“Becca was great! Kept us updated every day and even slept on the couch one night with our baby after our dog got up in the middle of the night needing to potty the night before. Would recommend highly and would use again!”
2. Heather C.
“Heather baby sat my pregnant French bulldog Charolette last week. She gave Charolette exceptional care. She updated me through out my work day letting me know that Charolette was ok and was doing well. That really put my mind at ease .She took her on a very nice walk, made sure she was comfortable throughout the day . When it was time to pick Charolette up, she wasn’t ready to come home yet. lol. I highly recommend Heather for pet sitting. She treats your pets like they are family!! Will be using her again very soon !!!”

4. Yulia N.
“I’m so happy to recommend Yulia as a pet sitter and dog walker! Yul is truly an animal lover and understands them so well. She has a cat named Stacey, and she talks about her like she's her baby you can really tell how much love and care she puts into her relationship with Stacey. This is exactly the kind of attention and affection she’ll give any pet that she takes care off. Yulia is responsible, always available for questions, and provides all the love and care a pet could need. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands pets, makes them feel comfortable, and showers them with affection, Yul is the perfect choice! She’ll take care of there pet just like she does with Stacey – with lots of love and responsibility.”

“Amie was really sweet with both of my dogs, even my high energy pit bull. They looked so happy in the pic she sent when I was away. I have complete trust in her and will definitely be asking her house sit again!”

About: I enjoy taking care of dogs and cats of all sizes. I also am attentive to watering plants, watching out for deliveries, and checking mail. I keep the house neat and orderly just as I would have found it. I also am quiet and would be respectful if there are neighbors. I work remotely full-time, Monday through Friday, which fits well with pet sitting as I would be readily available while I work, and my current hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. I can take breaks frequently to walk pets and do all that is needed. I read instructions carefully left and adhere to all that is needed for each pet. I am glad to ask questions when those arise, and I also at times may take a picture of the pet to send to show how content each pet is and that they are doing well.
