“Very attentive and went the extra mile for us. I will become a regular.”

“It is hard to leave your pets, but Caitlin makes it a little easier. She truly treats them like her own and they are always excited to see her. I cannot recommend her enough. She is responsible, reliable and a very caring person. 10/10 caregiver.”

“Joey did fantastic with our two dogs on short notice. He was professional, knowledgeable, and able to handle our reactive dog amazingly!”

“Laura is friendly, professional, and patient with our shy dog. We've been very happy with her and will continue to book her for our dog walking needs!”

“I recently hired Caitlin to dog sit for my two furry companions, and I must say she was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I could tell that she had a genuine love and passion for animals. She took the time to get to know my dogs and their individual personalities, ensuring that they were comfortable and well taken care of while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and even went above and beyond by taking them for long walks and playing with them in the backyard. I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my dogs were in good hands. When I returned home, my dogs were happy and well-groomed, a clear indication of the excellent care they received from Caitlin. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter to anyone looking for someone who is responsible, caring, and trustworthy. Thank you, Caitlin, for providing my dogs with such a wonderful experience while I was away.”

About: We live on a huge farm and we are home most of the time. We have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes, but we prefer to board mainly pets under 50 lbs. We have house sitting experience and we have experience with older pets and those needing medical care. As a biologist I am happy to feed, check on, and care for any species as long as you can tell me what they need and prefer. One adult is almost always home at the farm. We have very flexible jobs. We also can work our schedule to suit caring for animals. I personally love training animals and my husband and I both walk dogs as much as possible, a couple miles a day. We are very cuddly with both dogs and cats if that is what the dogs and cats want. We can administer meds. I work full days until 2:30 M-F and my husband teaches and does other work part-time. He can handle drop-ins during the day week. Richard loves to walk and be outside with pets. I have one older dog who is extremely calm and sweet, and two cats. We go for multiple walks each day. While the entire farm is fenced, we also have a smaller dog area that is about 1000 Sq Ft. This is to prevent any mishaps regarding your pet getting lost on the farm. We have room inside for kennels for medium sized dogs. We allow dogs on our furniture.

“I have two larger dogs, one Black Lab Mix (10) and one Mix Hound (3). Anytime I need someone to watch them, I always ask Sam first. She is very kind and caring to both of my dogs and always makes sure that they are well taken care of. Both of my dogs are very comfortable with Sam and her dog Daisy and always get excited and start "dancing" around, wagging their tails and go straight to the front window when I say "Sam and Daisy are coming!" She sticks to their feeding schedule, as well as not giving them table scrapes. She makes sure my older dog gets his meds in the morning and evening. She also lets the dogs go about their normally routine without changing it. If I every have questions about how they are doing, I just ask and she immediately lets me know. She is very good at providing daily updates and pictures throughout her stays with my dogs. I would HIGHLY recommend Sam to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Susan was very prompt and loved Sampson so much. She made multiple visits in a week to care for my dog and did a wonderful job!”

“Caroline works with me at the shelter and has such a hard work ethic. She cared deeply for people, animals and their well being. She also has pet sit for my spoiled kitty and has been very thorough and trustworthy. She kept my place tidy and kept me posted on my girl! I would definitely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a reliable caretaker for their furry friend!🐾💛”

About: I have been watching over and taking care of dogs since I was 12. Every dog I meet, I love! I love walking dogs (yes, I actually enjoy t myself) because I know how happy it makes them. I take care of all animals as if they are my own, and I appreciate all personalities of each individual pet. I understand that every pet has different needs and I keep track of each pet’s specific requirements for their care. In addition to making a dog’s stay with me a safe stay, it is always a fun stay! I play with, walk, run, and love each pet that stays with me because I understand the worries of a pet-owner, as I have been one myself for many years. I hope to meet your pet soon!

“Sarah has taken care of my dog and cats multiple times over the years. She has always treated them as her own giving them lots of love and affection. I also have seen how she has interacted with her own pets over the years. She is a great dog and cat mom!”

“Mackenzie has been amazing! We can’t say enough great things about her. She sends great reports and obviously cares about our pets. Highly highly recommend.”

“Thank you! Sorry to hear she pooped in the crate. She’s never done that unless she had diarrhea. Was it a normal poop or loose? Maybe she needed to poop this morning and I hurried her back inside too soon. I appreciate you walking her and looking after her. I’ll reach out for walks in the future.”

“I have known Cynthia for several years and find her to be a very conscientious and trustworthy individual. Since I have known her, she and her family have owned 3 dogs and a cat. She has loved and cared greatly for each of these pets over the years. If I were looking for a dog sitter or walker I would choose Cynthia in a heartbeat. I am certain she would provide safe, loving care and great customer service for anyone needing these services and your pet would be well taken care of.”

“I have known Ashley for about 5 years now. What first made me fond of her was her love for animals. She has a natural way of relating to pets and loving them like humans. She takes care of her own dog like he is her child and treats other animals the same way. She has pet sit for my two dogs on numerous occasions and they adore her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!! If you want someone who will show up on time, do what you ask, and love your pet as if it were her own, then Ashley is the right pet sitter for you!!!!!”

“Mary has always been great with dogs ever since she was a kid. She had a dog walking business in middle school and was responsible for several dogs several times a week. She also has grown up with dogs since she was in elementary school and now has her own dog, Finn, that she loves and takes wonderful care of. She has even taken care of my husband and I’s crazy dog (a Brittany with TONS of energy and separation anxiety) and done a fabulous job. I’d highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”

I am highly communicative and respond to owners as soon as possible as well as am quick to contact them if any issues arise.

“Amandalyn being an animal lover herself lends to her talents for pet sitting. Amandalyn follows the needs of your pets as described by you as well as what the pet is demonstrating. If the furry family member needs more walks or seems stressed she acts their behavior. My fur family as well as my home are in good hands when Amandalyn is here.”
