“JOHN IS THE BEST! Such a kind guy and our "fur kids" ADORE him. Cannot say enough great things. Definitely a new member of the family!”


2. Morgan H.

“Morgan was absolutely great! She kept us well informed, the animals were perfectly cared for, and she even took the trash to the curb. The house was clean when we got back. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone!”


3. Cayla J.

“This was my first experience leaving my fur babies with anyone other than friends or family. Cayla was very patient with me and my apprehensions of using a dog sitter. I got updates throughout my trip and pictures of them hanging on the couch relaxing. She said she would love to watch them again when needed and we will definitely be using her again! Bonus points for our house being super clean when we returned from our trip!”


4. Julia H.

“This is our second time using Julia and she is without a doubt the best ever. Can’t wait to travel again knowing that Kimber is so well taken care of.”

6. Erin F.

“We couldn’t appreciate Erin more! After a bad experience with our last sitter we were nervous to leave our boys again but Erin was amazing!! She was extremely professional from the start. She kept us updated with tons of photos. The house was cleaner than when we left and our boys seemed so comfortable and happy. We will absolutely book with Erin again!!”


7. Katherine R.

I am currently very flexible with wide availability on weekdays and weekends at many different times. I make servicing your pups and kitties a priority!!! My dogs are walked frequently, have a feeding schedule, enjoy treats, and have all the toys and beds any dog would ever want or need!!


10. Elizabeth M.
“She has 5 dogs of her own that are wonderfully taken care of and with such amazing training. She's always been reliable and trustworthy. All she ever talks about is her love of animals. She's very intelligent and has in depth knowledge of the breeds she interacts with.”


11. Christian D.
About: I’ve taken care of and walked dogs of all shapes and sizes. When I was a child I grew up with Great Danes. I currently have 2 pittie mixes and a baby blue heiler. I own a small general contracting company and I’m always out and about. Nothing hurts my heart more to see some pups in need of a walk. I have a fenced yard, but I try to make sure my pups get as much out of the house time as possible. Short walks or long walks just really depends how the pups are feeling that day.


12. Taylor S.

“Taylor was great with Logan and provided a lot of updates and pictures. She made my time away more enjoyable knowing Logan was in such good hands.”


13. Ashley S.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. Being able to provide care is only the tip of the iceberg. I genuinely enjoy connecting with animals and learning about their way of being. I have worked with dogs who have needed to be administered medication, as well as senior cats. I’m currently committed to this line of service, so there should be little issue with showing up and providing care. The work that I do otherwise, is remote and won’t get in the way of my responsibilities. In the past, I have administered oral medication for a small dog that I was pet sitting for. I make sure to be on top of bathroom breaks as well as check-ins. I would visit my aunts house twice a day to check in on her cats and to provide them with fresh food and water.


14. Bernice C.
About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.


15. Kentrice M.

“So thankful for Kentrice taking care of our 6 month old puppy on short notice while we enjoyed a ferry boat trip with our family! FIVE STARS”


16. Pamela L.

“Did a great job with my babys, was very polite. Would book again.”


17. Reagan H.

“Reagan did a fantastic job taking care of Meeko and our house! She sent plenty of updates, and we returned to a spotless house, clean sheets, and a happy healthy dog! We will absolutely use her again!”


18. Jamey H.
“I would recommend Jamey H. as a pet sitter & dog walker. She has had pets since she was a little girl & has volunteered in rescues. She loves all kinds of pets.”


19. Audrey D.
About: I love being able to let animals get plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I have always been an animal lover and would love to look after your animal when needed. I assure you that you can trust me to keep them safe and happy! :) By making sure I set aside time for feeding, walks, and play. I also check on their water and clean up after them regularly. It’s all about creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets! I keep the environment safe and pet-proof, give them plenty of exercise and playtime, and keep an eye on their health. I also provide lots of love and attention to make them feel secure. At a client's home, I follow their instructions closely, maintain the pet's routine, and send regular updates to the owners.


20. Francesca C.

“Francesca is awesome! 5 out of 5 would recommend! Having never used this site or a dog sitter I was a little hesitant to let a stranger stay in my home and take care of my dog Stormy, but after meeting Francesca all my concerns were put to rest. She went above and beyond while taking care of Stormy. Daily updates and pictures made it so much easier to relax knowing my girl was getting lots of love and attention. She even got Stormy to eat all of her food which was HUGE! Every time have left town and had friends check on her she hardly eats anything. Francesca will be my number one choice anytime I plan on leaving town again!”
