1. Caitlin H.

“Caitlin was amazing! It was obvious that Ollie and Daisy loved her. She was very accommodating and took care of our pups with love and kindness. I would ask Caitlin to watch Ollie and Daisy again in a heartbeat! Thank you Caitlin!!”


2. Maggie T.

“Maggie was excellent! She communicated with updates and took lots of pictures. You could tell my dogs certainly felt loved and cared for. Highly recommend.”


3. Alyssa M.

“Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!”


4. Katara M.
“Katara was my cat sitter for Stella. Stella didn't like anyone but she loved Katara. Whenever we went away for more than a day, Katara would come to my house and stay with Stella. Stella would get a little upset if she saw a suitcase, but when we told her that Katara was coming to stary with her, she would no longer be upset. I would highly recommend Katara for pet sitting. She is always so kind to animals and takes very good care of them. So much so that I have recommended her to several friends who have also used her.”


5. Sally A.

“This was our second time booking Sally to care for our one year old corgi and six hens. We were at ease our entire vacation because we knew how well they were all being cared for. Sally took our corgi on daily, multiple walks. Sally took excellent care of the hens and kept their coop nice and clean. All of our animals were well cared for, safe and attended to. We will be booking again and we so appreciate her!”


6. Alannah K.

“Alannah was great with Cornelius! She was prompt in her response on availability and coming to meet us. She projects a calm and natural energy with dogs! Cornelius loved her and so did we and we will not hesitate to book her again!!💕”

8. Keri H.


“Keri is THE BEST!! Our dog is a bit shy around humans and it was honestly stunning how quickly they became friends. Not only was Keri extremely responsive when we were setting up this last minute booking, but she kept us updated regularly throughout our entire trip. It was clear that she showed him so much love, taking him on adventures and cuddling with him. We could tell Keri really understood his unique personality and she made our trip completely worry-free. When we got back, our house was even better off than it was before. If I could give 100 stars, I would!!”

About: I have had two dogs my entire life and am constantly walking, feeding and caring for them. When I was 12 I started pet siting for friends and neighbors, and I have experience with all sorts of animals. I am currently a senior in high school. I love to spend time with pets and to make a little money on the side to save up for college. I have a large fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. I also have dogs that your dog could play with, and all the toys and leashes that come with them.

15. Alisson N.
About: Throughout my life I have had many pets and two years ago I started a pet care service in my home country. I am used to being with pets and taking care of them. I work from Tuesday to Saturday, I have availability on my days off and some afternoons after work. I can move my schedules if I need to. I offer pet care services in the pet owner's home. This way, it is much easier for the pet to be in its own environment and adapt to me.


16. Makayla F.
“I met Makayla when she worked at the kennel that I brought my dog to. I knew right away that she was great with dogs. When my dog was getting too old to go the kennel which he loved so much, I hired Makayla to stay at my house with him while we were away. She was just terrific with him, I knew that he was in the best hands with her taking care of him. He is unfortunately no longer with us but if we ever get another dog, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Makayla again.”

19. Michael T.
About: I have care and experience with dog`s for more than 20 years. From puppies to adult and elderly. From Chihuahuas to Great Danes. Training Puppies from indoors to out doors potty training and pee pads is a + ... I recommend my own pee pads for training purposes! I own only 1 dog presently. A Chihuahua, Blue Tic Hound breed. Weighing in at 5.8lbs. She is now 19 years young. Gets along great with cats & other dogs. I am retired, so no worries about time, just scheduling. First come first served, so to speak. I will not turn down a client or pet/animal owner unless the animal is a potential threat to my well being and health. I have experience administering medications to needed pets/animals and care of feeding, washing (shower/bath care) and walks. Play time is essential, especially for young to middle aged pets because of the energy they posses. There is nothing more happier than a tired dog to sleep happy dreams from exertive play time or a cat playing laser tag and cat and mouse games. : )
