“Tara was great with Bernie. He is a big dog and can get into mischief. We were able to all go on a family vacation thanks to finding Tara. Her communication is 5 stars and she followed the directions for Bernie to the letter. We appreciate the great care Bernie had and will be using Tara again!”
“Tami is great. Our dogs are kind of weirdos, but she figured out their unique personalities quickly and sent lots of photos and updates. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Susana was amazing! Our three pets can sometimes be a little shy, but they warmed up to her very quickly. She kept in touch with us sending lots of pictures which we really appreciated. She even vacuumed. The house was very clean when we got home. Highly recommended!”
About: Hello! Since a young age, I have lived with a happy, excited dog who has always been a joy to come home to. As a younger sitter, I believe I bring a special energy and excitement when it comes to taking care of dogs. I watched my golden doodle transform from a little puppy into an awesome dog. From feeding her, taking her on walks, cleaning up after her, watching her, and simply spending time with her, I learned how to take care of a dog in all phases of her life. I recognize that all dogs behave differently, but I enjoy looking after dogs who have a ton of energy and love constant attention. That being said, I think dogs who are quieter and might not want as much attention are just as important! Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I hope I have the opportunity to care for your dog soon! I am currently a college student home for summer break, so I should be pretty flexible when it comes to caring for your dog. Besides taking one online summer course, I will most likely be free for most of the day, if you need me! Although I will not be taking dogs at my own house, I am more than willing to take your dog for a walk in the park, around the suburb that I live in, or on the lake path that I am near. I am more than happy to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. If that means staying at your house and just utilizing your space, that is great!
“Emily as always provides the most loving care. We have had her stay with our puppy 3 times and each time she goes above and beyond. She works on training, takes her on walks and sends pictures and updates through the stay. I already have Emily booked again for another long weekend in October and plan to have her stay Penny's official dog sitter for however long she is will be available!”
“Our dogs absolutely love Brandi. She is so sweet, kind, and especially patient with our shy dog. I’m always comfortable when away as I know our fur babies will be well cared for.”
“Quazaye watched our 2 dogs on a overnight for 2 nights. One of our dogs is 15 and has diabetes and cushings and needs insulin 2X a day. Quazaye was able to administer the shots which not everyone can. Quazaye is very personable,trustworthy,dependable and responsive. I highly recommend her for care of your beloved pets!”
“100% recommend Stephanie! I was definitely a little scared to leave my furry family in the hands of another that wasn't family for the very first time, while traveling out of state. However, that scared feeling subsided very quickly as Stephanie, cared for all three of our furry family members like they were her own. I got daily texts with updates on how the two cats (Casper & Cruella) and our dog (Cooper, who has very very bad separation anxiety) were doing, along with photo updates as well. Once again, I highly recommend Stephanie, we will definitely be having her watch our furry family again! Thank you again Stephanie for taking such great care of our furry family, while we were away.”
“Murphy Loved Vonnie! And she sent pictures. She's amazing! I will definitely be reaching out to her again. Best Sitter Ever. Totally made me feel comfortable leaving my best buddy with her. She is AWESOME!”
“Abigail was wonderful to work with - she was prompt and communicative, and demonstrated that she was taking watching our pup Leila who has separation anxiety seriously. She asked great questions, and accommodated my request to stay with her for the entire visit. I trusted Leila was in great hands, which was such a relief. She even sent pictures and left us a kind note. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“We booked Jason for house sitting with our dog who has separation anxiety and does not do well in a boarding environment. Jason is great with our dog! Jason came into our house and our dog immediately migrated to him. Jason provided ample walks and gave our dog personalized attention. His wife Emily is also a dog sitter on this site and she has watched our dog too! She is also amazing! We will only be using their services for our dog! We love the husband and wife team!”
“Hannah stayed in our home and watched our dog for a week. He is an older dog and needs medicine twice a day plus some extra TLC getting up and down steps or even the couch. She was wonderful! She was always in communication with me and sent pictures all the time which really put my mind at ease. She took such great care of him and our house too. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have only had my own dogs to engage with but I love to teach them new tricks and help them learn. I am also not afraid to get to know shy pets I would be available after 4:30pm weekends but available all weekend. I work around having other jobs but am open those parts of the day I feed them, walk them, and teach them new tricks. I also love to play with my dogs to get the energy out of them
