I think my dog is always just a little upset when he sees me, rather than Jennifer, walk in the door. He is always a happy boy when she stays.

Laura watched our dog at our home while we were away for a few days. She did an excellent job with our dog and treated our home with respect. We will definitely reach out in the future when we can't bring our pup on trips! Highly recommend Laura

I don’t have my own yard but outside my house there’s a nice space for pets where they can run, walk safe. It’s like a nice big green yard basically.

Karen was great! She was on time, kind and considerate. Excellent communicator! I felt immediately at ease leaving Luci with her. Luci took to her immediately and seemed kind of sad to see her go after we got home. Will be using her again for sure!

Kimberly did a wonderful job of watching my 2 dogs and cat in our home when we went away last weekend. My 2 chihuahuas instantly liked her which is not always the case. She is very reliable and left the house just as we left it. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her next time we go away. Thanks Kimberly!

About: I’ve supported pet owners by providing reliable care that focuses on routine, safety, and comfort. I’ve worked with pets of varying energy levels and personalities and understand how consistency, patience, and clear communication help animals feel at ease while away from their owners. My availability allows me to dedicate consistent time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I plan my day carefully to ensure pets receive dependable attention without feeling rushed or overstimulated. I prioritize clear routines, secure spaces, and careful supervision. I follow instructions exactly as provided, keep environments clean, and remain observant of behavior changes so pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was a baby. There has never been a time in my life where I haven’t had a pet. I have reptiles, a turtle, fish, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, you name it. With all those pets comes a lot of responsibility, and I’ve always stepped up and made sure my animals are protected and well taken care of. I help out neighbors, friends, and family as well, walking, feeding, bathing, running, and even just spending time with the animals when the owner is gone for a long period of time. I do pet care as well when people are on vacation, and keep the house clean and leave everything the way I found it when I leave. I’m currently a college student taking online classes so my schedule is mostly free. I am a part time jiujitsu instructor so most nights I am busy, but I always make sure that the quality of life for the animals comes before school or any hobby of mine. I take care of all the pets I have, and will treat your animals as if they are my own. I will follow whatever instructions you have exactly as you give them, because I would expect the same for someone caring for my animals.

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

Karen did a real great job taking care of our two pups. We had an emergency where we could not fly in as originally planned as she extended her days to take care of our dogs. The dogs looked happy, where comfortable and loved playing with her.

Julia was an incredible sitter for Polo over Christmas week. From the moment we booked, she was communicative and thoughtful, excited to spend time with him. Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates and photos. Polo can be a sensitive little guy, but he warmed up to her and Julia kept his routine consistent, gave him tons of attention, and made sure he got plenty of playtime and snuggles. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands during the holidays. I would recommend Julia without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again!

Beth was very communicative and flexible while accommodating our last minute plans to travel for Christmas Eve and Day. I met with Beth prior to our travel and she asked questions, provided references who were happy to provide glowing recommendations, and even returned back to meet my spouse who wasn’t available at our initial meeting. During our travel she took very good care of my dog and parrot, providing updates throughout the two days she was watching them including photos of our pets which set our minds at ease knowing our animals looked happy and well taken care of while we were away. There were absolutely zero issues with Beth. We are so happy to have found a trusted pet sitter to watch our pets.
