1. Wendy D.

“10/10 would recommend. You can tell how much effort she put into her bio and her house setup for pets. She's such a sweetheart very reasonably priced but deserves a good tip. I love how experienced she is with a variety. I love the play places she has setup for the pets. I am excited to hopefully keep coming to her. She even gave us a little goodie bag. It was so cute. I especially enjoyed the updates and pics and Vids. Wendy is wonderful”


2. Alisha F.


“Alisha has been my regular sitter for about 2 months now & I feel very lucky to have found her! My dog, Cooper, is treated like part of the family & is always worn out when he gets home. I feel confident that he is safe & I still get consistent updates on what they’re up to all day. She is one of the best you could find!”

“I cannot say enough about how wonderful this family is to my girl!! This is my first experience with leaving my Golden anywhere but home and they made me feel so comfortable! Sweet, kind kiddos to love on my girl, a knowledgeable, communicative caregiver, a beautiful home, and a large enough backyard for zoomies! It hits every nail on the head! I couldn’t be more thankful to have found such a wonderful family to care for my doggo ❤️”

9. Tom & Christina F.

“It is the first time we have used this service, and we have had the best experience with Tom and Christine, always in contact with us, they made us feel that Cooper was safe with them all the time. Cooper had a lot of fun to the point that the only thing he wanted when he returned was to drink plenty of water and rest. We are very grateful and hope to use his service again and for sure with Tom y Christina. Highly recommended!!!”

13. Mikaela P.
About: I have had all kinds of pets from a young age, have a degree in veterinary technology, and have had several animal care jobs. Safety and communication are always my priorities! I am available full time for pet boarding! I take an occasional dog walking appointment but otherwise I am home 24/7. I have 2 years now of full time pet boarding experience! I have a half acre of fenced in area, and can separate my top and bottom floor of my home if your pet needs their own space! Outside play time is always supervised to ensure safety.


14. Abbey J.

“I truly can't recommend her high enough. She was absolutely wonderful. Friendly, professional, communicative.... She's a wonderful dog trainer and we spent a little time helping me learn a couple of things. I really appreciated that. She was exactly what River and I needed.”


15. Jess D.
“Jess is a great pet sitter. She gave Lady Bird lots of love and attention. She is always responsible and shows up on time. I trusted her to feed and walk Lady Bird plus spend time with her for just a couple days or up to a week.”


16. Stephanie S.
“Stephanie is a lover of all animals big and small and is always great with pets. She is kind, gentle and patient whenever she is caring for our pets and is always sure to give all the necessary care and affection. I definitely recommend her if you're looking for someone to help you with your pet care needs!”


17. Tara D.
“Tara house sat for me, and in the process cared for 2 dogs and 2 cats. One dog was high energy, and the other dog was older with mobility issues (help with getting upstairs). She was able to help with both dogs with no issues. She kept in contact with me throughout my vacation and sent me updates and pictures. I knew all the animals had personal cuddle time. Tara was also very responsible and respectful of my house and property. Would love to work with her again!”


18. Stephanie H.
About: I have had pets all of my life. I love animals. I currently have one dog and two cats but can show your furbaby all of the love and care that you would when you're away. I've had to have sitters for my pets when I've been out of town, and finding good reliable care is challenging and expensive. I can provide updates throughout your vacation in order to keep your mind at ease. I am available for drop-in dog sitting in your home as well as overnight boarding in mine. A meet and greet is required to make sure the dogs get along. Please provide all detailed information about your pet prior to making arrangements such as medications, likes and dislikes and personality to make their stay much more enjoyable. I have experience with disabled/blind animals as well, thanks! I also love cats and am available to check in on your beloved feline! I work from home so I am in my home 95% of the time to give your pet love and attention and take them for walks. I do not have a fenced yard but I don’t let them out without a leash and I don’t leave them in the yard alone, ever.


19. Karie O.
“Karie has sat my dog Dolly many times and I never worry about Dolly as she is well taken care of and always happy girl”


20. Melanie S.
“Melanie is one of the few people I completely trust with my home and fur babies. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats. On top of that the pets trust her as well, even my husbands blue heeler that only likes him trusts Melanie. She has housesat/pet sat for us countless times. Incredibly responsible, kind, good natured and caring. When she is not available we usually end up needing to get 2 people to take her place.”
