2. Blake B.
“Blake was amazing! She took great care of our senior dog and made sure he was comfortable. She kept us informed all week and even cleaned the sheets and towels she used while staying here. We would highly recommend her!”
3. Stacy A.
“Stacy was great! There was excellent communication before she watched our two dogs, and we felt very confident with her experience. When she was watching the dogs, she communicated regularly and made us feel at ease. Stacy even swept up some leaves in the area where the dogs do their business - a nice touch. We will definitely be using her again.”
4. Yaxeli T.
“Such a sweet and reliable girl. Came into town for the night and needed someone to watch my dog, was a little nervous not being from the are and all, but as soon as she walked in the door I felt at ease. She did such a great job! Would definitely use her all the time if I lived in the area!”
5. Mitchell T.
“Mitchell was an amazing 2 dog ? ?/house sitter while we were on an 8 day vacation. From first contact and thru the stay his communication was excellent. I was so much more relaxed being away knowing that my 2 lab/spaniel mix sisters were in capable hands. They can be difficult and Mitchell wasn’t intimidated by them. I would hire him again for sure.”
6. Ariel B.
“The best house sitter we've had in years. I'm fastidious by nature, and it's hard for us to find someone who's not only able to take good care of our precious kitties, but someone who can also return our home to the neat-as-a-pin state we left it in. Ariel was quick and clear in her communications, and followed through on everything she said she'd do. It was a pleasure to work with her. We will certainly cross our fingers and hope she's available the next time we go out of town.”
7. Savannah M.
“Savannah was wonderful with my dog and cat. She kept me updated regularly, checked up on any issues, minor medical events and was very thoughtful and aware. I can tell that my pets felt very loved while i was away and got lots of play, cuddles and love. She was also a thoughtful house guest and cleaned to and formed directions well. I will happily rebook with Savannah!”
8. Jhian D.
“5 stars isn’t enough to express how great Jhian & Joseph are! Our pup got more than sitters, she got a family. A family that welcomed her as part of their pack. They genuinely put her needs first by prioritizing her comfort and care. They sent daily updates with pics and videos that brought us so much joy during our time away. She was literally SMILING ear to ear in every pic and wagging her tail in every video. Peace of mind for your pet and home while away is priceless. With Jhian & Joseph, your fur baby will feel like they got a vacation too! 🥰 I am so grateful and look forward to the next time!”

“Ashley watched my two dogs and cat and did a fantastic job! She kept me updated during her stay and was very professional and responsive. I will be booking her to house sit again! 🩷”
10. Erik A.
“Amazing! My dogs seemed happy and was updated with pictures the entire time. Erik is very easy going and really helped Put my mind at ease with my concerns with all the dogs. So easy to communicate with and really handled the dogs well and with ease. Very happy with him. Felt comfortable with him from the moment we met! Will definitely use him again!!!”
11. Cora Leigh L.
“Cora was such a great sitter for my 6 month old puppy. She is an animal lover and it definitely shows. She took care of my pup for a few hours one evening, took him for a walk, played games with him and even sent me photos which I so appreciated! I would highly recommend her.”
12. Dane T.
“Dane is absolutely wonderful! He rolled with some odd travel punches in the beginning, and we came home to a happy and clearly well-cared for dog. He kept us in the loop with pictures and messages, which kept us feeling confident Kai was having a good time. Our house was also cleaner than when we left. We are so grateful to have found Dane!!”
13. Emelina M.
“It's hard to even know where to begin with this review, other than to just come right out and say that Emelina was truly THE BEST! Like most folks, our dog Dylan, is our family, our special boy, and we don't take lightly the decision of who takes care of him. Emelina stayed at our house and went beyond what we could have hoped for - she walked him, brushed him, fed him, played with him, bathed him, gave him his meds, removed a tick that she saw, took him out in the car, celebrated his birthday, cuddled with him, slept with him, and just overall loved him, just as we would. And she sent us tons of photos and videos to let us know how he was doing. My whole family was away at a wedding and I passed around the messages and photos from Emelina and we were all delighted at how much fun they were having together. It really put our minds at ease and I truly couldn't be more grateful!! On top of doing an outstanding job with Dylan, Emelina unfortunately experienced a major plumbing issue at our house. I gave her the plumbers number, we communicated via text, as we were out of the country, what steps needed to be taken and she handled it all, professionally, responsibly, and with an easy spirit and attitude. And even beyond that she took great care of our home! If you need a pet sitter and Emelina is available BOOK HER.”

