Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!

Allison recently stayed with Maisie again for 4 days. I say “again” because we are repeat customers of Allison’s. she is such a great dog/housesitter. I know I can travel without worrying about Maisie’s care and without the hassle of taking Maisie someplace else. And the condo is spotless when I return. Thank you Allison!

Christina was able to come through in a pinch for me and Cora! She was so understanding and accommodating. She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.

This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟

She was very professional and courteous and cared for my pups in a very loving way. Making them relaxed and comfortable.

Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.

About: 1 year of professional dog and cat daycare and boarding experience. 2 years of dog and cat fostering including disabled kittens. Current loving home of 2 cats and a dog. I'm currently living at home after high-school and am unemployed. I used to work at a dog and cat daycare and boarding facility, but decided I wanted to make my own schedule. I'm not very social besides with animals so my schedule is open and flexible. I own 2 cats and a dog so I'm unable to board or pet sit at my own house, but I can travel to your house and look after your furry friend in an environment I'm sure they're more comfortable in anyway.

We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.

I know my dogs (especially one in particular) can be kind of a shy guy and she was able to coax him out and by the end of the stay he was sitting in close proximity to her. I’d definitely recommend Lisa and will be using her again!

About: I've only lived with pets for a short time, but really enjoyed taking care of them in that time! I am a behavior analyst with some background in animal behavior, and very much enjoy being around pets! I have lived with and helped care for dogs, cats, rats, and small lizards in the past. I currently work full time, so care will typically occur either in the early mornings, or in the evenings, typically after 5 pm, as well as on weekends. I can also do overnights as well. I will provide services in the pet's home, no travel needed! I follow instructions very well, and will provide a caring and safe environment for your pets, including feeding, walking, and playtime.

Jessica is one of the most intelligent people I know, with an expertise in behavior analysis; I've seen them train animals and humans alike. I've also seen them care for both plants and animals like they were their own children, even when it wasn't necessarily their responsibility to do so. They will be caring and respectful to your pets and to your home. They are also comfortable with less conventional pets like rodents and reptiles, in case you happen to have any small or scaly friends. I would definitely recommend them to care for your pets.
