“Heather was absolutely amazing! I had to schedule last minute due to work obligations and she was able to accommodate. She took great care of my Ruby girl and sent lots of photos and updates!!!”

“Jazmin is amazing. She had excellent communication before and after visits with my kitty. She took photos and wrote the most detailed and sweet notes after each stay. I knew my kitty was safe in her care which gives me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks so much!”

“Krista was amazing, she went above and beyond! It was my first time using Rover so I was a little worried about how it would go but she helped me through so much. My dog ended up having stomach problems the day she was going to watch him. She was very understanding and accommodating. She made sure he was comfortable and safe which I am very grateful for. She gave me updates on how he was doing and was able to help ease my nerves. She was efficient and communicative. I’m so grateful for her because it was added work on her end to watch over my dog that day. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and was such an amazing person. I will be a returning customer because of my positive experience with Krista.”

“Carolina did a drop in visit for my dog. She is punctual, had courteous communication, and I would trust her to take care of my fur baby again. I also appreciated all the picture updates she sent.”

“Here's a review you can use for your pet sitter: I am grateful for the care my dog and cat received during their time with Elissa. My fur babies were happy and well-cared for, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!"”

“Jovi has cared for our cats for some time now, she is so patient and caring with them. Trying to make our scared older cat comfortable with all attempts. She takes care of not only our cats but our home, and reassuring all our worries with plenty of updates and pictures. Thank you Jovi!”

“Cynthia is a cat whisperer! She knows and loves our babes so much. Their personalities shine brightly around her and we could not think of another person we'd want around with them.”


“Christine was so amazing with our cat Nova! She played with her, fed her, and made sure her water and litter box was taken care of. She even supported with clean up after Nova threw up a little bit from eating too quickly. Nova is usually a little feisty but by the end she warmed up to Christine. Additionally, Christine scheduled a meet & greet with Nova prior to us leaving for the weekend- which was so appreciated as we were able to meet her, let our cat meet her, and provide instructions and directions in person. She is clearly knowledgeable about animals and went above and beyond to ensure Nova was well taken care of. She sent pictures and a little summary after each visit. She was kind, caring, and friendly & we definitely will have her take care of Nova again in the future. Would definitely recommend Christine!”

About: I absolutely love animals. As a kid, I took an immediate interest in knowing just how to communicate, and understand dogs and cats. I even went with a friend to her puppy training course to learn more at age 10. Since then, I've expanded my knowledge and am pretty good at understanding body language. Just like humans, animals need to feel safe and comfortable with a new person. I understand that each animal has their own personality and quirks. Which can mean a different transition period for every pet. I'm a patient and understanding animal lover, I'll make sure to let your pet know that I mean them no harm and they're safe with me. No matter how long that takes. That goes for you too! Especially during this uncertain time. I'm very flexible and I understand this is your and your pet's home. Please rest assured that I will ahear to any requests made regarding health and safety. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I recently moved back to the area and am available for scheduling. I have standing appointments on Mondays and Fridays from 2:30 until 5pm, otherwise I am happy to play with your pups! I make sure to write down all of your pet's specific needs and instructions. I keep a very clean house and make sure that all windows and doors are locked at all times. If there are specific security measures you prefer I.e. (leaving different lights on at night and/or a radio on) I'm happy to oblige. I will never let your pet off leash and will always go by the rules and suggestions you have given me. I will always clean up after your pet! As I've mentioned before, I listen to you about any quirks your pet may have and make sure to work with them.
“Daisy is amazing! It was so nice to find someone like her the first time I was leaving my babies. She took such good care of them, sent me all of the pictures and videos. She will forever be my go to pet sitter!!”

About: Currently own 8 fur babies! I’ve done pet sitting since high school from family and friends. Have experience with big, small, medium dogs, cats and exotics! I'm a part time college student at the moment! I have plenty of free time to check on your pets and take good care of them! My dogs have a big fenced in yard to play in all day and access to water 24/7 with the ability to come inside whenever they want
“Kerri was a wonderful sitter for my 2 kitties! She had great communication from start to finish, showed up on time, left a nice update after each visit and sent me lots of cute photos of my furbabies! I felt confident they were in good hands while I was away. I would definitely hire Kerri again.”

“Danielle did a wonderful job dropping in to care for our puppy, Denali. She was very professional… on time, followed directions & communicated very well. We will use her again!”

About: Having been a pet owner for 13 years, I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge on how to provide consistent and high-quality care. I work full time but my schedule allows me to be flexible! I am available for walks and boarding any day of the week, starting in the early afternoon. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I have designed my home environment to provide a secure sanctuary for dogs of all ages and sizes.

We cannot recommend Sara enough! Taking care of 3 puppies 🐶 is no easy task, but she handled everything so well. She made sure they were fed, cared for, and took the extra time to help our puppies warm up to her and feel comfortable. 🤍🤍 She is trustworthy, communicative, and sent detailed updates with lots of pictures after every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Knowing our puppies were in such caring hands made all the difference. We are so grateful for all the love and attention she gave them! Will most definitely rebook and highly recommend her when needing care for our furbabies! 🐾

Shannon did amazing. She handled my sifting pellet wood litter so well with it being her first time, gave my baby ample amounts of attention and love. Communication was frequent alongside cute pictures of my sweetie. Wish I could book you again. Have fun up north 🖤

Jiselle stepped in for a few weeks while our regular walker was unavailable. She was accommodating to our schedule with Chico and was willing to be flexible with the timing of things due to the hot weather. Definitely going to consider her again for future needs! 😊 Thank you Jiselle!

Vanessa was so patient with Rocky!!! He’s super lazy at times and can be a little hard headed trying to get him to use the bathroom haha but Vanessa provided me with great updates and put my anxiety at ease!! Provided photos and just let me know he was loved while I was gone! Will definitely rebook her in the future when I need someone to watch our pup again :)
