Emma stayed overnight with our dog and did a great job! She was patient with our unsure dog and kept us updated with photos and a video of them having a good time. She was recommended to us by a coworker and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a kind, reliable pet sitter!

About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I currently work 9-5 Monday through Friday. I can provide morning and afternoon care visits as well as overnight care when needed. Morning visits would be early morning around 7am for breakfast and afternoon visits anywhere from 6-8pm for play time and dinner. Weekends I am available all day. I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut.

Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.

Theresa was fantastic. She is a great communicator. She sent at least two updates with photos each day. I had complete confidence my puppy was in good hands. Most importantly, my puppy was very happy with her. They went on walks and played frequently keeping her happily exercised. When I returned home my puppy greeted me the same way she greats me after a 4-6 absence and was completely herself.

Emma did me a great service and booked an overnight stay with my pup very last minute when my original sitter backed out. Emma took my pup on a drive and took great care of her. She also sent updates and pictures throughout the night while I was at work, which was greatly appreciated! Would book again!

Taryn did a wonderful job staying with my dog Henry. She sent pictures and communicated with me often of which I like. She was very patient with him as he sometimes can bark a little too much. She was caring and left my home tidy which is important to me. I would not hesitate to have her come sit with Henry again.

Abby did a great job taking care of our 2cats and 2 dogs. She really went above and beyond. She left the home in excellent condition, and even washed the sheets and towels! She got our mail and packages for us while we were gone and took out our trash for us. Communication was excellent and we received pics of our fur babies during our trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Jennifer came to dogsit for us for the day. She went above and beyond all our expectations. So communicative, went through all our instructions, and really took the best care of our dogs. They were absolutely spoiled. She even managed to get our very anxious, afraid of the world dog to go out on walks, something we often struggle with. Jennifer was phenomenal! I would highly recommend her and look forward to using her again in the future.

Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!

Jennifer gave great care to our fur baby. Not only did she provide good updates about his behavior and eating habits, we got plenty of those coveted pictures you want! She took equal care of our home, and we plan on using her again in the future.

Kara is awesome! She stayed with my cat while I was overseas for nearly three weeks and, for the first time ever, I returned to a content boy who acted almost like I hadn’t even been gone (usually it takes about a week for him to express his disapproval and get over my absence/return). My cat is very particular on who he likes, but from the first night he was wrapped around her neck and snuggled in as if she were me! I received plenty of photo updates and he received tons of love and snuggles and consistent meals schedules as if I were home. Kara is just the best!

Jayden is a wonderful sitter. For the first time ever, our small dog squeezed through our back gate and took off. We were thousands of miles away and Jayden kept her calm and assured us she would find her. Within 30 minutes our dog was found. Jayden also had to deal with some difficult issues with our special needs dog, and for that we are deeply appreciative.
