“Fantastic experience! Nicole provided wonderful care for my cat. I especially appreciated her expertise in administering medication. Going above and beyond, she even grabbed a delivery from my porch and placed it inside for me. Truly a top-notch and trustworthy sitter!”
“Jocelyn is so professional and timely. She communicates everything and provides wonderful videos, photos and let's me know exactly how the visit went. I can rest assured knowing my baby boy is taken care of until I can get back to him after she stops by.”
“So very thankful to have found Alyson. She is the sweetest, is very knowledgeable about dogs, and is just a pleasure to interact with. Our dog can be apprehensive around new people, but warmed up immediately to Alyson upon meeting. Can’t imagine trusting our dog and our home with anyone else.”
“Heather was awesome from the meet & greet through booking! She was flexible when we modified our booking, checked in prior to, and kept us informed during and after visit. Highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful for and loved having Vickie help with our pups! She was incredibly kind and intuitive when in came to our pups and went above and beyond to help. I highly recommend wonderful Vickie!”
“We are so grateful Kaitlyn could drop in to spend time with our pup today. I had such peace of mind knowing that someone who knows and loves dogs was able to take care of my brand new pup! I really appreciated the detailed note/pictures she gave through Rover after her visit. It made me feel like my puppy was safe, content and happy! Will definitely book again!”
“This is the 3rd time Robert has come to look in on our cats, and he does a great job every time! I would recommend Robert for any of your pet care needs. He’s responsible and communicative.”
“Gwynn was such a wonderful friend to our l(arge) goldendoodle Sully! She gave him so much special attention, great exercise and engaging play. We (and especillay Sully) couldn't be happier! Also she gave great photos and reports of their time spent together, which brightened our day while at work.”
“Nicole is continuing to impress our family with her dedication to dog walking and emotional support. Our energetic 50 lb boxer/pit bull mix (9 years old) is still pretty active. This means that our dog needs an athletic dog walker who is willing to traverse our hilly streets during all seasons or conditions. Also, on the limited instances that we have asked for changes to her schedule she has been very accommodating. Even on weeks when I am home I still keep Nicole on the schedule as I know how much my dog loves to spend time with her. Thanks, Nicole, for all your loving support!”
About: 10 years experience is just how long since I’ve started getting paid to Pet Sit but my experience goes back since a child with our family pets, then my own little family as an adult always included our pets. I have experience with puppies and elderly doggies. I am currently not working so very open and flexible to all days and times. I plan to do Pet sitting/care part-time at first but am hoping it works out to be able to do more on a full-time basis. At this time I am not open to Pet sitting in my home as my apartment is small and I live with my teenage son and his dog lives with us who is territorial.
“Super easy to book with and our kitties had a great time! Would definitely recommend - Anthony was prompt and courteous and really easy to communicate with. Thank you so much!”
“Ashley did great taking care of my cats. She paid attention to the details from our first meeting to remembering them for the drop in visits. Reading and seeing her reports made me smile because I could tell my cats were happy too. I would recommend her services. I’ll definitely reach out to her in the future.”
About: I have been around puppies since I was born! I have 3 small dogs, but I've babysit large and giant breeds. I have experience giving oral and otic medication, handling breeds of all shapes and sizes, and all ages ranging from newborn puppies (I helped raise a litter!) to senior pups!! I love and respect all animals whether they are big or small, fluffy or scaly, and energetic or nervous. If needed, I can also tend to any plants or garden you have as you are away. My availability is all day! The only exception is I may be unavailable for two hours in the morning, 8 am to 10 am, for classes. I am available to stay over, do check ins, or hang for a few hours during the day. I am able to feed, play with, and give medication as needed. I can not only give care for your babies, but also your house and clean up any messes that are made.
“Miss Siobhan was so wonderful. She came by to introduce herself prior to our trip which made me feel so more at ease. My dogs seemed happy when I got home and there were no problems whatsoever. Would definitely recommend. Would definitely use her again!”
