“Nate is amazing. His reviews speak for themselves — but we are grateful for how clean he left our home and how happy Blue was when we got home. Loved the pictures every day. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to others and hope he can come back and stay again with Blue!”
“Britney was outstanding!! She was extremely communicative sent tons of pictures to us every day. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he felt comfortable with her right away. She also left our home very clean which was extremely appreciated too. Our home and furr babies were clearly well taken care of!”
“This was my first time having Dawn watch my energetic corgi, Cornbread. Dawn did absolutely amazing with her! Cornbread just loves to play and Dawn gave her plenty of attention while I was away and sent plenty of pictures and videos. She kept me updated each day on Cornbread’s health, that she was fine with eating/staying hydrated, and behaving well. She also brought her dog over so Cornbread would have a friend to play with. Lastly she went above and beyond and left a custom sticker of Cornbread from her visit! Would absolutely love to book again with Dawn!”
“Courtney was the most thoughtful and thorough caregiver I’ve ever had. She watched over 2 dogs and 2 cats and was communicative about how each one was doing. She even noted that one of the dogs wasn’t feeling well and helped create a plan to make him feel better. This is the most stress free I’ve been when leaving my animals for a long vacation. I could not recommend her more.”
“Lauryn was amazing! She got to our zekey on time sometimes early! Our zekey loved Lauryn and her belly rubs. She did amazing job feeding our zeke and following his food instructions. We did run out of dry food and she even offered to go buy us some ❤️ we will definitely be booking with Lauryn in the future”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Kaelin did a wonderful job taking care of our house and two dogs for six days while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and seemed to really enjoy her time with the dogs. I recommend her services wholeheartedly!”
“Jylesha is Fantastic with my animals! She loves them, walks my dog, keeps my place so nice and is very responsive communicating and sending pics and vids. My animals love her! Ty Jylesha! ❤️”
“Olivia took such good care of my boys while I was away and sent updates with pictures on every visit!! My two cats had so much fun with her, definitely put my mind at ease while I was gone knowing they were in such good hands!”
“Comfort was a great babysitter. She made sure to always check in when she was taking my dog on walk and how he was doing. Absolutely would book her again to take care of my dog while I’m away!”
About: I have cared for many pets in various neighborhoods of the local area. I provide basic needs and go above and beyond to make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I work full-time and will have time to care for pets in the mornings before work and anfternoons after work. I will still make an effort to ensure your pet sticks to their normal routine as close as possible. I require a meet and greet with the pets in their home (to prevent any territorial issues) before the service for any new clients. My current living situation prevents me from hosting pets in my own home, but I ensure the pet is safe and well taken care of in their home, following the care instructions left by the family.
“Jordan was great and came to the rescue last minute to care for the feral cat and kittens we rescued. He was super thorough and followed through on all of the care requirements. We will definitely reach out to him again! Thanks Jordan!”
“I always feel like my dogs are in good hands with Emma. She takes such good care of them. She’s cared for our dog with stomach issues and is very patient and communicative with us when she’s experiencing issues”
“We reached out to Stacey when we had some last minute plans changed. Stacey went out of her way to do a meet and great as soon as possible. Our two dogs took to her and Jeremy right away and I could tell they would be fine with them. It was great that Stacey could work from our house all day and be there to hang with the dogs, letting them in and out, which is what they were used to when I was home. Stacey and Jeremy coordinated their schedules so Jeremy could stay later on the last day of their booking to help us out. We are glad we found them and have already booked them for another stay.”
“Jimmy was an excellent dog sitter reliable, caring, and great with my dogs. He kept me updated while I was away, and I came home to a happy, well cared for dog and house Highly recommend!”

First time leaving my pup with anyone other than family and I couldn't have chosen better than Autumn. She definitely relieved my anxiety over leaving my anxious dog. Autumn took great care of Sheyna, worked on her anxiety while taking her on walks, and sent me updates and pictures twice a day. She also left the house so clean you could hardly tell she'd been here. Sheyna's made a new friend and I've found an amazing sitter for her.
Elias is AMAZING!!! We have a feral/extremely fearful dog who makes it near impossible to travel because people frighten him so much. Elias followed our instructions for introductions, came to meet him multiple times prior to our leave, and took his time. Elias was so good with him, that he even came up for pets and snuggles, something that doesn't ever happen! We are so grateful to have peace of mind that my dogs will be ok because Elias is there. I highly recommend him!
Dawn was absolutely wonderful. She stayed at my house with my two dogs and cat and took amazing care of them. She sent videos and pictures of each of them throughout the day, was able to give all the medications, and took amazing care of my home. It was great to be able to just relax on my trip and not have to worry about my fur babies and home.
Jordan was more than outstanding. It was the first time in a long time I was able to go on vacation without worrying. Complete transparency on a couple days he knew he’d be out for more than 4 hours, worked with me on a complicated schedule and most of all - PROMPT communication and tons of pics & videos. He went above and BEYOND for my puppy and I was really thankful and impressed by that alone. I would recommend him to anyone and I’m so so grateful I met and was able to trust someone to stay in my home while I was in another country. Thank you Jordan! The animals were clearly so well taken care of and more.
Highly recommend Helena! We have three cats, two of whom require medication for chronic illnesses, and Helena knows exactly how to get them to take their meds. She also gets my female cat to eat all her food, despite the fact that her appetite is waning due to kidney disease. We never worry about leaving our babies in Helena’s care — she’s a pro!
Alison was great! She was so communicative with us. This was our first time leaving our baby with someone else and from the start she just had qualities that made me feel better about doing so. She asked all good questions, was super timely, and overall I was left without any concerns! Thank you Alison for taking such good care of our girl! Our pup is very young right now and can be quite a handful, but Alison seemed to have handled her very well. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Maya was truly the absolute best dog & house sitter! She took amazing care of our dog Layla and home. She was an excellent communicator, sent lots of photos and super sweet. I would trust her for any of your pet sitting needs and would love to hire her again in the future. Thanks for being so awesome!
I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
