“April was very attentive, open, and communicative while I was away visiting family. I will definitely rebook her to care for my senior kitty.”
2. Madelyn S.
“Madelyn is wonderful! She was very responsive and nice to talk too when coordinating, but more importantly my two boys loved her! My one kitty, Osiris, tends to be very shy around new people and often takes days to warm up, but within the first visit he was comfortable being around her. I've always thought animals have the best radar on people and Madeyln is absolutely amazing!”
3. Emma B.
“Emma was fantastic! She communicated with us and gave us video/pics of both cats. I appreciate that she took the time to hang with our kitties as they do not like to be alone. We’ll definitely use her services again.”

5. Gillian L.
“Gillian has taken care of my dogs and cats on numerous occasions when I need to head out of town. My Shepard a Mona absolutely loves her, she can't wait for Gillain to come through the door when se comes over our house. My little buddy Ringo immediately brings her his ball to play fetch with. She is kind and gentle with my cats as well. They are well cared for with her around, and it's a huge relief to me, because these animals are my life. I would highly recommend Gillian to anyone who may need a sitter or a great person to take your furbaby for a walk.”
6. Erin L.
“Erin was awesome! My cats were well taken care of, fed, watered, played with and litters were cleaned. MY shy Sophie girl usually hides from everyone, and she took the time to find her and sent me a pic to show me she was okay. Highly recommend!”

10. Jamie B.
“Jamie has taking are if my dogs, cats fish and chickens for us while we're away. Jamie came and stayed at our house, to work at keeping the same routinefor our animals. She is trust worthy, I have no worries about the care given to out pets or to our house while we are away. She cleaned up after herself so when we got home, we didn't have any clean up after having a guest stay. I have known Jamie for a long time, she is well educated in animal husbandry . I would recommend her to anyone interested.”
11. Nancy B.
About: I am an outdoor 4 season enthusiast! At home full time with lots of time, energy and love for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Over the years I have owned and cared for many different breeds from Yorkshire terriers, Siberian huskies, Cheasapeake Bay retrievers, Brittany Spaniels, Australian shepherds, golden retrievers, poodles for starters. Ready, willing, able to provide discipline, some training and treats! The environment is a safe, country setting with play area and an enclosed, fenced back yard.. There are no other pets or children in my home. Your dog(s) will be TOP dog and the focus of my care, play and concern. Lots of room for exploring and learning here with a capable, eager handler. I really enjoy meeting new people and their pets. I am a home body and an avid adventure seeker. An active community member and local volunteer for several non profits. Leave NO trace! Be safe out there. Always. There is plenty of room to explore or just snore the day away here. A large fenced in area provides a safe space for several dogs. I can host (2) dogs from the same family.
12. Riley G.
“Riley is wonderful with our animals and they love her! She stayed in our home to care for our 2 dogs so they did not have to be uprooted. When we came home the house was clean and our dogs safe and happy! She even took care of our chickens and came to love them too! Additionally, she sent pictures of my dogs and chickens to me along with updates every day to keep me in the loop! I would definitely recommend her!!”
13. Zanae B.
“Zanae was amazing! She took our dog for 2 long walks and made sure he got plenty of love and attention (and treats). Highly recommend her to anyone traveling and needing dog care.”
14. Kaitlyn J.
About: Grew up with animals including lizards, cats, dogs, birds and horses. Volunteered in animal shelters doing all care of cats and dogs! Love animals :) I volunteer at the shelter, so I work short shifts at odd hours but I am fully available at almost any other time of the day! I have three cats currently who are the most spoiled animals, they get lick mats, vitamins, and all sorts of other fun enrichment. They are also some of the kindest cat you will ever meet! I would extend this love for my cats to your animal offering homemade pumpkin puree treats (if allowed) and plenty of attention and play time!
15. Katie V.
“Katie has assisted me when we babysit my sister's dog for a week while we were in Maine. It was a small beagle mixed breed named Robert. First of all, Katie is very attentive to this darling dog. She fed him each day and took him on walks 2-3 times. She also made sure he had his toys nearby and cuddled each night. Robert already had anxiety by leaving his owner, my sister, but he just loved Katie and slept through the night and was very calm during our time. I would highly recommend Katie for dog sitting because she is very responsible and conscientious and wants only the best for pets.”
16. Jason F.
“Jason did a great job of caring for our kitties, plants, and home! Would recommend!”
17. Alexis V.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Alexis as a pet caregiver. She has a genuine love for animals and is incredibly responsible. I always come home to a happy and well-cared for dog. - John D.”
18. Alexandra D.
“Alex has always been so fun and caring with my 2 yo golden retriever Tillie! She is always up to take Tillie for a walk or an adventure in the woods and can keep up with Tillie's playful nature. Tillie is always excited when she gets to see and play with Alex.”
19. Jaida L.
About: Experience with both senior cats/dogs and young cats and dogs. Currently own a senior dog (medium), but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I currently work as a vet assistant weekends, and sometimes have class during the week. Best thing to do is reach out and see when I am available! I appreciate information about your animals routine (wether they are crated at night, times they usually go out, high enery, low energy, feeding schedule, and other things that will allow me to give the most thorough care I can) so I can properly care for them. Also please give me a heads up about food or toy aggression before hand (it doesn't necessarily mean I'll deny service I just want to be warned so I can be extra cautious)
20. Robert B.
“Robert (Bobby) treats our animals like the family they are. We often tease thee that our home is owned and operated solely for the comfort and convenience of our dogs! He will treat anyones pets as his own, and take exceptional care of them for you!”
