“Taelor is a wonderful sitter for our 3 large and loving pups. She keeps me updated with each visit and sends pictures. She’s so patient, kind, and trustworthy and I know I can trust her while I’m not able to be home with my pups. I highly recommend her and her service!”


3. Erica A.
“Erica was great! We only needed her for two drop in visits since we were out of the home for about 13 hours. She came over a few days before to meet out r pups and see how to take of Bowie (he recently tore his ACL). She sent pictures and wrote report cards for both of her visits. We’ll definitely have her hang out with the kids again ?”

We would recommend her to anyone needing/looking for a sitter!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Paul for anyone in need of pet sitting or dog walking services. Having known Paul for years, I can confidently say that his genuine love and care for animals is unparalleled. He has always gone above and beyond to ensure the safety and happiness of our furry friends. Not only is Paul incredibly attentive and compassionate, he also takes the time to understand each pet's unique needs and create a safe, loving environment for them. I have complete peace of mind knowing that our pets are in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same love and care they receive when you're at home, look no further!”


15. Jordan S.
About: I have had four dogs. I've had a black lab, a beagle, and two cocker spaniels. This past year when I was away at college I volunteered at a animal shelter for three years, there I walked, fed, bathed, and just socialized with the dogs to ensure that they felt loved. I also met with potential adopters to convince them to give a puppy or dog a home. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I only care about what the dogs and the owners want, meaning I will do only what is best for the dog in the owners eyes, not mine because it is not my pet. I don't push them or force the dogs into anything. I make sure I know everything the dogs need or prefer before I meet the dogs. I work 2 part-jobs where the days and times vary. Typically weekends are more available with only a couple hours away at work. The possibilities I could be away at work are between the hours of 8am and 5pm. Currently I am also studying for my board exam so I have a decent amount of time built into my schedule for studying which is very easy to do while sitting. I live in an apartment building and I have one cat in my household currently. When it comes to caring for your pets in your home, I do everything within the owners limits.


16. Tracey C.
“I would highly recommend Tracey for any pet-sitting job you might be considering her for. I’m convinced she’s got some kind of magical ability because my cat—who normally hates everyone—actually loves her! Not to mention my two big dogs, who are absolutely obsessed with her. Tracey has been an absolute lifesaver when my family travels. She’s reliable, always on time, and most importantly, she’s someone I can trust completely with my furry family members. I never have to worry about their well-being when Tracey’s in charge. My dogs get all the exercise and belly rubs, and snuggles they could ever want, and my cat...well, she completely approves too! It’s amazing to come home to my pets who are calm and happy and unstressed because they’ve been at home and so wonderfully cared for. They love getting to spend with Tracey! If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about animals and will give your pets the same love and attention you would, look no further. Tracey is your person!”

19. Yuliia B.

“She is fantastic!! She's patient and very caring. I don't trust too many people, but I completely trust her. She took amazing care of my dog and spent some extra time with her when she was sad. Just an incredible young lady, and I highly recommend her.”
