3. Stephanie B.

“Stephanie was FABULOUS! She went the extra mile to ensure our pups were happy and comfortable. Usually when I go out of town, I come home to two pups that seem pretty depressed, but when I came back this time, it's like I hadn't even left! Stephanie kept them plenty occupied and I'm sure they felt loved while they were with her. I will definitely be retaining Stephanie in the future. :)”

“Grace is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! We’ve used her dog-sitting services multiple times and she is always super easy to communicate with, dependable, and she went above and beyond what we asked of her. She asked if she could take our dog for a nice trail run which made us so happy to know he was getting out for some fun exercise that we didn’t expect while we were out of town. We highly recommend Grace if you’re looking for complete peace of mind for your pet while you are away.”

I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I have been house and dog sitting since I was in my teens. I have a Yorkie myself that is registered as a service animal and needs to travel with me, but she is amazing with both dogs and cats, is hypoallergenic, doesn’t shed, and is house-trained. I know how important it is for some pets to be in their familiar environment while you are away, and I’m here to help meet whatever needs they have in their normal routine, including walks, medications, watering plants, bringing in mail/packages, and cleaning up any unexpected messes your pet may have. I’m meticulously clean, responsible, and respectful of your space. I love to hike with my own dog and we’re very active so I’m happy to meet any exercise needs your dog may have as well. Reach out to book today! Your fur babies and home are in good hands. I work full-time M-F, but I’m salaried and could absolutely come check on your pet every couple of hours, if needed, around work meetings. I’m happy to provide walks in the morning, afternoon or evening to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I’m available all day on weekends and all evening. I know how important it is for some pets to remain in their home when their parents are away. I’m happy to give your pet that comfort and security while providing additional services, such as cleaning up any unexpected pet messes, bringing in your mail, and watering houseplants. I have a small service dog that needs to travel with me, but she is great with both cats and dogs, is hypoallergenic, and doesn’t shed. I’m meticulously clean and responsible, and love animals.


11. Cheyenne T.

“Cheyenne did a great job taking care of our cat “Leo” while we were gone. She answered our request promptly and came the same day for meet and instructions. Thanks to her our plants stayed alive while we were gone in the almost 100 degree heat because she did some watering as well and we really appreciated that. Leo seemed well taken care of when we returned.”

“Absolutely awesome experience. My boyfriend was having surgery and we needed someone to check in on our girl. Eleandra was wonderful and eased a lot of our worry. It was already a stressful time, but hiring her was a big help. Highly recommend.”


14. Hallie R.

“Hallie is a gem! For nearly two weeks, she cared for our elderly cat who is uncomfortable with change and is a persnickety eater. Hallie had a calm and intuitive understanding of Smudge’s needs and adjusted accordingly ... and kept us well-informed. Hallie sat with her daily and talked with her and played her favorite Alexa cat music :) Hallie provided excellent care; I would absolutely recommend her.”
