“Paige is amazing. Not only do my two cats love her, but she went above and beyond in caring for the cats (even washing out the containers we left the wet food in). I highly recommend her services.”
“Karen did a great job with our cat Zorro! She is 18 and so she needs more attention than younger cats. Karen gave us detailed updates every day with pictures, and even brought our packages in from the front porch!”
“Amazing job watching our seven cats! This was the first time we had left them for an extended period of time, and we were very nervous about being away for so long. Meghan went above and beyond to make sure our babies were safe and cared for, and was super responsive to our requests and questions. We know who we’ll be booking for any future trips.”
“100% the best care I could’ve asked for! All of my fur babies were so well taken care of the whole weekend we went away! It was our first time ever leaving our 2 dogs and 3 cats and I will admit I was pretty nervous, Maya gave us nothing but reassurance! She sent so many pictures, kept us updated the whole time, and even made sure everything was kept in place for us. I will definitely keep in contact to use her as a sitter again! If you’re looking for a class act pet sitter, you found your girl!”
“Peyton is amazing and went above and beyond for us while we were away for our first family vacation!! She was on point with communication when we or she had a question regarding the dogs, plus she did cleaning outside when we didn't ask her to. With the 6 dogs she had to watch, 5 out of 6 dogs (5 are my MIL dogs) loved her, except 1 of our dogs, Misty, was very stubborn and guarded she was giving us a play by play on how she kept on barking and 24hrs later Misty warmed up and earned Peyton's respect. We would love to have her again in the near future!! :)”
“Bridgette was absolutely amazing & accommodating for my crazy schedule/situation. She did a great job with my pet in terms of walking, feeding, and giving consistent updates - I will definitely book her again!!”
“Taylor is awesome! Couple days before I traveled, she came to my house to meet me and my cat Zorro and we were talking for couple of hours. She is such a sweetheart During the week Taylor was checking on Zorro, she spoiled him just like I would, with lots of love, treats, cuddles and walks. I am so happy my baby was comfortable with Taylor. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely use her services again.”
“Livana is a sweetheart. It was a pleasure to meet her and our dog Nessie seemed happy and enjoyed her time with Liv. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again soon.”
About: I have had dogs all my life, mostly German Shepards, the one I currently have I was there helping the mom to give birth! She is also very well trained! I know it’s hard to leave them so let me give you peace of mind! I am looking to help those who may be working mornings Monday -Friday. I would be available as early at 7 but no later than 5 I will keep your fury friend company, sending pictures to you to give reassurance and take care of any other needs your pet may have!
“This was our first time having Christina “babysit” our boys. She was amazing and kept us informed of how each visit went. We loved seeing all the pictures she took and could tell Gryff & Coop loved the walks, playtime & back scratches!! We were able to relax and enjoy our short trip knowing they were in great hands? TY so much Christina!!!”
About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.
About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!
“Hollis was very quick to respond and good natured. I feel safe knowing she’s punctual and experienced with my pups! My pups LOVE HER. Even on the first meeting they just loved spending time with her. She takes fun photos and really gets to know the dog!”
“A literal saving grace!!! Had a last minute flight cancellation and needed to find someone ASAP, she responded within 5 minutes and headed right over. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!!!! ♥️”
“Haley has been fantastic dropping in on my dog Cheddar for the last 2 consecutive months! She has been dropping in on cheddar for the last two years on and off when I need someone and will always rebook her! she shows up on time, is respectable of my home, and sends lots of pics and videos during the visit.”
“Elizabeth has communicated promptly to messages! When we come home and find our 4 westies happy and non-stressed we know they got a good loving drop in visit. Thank you Elizabeth! We will see you again! Xoxo”
