1. Alexander S.
“Alexander was great with our pups. The real test was as soon as he came in my boy came right up to him to be pet. My boy doesn’t love tall men so this sealed the deal for me. He sat with our boys all week. We would definitely use Alexander again.”
2. Carla V.
“Carla was wonderful with our dog and cat. Our elderly cat, Ellie, was in her final stages of life, but we felt comfortable leaving her with Carla, who updated us daily, or more, on her declining health. Unfortunately, we said goodbye to Ellie the day we got home. But, we're glad she was with such a caring person her final week of life. We would enthusiastically recommend Carla as your pet sitter.”
3. Amy L.
“Amy was good company for our two dogs at a vacation rental, allowing us to go out for an anniversary dinner. Prompt, reliable, good communication”
4. Nishat R.
“My husband and I one hundred percent recommend Nishat! She was communicative, professional but personable, and very quick to respond when my husband and I were desperately making last minute sitting plans for our big pup Oliver and cat Dexter! At the meet and greet, it was immediately clear that Nishat is an animal lover and during the few days she took care of our fur babies, the pictures and videos she sent made it clear our little ones were in safe and loving hands! Thank you, Nishat! Whatever pets and pet parents you take care of are lucky to have you!”
5. Kaden F.
“Kaden stayed overnight and took wonderful care of our rambunctious lab. We returned to a well exercised and happy boy. We will definitely use him again.”
6. Ayreal Z.
“Ayreal was thorough, attentive, communicated at every step and kept in touch throughout the whole process. She sent photos and updates and made sure all our fur babies were well taken care of. She was very patient with our female cat who is usually the less social one and also took great care of our house and plants as well! We would definitely work with Ayreal again, a trustworthy sitter all around.”
7. Dawn L.
“Dawn was great!! My pets were obviously very well cared for :) My pup has some special needs and she was on top of it and sent plenty of updates and pics to ease my mind as this was the first time we’ve left our dog with anyone since she had her amputation back in September. I didn’t worry about a thing and was able to enjoy a long weekend away knowing my pup was well attended to. Will definitely use Dawn again :)”
8. Faith S.
“Faith was available last minute and took great care of our babies and our house. She sent us lots of photos and videos and was easy to get ahold of. We'll definitely be reaching back out in the future.”
9. Taylor M.
“Taylor was terrific! She took wonderful care of our 11 yr old sweet girl. The house was immaculate when we came home. She will definitely be a keeper for us!”
10. Morgyn D.
About: I have cared for cats and dogs for several years (including medication and special diets). You can travel with peace of mind knowing your doggy and cat are in good hands. Animals tend to feel comfortable with me because I am calm and loving but we also have fun walking, playing, and cuddling. In addition to petsitting, I was a pet owner for 18 years as well have pets growing up. I've lived with and cared for the pets of many roommates and family members, all with a variety of personalities. Holidays are no problem which can sometimes be hard to find. As a business owner working in healing and wellness for 30 years, I'm very responsible, patient and attentive. I love nature, the outdoors, and being active but also help create a peaceful environment. I hope we can work together :) Morgyn I work online so I have the flexibility to give your pets consistent loving care and attention both day and night. Your peace of mind and their well-being and happiness is my priority. I care for your pets in your home and on walks and short outings, if applicable. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved.
11. Willie G.
“Willie was fantastic with our pup! He was quick and responsive with communication and our last minute request for sitting. He was polite and respectful of our home and left it better than he found it.”
12. Walker E.
“I am Walker's brother and we grew up together surrounded by animals. We both worked on our family's Bernese Mountain dog "farm" where we breed dogs and helped raise them until they were sold. He always was wonderful with the animals and had connections with every pup. Aside from our dogs, he has had guinea pigs, a hedge hog, and cats. He really does it all and loves them all.”
13. Ashley M.
“Ashley was great with Gus and Chloe, she was very communicative throughout the week and was flexible on a time adjust. I even heard from our neighbor she was very attentive to Gus and did a lot of outdoor playing. Would request Ashley again when needed.”
14. Morgan L.
“Morgan is a very responsible and patient person with the love and passion for animals. I highly recommend Morgan for all your pet care services!”
15. Hannah C.
“Hannah was very easy to work with and she seemed to have lots of fun with the pups!”
16. Nicole D.
“Fantastic experience, our sons dog and our cat can’t be together, Nicole did a great job of giving them each the extra love so that they both felt comfortable while we were away! I would definitely recommend Nicole for all your pet sitting, walking, house sitting needs. An absolute delight to work with!”
17. Cecilita F.
“Cecilita is wonderful! She stayed in my home with my dog and he adored his time with her. She sent me lots of fun loving photos of their times together and updates assuring me he was doing well. I was able to enjoy my time away stress free, and extra happy knowing my baby back home was having fun too. Thank you, Ceci! I will be reaching out next time I need to get away. Appreciate you, & so does Milly.”
18. Eliot J.
“Eliot was on time, flexible, and great with the dogs. We had a great meet and greet where she walked us through how she sits. She set clear expectations and made us feel very confident about leaving our dogs in her care. We have three high energy dogs and she kept them happy and healthy throughout her stay. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. We couldn't be happier with the job Eliot did and hope to have her sit again.”
19. Tony C.
“Tony has been dog sitting our two dogs for us for the past few years. He is very interactive with our dogs always wanting to play with them. Tony makes sure our dogs are happy and active. He truly loves being around dogs and animals. Tony frequently sends pictures and/or videos of our dogs having fun and playing throughout their stay with him. We know the dogs are in good hands with Tony whenever we go away.”
