2. Jade M.

“Jade was wonderful! She followed all of our instructions and made us feel extra comfortable being away from our pup who was experiencing some anxiety!”


3. Kasey B.

“Amazing! I am recommending to people who want their dogs well taken care of. Photos are wonderful when away from your pet and Kasey ensures you get regular updates if you like. I came home to them not realizing I was away.”


4. Angelina T.
“Angelina was an amazing pet sitter to our two dogs and cat. She kept us very updated with pictures and kept them on their normal schedule. She took them for long walks everyday and kept our cat entertained as well. They are always so excited when she comes over! She is always our number one choice for pet sitting and dog walking when we go out of town!”


5. Kayla S.

“The best ever dog sitter.”


6. Zachary B.

7. Lindsey M.
“Lindsey has watched my dogs many times and has always gone above and beyond by sending pictures, walking, playing, and giving my dogs the best time. I trust her with my dogs and recommend her to anyone! She is a huge animal lover and will love your animals as her own.”


8. Haley C.

“Haley was great with our dog Noelle. She provided updates throughout the day of her time with Noelle, and was very communicative and responsive. We would definitely book with Haley again!”


9. Cindy F.

“Cindy is amazing! 100% would recommend her. Cindy was such a lifesaver for us by watching my dog, Tayto, for a night on short notice while we were visiting Vermont. It was the biggest relief and comfort knowing that Tayto was in such good hands with Cindy. She loved and cared for him so well, and I am so grateful. I wish we lived closer so Cindy could always be our dog sitter! Kind, wonderful, and shared lots of great photos. Thank you, Cindy!”


10. Evelyn B.

“It was an absolute joy to have Evelyn dog sit Kayla our 8 year old lab. Kayla was happy when we returned. Our house was impeccable and we have many neighbors that enjoyed meeting Evelyn when she was out walking Kayla. We are looking forward to Eveyln's return to our home in the future. A big thank you to Evelyn for her great care!”


11. Rebecca H.
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was very young. I currently own dogs, cats, a guinea pig, and chickens, and if there are others that need attention, I'm happy to drop in with detailed instructions. I'm a mom and elementary school nurse. I am relatively flexible, mostly on weekends, but happy to work out the details for when you need someone to be with your babies. At this time, my services will be mainly checking in and providing care and attention to pets in your home. I am thorough and conscientious.


12. Morgan W.
“Morgan and Virginia did a great job pet sitting my cat and flock of chickens. Everyone looked happy and I appreciated the daily check ins and communication especially since this was my first time using Morgan’s services after a bad string of pet sitters. Would definitely recommend and use again!”


13. Hannah C.
“Hannah is the best when it comes to taking care of my favorite thing in the world. She follows all guidelines and as a pet parent, we have some outlandish requests such as not too many treats, and a walk that's at least 30 minutes. Hannah was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure things went smoothly. The cold never bothered her and she would take the time to meet your pet before the first outing. She understands the body languages of animals, and my dog suffered from separation anxiety as well as not loving other dogs. Hannah would continue the training I was using and made sure to provide a quality experience for all. I would trust Hannah with my dog's life and know that she is in the best hands.”

15. Alicia B.
About: I've taken care of many different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, pigs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. They've been all different breeds and sizes. I am willing to travel to your home so that your pet can stay in a familiar and safe environment for them. I work full time during the summer but am available throughout the day to stop at the house when needed and am available for overnights. I like to meet with potential clients beforehand so that they can get to know me and that I can also learn more about their pets, house, and typical schedules. This creates a foundation of trust that is important to my business.


16. Jorja L.
“Jorja has watched my dog for me since he was 2 months old, and he is now almost 4. Throughout this time, she has cared for him overnight, walked him, been responsible for feeding him and medicating him, and so on. My dog also has multiple medical complications and she has been able to step up and bring him to the emergency vet when I have been unavailable and provide care for him with these complicated situations. I have always felt most safe with Jorja watching my dog when I can’t, and would recommend her for anyone needing an extra hand!”


17. Logan C.
About: Hi! My name is Logan and I am a 33 year old female. I have house sat for many people over the years - I have experience with older dogs, puppies, a variety of sized dogs, sick and/or injured dogs, walking, electric fences, plus much more. I have experience watching dogs for as little as a day and for as long as a month. I can administer medication, follow training guidelines (if applicable), and most importantly, give the dog(s) all the love and attention while you're away! I'm very active and will play with your dog(s) to their hearts content and do not mind transporting dogs in my car. I also have some experience with service dogs. My schedule is very open and flexible so I can come and go for visits or spend more time with them - whichever is preferred! Please consider me as your next pet sitter! My schedule is very open so if house sitting, I would likely stay, work, etc. from your home (if that is okay) to be around and available for your pets. I can also do drop in visits. While caring for pets in your home, I will follow any rules/guidelines given about the pets in order to create a safe environment for everyone. I also respect and will abide by schedules as much as possible for your pets to ensure minimal disruption in their day to day. If anything of concern were to happen, I will communicate as quickly and effectively as possible.


18. Abagail M.
About: I dog sat for my sisters pit bull who was 17 and her 18 year old dog many times, I enjoy taking them on hikes and taking care of their needs. I am currently unemployed and have lots of time to take care of pups, the deal breaker for most is I don’t have my license but I am willing to walk a bit. I live in a small apartment and have a small yard, If this is a deal breaker I am very willing to go to clients house for best care.


19. Chrishanna W.
“Chrishanna loves to provide treats and cuddle times with pups. She understands that each pup has their own basic commands, tailored to their parent, that are to be followed. She has walked two easy strollers at the same time without issue, and fed 3 dogs with no problems. She truly loves to give any fur baby affection and has a soft heart for all dogs. She is understanding of multiple doggo personalities as she lives with 3, one of which is her own.”


20. Karine B.
“Karine is a wonderful person who loves animals and provides the best care that you could hope for. She is kind and trustworthy and there is nobody that I would trust more with my animals.”
