“Eden was an excellent house sitter/dog sitter! We left our English bulldog with her for a week and couldn't have been more pleased. He had never been left that long with anyone, so we weren't sure how he would behave. Eden made sure he was comfortable with her , followed his usual routine, and he adjusted quickly. She kept us updated with texts and pictures, which I really appreciated. He seemed very happy and content when we returned. Eden took good care of our home, as well as our dog, and we will definitely use her again when the need arises. We highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Ryeleigh did great with our poochies. She had to deal with an elderly, incontinent dog so I am very thankful that she was willing to help him. She communicated often and sent a pic of her walking Oskie. Thanks, Ryeleigh!”
“Kammie was perfect for a big energetic dog like ronan. I've had others watch him in the past and thought he was too aggressive, but Kammie knew how to direct his boxer energy and enjoy his happy and cuddly nature that I know and love. Her primary focus was making sure ronan was a happy puppy and I got plenty of pictures and updates that showed it :) Thank you so much Kammie!”
“Natalia was truly the BEST Rover sitter we could have ever hoped for. From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, thoughtful, and caring — and she treated our home and fur babies like they were her own. We have three dogs and a cat, and every single one of them was so loved and well cared for while we were away. One of our pups ended up having an unexpected flea issue and was super itchy while she was staying with them, and Natalia immediately stepped in and handled everything with so much care and compassion. She bathed all three dogs, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated every step of the way. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. On top of taking amazing care of the animals, she went completely above and beyond with our home. She did laundry, swept, cleaned, remade the bed, and left the house better than we left it. You can genuinely tell she is the kind of person who respects and cares for other people’s space. Natalia is kind, trustworthy, attentive, responsible, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable having her in our home and caring for the members of our family we love most. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone looking for a sitter who will love your pets deeply, communicate wonderfully, and care for your home with incredible respect should book her immediately. She is an absolute gem and we would trust her again in a heartbeat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I couldn't be more pleased with the great job Sam did taking care of my cats for 2 weeks. He went above and beyond what was expected of him to make my cats feel loved and cared for. I highly recommend him and will definitely be hiring him again in the future next time I need a sitter”

Each animal has a place in my heart and I want to treat them with the utmost respect! I spend lots of time giving my animals plenty of affection and playtime! With instructions on your pets schedule and needs I will make sure you and your pet are comfortable and at ease with me, as if they were my own.

About: I've been pet sitting/dog walking for 6 years and I've been working in the animal industry for 9. I have worked in general and emergency medicine, as well as physical rehabilitation. I enjoy working with nervous pups who aren't sure of. I like building a safe and comfortable relationship they a can rely on. I am working part time so I can focus more on my pet sitting / dog walking business. My part time job is work from home so my hours/availability are flexible during the week. I always ensure that whatever harness/collar is being used for a walk is on correctly prior to leaving the house. I also will ask for any tips/tricks to know before going on a walk or watching your pet while you're away to ensure a happy and fun time.

About: As a long-time owner and caretaker for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities (from high-energy dogs to independent cats and even the occasional reptile in between), I understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby with someone else, and that is a responsibility I do not take lightly. I have hands-on experience with everything from everyday routines to more complex medical and behavioral needs, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of situations calmly and confidently. I’m very attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own—and work hard to make sure you feel just as confident and at ease as they do! I work remotely, so thankfully I’m able to fit pet care naturally into my day. I’m around to make sure they’re cared for consistently—whether that’s walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks or anything else they might need. I’m intentional about the bookings I accept and only take on clients when I can provide their pets the level of care and attention they deserve. My goal when caring for your pet while you’re away is always the same—to create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home, while also giving you, their pawrent, complete peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.

Destiny did such a great job caring for my two dogs. She kept me & my wife informed every step of the way with exceptional communication. My dogs are well behaved but have a very busy routine. Destiny went above and beyond to keep them happy and stay on their schedule. We are happy that we have finally found a great long term sitter for our dogs in this area.
Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about Brianna. I had absolute ease-of-mind knowing that my cat was in great hands for the 3 days I was away. She’s extremely friendly and has a wonderful energy, and my cat could definitely pick up on that because she snuggled up to her immediately. Came back to a clean house and a healthy cat. No doubt I’ll be contacting Brianna in the future!
Another great experience with Evelyn! She spent a week with our boy and kept us updated with a summary of the day and pics! I even texted her late at night when our neighborhood FB page said a dog was wandering our street. She responded very quickly with a pic of my boy safe and sound in the house. She is a trusted sitter for us we feel very lucky to have found her!
