Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!

Colleen took great care of our 3 dogs and the house. We had a meet and greet ahead of time and reviewed the dogs' "personalities" and how a few particulars about their care should be handled. We left all of this in print for her review as well. She sent daily pics of the dogs relaxing or playing and several texts about getting to know them. She had even won our most skeptical/slow to warm dog over before we boarded our flight to leave. Highly recommend!

Linda is the best. She was great with Biggie. She kept up his routine and allowed all of us to rest easy. We received daily updates and pictures and he was mostly snoozing - so we know he was resting easy.

Russ exceeded every expectation. Constant communication, pictures, and play with our three animals. I would trust and hire him any time to watch our animals, stay at our house, and help out with anything we needed. 15/10, if that were possible. He stayed at our house and cared for our 4 month old puppy, our 5 year old terrier, and our 3 year old cat.

Rachel has lots of experience with high maintenance and difficult animals including giving meds. She is over the top patient, calm, and loving, and firm when she needs to be to keep pets safe. Rachel is dependable and resourceful. She has taken great care of our dog, always watchful to maintain her very strict diet. I highly recommend Rachel as a caregiver for your pet!

I trust Deidre with all my dogs big and small, they love her and she treats them all as I want them treated. They're my babies and she shows a great respect for my feelings towards them. She loves to walk and has a great area for them to play and I feel my dogs are very safe with her. Deidre is also an approved foster for the Stover Animal Rescue. Great caregiver!

I couldn’t be happier with Casey. He took great care of my dogs, making sure they were well-fed, walked, and given plenty of attention. Casey sent regular updates, including photos and little notes about their day, which was incredibly comforting. It’s clear Casey genuinely cares for animals and treats them as their own. I’ll definitely be reaching out again and highly recommend!

Nila is a wonderful pet/house sitter who takes exceptional care of my senior animals. I have three dogs each needing special instructions on food, medicine and care needs. My favorite thing I love about Nila is she records each day little details about each animal. For example, feeding times, medicines, and little fun facts:) For me as a pet mom, she also will not shy away from reaching out for further instructions if needed. I'm at peace that my fur babies are in excellent care while I'm away. Most importantly, I trust her coming in and out of my home. I find she is a responsible young lady that is compassionate and knowledgeable about animals.

When Jennifer came over to meet my dogs, it was clear the level of experience she has. She was very tuned into reading and respecting their body language. They instantly loved her. She shared updates and was quick to respond during her stay. She cleaned up after herself, going so far as to strip the bed and get the laundry underway. Thank you for taking care of my 4-legged kiddos!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I cared for small pets like hamsters and guinea pigs, and later, I helped care for our family dog who lived to be over 15 years old. Toward the end of her life, she was blind and deaf, and I was there for her every step of the way, making sure she was as comfortable and loved as possible. I’ve always been around extended family pets, so animals have been a big part of my life. Recently, I had the joy of pet sitting a puppy for three weeks while the owner was out of the country. It was such a rewarding experience! I’d love the opportunity to care for senior dogs, as I know how important it is for them to have gentle, loving care in a peaceful environment. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a cozy home, perfect for dogs who need a calm, comfortable place to stay. As a homeschool mom who works from home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide consistent, dedicated care for pets. My schedule allows me to be home throughout the day, ensuring that your pet receives plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. Whether it’s daily care or longer stays, I’m able to give pets the love and care they deserve without any interruptions to my routine. I care for pets in my home just like they were my own, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. My home is in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for peaceful walks and playtime. I make sure pets feel at ease with plenty of cozy spaces to rest and relax. Safety is my top priority—I keep a close eye on them at all times and make sure they’re secure indoors and outdoors. I also take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s special feeding schedules, medications, or extra attention, so they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my focus, and I’m committed to providing them with a safe, trusting environment during their stay.

About: I have experience with senior dogs requiring medication and special diets. I have experience with caring for dogs of all ages. I love animals and respect each animals personality and adjust accordingly. I understand how much your pet means to you and will be very attentive to them. I have references if needed. I’m employed full time but, very flexible. I absolutely love animals and will treat your fur babies as if they are my own. I have always had a dog in my life and understand they are family members. I have raised 3 yorkies and they lived to be 15,16 and 17 years old. I wanted to be involved with animals and saw this opportunity and would love to help care for these precious little creatures. I have experience working with many animals and have rescued several animals throughout my career as a police officer. I don’t have personal experience with cats, but I’m open to caring for them as well. I would love the opportunity to love on your sweet fur babies. I look forward to hearing from you. I’m currently employed, but I’m pretty flexible on my schedule and can adjust as needed. I would have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies, I have very flexible hours and I am willing to work with your schedule. I will tend to your sweet pet and their needs. I will be consistent with potty breaks, feeding and any needed activity(walking, fetch, tummy rubs) and of course extra love to sooth their anxiety. I can give baths too.

Chantelle was so amazing with my two dogs! She agreed to come meet them prior to the our requested dog sitting date, and they immediately loved her! She was communicative during the time she was taking care of the dogs and she even sent several pictures. I felt completely reassured and secure with her in my home and she left it in fantastic shape. I will DEFINITELY book her services again!
