“Brad did an outstanding job with caring for our fur baby Rocky. We were away for almost a week and he made sure to give him a little extra care and comfort to make sure Rocky felt loved and cared for. He took him on extra long walks and made sure to connect with him on each visit. Highly highly recommend him and will definitely request again!”
“Charles was above and beyond what we expected. We have an English Bulldog, and he whined when he left. It was obvious he really does love animals and treats them with respect. He sent us updates throughout our absence, and kept in close contact. 5-star rating from us and highly recommended.”
“Mary-Ashlynne was wonderful! She consistently gave us updates with photos with each visit, which gave me a peace of mind in leaving our little guy behind! I’d highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Jessica was great with our kitties! We find it hard to trust people with our animals, but we absolutely trust her with our babies and will definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Wonderful! Reese is a great pet sitter. She touched base and kept me in the loop with my two cats and how they were doing each day with several pics. She even got my timid cat out to play each day and this is extraordinary. Can’t recommend enough!”

About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.
“Lillian was great! Definitely exceeded our expectations and put us at ease while we were away. First time using a service like this and she was so helpful. Thank you so much!”

About: I have taken care of a variety of pet and animals since I was young. I myself have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and even a couple goats. I am very comfortable around a variety of sized animals and have experience not only with my own pets but also sitting for a variety of small and large dogs as well as cats. I am currently taking part time classes for the summer and will potentially be working part time during the week. With that being said, I will be available in the evenings and at various times throughout the day depending on my schedule that week! I am very flexible and would love to work with you to ensure your pets have the best experience. I have experience working with dogs from under a year to more senior in age, as well as puppies to large breeds. I am available to stop in for potty breaks throughout the day, do meals and such in the mornings and evenings, and stay over to house sit overnight if needed. Some other experience I have is working with additional pets such as cats, reptiles, and small critters.
About: My love for animals all started when I was eight and took care of a family friend's cats. Since then, I have gained experience with animals of all types and sizes. In addition to our family dog, I adopted a rabbit of my own who was my pride and joy for six years before succumbing to a hereditary health issue. I also have taken horse lessons, and I currently volunteer with a nearby animal shelter as a dog walker and socializer. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds, and I look forward to offering your pet the best care it can get. I am currently working remotely, so pet care will be sprinkled throughout my daily routine. Because my schedule is spaced out and very flexible, I will be able to visit your pet as many times as needed throughout the day (or even stay at the house while working if asked) to ensure that they are getting the quality care and attention they need. I work with my clients to give both them and their pets the best possible experience. Prior to hire, I am happy (and in fact, prefer) to have a free 15-30 minute consultation to familiarize myself to the pet and discuss any care specifics that the client may have. Because my care is individualized and will conform to the owner's wishes, I love to send pictures and videos throughout the day of the pet's activities and any extra-cute moments. I make it a habit to send short write-ups of the day and the pet's activities that day so that my clients feel as connected as possible to their pets.
About: I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 7 summers. I have experience with all types of pets especially dogs and cats in a medical and home setting. I have three dogs of my own. I have a very flexible schedule during the summer as I am a college student who works remotely. I don’t have a set schedule it varies day to day. I love to spend quality time with your fur babies. If they enjoy cuddles I am your girl. I will take them on walks, play fetch, or simply be someone to keep them company.

Mia was amazing! My 2 cats are super shy and never come out when we have stranger in the house but she sent pictures each visit of them out and about! She was super sweet and very quick to respond to any messages. She stayed for a bit each visit even though I told her she didn’t have to worry about staying for long since they typically hide 🤣 Will definitely rebook with her!!
You said: After having pet sitters some good and some okay. It has made a little stressful for me entrusting someone with my babies over the holidays even for a couple days, feel mom guilt for leaving them. Having Angela come even after the first meeting felt so relieved she put me at ease and was so understanding, reassuring having own cats just had a calming presence that I really appreciated. She was very communicative regarding when coming, letting me know if going to be late even came a little early one time. Really meant alot to me to know that they were okay/taken care of been alot of personal things going on in my family this year so was just really nice to know that someone was there for them while I was gone just felt like she went above and beyond what I asked. Definately would recomend and hire again :) so if you are a first time pet mom or just looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who cares for animals she watches, great communication skills and following directions, look no further highly recomend Angela :) ChatGPT said: Here’s a polished, warm, and professional version that keeps your heart in it while flowing a bit more smoothly. I kept the tone genuine and appreciative, just tightened wording and clarity: After having a few pet sitters—some great and some just okay—I’ve realized how stressful it can be to entrust someone with your babies, especially over the holidays, even if it’s only for a couple of days. I definitely felt that pet-mom guilt about leaving them. From the very first meeting, Angela immediately put me at ease. She was so understanding and reassuring, and having cats of her own, she brought a calm and comforting presence that I truly appreciated. She was extremely communicative—letting me know when she was arriving, giving updates if she was running late, and even arriving a little early one time. That level of communication meant so much to me. Knowing my babies were safe and well cared for brought me such peace of mind, especially during a year with a lot of personal family stress. It was incredibly comforting to know someone was there for them while I was away. Angela truly went above and beyond what I asked, and I’m so grateful for the care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely hire her again. If you’re a first-time pet parent or simply looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter with great communication skills who follows directions and genuinely loves animals—look no further. I highly recommend Angela! 🐾💛 If you want it shorter (for Rover, Google, or Yelp) or more emotional vs. more professional, I can tailor it to the platform you’re posting on. You said: Reword for a review ChatGPT said: Here’s a concise, polished review version that still feels genuine and heartfelt: After having a mix of good and okay pet sitters, I’ve realized how stressful it can be to trust someone with your pets—especially over the holidays. From our first meeting, Angela immediately put me at ease. Her calm presence, understanding nature, and experience as a cat owner made me feel confident leaving my babies in her care. Angela was extremely communicative, always letting me know when she was coming, updating me if she was running late, and even arriving early once. With a lot of personal family things going on this year, it meant so much to know my pets were safe, cared for, and checked on regularly. She truly went above and beyond what I asked. I would absolutely recommend and hire Angela again. If you’re a first-time pet parent or looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter with great communication skills, Angela is wonderful. Highly recommend!
We are very thankful for Isa! Not only did she make herself available without much notice, but her professionalism, ,skill and kindness as she interacts with animals and their parents is what we all hope to find in a pet sitter. When we do find such a gem, we want to stay connected to such a wonderful person who takes such good care of our baby. We found a wonderful sitter last year who always takes care of our girl, but sometimes our last-minute request find her not available. We never thought we could ever find someone to trust since our usual sitter goes so above and beyond. I’m so thankful to be proven wrong by finding Isa! Thank you, Isa for taking care of our little old girl. She was very happy and secure and your photography of her will always be treasured! We hope that you’ll be available for future visits.
