1. Jennifer P.
“Jen goes out of her way to give my Daisy a great break in her day and helped her train and learn also. They have such a great bond I’m grateful!”
2. Ashley R.
“Ashley is wonderful. She watches my 2 beagles 7 days a week at night. She walks them, makes sure that they go outside and have no accidents in the house. She is fantastic and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dogs. Also helps that she has a background in veterinary because one of my dogs is going through chemo and helps administer meds accordingly. ”
3. Hayley L.
“She was fantastic. Timely visits, very responsive, took lots of pictures. I felt assured that my animals were taken care of. I would hire her again.”
4. Emily R.
“Emily was a great cat sitter: reliable, competent, and on time. She was always able to find my shy elderly cat and pill him every 8 hours. I was always confident that my 3 cats were well cared for. She even anticipated my need for an additional appointment. I would definitely book her in the future.”
5. James P.
“My young corgi can sometimes be a bit of a handful, I was hesitant to leave him, but then we met James. My dog loved him from their first meeting and I never had to worry while knowing he was in James' care. He treats my dog (and horse! he horse/farm sits too!) as his own and I can rest assured knowing my animals are in great hands!”
6. Alex G.
“Alex is the most loving, gentle, and energetic pet-person I have ever met. He truly enjoys caring for and playing with every animal he meets. You will not be disappointed with his attentiveness to your pet’s needs.”
7. Sydney S.
“Sydney was amazing with our cat, Luca. She came to meet him before her visit and it was clear she was a true cat lover. She brought him toys to her visit, opened the windows so he could "chase" birds, and sent us lots of pictures and video so we could see how well he was doing. He had opened the cleaning cabinet while we were gone, so she proactively took measures to keep the cabinet closed and Luca safe. She even gave us some great tips for playing and feeding, as her experience is extensive. I'd recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
8. Jessica H.
“Jessica was amazing with our shy boy. Yogi made a new friend! Highly recommend.”
9. Liv F.
“As a witness to their commitment, love, and responsibility towards their pets, I wholeheartedly recommend Liv to anyone seeking a dedicated and caring individual to look after their beloved animals. She is extremely passionate and caring toward all animals.”
10. Olivia N.
“Olivia is a very responsible, kind and gentle leader. She does a wonderful job with my anxious, 40lb dog! My dog just loves her and I am sure your dog will too!”
11. Erica P.
“Erica has been great! She keeps me updated, has been reliable and gives Luna the attention she needs during her visits. Even with short notice Erica responded quickly and helped make me my life easier. I love the photos she takes and always asks me permission before she gives Luna treats. If you’re in the area I would highly recommend Erica. She’s experienced, reliable and responsible. Everything I’m looking for in a dog sitter/walker/Furend”
12. Emily W.
“Emily took great care of our two German Shepherds while we were away for a night. She was extremely flexible with visit times and gave us diligent notes and photos. It’s so nice to know our dogs are in good care when we’re away.”
13. Brenna G.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am energetic and am able to cater to what pets need. Whether they need to take long walks or just need love and attention. I am currently a college student home for summer break so let cate fits into my daily routine perfectly. I am available almost every day. Ever since I can remember I have been around animals. I have a calm energy that animals seem to be drawn to. I'd describe my personality as patient, trustworthy, reliable and energetic. I am currently studying to be a registered nurse, caring for people or animals is my passion. I will always give 100%. In my free time I enjoy going to the beach, exercising, and spending time with my family and pets. I have had a lab in the past and currently have 3 chihuahuas ages 3 to 12, who I adore. I have experience with animals ranging from dogs, cats, fish, birds, hamsters, rabbits, lizards, goats and chickens. Over the years I have cared for the pets of family and friends as well as volunteering. I like working with animals because they bring me peace and immediately brighten my day.
14. Rachel O.
“Rachel is absolutely wonderful! She has watched my pets many times now and they all love her. I have a lab/American bull dog mix, a cat, a guinea pig, 6 chickens, 2 ducks, a goose, a betta fish, and an army of plants. Rachel is very attentive and responsible. She is very flexible and has stayed over at our house to care for the “farm” when we go away for longer trips but is also great for daily check ins if we travel with our dog. Could not recommend her more highly!”
15. Mackenzie W.
“Mackenzie is very sweet and you can see the passion she has for every pet she meets. She is willing to accommodate to a pet owners needs and care for a pet as of it was her own. She has gone above and beyond my requests to provide for my pet and I appreciate all that she had done for my pet and I.”
16. Sara F.
“Sara was great! My dog Merlin warmed up to her right away. She was on time with her visits, took great care of my pup and even sent pictures while I was away to show me how happy he was. I will definitely use her again and I would highly recommend her!!”
17. Emily P.
“Excellent caretaker for my cats! They were very happy with the attention and play time Emily gave them as well as the feeding and litter box cleaning that goes along with having cats. Would definitely use her again!”
18. Kassandra D.
“Great to work with!”
19. Margo J.
“Margo J. was awesome. She really knows dogs, and has a great fenced back yard for them to run around. She has a busy personal schedule, so schedule ahead of time.”
