“Abigail was fantastic! It’s the first time we’ve left our dog and cat since moving here and we needed to feel really comfortable. Abigail communicated with us often and sent pictures frequently. She also left our place nicer than we left it. So happy to have found Abigail and 100% recommend.”

4. Angel C.
“Angel was amazing- I have never had better. She took on my Zoey in an emergency, when my house/dog sitter for a month while I was out of the country over the holidays became ill and had to abandon my house and dog to receive medical care. She stepped in and took over with compassion, attention and great care to all sorts of details. She bathed, played and snuggled with Zoey, sending pictures every day. When snowstorms hit, she stayed in touch to assure me all was well at the house even though no one was at the house. When I came home, it looked better than when I left and my fur baby was very happy.”
5. Parvathy K.
“Pavarthy was punctual, responsive, and put my mind at ease caring for my pets while I was on vacation. I had a unique situation with caring for some baby chicks that she was also able to help out with along with the dogs, so I appreciated her flexibility. I received pictures and updates every day that I lived receiving.”
6. Emily B.
“Emily did an excellent job caring for my doggos while I was away for the week! Leaving a newly homed 8 month-old pup and an older dog who was unexpectedly put on medication the day before my departure was almost enough for me to cancel the trip all together, but Emily made sure to provide lots of pictures and updates during her stay in the home and put my mind at ease during the trip. She was also very respectful of the house and a pleasure to communicate with. I would highly recommend Emily and look forward to rebooking her for any upcoming dog care needs :)”

“Aloha! I live with David and Sprex and they are both great! David is a fantastic dog guardian and is a man of routine and habit. Our home is tidy and dog friendly, thanks to David.

About: I have experience with all animals - farm animals, aquatic animals, dogs, cats, feral animals too. I love goats and miss my farm. I can't have animals of my own at this time and just looking for a rewarding side hustle. I find healing in the presence of animals. I'm currently available seven days a weeks - flexible and reliable. I recently have been laid off from my regular employer. I am looking for an easygoing rewarding solution. Animals could provide so much more to me than an income. Especially at this time in my life. Transition is hard but Im determined. I ensure safety and routine for your pet. I will do everything I can to ensure they are well cared for and safe in your environment or mine.
12. Amy Catherin E.
“Amy took such great care of our dogs and home while we were out on vacation. We didn't have cell service while we were away, so it was important to us to find someone we could rely on, and we knew after meeting Amy she would be a perfect fit. Our dogs got to enjoy walks and jogs daily, and Amy left us with the sweetest photos of them. She is very communicative, kind, and active which was great for our dogs who are used to getting out a lot. We would absolutely recommend Amy as a dog/house sitter and we hope to have her here again!!”
13. Chloe P.
“Chloe was awesome! We would definitely recommend her as a sitter. The process was simple, straightforward and easy! She followed directions and she sent great pictures and loved 🥰 on our pups. She even gave medication to one of our dogs which was great and part of her service. Thank you Chloe!”
14. Suyeon L.
About: I may not be the best sitter, but I do genuinely care about animals. When I was little, I never got the chance to own a pet, so I just started to help around with taking care of animals, whether that be a dog or a cat, even a fish. I know how to properly take care of animals since I’ve had so much experience and done research myself. I’ve trained puppies and kitties before and understand proportions of food and exercise they need depending on their environment. Even though I am busy, I always make time for pet care. I understand the importance of a pet’s life. They deserve the love and care as much as we do. I always put my job first, especially if it comes to another life. I will ask the client what time they need me to be at their home and need an overnight stay. I ask for specific details of each animals of their necessities and tendencies. Of course, I will respect their home like mine and make sure that the animals have received enough attention.
