1. Aviana T.
“Aviana has been watching my two cats for almost a year and is always communicative, friendly, and reliable. She takes the time to hang out and get to know them better every time and always sends pictures and a note about how they’re doing. I always feel safe leaving them in her care and I can tell from her photos my cats love her as well. Highly recommend!”
2. Kyra T.
“I would recommend Kyra over and over! She does daily visits three times a week with my pup and keeps me updated while she is there. Her pictures are the highlight of my day when I’m at work! I also used her for in-house sitting for a weekend I was away and she was a lifesaver! Literally, when Sully was stung by a bee she called me immediately, took him to the vet, and kept me updated the entire time! She truly loves taking care of animals and in doing so takes care of you!”
3. Emma R.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. I've had a great love of pets since I was little and have been around them my whole life. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can watch your fur babies almost any day of the week with notice. I am available to come to your home to care for your pets and spend time with them and make sure they are cared for.
4. Samantha M.
“Samantha took great care of our Little Cat while we were out of town. Great communication and able to accept our request on short notice.”
5. Hayden c.
“I am delighted to share my experience with Hayden, who took care of my precious furbaby, Bella Blu, while I was away on vacation. During my time away Hayden took the time to send me pictures and frequent updates of Bella Blu on how she was doing. This type of communication gave me a sense of peace and mind and made me still feel connected while I was away. Hayden was very professional and attentive and took the time to understand Bella’s personality and routines. Not only did Hayden feed and walk Bella Blu she took the time to spend quality time and give her extra cuddles. It was very clear to me that Bella felt so loved and comfortable with Hayden and that brought me much relief. When I finally was able to return home to my Bella she was happy and healthy, which for me speaks volumes about the amazing care that was provided. I highly recommend Hayden to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Bella Blu and I look forward to working with her again in the future!”
6. Bailey G.
“Bailey was amazing! She did a great job following our instructions and messaged back updates each day with pics of our kitty girl! Would love to use her services again!”
7. Alysabeth M.
“Aly is a dream pet sitter. She came to meet our cat before the trip to ask thoughtful questions and was patient with our wild kitten. Aly went above and beyond to make us and our pet feel comforted with photos and updates throughout our long trip. Her attention to detail took her care to the next level (sweeping and vacuuming kitty litter messes and engaging in playtime with a variety of cat toys). She was willing to spend extra time in our home with the cat (with our permission, of course) when she knew he had been home alone for a long day. Highly recommend hiring her for house sitting and drop by visits for any length of stay. We will definitely be hiring her again.”
8. Ryn B.
“Keryn was awesome! We went away for a weekend and she took good care of our two cats. I was worried about the fireworks being scary for them and she stayed here and kept them busy so they wouldn’t be afraid. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
9. Miranda W.
“Miss Miranda is GREAT! Our fur babies love her and get so excited when she comes over to sit for them. She plays with them and is very caring. I would recommend Miranda to everyone.”
10. Katelyn C.
“Katelyn is absolutely amazing! She’s watched my cats a couple of times, and has gone above and beyond. One of my cats is diabetic and she gives him his shots on time and sends me cute videos of them interacting with her when I’m gone. I will 100% be using her again and again 🩷 I can’t recommend her enough.”
11. Braelyn K.
“Good response and always love to get pictures and she gave fun comments on our fur babies!”
12. Samantha P.
“I really appreciate Samantha doing drop-in visits with my cat. She was so attentive and sent pictures with every visit. She is punctual and great around my cat.”
13. Kristina L.
“Our cats were very well cared for. Would use again if ever needed. They love animals!!! Thanks.”
14. Patricia L.
“We would definitely use Patricia in the future. Our kitties were well cared for in our absence.”
15. Emily C.
About: I grew up around all animals; turtles and tortoises, dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, you name it. I love all animals and love taking care of them. I work part time 3 days a week, so I always have time to hang out with animals and spend time with them whenever needed. I have 3 cats, all of which are harness-trained and get supervised time outside, as well as a feeding schedule and regular nail trims. I take the care of my own animals seriously, and give that same care to everyone else's animals.
16. Alli K.
“We went out of town for two weeks, and we’re worried about our cats, one of whom is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice a day. We saw Alli’s profile and she had great reviews, and lived close to us. We felt very confident once we met her in person, and having just arrived home from our trip, I can say that she exceeded our expectations. Alli sent us videos, pictures and updates every visit, and I could see how happy the cats were with her visits. They are normally shy around strangers, but they greeted her at the door when she came over and loved her petting and attention. She also watered our plants while she was here. I would highly recommend Alli, and will definitely request her again when we next go out of town.”
17. Zoey C.
“Zoey has grown up with pets all of her life, mostly dogs but also cats. She loves pets and it also very great with them.”
18. Arianna W.
About: Hello! My name is Arianna. I have just over 15 years of experience caring for dogs. I have a fur baby of my own, so I know the stress that is finding a sitter for your little babies. My dog is my world and I would love nothing more than to be able to give that same love to your pups when you need it! I have experience with many different personalities, and needs...From puppies to seniors, I love them all! I do have base access if needed In-Home house sitting includes 8:30/9pm to 8:30/9am unless otherwise discussed. I can do a midday drop in if needed but an additional fee will be applied. I do work full time from home, but with my job I am able to be very flexible. Depending on your needs, I would be able to work my work schedule around that. I wouldn’t have any issues going over before, during, and after work to ensure you pup gets the attention they need. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pups to run around in. I am more than happy to crate you pup, however you will need to provide the crate.
19. Maddison M.
“Maddison is a super caring and authentic person. She has a deep desire to care for all animals and will definitely take amazing care if any dog or cat she is asked to look after. Maddison is extremely trustworthy and should be a top choice when looking for someone to care for a pet. Maddison has watched after my dog on several occasions and always ensures he is well taken care of and has the best time!”
20. Mariella R.
“Mariella is such an animal lover, and it shows in every interaction she has with my dog. She is attentive, caring, and treats him like one of her own.
