“Carol was awesome! She came through on a short notice when we had to leave town on an emergency. On our meet and greet she knew exactly how to greet my nervous dog. From the beginning she made me feel comfortable and confident with her. She stayed 5 nights total with our dog and cat. Got home two happy pets. Throughout her sitting she updated me and just held down the fort like she was part of the family. Thank you so much Carol! If I could rate her higher I would!”
“She was very good with my Cockapoo!”
About: It’s not a job for me it’s what I love to do. I have experience with senior care and I always celebrate their birthdays and special occasions. Once I booked the pups I do all my errands weeks before so I’m ready for them to arrived. Once they’re home it’s all about them. At my house they’re care as one of my own. Potty and playing time is very fun in my yard even though we have no fence yet they’re all on a leash with plenty feet to run around.
“Xaviera was a life saver when she house sat for us when we had to leave town last minute around Christmas time, and needed someone trustworthy to take care of our dog, Ginny. Xaviera made the trip to our house the day before she started to meet Ginny and see the place, and during the week she stayed at our house we got daily pics and clips. She treated Ginny very well (including a few Christmas presents...!) and we felt both our house and dog are in very good hands. We will definitely contact Xaviera again next time we need a sitter.”
“Penelope was TOTALLY AWESOME! We will MOST DEFINITELY be requesting/using her to watch our fur babies in the future! They took to Penelope right away and she shared lots of info and photos of them hanging out and playing. We appreciate the way she cared for our babies. They live her:)”

“Wow! Nikki is the best dog sitter ever! My German Shephard gets excited when we arrive at Nikki's place. The care and attention he gets makes me feel so positive and relieved to leave him there. Many places have fleas and kennel cough lurking about, but I never worry about that with Nikki's place. A load off my mind when I have to travel. Nikki is the Dog Whisperer.”

11. Tifani B.
“I have been using Tifani for about two years now to take care of my male cat while I’m away. My cat is a little bit skittish, but not around Tifani. She is so good with him. She comes twice a day and feeds him and plays with him. She’ll even hang around sometimes longer just because she wants to be with him. She is a true animal lover, and my cat mittens likes her probably more than he likes me. She is extremely responsible and keeps me posted on how he’s doing. She even sends me videos of him playing with her. Tiffany would be an excellent choice as a pet sitter.”
