1. Fawn B.


“Just can't say enough good things about Fawn! She treats our pets like they were her own: worrying when their habits are off, and snapping pictures of them snuggling up together. We feel completely at ease when away from home, as long as Fawn is in charge!”


2. Jackie C.

“Jackie was great and we loved having her watch our fur babies! She communicated well and sent daily photos, and we appreciated her care and attention especially during the heatwave! She is very caring and tidy; she did a great job housesitting. We’d love to have her pet-sit in the future.”


3. Amber B.

“Amber is very caring with our pups! And is great with your dogs if they need any special treatment. Highly recommend”


4. Sidney R.

“Sidney is great! My dogs were very spoiled and well-taken care of. Pretty sure my house was cleaner than when I left! She is very communicative and I have already rebooked her.”


5. Sierra L.

“Sierra was wonderful. She sent regular updates, asked questions when she was unsure, and left our home as clean as we left it. Sierra even picked up a large outdoor plant that was knocked over during severe wind. I have already booked her for another pet sitting job next month and would recommend her to anyone!”


6. Landon A.

“Landon is the absolute best dog sitter! Our dog was so happy and at ease. He sent regular updates, photos, and videos. Landon also took our dog on adventures, and he's met and played with Landon's entire family. We will definitely be using him for our dog sitting needs going forward!”


7. Savanna F.

“Very prompt and kept us updated on our pups while we were away! Super sweet!”


8. Jasmin G.
“Jasmin is an amazing cat owner. As an employee at a veterinarian clinic in iowa city, I can confidently say that Jasmin goes beyond a standard cat owner. She not only cares for their physical health by keeping up with their routine check ins but also their mental and emotional health. She’s a worthy candidate.”


9. Haley N.
“Haley has been a pet sitter for me many times, caring for my cat, Sunny! She is kind, compassionate, and communicative, and she always sends pictures to show me how Sunny is doing, which makes being away from home a bit easier. Sunny is very comfortable with Haley too! In fact, she'll run right up to Haley to greet her, and often likes to curl up on Haley's chest. I think this is a testament to how much Haley loves animals and how lovingly she cares for them. Haley is the best!”


10. Sophia M.

“She took good care of my pets and gave me updates and worked to communicate with me on my schedule so her last visit and my return coincided. I would book her again.”


11. Meg T.
“Meg is the best pet sitter out there—she’s attentive to the pets needs, sends adorable updates, and is amenable to bringing in mail and packages for families who are away. She is always our #1 choice for pet care.”


12. Avery D.

“Avery did such a good job with my two, high energy pups when I was on a work trip over the weekend. She also stayed overnight at the house with the dogs and left everything in perfect condition. Would definitely have her back again!”


13. Hanna M.
“Hanna is caring, responsible, and amazing with animals. She treats every pet like her own, showing love, patience, and attention. I would trust her to take care of your pet.”


14. Jeanette R.

“Jaenette was very attentive and asked questions to best support my pet. She was very early and asked questions on how she could best support Phoebe. I really appreciate her being so attentive and definitely would book her again!”


15. Sara M.
“I can’t say enough great things about Sara! From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and thoughtful, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved while I was away. She followed all my instructions to the letter, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and really went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a fantastic time. I could tell that my dog was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


16. Jaxson K.

“Jaxson was great with our dogs, who can be picky about people. They took to him right away because he was very gentle and didn't make hard eye-contact. He took excellent care of the the dogs, who were in great shape when we returned. He even ran with them. He was very responsive to questions and kept us updated us about the dogs. He stayed at the house, which was exactly as we had left it when we returned. I recommend Jaxson highly, especially if you have dogs who need a calm, gentle presence.”


17. Maegan R.
About: I have my own dog at home who I have grown up with. I have also grown up taking care of neighborhood dogs and my uncles dogs who I have taken care of since they were puppies. I have also taken care of many of my neighbors cats and other various pets. I am currently a full time student technically but I have a lot of open times that I would love to come hang out with some pets who just need some extra loving or taking care of. This also helps me have a break from life and focus on just spending quality time with some pets who are fun to be around. I always put the pet first. I make sure I remember times I went over or left and how long I have stayed at a residence so they have enough time outside of kennels or for play time. I want the pets to feel like they can be calm and chill or be crazy and I’ll play with them or walk them when they just need some energy out.


18. Hallie O.
“Hallie is such a caring human to being with and once she is around a dog of any kind her heart melts and all she wants to do is make the pups tag wag as fast as it can! She is such a sweet person and can handled dogs very well of any size and age!”


19. Shelby S.
“It is a pleasure to recommend Shelby as a pet sitter. She has cared for our cat, Buddy Holly, a number of times. He is 12 years old and usually hides when someone visits our home. When Shelby arrives he runs toward her. She is reliable and can be counted on to take care of our beloved pet.”


20. Lauren R.
