“Cindy was amazing with our pup! I was nervous leaving him with a new person as I have never done so before and she completely eliminated my worries. She sent regular updates on how he was doing with pictures. It helped that she was able to stay at our place too so he could be home where he is most comfortable. Will definitely book her again for future needs and recommend!! 🩵”

“Shannon has taken care of my Aussie numerous times when I was unable to take him out of town with me. She is very kind and patient with him and he loves to be around her. I received pictures and video of their walks and playtime and she kept me well informed on how he was doing. When she stayed at my residence she watered my plants and checked the mail for me too. So glad I have someone I can trust my pet with.”
12. Pam C.
“Pam is just the greatest. She took awesome care of our home (9 acres, pool, etc.) and pups (2 large malamutes) while we were out of the country for two weeks. Normal household issues occurred and she promptly notified us and handled them. She coordinated with contractors. She went the extra mile with our pups and with us, leaving the house very clean and with a few romantic gifts from my boyfriend for my birthday. We could not recommend her more highly and were thrilled to have such a trustworthy and detail-oriented person in charge.”
13. Jeweliana W.
About: I have had animals since I was 6. I currently have two dogs, two cats, and a Guinea pig. My boyfriend and I are our family & friends go-to pet sitters & we will adjust what we provide based on your pets needs. Currently, I am working part-time at my “survival” job while pursuing education in aesthetics! Although my schedule is busy, I am still very willing to be flexible to your needs! I will likely not be taking pets for in-home care due to our house already having enough animals, but if we ever do take animals in-house, we have a fenced in yard, calm neighborhood for walks, and five of our own pets
14. Katherine S.
“Katherine is a wonderful pet-sitter and dog walker. She's attentive and provided regular updates and made sure to follow my directions. My dog can sometimes be difficult around new people, but Katherine took it in stride and provided great care. I'll definitely call on her again whenever I need a pet-sitter.”
15. Hampton S.
“Hampton did a wonderful job watching our 2 mini dachshunds over the weekend! He was great at communicating & took excellent care of them. He was extremely responsive, sent frequent updates & I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with him. I would highly recommend booking with him! We will definitely be reaching out again to have him stay with our pups! Thank you so much Hampton! 😊”

“Brandon Byrne is a living and diligent caretaker of animals. He has a knack for training and keeping a consistent schedule. I highly recommend him.”
19. Dillon H.
“First time letting someone watch my dogs in my own place, and it was a positive experience. Dillon followed directions well, everything seems to be as they were, and my dogs also seem normal. I appreciated the fact he messaged me a couple days before the booking to let me know he was looking forward to meeting us. One of my dogs will bark and growl at new people, and Dillon showed no fear, allowing my dog to warm up sooner than later. I was updated with a photo the next day, reassuring me everything was ok, and was able to enjoy my vacation. Dillon was communicative, friendly, respectful, and neat. Thanks again!”
20. Amanda N.
“I cannot recommend Mandy enough! She took care of my fur baby as if he were her own. Not only did she provide him with great potty breaks and meals, but she also made sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. I loved receiving pictures of my pup having a blast while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, look no further. This sitter is truly top-notch!”
