“Morgan is GREAT!!! My dog Lena is old, uses pads...usually (I mean, it can be a timing thing)...and uses them often. Morgan was so kind to her - changing the pads lots, trying different foods out when she was picky..and letting me relax while away as I could see Lena was with someone kind. I'll totally use her again and for longer trips! :-) I definitely recommend her. She left everything super clean and organized by the way (BONUS!!). YAY MORGAN!!!”
“Alyssa was wonderful!! She was very easy to communicate with and we felt really comfortable leaving our pup with her. We loved all the updates and pictures!”
“Moriah was AMAZING with my two little dogs. She kept me updated, she followed my over protective directions, and kept my mind at ease for my first out of town trip away without my babies. I cannot thank her enough and I will always reach out to her for future bookings. Thank you, Moriah! ❤”
“These guys were fantastic. Great communication and they took great care of our puppy. Thanks again!”
“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”
“Alissa was very good with communicating. I had to cancel last minute, unexpected health issues. She was so understanding. I will contact her for any future appointments!”
“I am so very grateful that Larry was able to stay at our home and take care of our cat and dog over the holidays — with a *very* last-minute booking, no less! Our cat clearly really trusted him (which doesn’t always happen so quickly) and I really appreciated the efforts he took to play with the cat. Larry also went above and beyond in making sure that my very active dog got plenty of exercise. He took her to a variety of dog parks for hours at a time and I think she was living a much better life with Larry than she does with me! :) I got great updates when I was away and the house was clean and welcoming when I returned. I didn’t get to meet Larry (and Betty!) until the end of their stay, which further speaks to their flexibility — their original “meet and greet” was with the pet sitters I had staying at my home right before them. They were so friendly and professional, and had clearly bonded with my pets — I’d certainly recommend them to others. THANK YOU!”
“My dog loves Mark! He is great - very responsive and responsible! Sends me updates and photos and my dog seems to be very happy when Mark stays with him.”
About: Being a long time animal lover, I love spending my time walking and training dogs. I’ve worked at various animal hospitals, doggy daycares, and boarding facilities. I am willing to travel, and it would be a great perk if my 3 year old lab could come play or walk with your pup as well! My schedule is very flexible. I am willing to travel, and am open to schedule changes to work with your needs as well. I can do holidays as well as weekends with a planned notice. All I want is for your pet to feel comfortable and have a great time playing and/or going for a walk. Engaging shy/fearful dogs with toys and treats is always a great way to earn trust.
“Olivia was wonderful with our dog, Winnie! Highly recommend her to take care of your furry friend”
About: I’ve taken care of various dog breeds to help out friends and family for years. I’ve had to follow specific instructions based on behavior and/or medical needs of the animal. I’ve been relied on for potty breaks, meal times, and a little activity. I work full time, however, I’m available for afternoon walks/care during the week. On weekends, I have flexibility with my schedule to include play dates, feedings, etc. I have a small indoor space to enjoy, as well as, a BIG unfenced yard. I prefer to use a leash when outdoors at all times unless I brought them to a fenced in area or are known to stay close to home.
“Peter watched my dog for 4 days and my dog is older and had some issues due to a broken tooth right now and some anxiety. He was very commutative with me and kept me informed of anything that he believed I should know. He sent pictures and videos. I highly recommend Peter. House was also clean upon my return. (Sarah was out of town so wasn’t able to come but I met her at a meet and greet with my dog and she was very friendly. )”
“Anesa is great. She and Dexter got along famously. We appreciate that she took him on a hike and on playdates with other dogs over the weekend. She also gave us periodic photo updates which were greatly appreciated. We'll definitely rebook the next time we need a sitter!”
“Effy is wonderful. She took great care of my meatball including following all medication Instructions. She went above and beyond . I highly recommend and will request Effys services for all my future needs.”
“he's outstanding. very responsible. and in the pictures he sent it was clear our dog and cats were happy and well-cared for.”
“Ric was great. Our dogs loved him and he is just a all around good guy. I would recommend him to anyone unreservably. We will see Ric again one day.”
About: Working with animals of all sizes, from cats and dogs, to horses and more, I have lots of valuable experience! My love and passion for animals since childhood has continued on into college, where I am majoring in Veterinary Technology and Animal Sciences. My classes provide me with further exposure and education on species of all kinds. Being around animals is truly my happy place! Being home from college on break until the last week of January, I am hoping to stay busy and hang out with some furry friends! My schedule and availability will be determined on a first come, first serve basis! I am very thorough with the caretaking of animals, ensuring everything is done safely and as requested by the owners. I will love and care for your pets, just as I would my own!
“Hilda stayed at our house and watched our dog and cat. She was wonderfully professional and as a bonus a wonderful house sitter as we came home to a cleaner house than we left it! I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“I don’t have the easiest of dogs - stranger danger! Kathleen was fantastic! She kept in touch on when I was leaving, how the dogs did, when she was leaving. Put my mind at ease while I was traveling.”
About: I’ve had animals all my life growing up - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, etc and in my adulthood have cared for several animals myself as well (dogs, cats, snakes) I work at an elementary school so work school hours right now (7am-330pm). My car is also currently in a shop being repaired so I will be walking or getting a ride so I prefer to stay close if possible. I am not able to bring the animals to my home as I live in a small apartment with 3 large dogs already, unless they are a caged animal.
