Stephanie is amazing! She is very reliable and always comes in with a great attitude. I would trust her with all my pets and she really helped us out when work schedules are crazy and I work late at night.

Amber was an exceptional pet sitter! She arrived early and was consistently punctual, which gave me great peace of mind. She spent lots of quality time with my animals and kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, such a thoughtful touch that made me feel even more at ease. Everything went smoothly with no issues at all, and her easygoing nature made the whole experience stress-free. I’ll absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!

About: I am very used to large dogs since I have two at home. I know how to clean animals ears and clip nails. I also know how to administer oral medication. Im currently going to college to become a veterinarian so im looking for a little gig where i can take care of animals. I also have a part time job but still have plenty of free time to take care of some adorable caring animals. I sadly can not bring pets into my home but will gladly take care of them at yours. Just tell me if there is anything specific for your animal and we’ll take it from there.

Jen and Cameron are just amazing. They take care of our 13 year old pupper and our 14 year old bunnies with such love and kindness. They treat our girls like their own. Thank you, Jen and Cameron, for always going above and beyond. ❤️

Alicia is a wonderful cat-sitter. My cat quickly warmed up to Alicia & we received an update each time Alicia was in the house caring for my cat. I would not hesitate to have Alicia care for my cat again?

Jeff has been excellent! I have always used family for dog sitting and walking, but was in a bind this weekend and decided to give this a try. Jeff came over a day early to meet myself and Otto and spent some time getting to know us and vice versa. He sent pictures and video of his visits. Otto loved him! I will definitely be using Jeff in the future for sitting and walks!

Dyese was great with our cat, Earl. She did daily home visits while we were away, which included feeding him, changing his litter, and keeping him company. Dyese gave us photo updates and detailed summary of her visit each time. It was great knowing he was in good hands.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of them ever since I can remember. I have a wide range of experience ranging from training young puppies to taking care of elderly and sick dogs. I love all animals and would love to hang out with your pup! I am available most weeks for the whole day if needed. I can stay with or occasionally drop by to feed, walk, and hang out with your pet! I ensure that both the pets and the homes are left better than they were when I came. My pets have always been treated with love and kindness, as all pets should be.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and I'm surrounded by them every day. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, rats and more. Every dog I've owned has been personally trained by me, giving me hands-on experience with behavior, structure, and individualized care. I live on a small farm and work from home, so I'm available throughout the day for animal's needs. Caring for horses, dogs, and cats is already a part of my daily routine, making pet care a natural part of my lifestyle. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can provide companionship for social dogs. I'm experienced in safely managing separate spaces if a dog prefers to be alone of is not dog-friendly, ensuring every pet gets plenty of personalized care, attention, and outdoor time.

I can’t say enough about Katharine and how she took care of our kitty. Our little kitty cat became unwell whilst we were away. Katharine swooped into action, taking care of our baby girl, taking her to the emergency vet, staying with her, and then bringing her back home. She needed to take her back to the vet as she didn’t get better and our kitty was admitted. Katharine visited her every day while we were away sent videos and pictures and kept us updated, filling in the gaps from the vet. I could not be more pleased with her attentive care and swift actions, she is a true cat whisperer! Her and my Kitty are friends for life she built a beautiful relationship with her in a time of crisis. I’d highly recommend Katharine any time you need you pet taken care of. 100% reliable, kind, compassionate, empathetic a true animal lover. We 🤍 you!

Fantastic care for unusual animals. Amanda was so diligent with the feeding needs of my turtle. She even volunteered a lettuce leaf as a snack. She took great care of the fish without overfeeding and provided medical care for one of them. Then she very kindly agreed to water my plants. Pictures and videos everyday. Lots of communication. I will absolutely use her again and you should too. If she does this well with a turtle, imagine how great you'll be with your cats and dogs.

About: Throughout almost my whole life I’ve been taking care of a bunch of different types of animals. I took care of a Goat once IN MY APARTMENT. HAHAHA I had her in the balcony with a lot of plants so she could eat. But then we had to let her go as she grew up because there wasn’t a lot of room in the apartment for her. Then I took care of my 4 dogs, Dory, Kylie, Kevin and Max. They were my reason to be. I don’t have them anymore, but I will always remember them in my heart. ❤️‍🩹 I have now a little cutie cat, called Coffey. She’s like my child, I love her with my life. I’m in college right now, so I would like to have this job as a part time. And the only reason I’m taking it as a job is because I need to pay college if not I would have been doing it for free. I like to see what are the needs of the pet first. I like to check if there’s any dietary restrictions, any medication, any allergy or any other personal indication for the pet. And after I have that covered I do whatever the owner allows me to do like playing with them in the yard.

Christine is absolutely incredible! My dogs adore having her stop in while I’m working long days. She plays with them until they’re tired, makes sure they go to the bathroom & get some fresh water plus a treat! Cannot possibly recommend her enough.

About: I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had at least two and sometimes three dogs. We bred corgis and standard poodles and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I also own three cats and take care of an outdoor feral. I'm comfortable medicating dogs, cats, and even reptiles. (I can feed reptiles as well, I'm not worried about bugs :) I currently work from home so I'm free most afternoons and evenings and would love to use some of the spare time I have to take care of dogs and cats. I have experience caring for pets in their home and would be happy to let your dog out in the backyard for playtime or take them on a walk around the block. If you need them crated after, I can do that too.

About: I've always been such a huge animal lover and always took care of my own cats, dogs, guinea pigs and birds. I used to watch my family members pets when they would go away and feed them per special instructions and stayed with them as long as I could so they were never lonely. I work full time now but I make my own schedule! I'll be able to be reliable and work around the needs of anyone's babies! In my clients home I always have respect and take care of not only the pets but the home and property when I'm there always.

I’ve never left my cats with a pet sitter before. To be honest, both of them are a bit of a scaredy-cat. Lol. Jennifer came in every morning and evening, and took care of them wonderfully. Granted one of them never showed her face, lol. But the other one was very bad at hiding. Lol. Jennifer was very professional. Such a great personality too. She did everything I asked of her and went above and beyond too. Would definitely recommend her. She was amazing. Thank you, Jennifer for all you did.
