2. Paula B.


“Paula is my go-to for a while now and am so happy to have found her! I have had to run out of town a couple times now on short notice for sudden family matters and with Paula, the dogs are the one thing I don't have to stress about! I know they are taken care of and happy pups! She has bailed me out a couple of times now and I can't thank her enough! She even left me and the dogs a Christmas card the last time... so thoughtful of her! If you need someone for an upcoming weekend, I highly recommend her!”

11. Cynthia W.
About: Over the past 4 years, I’ve helped take care of a family member’s dog (golden retriever) which included house sitting, daily walks, playing fetch, vet visits and grooming appointments. I recently retired and have lots of free time and a very flexible schedule. I’m looking for a flexible, part-time opportunity where I can enjoys walks with a buddy and cuddles from a fur-baby. I would care for pets in your home as I have 3 cats in my home. My focus would be on your special pets and ensuring I follow your requests for caring for them.


12. Tony F.
“Tony currently has an elderly lab named Abby who has had some recent health issues. Tony has cared for her related to those issues in an impressive manner. He is always looking for ways to keep her as comfortable as possible via vet care, adjustments at home, buying booties after seeing she was dragging a leg and injured paws. He has helped me with my elderly dogs and cats with extreme care and interest in understanding their needs. He rescues frogs from his pool! Very caring, intuitive to the animals needs. He will make sure that he understands what the dog/cat animal needs are, follow instructions accurately. He is reliable, responsible.”


13. Tom L.

“Tom did a great job checking in on my 12 yr old cat. He was easy to communicate with and gave detailed reports on his visits. He came recommend by my regular sitter that wasn't available. It was great to receive the same great service that we were accustomed too!”

16. Emily C.
“Emily has been a family friend and a pet sitter for us for over ten years. She has done everything from a mid-day walk to staying at our home full time for a week. I trust her with both my home and my fur babies. Our dogs love her.”


17. Rhiannon Z.

“Rhiannon was a great sitter for our 2 cats. She was prompt each day of our vacation and provided plenty of updates and followed care instructions perfectly. When she had questions she messaged to ask and our cats seemed really happy with the play time, attention, and care she provided.”


18. Alexander B.

“Alex really came through for me when another sitter dropped out last minute. He's flexible, communicative, and you can tell he really cares about the animals. My little dude wasn't as stressed as he normally is when I come home from a trip. Definitely recommend.”
