“Hope and her husband were great! I couldn’t ask for a better people to take care of my pup and give me that peace of mind! They took her on a walk, hung out outside, played and relaxed inside and overall just genuinely took care of mine like it was her own! Highly recommend!”
“Sara and Cole were great with my scared little girl. It was the first time she had been away from me. They held her and set up a little place she could escape to if she was needing her own space. I highly recommend them if you are looking for first time sitters!”
“Cathrin was kind enough to watch our puppy we had only had a few weeks. He has tons of energy and is hard to keep up with most days. She provided updates and photos during his stay. We are so grateful for her care of him.”
About: I love animals. I’m patient and will listen to your pets needs I will take care of them as if they were my own<3. I will also love any advice or feedback the owner has to provide. I only live 3 minutes from my apartment I’m off weekends meaning I can check in on your pet at any time of the day while at work And on the weekends I’m home. I know what pets need and the signs they give you when they need to go outside, are hungry, or bored. I will take care of them by listening to there needs and getting to know the owner and what they let me know.
“Had a last minute booking with Carmen since something came up & she was very kind to let us book with her on such short notice. She was very happy with open arms willing to watch our little girl. We keep booking with her because she treats Dolly like her own & is amazing with communication. We have had no issues & she’s become like a 3rd grandmother to Dolly. I can go on & on about Carmen & how amazing she is. Highly recommend booking with her.”
“Daniela is such a greater person with dogs! she took care of my Mia for a week after getting spayed. Even though Mia is not trained, Daniela had the patience and the ability to take care of her. She was there for Mia 24/7 since she needed extra care. I definitely recommend her!”
“Pennie and Selene felt right at home thanks to Jennifer and her family taking such good care of them. She kept me updated throughout the whole four days with pictures. There’s nothing that compares to that sense of comfort knowing your fur babies are taken care of like family. Jennifer and her family gave us that sense of comfort. I highly recommend them!”
“Brianna was so great with our dog, she was very responsive to my messages and sent updates as well. She was very patient with our dog as he struggles with anxiety issues in new places. By the second day he was doing great and was comfortable with pets and sitting on her porch as we returned to pick him up. I would definitely recommend Brianna and we will be contacting her again when we need a dog sitter in the future!”
“Amanda and her husband loved my boy Elvis as if he was their own and he had a wonderful time playing with their dog for the weekend while I was away. I always hate leaving my pets when I travel but knowing he was in such a loving environment took away so much worry. I’ll definitely be having them watch Elvis again. Highly recommend!”
“Kayla was very easy to work with, had a great space for lots of running around and genuinely loved having our pup there. She sent daily pictures of our girl having the time of her life! We would rebook with her for sure!”
About: I have been pet sitting for 15 years and I have been a veterinary technician for 10 years. My family and I love dogs and cats with a passion! I am aware what to look out for trouble wise and will keep you informed I work full time as a veterinary technician however my schedule is repetitive so I can offer the same consistent care as I give to my own pets. I have a completely fenced yard and I do not leave any pets outside unsupervised at any time. I do not restrict pets from being on the furniture unless otherwise instructed and I will care for your pets just as I do my own.
“Madison was so great with our pup and so accommodating to our pickup/drop off times. She made sure Kai was comfortable and her dog Murphy is so sweet and got along with her so well. Would definitely rebook with her again!”
“Lindsey was terrific! She gave frequent updates with pictures. She also has a corgi named Zoe that is extremely cute! We are glad Biscuit has a corgi friend now. Lindsey is also very thoughtful and fed Biscuit throughout his stay, also letting him use Zoe’s crate. I would definitely book again and recommend Lindsey to anyone else looking for boarding services!”
“Norm and Steve were really helpful in caring for my pet while I traveled across country. I really appreciate their accomodations for my last minute needs. I would recommend them to other pawrents in need of pet sitting services. Thank you!”
“Estefania took wonderful care of our two pups, Dulce and Millie, while we were away for several days. She was fantastic with communication and sent us photos and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Dulce and Millie enjoyed their own little vacation! Estefania clearly loves animals, and it showed in the care and attention she gave them. She was also incredibly easy to work with, and her convenient location made drop-off and pick-up a breeze. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely trust her with our babies again. Highly recommend!”
“Bailey K - Very attentive and caring. Kept us informed and send numerous pics of KC playing with her pets. We will rebook with Bailey K when we’re in need of an overnight stay or two! Thanks,”
