3. Sarah & Amy L.
“Sarah & Amy are great! They helped watch my cats, one of whom needs a daily pill but is extremely difficult and dramatic about it. And yet they were willing to do what it took to make sure he got it! They were communicative and helpful, and even managed to ger my other cat (who is very shy) to come out of her shell by the end for some pets! Definitely would rebook.”

7. Abby G.
“Abby and our mini poodle Ruby hit it off immediately. Abby bonded with her right away. She was quick to absorb the details of Ruby's routine and has done a great job! She is a good communicator, very responsible, and quickly responds to all our requests. She has been to our house a few times now and we will definitely have her back. A sign of a good visit - Ruby was calm and contact after and happy to nap the rest of the afternoon.”

“Stephanie was amazing with precious. She has an amazing energy and precious warmed right up to her. 10 out of 10!!!!! She is the BEST”
12. Jessica O.
“Jessica did a great job dropping in on our puppy while we were at work! We we're so grateful to have peace of mind that our pup was in good hands and getting the care he needed. I highly recommend her!”
13. Rose S.
“Rose assisted me in taking care of my elder cat, Gracie. Gracie is very temperamental and openly hostile to unfamiliar faces, but Rose was careful and cautious with her, making sure not to approach too close while feeding her. Not only that, she was good at cleaning, clearing out the litter box. I would absolutely recommend her to other cat owners for cat sitting.”
14. Danielle V.
“Danielle was great! She has excellent communication and did a great job with my cat, Leo. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
15. Cody & Sara R.
“It is without exaggeration or hyperbole that I can confidently say Cody is a truly phenomenal caregiver. He has been a very close friend of mine for most of our lives and I've witnessed first hand the level of love, commitment, and enrichment he provides to any animal he interacts with. Currently, he and his wife Sara have three rescues that they care for, two cats and a chocolate lab puppy, as well as two snakes, and they've never wanted for anything. Cody's disposition is also one of particularly attentive care. Before getting their cats, dog, and snakes Cody made a concerted effort to research the animals extensively -- proper diet, temperature control, water, humane training, animal psychology, and much more. I can guarantee that any animal in the care of Cody, large or small, high or low maintenance, aggressive or mellow, or anywhere in between will be in the best of hands and have a truly loving time.”
16. Chelsea M.
“Chelsea was great! Super communicative and we could immediately tell she had great experience with puppies and dogs! Hoping to hire her again in near future!”
17. Jessica F.
“Jess is literally the best sitter ever! We have went through countless people and she’s the only one who I have truly felt has cared about my pup as much as I do! She’s amazing with Winnie ( my pup)! She’s flexible, accountable, and always messages updates and timely notice when she cannot come so I can figure out other plans. My dog is probably more excited to see her than me some days, would highly recommend her if she has opening!”
18. Sophia B.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, with having 4 dogs, a cat, and a bird all at the same time. I've dog-sat for my friends in the past many times, whether it be having to stop by or stay at the house for a while. I currently work part time at FYE and I am a college student over at CCRI. My work schedule is different every week but I never work Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I have classes from 1-4 those days. I am free in the mornings on Mondays and Wednesdays before 11, then I go from school to work. I always make sure the pets have everything that they need and that they are happy with everything. I need to know where they are at all times when I am there, and I also would like to know anything that would set them off. If I take them on a walk, I make sure the collar is on tightly with the leash, and I keep the pet on a short leash and clean up after them. I make sure the things that I would bring with me are not toxic or harmful and are out of reach of all pets. Any mess that the pets make I will clean immediately and tell the client, so they will not get hurt on whatever they rip up or break.
