1. Kelly G.

“Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again”


2. Sara S.

“When our normal dog watcher was unavailable, Sara stepped in and made my wife and I extremely comfortable to trust her with our two dogs on short notice. Even with the short notice, she came out to meet our boys and answered all of our questions regarding our request for house sitting. Sara was so considerate of our two dogs while house sitting. She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.”

5. Sheridan W.
About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.


6. Kristin C.

“From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!”


7. Megan C.

“Megan was great, the dogs were happy as can be when we returned and she sent us pictures of how they were doing.”

11. Danielle M.
“Thank you Danielle! You are our babysitter from now on...we appreciate you taking great care of Bentley, Rex and Bella. It is a wonderful (and relaxing) feeling knowing they get such loving care while they are with you. We will get our next dates set up with you soon! You have an amazing touch with them. Thank you!🐾”


12. Amanda W.
“I met Amanda through her grandmother. We were going on vacation for three weeks and were not able to take my Dolly with us. I have had dogs all my life. Never went anywhere without them. I have not used kennels before. I did not want use a kennel this time. Amanda did a terrific job with Dolly. She sent pictures and texts which I truly loved. She also has a dog named Cooper. They played together like best friends. Cooper even sent home one of his toys with Dolly. I ask Dolly "Where is Cooper's toy?" and she brings it to me very excited. Dolly just loved staying with Amanda. When we got home Amanda brought Dolly over. When Amanda left Dolly followed Amanda to the door like she wanted to go back with her. I would highly recommend Amanda and she will be my dog sitter from now on.”


13. Tori L.
“Tori is awesome! I've had to travel out of town for work several times and I've always been able to rely on her to check on my dog. I have small Shih Tzu so depending on how long I was away she would either do drop ins or host my dog. She always notified me when she was dropping in to check on my dog. Always pleasant and playful with my little Shih Tzu. Well put together girl!”
