Jade did a great job on her first visit. Kept us informed with all aspects of her visit and we appreciate everything she did to get our dog to warm up to her!

Elizabeth watched our four cats over the holidays and was a great sitter! From the beginning she was super communicative and worked with our schedule. She was great with them from our needy lap cat to our scaredy cat who hid all the time. It was a great relief to know we had a reliable sitter for when we were out of the country to check in on our cats. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her as a sitter again.

Nicholas not only exceeds pet parent expectations with his attention to detail, he’s also quite the “dog-whisperer.” My Willy seems to really do well with pottying and eating when Nicholas visits. It’s a very good feeling knowing Nicholas is caring for my little guy.

Emily is a life saver! I have two somewhat high maintenance kitties that can’t be left alone when I travel. She feeds them and keeps me updated while I’m away with what’s going on. I have a special needs cat who sometimes has health issues and Emily makes sure to let me know if anything seems off or changes with her at all. She also is able to keep up with my very rambunctious kitten - which is definitely a lot!

Brynn was a great help and was very understanding in my joining on the app and using the service(s) for the first time. She was very considerate in providing with the dogs with a bit of playtime, and provided regular updates/pictures to my personal phone. I would certainly recommend her service(s) to anyone needing a sitter in the area. Thank you, again, Brynn!

Courtney was fabulous! I was a nervous dog mommy, leaving our new family pet for the first time. Courtney did a great job of taking care of him, and reassuring me along the way. She regularly texted updates, so I knew he was doing well and getting what he needed while we were gone. She was always quick to respond if I had a question too. I will definitely use her again!

About: I’ve had a dog for 8 years now. I trained her when she was a puppy and make sure to always do research on what’s best for her when it comes to food, health decisions or anything else. I regularly administer medications to my dog. I love all types of pets and bring 100% effort to everything I do! I’m currently working part time and am in college, this leaves me with plenty of time to help you care for your furry friends when you aren’t home. My availability is usually between 12-3 on M/W and then anytime after 4:30, weekends usually anytime before 3pm I remain calm and patient when working with pets. I also can earn their trust and get them into a crate if needed. When outside their safety would be my first priority.

About: I've had pets since I was a kid including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish etc. My neighbors have relied on me to take care of their animals as well as family members. Patience and attentive care for all pets. I'm available weeknights after 5:30PM and most weekends. I don't have any pets at home so I'm looking forward to taking care of other pets and helping others. Some of my pets have been crate trained so I'm familiar with having to put dogs in crates. I am open to taking dogs on walks or just letting them out in a fenced in yard.

About: I’ve spent decades caring for dogs — my own as well as pets belonging to family and friends. I currently walk and hike my dog, Copper, multiple times a day, so exercise, leash safety, and paying attention to a dog’s comfort and energy level are part of my everyday routine. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, from calm neighborhood walkers to more energetic dogs who need longer outings. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and happy on every walk. I’m a portrait artist working from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the day. I walk my dog, Copper, multiple times daily, so pet care and outdoor time are already part of my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins during the day and early evening most days of the week. I prioritize calm, attentive care and clear communication with pet owners. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure food, water, walks, and litter boxes are handled exactly as instructed. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and always use secure leashing and safe handling practices. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away.

We absolutely adore Julie. She took her time and not only had no problem with our cat's semi complicated meal routine, but she sat with our very needy cat and gave her undivided attention while we were away. We will absolutely be contacting Julie anytime we are going to be away and need our pets to be taken care of.

Elizabeth did a fantastic job in her visits with my cat Star. She did everything I asked of her including a couple of last minute instructions I had while away. She also sent messages with pictures which gave me plenty of piece of mind knowing my little buddy was okay. I highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet. Superb job!

Drake came to meet our 2 yr old rambunctious 80 pound dog and they became fast friends. Drake is easy to communicate with and responds within a reasonable amount of time. Drake “knows” dogs. He knew our guy was still young and learning so his manners may need reinforcement…and did so patiently. I would DEFINITELY have Drake for our sitter without hesitation!
