1. Craig & Chelsea B.
“We love having Craig take care of our kitties while we’re gone. He is so considerate and is great with the cats. Fixed our cat’s water fountain that stopped working and still came out with 6+ inches of snow.”
2. Jenna C.
“Jenna was super communicative during the lead up to meeting the pups all the way through her multiple visits with them. She was flexible and super helpful with anything the pups needed. We would definitely feel comfortable using her again in the future.”
3. Maricela T.
“We’ve had Maricela watch our cats a number of times now and always feel confident that they will be well looked after. She always makes sure to keep us updated and sends lots of great pictures. We are very thankful for the great care she takes with our pets!”
4. Skylar B.
“Skylar was readily available for drop ins on very short notice. She stopped over to meet our dogs and our family the evening before our booking. Skylar checked in and sent us photos after every stop in. She was super respectful of our home and even won over our standoffish chihuahua! Can’t say enough good things!”

6. Amy M.
“It’s so great knowing someone so nice is there to check in on your babies while you’re away, and Amy is no exception! My cats were well looked after and one of our shy girls even came out to say hello to her, and that speaks numbers! Thank you so much again!! 😊”
7. Naomi W.
“Naomi was wonderful! She took great care of our two dogs and cat and even gave extra care to our older corgi who is moving slow these days. She gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Cant wait to work with you again!”
8. Tarsha & Dexter H.
“Tarsha and Dexter have been very dependable and reliable pet sitters for our dogs on several occasions, including an overnight visit. They are great with special requests (medications, for example) and with pet personalities. Highly recommend.”
9. Elia B.
“Elia took great care of my two standard poodles. She stayed with them in my home and provide them with such good attention. She kept me updated on how they were doing and how they were on the walks. As there are two she did a good job during feeding tims to make sure each dog received their food separately and no scuffles between them I look forward to working with her again soon!”

11. Hayley W.
About: My unique approach lies in understanding cats on an individual level from their quirky preferences to their distinct personalities. With a keen eye for feline nuances and a genuine commitment to creating a stress-free environment, I go beyond routine care. Your cat isn't just a client; they're family, and my personalized attention ensures they feel loved and content in their own whisker approved kingdom. As a committed pet sitter, I tailor my schedule to accommodate the specific needs of the pets under my care. Whether it's daily check-ins, overnight stays, or extended care, I prioritize their well being. I prioritize a pet-friendly environment by ensuring a comfortable and safe space. Regular feeding schedules, engaging playtime, and cozy sleeping areas are incorporated. I'm attentive to their needs, whether it's administering medications, maintaining cleanliness, or providing ample affection. It's about creating a loving home where their well-being is the top priority.
12. Annaliese H.
“Friendly, kitties liked her right off, came in timely manner. She was pleasant and enjoyable when I met her prior to having her feed kitties.”
13. Charlotte C.
“Charlotte was an amazing sitter for my kitty cat! She left detailed descriptions of each visit and took lots of photos so I knew exactly how Jimmy was doing. I didn't have to worry a moment and could enjoy my vacation knowing he was well taken care of and getting the attention my social boy needs!”
14. Mikaela L.
About: Hi my name is Mikaela. My experience with dogs is from working at a Doggy Daycare center. My job was to look after 20 to 30 dogs at a time for multiple hours on end. Ive spent many days playing with the dogs, picking up after their business is done, looking out for concerning behaviors, etc. Rover is my part time job! I am only available Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 12-2pm and 3pm-8pm. For both Drop ins and Dog Walking. Depending on your needs, I can accommodate anything you may request for your dog. Please let me know ahead of time if there is questions or concerns! (I will be sending picture updates of your dogs anyways).
15. Courtney N.
“COURTNEY CAME TO HOUSE SIT AND DOG SIT ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF A MUTUAL FRIEND. SHE CAME TO THE HOUSE TO MEET OUR DOG AND TO SEE THE HOUSE AND HER ACCOMMODATIONS AND THEN AGAIN THE DAY BEFORE WE LEFT TO REVIEW HOUSE DETAILS. WE WERE OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR 4 WEEKS. JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE WE WERE TO RETURN, COURTNEY NOTICED THAT OUR DOG WAS LIMPING. SHE TOOK HIM TO OUR VET WHO TESTED AND PROVIDED MEDS FOR HIM. SHE CONTACTED US THROUGHOUT THIS TIME. WHEN HE SEEMED TO BE WORSE IN THE NIGHT, SHE DROVE HIM 40 MILES TO AN EMERGENCY VET. COURTNEY TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF OUR DEAR PET THROUGH A PAINFUL EPISODE. THE HOUSE WAS LEFT AS WE LEFT IT, CLEAN AND TIDY. IT WAS HARD TO TELL THAT ANYONE HAD BEEN HERE FOR A MONTH AND WE HAVE RECOMMENDED HER TO A NEIGHBOR. WE'D HAVE HER BACK IN A FLASH.”
16. Lena C.
“Lena did a great job looking after my dog. She was prompt and able to accommodate my schedule at the last minute for a meet and greet and my dog instantly loved her. She followed all of the directions I left for her and left the house exactly how she found it! I was reassured knowing my dog was in great hands while I was away. Would recommend!”
17. Kathryn-Emma H.
About: I’ve taken care of plenty of family/friends pets for a few years. We have a 1yr old lab and a 2 yr old cat as well. I love to work with puppies on their sit and stays (or really anything you might want assistance with). I can be sure to keep the training going! Nothing is better than a well trained dog! I currently work Monday-Friday but am happy to do evenings/overnights or even weekends for your favorite loved ones! I can also stay overnight during the week as well and go back after I’m out of work if that is ok with you and your pets schedule!! We have a 1 yr old lab who loves to play and is happy to if your pets allow it! We don’t use a leash on him at home as we live in the woods but if your dog is a runner I will keep them on a leash so we don’t have any issues. We have a run we can hook them on to play outside if they prefer to not be on a leash. Lastly our favorite place to hangout is in our basement because our big guy can run around and be in a safe place!
18. Korissa L.
“Korissa was wonderful with our dog, every time she walks her or stops by to let her out she is so happy to see her. It’s great to give us the extra time we need to get stuff done around the house well our dog can get some much needed energy out!”
19. Rebecca F.
“Becca is one of the most loving people you'll ever meet. Whether or not it's her own animals she'll treat them with more love than you'd expect. If you have a grumpy animal or a friendly one she recognizes boundaries until they accept her. She has turned her own house into a safe haven for wildlife and hand feeds squirrels. She love the creatures of this world like no other. You'd never have to wonder if your pets are in good hands with her. She has the softest kindest heart.”
20. Sadie L.
About: I have experience taking care of many animals! For my family and friends I have taken care of households full of animals in the past. Animals are a passion of mine and I love working with them! I'm currently a college student working part-time in food service and I'm looking for some extra money doing something that is genuinely fulfilling. I love animals in every form and working full time at a animal care facility just hasn't fit into my college schedule yet. I am currently free the ladder half of the week and weekends! I have experience taking care of all sorts of animals and have taken care of animals for long periods in the past. A lot of the animals I have taken care of are super quirky and need some extra attention or problem-solving involved. I personally have 2 dogs, a cat, and two pigeons at the moment! Let me know what your pet needs and I will follow it 100%!
