1. Terry S.
“Terry was great - very communicative and provided plenty of updates and photos while we were away. She is very thorough in making sure the situation is a good fit before booking and verifying that she has all the information needed to care for your pet. Our dog looked like she was having a great time, and we returned to a clean house and a happy dog. :) Highly recommended and would definitely book again.”
2. Carley T.
“I've had the pleasure of booking Carley twice now, and both times have been fantastic! She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals.”
3. Ashley P.
“Ashley helped me out on relatively short notice with my new rescue when I had to go away for a night. She kept a watchful eye on him and made sure not to keep him from starting any of his naughty habits. She sent lots of pics throughout the night and made me feel better about leaving my guy for a night.”
4. Angelle S.
“Angelle house & hound sat for me for two nights. Knowing my pups are extremely shy with people, she spent the entire time "working with them". Despite themselves they started to warm up to and trust her. She was so sweet and respectful of my home. And her doggie report cards!! I almost did not want to do a review for fear she would get too many new bookings to want to sit my pups if needed! :))”
5. Zoe M.
“Zoe has had pets for as long as I have known her. She's taken excellent care of her cat which has required work than your average cat given the medical history of said cat. She also has had two German shepards for a couple of years and they've been happy and healthy every time I've seen them (a few times a month regularly).”
6. Leo Anthony E.
About: I have lived with a dog in my family for as long as I can remember. I have had three dogs (Cherry and Dutty) and am currently petsitting my sister's dog (Thor) on weekday mornings. Thor used to live with me and my family but my sister has recently moved out. I love being around dogs because they show you so much affection without speaking. I always look forward to taking care of my sister's dog. I walk Thor around my neighborhood so he can get some exercise and lead a long healthy life. My sister went to the vet for a check-up and told her he has lost three pounds since I started walking him more :). I also bathe Thor on a monthly basis. My past dog, Dutty, was a smaller dog but I took care of him with the basics such as walking, baths, etc. I was still in my child/adolescent years when Dutty was around. I also have four guinea pigs with two being male (Coconut and Milo) and the other two being female (Peanut and Peanut Jr.). Peanut Jr. is the daughter of Peanut and Milo. Having four guinea pigs is not easy but it has helped tremendously with taking care of dogs. I would say it has made taking care of dogs much easier! I am currently free for most of the week. If you ask for a schedule that I can't attend to, I will let you know. Opening right now are mornings - 10 AM and 2PM -evenings. Every day on a weekday, my sister drops off Thor in the morning at our house. Usually, Thor has already been taken out before my sister drops her off but I take him out if that isn't the case. He is also fed in the morning. Thor seems to be very picky with his food so I have to mix up wet food with his dry food. After this, I leave Thor with my mother so I can feed my guinea pigs and clean their cage. They are in a locked room that Thor can't access for their safety. I try to give Thor as much attention as he likes to cuddle and also be around someone. Even when he is sleeping, he prefers that someone is in the same room with him. Sometimes, I have to watch my nephew for a bit because my mother babysits him while my brother and sister-in-law are at work. Thor is usually happy being around my nephew so it all works out! I make sure Thor isn't rummaging through garbage and pick up anything on the floor that is toxic. Since Thor sheds constantly, I always have to clean the floor to keep the house tidy. I try to walk Thor every three hours and I also would go to my backyard to play with him so he can get some sun.
7. Ilona Arabelle V.
“Arabelle was a joy to work with! She was meticulous in her planning and knowing what needed to be done for Floki, plus making sure she had all emergency numbers and what to do in case of an emergency. She made sure Floki was was very well cared for while we were away and even brought him a new ball to play with! He was walked, fed on time and played with in our yard with frequent communications so that we could see all of the fun he was having. I would highly recommend Arabelle to anyone that needs overnight care or even daily check ins. She was just what we needed and expected for our fur family and will be using her again for future day trips and longer vacations!”
8. Faith L.
“Once again, Faith gives above and beyond -/ sends photos of the babies, takes meticulous care of medications, leaves house spotless -- she is the best and we'd be lost without her.”
9. Sara M.
“Sara was absolutely incredible. She was communicative, prompt, knowledgeable, and put my mind at ease. My pup is an old girl with ailing health and a picky mind when it comes to food. Sara showed up in the creativity to hook my kid up. On top of that, my flight fell through to the next day- she was flexible, allowing me to focus on other matters. Bless. I will definitely be using Sara again in the future. HIGHLY recommend”
10. Francis E.
“Francis took great care of our two dogs! She stayed at our house as well and kept it clean. She sent lots of pictures and communicated often. Our dogs got lots of cuddles and love.”
11. Kim B.
“Kim was awesome. She had a great attention to detail and asked questions to make sure Abby was well taken care of. She kept in contact while we were away. This was great as we did not worry at all! She also made sure our fish and chickens were cared for as well!!”
12. Julie M.
About: I have so much love and care for animals, and I will treat your fur babies like one of my own. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and giving animals medicine. I am currently unemployed, so my schedule is wide open with plenty of time to be scheduled for pet sitting. I have plenty of availability for your needs. At this time, I am only available to care for your pets in your home, but there I can provide any service you may need.
13. Julia H.
“Julia was a great communicator and took great care of Chloe and our home. The place was spotless and Chloe was very ticketed out from all the attention!!!”
14. Andrea M.
“Andrea was very responsible and had great communication throughout the stay. She made us feel comfortable during the stay by sending us pictures of our two dogs and keeping us updated as needed. We would not hesitate to use Andrea again!”
15. Nina B.
About: I have always loved all animals! I grew up in a house with multiple dogs (specifically goldendoodles, labs, and GSPs) and can’t imagine my day to day life without animal interaction! I have experience with all ages, puppies through senior dogs. Additionally, I have experience with cats (also grew up owning multiple cats)! I am extremely flexible with timing! I can be available early AM and late PM! Also available mid day for a lunch time visit/walk! Weekends are open as well :) I overall understand pets’ needs. With this being said, I am willing to take dogs on long walks (1hr +) or crate if owner preferred!
16. Laurel C.
“She is so caring and loves to play with every animal she sees. She’s so gentle and loving to my dogs, they get soo excited every time she comes to visit me! My furbabies LOVE her.”
17. Nikki I.
“Another get-away in the books and the one thing I did not worry about was my pup. I knew she would be in great hands with Nikki. Nikki even checked to make sure I got in when I forgot to message her on my arrival. Happy pup, clean house, packages brought in: could not ask for anything else.”
18. Susan B.
“Susan was wonderful with my dog Gio. He is a busy, active beagle and he just “loved” her. She took him for walks and he was very happy when I returned. I highly recommend Susan.”
19. Andrea H.
“Andrea was great with our dog and very communicative. We received pictures and updates throughout our trip, and we came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Highly recommended!”
20. Chelsea S.
“Chelsea was excellent. She was in communication at all times and sent pictures of the dogs. Chelsea was punctual and forthcoming with holiday plans. The house was left just like we left it. I would highly recommend Chelsea.”
