“Wanted to follow up with a feedback regarding Jorden pet sitting,. Like many others looking for a reliable and affordable pet sitter I came across Jordan's profile. Jorden has been exactly what we're looking for. Jordan has earned our respect and Jorden has made it easy to communicate with. Which is why we're trusting jorden with our pets.”


“We had to leave town at the last minute and Elizabeth kindly took care of our dog. She even made time to come meet the dog and see the house before we had to go. She was responsive and took great care of the pup. Thank you, Elizabeth, for taking the additional worry of dog care off the plate while we prepared to leave town! I would use Elizabeth again for sure!”


“Melissa was so friendly and amazing at keeping our minds at ease while being away from our fur babies!! She goes above and beyond to make everything comfortable for them and tries to give them the best experience she can while with them. Would definitely book again in the future!!!”


“Stacie was terrific! It's very obvious she is in-tune with creatures and Sam seemed to be instantly comfortable with her. Going away is much easier when we know both house and Sam are in good hands.”


“I have known Teri personally for more than 20 years and, over that time, I have seen how much love and care she has always provided for her fur family. As a responsible pet parent, the needs of Teri's fur babies have always been prioritized. Teri's adventurous lifestyle has allowed her furry friends to remain active and live life to the fullest. You should have no reservations when choosing Teri to be your pet's caregiver while you are away. You can be assured that they will be well taken care of and loved in your absence.”

“Teresa was an absolute gem! She took exceptional care of our dogs and home while we were away, making our first dog-sitting experience seamless and stress-free. Her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind. We are so grateful we chose her and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”


“Colin took care of my rescue pup, Annie, a black lab mix with special needs, for an extended stay after a previous sitter had to cancel at the last minute. You could tell right off what a pet lover he was. He asked many good questions at the meet and greet, was punctual and handled Annie’s energy well on a leash. Colin sent me pictures and multiple daily updates on how she was doing. Giving her daily meds, tennis ball play times and long walks to help with her anxiety were part of a daily routine. I came home to a tired and happy pup. I would highly recommend Colin to anyone needing pet sitting services! Jain & Annie”


“Leeann did a great job taking care of our 9 month old collie for one night. She communicated well and sent pictures to update us throughout her stay. Our dog seemed very comfortable with Leeann. Our dog was in a happy and calm mood when we returned home. Leeann left our apartment very tidy and clean as well.”


“Magdalena has provided dog walking and overnight sitting my large mix dog. Maggie has been a reliable, dependable, and trusted pet care provider for both scheduled and adhoc pet needs. I trust Maggie with my pet needs while also entrusting her in my home whilst she is overnight sitting. Your pet will be well cared for with Magdalena.”

“Kristen is so awesome with my dog Jake. He is a german shepherd and he loves when she visits. She has stayed overnight at my house to watch him when I have been on out of town trips. She is so loving towards him and took him on walks and played ball with him. She is the first person I ask to watch Jake when I need.”

“Melissa is truly one of the best! Her updates were always incredibly thorough and were exactly what we needed! It was amazing to come home to happy dogs and a clean house! She’s incredible!”


“Amy was great with my dogs. They played outside on our field with her dog and were happy and excited when I came home - a real sign of a stress-free weekend! Amy sent me updates and everything was very positive. Thanks, Amy!!”


“Jonathan is very friendly and an excellent communicator who clearly cares a great deal for animals. He and his dog Ben are both very patient with my puppy, taking all of his energy and inexperience in stride while treating him kindly and giving him the attention and play time he needs. My dog enjoyed his time with Jonathan and Ben, and my cats weren't scared of either of them (which is about as high a grade as you can get from those guys, they are tough customers!). Jonathan left my home clean and tidy, as well, and he will certainly be the first person I turn to with any future pet sitting needs. Thanks so much, Jonathan!”


“I've trusted Angela for years with my dogs. She's very patient and fun and even speaks to them providing more comfort! My Daisy would talk to her as long as she could. I even tried speaking to Daisy but it wasn't the same lol. Shes very caring. I recommend her every time.”

“Amanda was AMAZING for our house sitting booking. She took such good care of our pitbull and cat. She really connects with animals and they absolutely love her. Our cat, who normally hates strangers and always hides, was curled up on her lap by the first night. We will definitely be booking her again!”


“Carrie was an excellent sitter. She was quick to respond to the booking request and to set up a meet and greet. We have 3 dogs ranging from 13 years to almost 2 years, and they can be a handful, but they all took to her right away. She was very professional and friendly and great to work with. She took excellent care of our pups and we came home to 3 happy and safe dogs. She sent pictures and videos and updates throughout the stay which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip knowing the pups were in good hands. She left the house in great shape and made sure we arrived home safely. We would highly recommend Catyie to anyone, and will definitely reach out for any future sitting needs.”


“Gabriel was amazing! He was very sweet & professional. We hired him to be our pet sitter for a weekend when went away to have a couples weekend get away out of state. Gabriel kept us updated every day with pictures, text messages and phone calls whenever we wanted to check in. Our dogs loved him. We have 2 German Shepards and Gabriel was not afraid. He was a natural dog whisperer. His playful nature is what our dogs were attracted to. He fed them, walked them on long walks, played with them, so much that when we got home our babies were so calm and relaxed. He has a natural gift with dogs. You can tell he loves dogs and naturally took the lead of being the head of the pack while we were away. We will definitely be using Gabriel again for our pet sitting needs in the future.”


“I was glad to have Audrey meet Quinn. He is young and can still be a challenge but I believe they enjoyed themselves, and it saved me worry about him being home alone.”


“Mady is terrific - she took excellent care of Zena. Her dog Sebastian was a great playmate for Zena and helped make the time we were away fun for her. Mady used good judgement and was responsible. She's also very pleasant and a pleasure to work with. I'd definitely recommend her and would be happy to use her again.”