About: I've taken care of domestic and exotic critters most of my life - llamas, goats, horses, reptiles, ducks, cats, & dogs. Most of my friends rely on me to take care of their animals when they are away. worked in a pet hospital; a science center with aquariums, and reptile cages. Although I have enjoyed my previous extensive interactions with various species, I am currently only caring for cats & dogs. I am frequently told that their animals don't usually warm up to strangers, but I am the exception. I am a health care provider with a part-time private practice. I offer treatments by appointment only, which allows me a great deal of flexibility in my schedule. I only offer pet care in the homes of the animals. I closely follow the requests of the pet owners in order to properly care for their animals.

16. Amy M.
“We are so happy to have had Amy overnight sit at our house for 10 days. We have high expectations when it comes to caring for our senior dog and Amy did an absolutely amazing job! She regularly updated us with pictures and how he was doing. She administered medicine to him daily and we could see how relaxed he was when we returned home. She not only took great care of our dog but our house as well. We returned to find everything clean and organized, she collected our mail and even took out the trash and recycling. We highly recommend Amy and would certainly love to have her come and look after our dog again!!”
17. Talia A.
About: I have always had a dog in my home growing up. I now have two of my own, 4 year old black labs who I treat as my children. I care deeply about their health and well-being and will be sure to treat your doggies the same! I keep them active with multiple walks a day and go to the dog park at least once a day. I am happy to cater to what your dog needs while you are away! I have a very flexible schedule right now and plenty of time to care for your dog while you are away from them. Although some days I have other dogs to walk so I will need to leave for short periods of time. I live in an apartment and do not have a yard, however I offer many potty breaks, multiple walks, and play time outside. My two labs seem to not miss the yard we used to have - and probably get more exercise now that we live here! I am happy to watch your dog in your home as well, if you would consider allowing me to bring my dogs with me. They are house-trained and very friendly.
18. Olivia Z.
“Olivia is beyond amazing! 10 stars! I am so lucky and happy that Olivia stayed at my home and took care of my two seniors. Olivia gave multiple updates and pictures a day. She gave my dog medicine and provided 2-3 daily walks. My boys were so well cared for and loved. I am so very grateful for Olivia taking care of our precious dogs like they were her own. She is a true gem. My boys loved her! So many tail wags!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was very young and have always loved it. Caring for animals is a huge passion of mine, and I’m very enthusiastic to help out others! I’m currently back in town for summer break, and I’m hoping to be able to help some people out! My schedule is pretty much completely open and there will be a very short time when I’ll be away. I care for pets every single day! Growing up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs and chickens has taught me so much about caring for animals. I am very attentive, gentle and understanding when it comes to pet care, and I absolutely never lose my patience. I will ensure the pet or pets are comfortable and feel respected!

About: Hello, I’m 25 years old and have a full time job as a graphic designer but would love to walk dogs on my days off this summer. I have healthy and happy dogs myself. I have walked dogs ever since I was in high school! Tues-Friday after 5pm. Saturday after 3pm Sunday and Monday: anytime! However please send me a message beforehand and we can figure something out if my schedule doesn’t work for you. Unfortunately, I live in a studio and don’t have the space for more dogs in my home but I could go to a client’s home and take care of your pets there. I also know enough parks and trails in the area to go hiking/walking with up to 2 dogs.
