1. Kristen H.
“I cannot recommend Kristen enough! She has watched my dog, Lady, countless times and always goes above and beyond with her. My husband and I never have to worry about taking trips, because we know she will be well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard, but Kristen has offered to take her on walks, and is such a good companion while we are away. My dog has pretty bad anxiety, and Kristen is such a calming presence to her. She is always fed, walked, and loved on so well anytime we ask Kristen to watch her. I cannot say enough kind things about Kristen and her interaction with Lady.”

3. Ruben C.

“Ruben is PHENOMENAL! We were extremely happy with the EXCEPTIONAL service Ruben provided for our dogs. From the in-home pre-visit to the daily care and great communication he provided… we could not ask for a better person to care for our pets. I can say first hand that I saw from a distance (cameras everywhere 👀) how well Ruben interacted with Sugar and Teddy and provided pictures for each visit. He is truly a dog person and it is reflected in everything he did. I really appreciated the daily feedback on their activities and the messages. This guy is GOLD! If I would give him 10 stars… I would. We will definitely call on Ruben in the future. Thanks Ruben… you are the best!!! T. Baker”

“This was the second time using Mary to pet sit my fur babies while I was out of town. They absolutely love her and I know that they are in good hands with you. Highly recommend!!!”


6. James T.
“As for James, I’ve known him for a few years and he comes across as a very genuine person. He is a loving and respectful human being who has always treated me with kindness and love. He has spent time with my fur baby and he is very gentle with her. I never wondered if she would be in distress because just like he’s shown compassion towards me, he also shows that same compassion towards my fur baby. I couldn’t ask for a more better person to watch my baby than James.”


7. Rebecca B.

“She was Pawtastic! Rebecca was able to check on my babies when my pet sitter got sick and we didn't know who to call. Our cats are odd and even though they wouldn't come out for her she tried to see them. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. We will be using her in the future!!”

About: I have lots of years of experience in pet sitting. I specialize in routines. I can help with training puppies, ensuring they develop good behavior and social skills from a young age. With senior pets I provide the necessary attention and gentle handling that older pets require. I excel in helping kittens by helping them adapt to household routine, using litter boxes properly and developing positive behaviors hoping to meet the needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the best care possible. Creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment makes me a standout choice for pet sitting. I am mostly at home because I am working a part time. I would be mostly available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and some weekends. I will most definitely try to fit you in anytime of course. In my home, I ensure a comfortable and secure environment tailored to each pet's needs. For kitty’s, I provide a safe space filled with stimulating toys, scratch posts, and dedicated time for socialization and litter training. For senior pets, I offer a calm and quiet area with easy access to their necessities, gentle exercise, and attentive care to manage their health and comfort. My routine includes regular feeding, exercise, and plenty of affection and of course treats!! ensuring every pet feels at home and well loved.

17. Elise S.
About: Hello, my name is Elise! Both my grandmother and my mom have been part of the dog sitting business for as long as I can remember. We also have pets of our own, so I have been around animals all of my life. It has genuinely become a passion of mine as I began to help my family from an early age with every pup that has entered into our care, up until now as an adult. This, in turn, came with learning about different dog breeds, their behavior, and body language. With all of that in mind, I can guarantee you that your pet will be in safe hands and well taken care of. You will also receive photos of every interaction so you can see how happy your fur baby is. I am currently working part-time. Thankfully, I have a steady schedule that will allow me to provide time to meet you and your fur baby. I have a lot of backyard space that pets enjoy. My family and I also spend a lot of time outside in our garden, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time. As far as going to a client's home, I'd make sure ask about rover notes and texts regarding instructions while following up with pictures of their pup along with pictures of the finished tasks.


18. Sharonda H.
“ShaRonda would be 1 of the best candidates for a dog sitter. Her passion for dogs & animals all together is beyond loving, caring, & passionate.
