1. Sophia R.

“Sophia is an amazing cat sitter! It was such a relief to have detailed updates and pictures of our cats while we were away on vacation! We appreciated meeting Sophia first before collectively agreeing on booking the reservation. Will definitely book with Sophia again. 😊”


2. Elizabeth D.

“Beth took such good care of Lucas while we were away for the weekend. Always very thorough and thoughtful making sure his needs were met. We really appreciate it!”


3. Charlotte P.

“Charlotte has helped us with the pups before and we will continue to use her! She is quick to respond to our requests and takes great care of our two energetic pups.”


4. Anna D.

“Anna exceeded all of our expectations in caring for our two kitties. We have had not so good experiences in the past, and we were therefore very pleased with the care Anna provided. We went away out of state for a five day trip, we came home to everything in perfect order, and most importantly our kitties were happy and clearly well-cared for. We received daily updates which gave us much peace of mind to know our furbabies were ok and happy. We will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her highly to anyone in need of excellent pet care!”


5. Amanda A.

“Amanda was amazing taking care of Nicki over the holidays and played with him without me even asking. She also washed all of the dishes that were used to feed him. Definitely recommend!”


6. Tanya V.

“Tanya was fantastic! She took excellent care of our dog for a week while we were away. I was very nervous as we have a protective dog and we have never used a service before. Tanya went above and beyond and came to my house to meet my dog twice before we went away. She gave us daily updates and even spent extra time at our house when she sensed our dog needed some additional love. I truly feel Tanya treated my dog like one of her own. She gladly fed our hermit crabs too which was a last minute request of ours. I would highly recommend Tanya and will definitely be asking her to watch our dog in the future.”


7. Galen H.

“Galen was an amazing cat sitter! She asked great questions during our meet and greet to really get to know our cats and what they needed, and her daily updates were detailed with lots of sweet pictures. She even managed to get our somewhat shy kitties to come out for pets and playtime! We would highly recommend her!”


8. Abby S.

“Managed to book Abby after a last second cancellation. Very communicative. Based on the numerous pictures Abby was wonderful with Ellie. I'll definitely be reaching out to Abby again for future drop-in visits.”


9. Vanessa A.

“Vanessa is a consummate professional. Even when she doesn't feel well, she will stay in communication and maintain her visits. She is extremely reliable.”


10. Stephanie B.
“My name is Mike and I have been in the dog walking and pet sitting business for almost 15 years. Over the years one of my biggest challenges was finding quality people to hire that I knew I could trust, and that my clients and their pets could trust (both with their pup, and in their home). Stephanie’s a dog mom to a very sweet lab, and I have observed her interacting with as many as 6 dogs at once. She has the right personality, demeanor, and energy to handle pups of various ages and energy levels and is very responsible and alert. Look no further if you’re looking for help with your pup. If I’d hire Stephanie (and I would!), you should too!”




11. Correen (she/her) D.

“Once again Correen was amazing with watching our cats (I think this may be the 6th time now). She even tried to trouble shoot our broken feeder!!!! This is just a great example why even cats need someone to look in on them when you are away. Automatic feeder can and do break!”


12. Christopher M.
“Chris has watched our dog several times. He is a trusted friend with our pet and has taken care of them while we’re away for long and short periods of time. Something I’ve appreciated most of all when Chris takes care of our dog is the frequent updates he’s sends us, and how happy she looks in photos Chris sends us.”




13. Jamie G.

“Jamie has been wonderful every time she has watched my Simba! She takes such good care of him & cleans up after him, and I always feel secure leaving my home in her hands. She is great with communication and my cat loves her. We will definitely be booking her for future pet care!”


14. Joyce A.
“Joyce Alla has taken care of my pets for more than 20 years. She is the only care giver who tends to them as well as I would- constant love, play time, walks, cuddles. She adores animals and when I come home, my pets are as happy as can be. It’s the best feeling to know I have someone like Joyce who is loving, dependable, kind, responsive and trustworthy.”


15. Ash L.

“Louie is part shepherd so it can take him a minute to warm up to someone new. But with Ash’s consistency and great quality of care, he made a new best friend in just a couple days. Now they play fetch and he gets all the love during their visits together! Thanks Ash!!”


16. Tina C.
“Today I had Tina from TLC pet sitting services babysit my dog for the day she done such a wonderful job I was very pleased with the services and I hope to use her Have her watch my dog Chickie is a Chihuahua and I was very pleased with the services and her prices are great the Homestead was fantastic and my dog enjoyed herself tremendously I would recommend her”


17. Sophia G.
“Sophia is a reliable and trustworthy person who genuinely loves and cares for all living things. She especially loves dogs and her dog adorable toy Aussie, Louie! Sophia enjoys spending time outside, exercising and exploring and beach walks with pups. You can trust her to take good care of your family member without concern.”


18. Penfil P.
“Penfil rescued his dog Blake when he was just 2 months old. Penfil has always been great with dogs and is very caring of them and you can tell he truly cares for animals.”


19. Kaitlin D.

“10/10 Kaitlin was so helpful by accepting a last minute booking and sent us lots of cute pictures!”


20. Rachel B.
About: If you’re looking for a last minute walk or night away then look no further! I’m a visiting nurse and have a flexible schedule and would love to hang out with a dog when not working! I love the outdoors and going hiking or just playing catch in the back yard. I love dogs, and have grown up with them all my life. That's why if you hire me I would give your dog the love and attention they deserve because I will treat it like my own! I am very comfortable with all breeds and sizes. Any questions please ask :) I have a flexible schedule so can accommodate your needs as long as I know a little ahead of time! We can discuss more if interested! I value taking great care of your dog. I will treat them like my own! I’m comfortable with them on furniture but if you don’t want that habit I can also make sure I respect those boundaries. Whatever your daily routine is I will replicate so they feel comfortable in my home.
