Jessica stayed at our home when she watched both our dog and cat. She sent me photos while we were gone and she left the house neat and clean. We would definitely use her again!

Quinn was absolutely amazing with our pups! We had a last minute trip that required someone to stay with our dogs at our house for 7 days and Quinn went over and beyond. She took our dogs to the apartment dog park daily and played with them for hours. Would recommend Quinn to anyone needing a loyal pet sitter who will treat your animals like her own. When we returned she washed all the bed sheets and tidy up the house so we returned to a clean home.

I rarely leave my pets with non-family members, and it was such a relief finding Devin and Kelsey to stay with them for an extended stay. They were more than willing to come over for multiple drop-in visits prior to my trip to spend time with me personally, learn the pets’ routines, and let my dog and cat get to know and enjoy them. They’re kind, responsible people with a definite way with animals and commitment to their care. We communicated daily and the pictures of obviously happy pets were very much appreciated. I fully anticipate having them back for future visits! Thanks so much you two!!

Kiana truly went above and beyond in caring for my pup. She was incredibly patient and made the whole experience stress free, and she was wonderfully accommodating with scheduling, working around my timings without any hassle. My pup was happy and well cared for the entire time, she sent pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend Kiana to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring.

About: I've been dropping in to aid family and friends with their dogs, cats, and other pets since I was in high school, and have been online doing general pet services for the last 3 or so years now. I myself have 3 cats and a snake. I have experience with giving cats eye medication, oral pills, medication mixed with treats/food, and creams. For dogs I've given creams and medication mixed with food/treats. I'm currently doing freelance work so my schedule is pretty flexible. Other than my own pet's schedule, I'm happy to find time for your pet's needs. I always make sure to check in with my clients to ensure they feel comfortable with me in their house. Things like where they're comfortable with me going and doing, where the pet(s) are allow to be, any routines that need to be done, and anything else they'd like to precaution or worry about.

Amiree was an amazing pet sitter for two weeks at our home. Our dog is a bit neurotic (and probably was a bit more than she bargained for) but Amiree was kind and understanding, and tried to keep her routine as close as normal - despite thunderstorms making everything infinitely more difficult. She gave twice daily updates with pictures and left our home exactly as she found it. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an overnight pet sitter.

Allison was absolutely amazing for my dogs, Willie and Clementine! She sent pictures, texts, and let me know how they were doing every day. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them with a sitter, but she went above and beyond for them! I am excited for her to come back and watch them again soon!
