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!

Jylesha took great care of my pets and my house. She was quick to respond when a sitter here backed out. After meeting her in person, it was clear she was perfect. She understood our hyper pup and bonded quickly with him.

Nate does a great job with our very active Aussie mix and takes him on lots of walks! We can tell our pup is very happy and had a great time. Bonus: both times he has stayed overnight he has left the house in perfect condition. We’re grateful to have found him!

Stacey and Jeremy stayed with our dog while we were on vacation. Leaving your house and dog to someone else can be a bit stressful, but as soon as I met them my worries went away. While we were gone, they communicated through texts and pictures. This made us all feel better, as it is never easy leaving your dog. After we got home, I could tell my dog had been well cared for. They also took time to make sure our house was clean and ready for our arrival. Overall, we are lucky to have found Stacey and Jeremy. In fact, we have already booked them for our next vacation.

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.

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 fantastic with my GSD-mix, Raina! She was great at following my instructions to the letter while going above and beyond with providing updates and doing the little things for her. On top of that, Courtney is extremely respectful and well-mannered - she left my apartment looking spot less, and left the kindest note complimenting my pup (which means more than any compliment someone could give me). Thank you Courtney!

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.
