“Emalee was quick to respond, from beginning inquiry to the end of the service. She was sweet and pleasant and easy to deal with. She did everything she agreed to do and even popped in again for us when our trip back got delayed. Our pup loved her and there wasn't a mess to clean when we got back and our pup was happy and well taken care of upon our return. Would use again and would recommend 100%! <3”

“Emma was a pro! A full week of looking out for our four dogs is nothing easy to ask of anyone, but she showed up for them everyday, loving and caring for them like they were her own. Coming home to happy babies gave me so much joy.”
8. Kelsey B.
“Kelsey is wonderful with animals! She truly cares about what she is doing and you can see in her attention to detail. One of my fur babies is on medication and she took the time to throughly learn how to adminster the medicine. Your pets are in good hands with her!”
9. Olivia W.
“Olivia has watched our two beagles many times ! She is kind and caring when it comes to our needy dogs. We get updates and pictures ! She is understanding and responsive when we constantly message her. We know the dogs are in great hands ! She walks them, stays the night with them so they are not alone , and makes sure to give them extra pets and love while we are away. She’s very responsible and timely. She never leaves them on their own for long. The house is always very tidy and neat when we return ! She goes above and beyond with her duties. She takes care of our pool, flowers, mail, etc. I’d certainly recommend Olivia to pet sit ! I’d be happy to answer any questions anyone has in regards to Olivia house and pet sitting.”

“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”

16. Muhammed K.
“I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!”
17. Olivia M.
“Olivia has done great with our dogs and cat! They love seeing her and it’s obvious she loves them! I especially love how she sends us pictures of the animals when she’s with them.”
18. Taylor F.
“Knowing he had a dog he loved more than anything and seeing how he is with my baby girl (American Bully), I’m confident Taylor is the right choice to love and take care of your fur babies! His kind heart and dedicated nature shine through in his care of animals. He will love your pups like his own.”
19. Ashley D.
About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 11-12 years old until I was 16 and then she sadly passed away and we got a new dog and I’ve been taking care of her for 3 years. I also have experience taking care of cats I absolutely love cats. And I have experience taking care of rabbits I currently have one I take care of a rabbit and a large dog all the time. I know both need lots of love and lots of play time and attention I will listen to your pets. When they need to go out, when they need to eat, when they want to play, or cuddle. In my home I will make sure they have food and water and I will make sure they go out every 2 hours or so. If they are a larger dog they can play with my puppy she absolutely loves to play. I will also take them for a walk. At the clients home it will be the same and if I can take their animal to the dog park I will do so and let them play I know they also love playing with other animals and not always just with humans
20. Bailey S.
“Bailey truly has a passion for the care of animals! She showed patience and care to my dog when I used her services. She treated Max as if he was her own dog. Bailey cut Max’s nails and was very gentle with him! She deshedded Max and his fur was so soft, it looked like he just got a trim. Bailey also explained her experience as a veterinarian technician. She has so much knowledge in that field. I highly recommend Bailey for the care of your pets!”
