Elizabeth was great. The kitties enjoyed having her around and playing with them. She was very thorough and let me know anything that was going on.

Alix is fantastic! I am 100% comfortable having my boys in her care! Not only did she come through for us last minute, she was wonderful with our doggies! I especially appreciated the photo updates. Thanks for putting our worries at ease Alix, you rock!

Lynn has been phenomenal to work with! In her summary of each visit, you can tell that she is invested in your pet and is enjoying spending time with them. Before our vacation, she alsp set up a meet & greet to ensure that she was fully prepared. I can't recommend her enough!

Madaline did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were away. We were a little concerned because one of our cats has been having some constipation issues lately and has been refusing to take her meds. Madaline was able to get her to take her meds and our cat had no issues when we returned. We will definitely request Madaline the next time that we are away!

Avery was so wonderful to work with!!! She took such good care of our cat, going above and beyond to make sure that he was okay since he kept hiding! She was great at communicating so I was never wondering what was going on thanks to her updates! Will definitely be booking her next time we travel!

Grace has been watching my cats for over 6 months now and does an absolutely stellar job each and every time! She takes amazing care of my kitties and also my home while I am away. She is very good about communicating how they are doing each day and you can tell she cares deeply about the fur babies she is caring for. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy sitter who goes above and beyond.

About: I’m the type of girl who walks up to you and asks if I can pet your dog! They bring so much joy to my life❤️ When I lived with my parents, I had the opportunity to grow up with a Whippet for the past 6 years! She’s 11 years old now, and she is just the sweetest little girl ever. She’s also a speed demon and still can catch squirrels and/or bunnies making me a very avid potty watcher;) Since I’m still in school and working part-time, I know that being a dog sitter would be a wonderful addition to my life! I’m more than willing to spend time with your dog regardless of age, disability, emotional capacity, and bonding ability! With my schedule right now, I am very accommodating to you and your dog’s needs. Know that ensuring your dog to my care not only promises the love and care that your pet needs, but also ensures that love and care to me as well! That’s how much I love dogs. Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry loved one(s)! As a part-time assistant coach and online grad student, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your dog consistent attention, comfort, and care. Whatever you need, I can make it work with my schedule! Even though I don’t have dogs of my own at home right now, I’m able to create a peaceful, safe, and welcoming environment just for yours. My space stays clean, calm, and free of distractions, which helps pets settle in quickly and feel secure. I follow your routines closely—from feeding and walks to comfort items and cues—so your pet feels consistency and familiarity even in a new place. I’m big on safety and trust: clear communication, careful supervision, and a home set up with your pet’s well-being in mind. Because I don’t have other animals here, your pet gets my full, focused attention and lots of one-on-one care. My goal is always to make your pet feel understood, safe, and genuinely loved while you’re away.

Camryn responded immediately and came out to meet my doggies beforehand. The dogs like her! She came out with her little one, but the dogs weren't quite sure about the baby carrier with the fan on it :). They were really curious though. Camryn took good care of my fur-babies, fed them and made sure they went potty before she left. I will contact her again.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and they bring me so much joy. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and I’ve found that I enjoy them all. I’ve had experience with training, potty training and have helped family and friends with dog walking. I currently go to school online so I am home most of the day. I have an older dog of my own so I am used to a routine of being able to be home to let me dog outside and take him for walks at least once a day. I have a fenced in backyard so that your dog can be outside as much as they like. I also have a dog that absolutely loves other animals. My son is a big fan of helping out with animals and we both enjoy snuggling up with our dog at the end of the day. I do allow dogs on furniture and in all rooms of my house, however I will respect if this is something you do not wish your dog to do.

Carly is the BEST! She's reliable, my dogs love her, and has amazing communication. My kiddos are kind of a handful, and I feel so comfortable trusting that she'll take care of them. She gives great updates, provides pictures, spends time with my pups, and really amazing at what she does. She's definitely my go-to when the kids need care!

I used Rod again for my pugs! They LOVE him. I scheduled him last minute and he immediately responded and made me feel good — once again—to leave my babies with him. He stayed longer than he needed to and i felt so comfortable being away.
