5. Nicole M.
“Since 2015, Nicole has been my dedicated and beloved pet sitter, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Her commitment to caring for my Pittie has been truly exceptional, as she possesses a remarkable understanding of their unique personalities, even when they're spirited. Witnessing the incredible progress my dog has made under her watch, I decided to enroll in her training program. Our affection for her has only grown over the years. As my pup enters her golden years, Nicole's compassion and affection for her have deepened, and she consistently shows remarkable patience in her care. Furthermore, Nicole has generously offered numerous overnight stays for my Bella, going the extra mile with pick-ups and drop-offs to accommodate my busy schedule. Undoubtedly, Nicole has enriched both Bella's and my life in a profoundly heartwarming manner, and she even sends pictures without me having to ask! Finding her was one or the most important and best decisions of my life! She's worth every dollar!”

About: I had a yorkie terrier named Demi who grew up alongside me until she passed my final year of high school. I have experience with dogs of all sizes but I also have experience with taking care of a senior pet and accommodating them and their needs, as well as spoiling them a little bit more since they’re in the golden years. I love all animals and will be sure to care for them in the safest manner while still respecting them and loving them! From January-June I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. From July-December I’m remote everyday except for Tuesdays. I’ll be able to work from home and watch your fur babies while you’re away. I am currently a cat owner. I’ll be sure to follow and respect rules of your house but also any routines you’ve already established with your fur baby. My job provides me flexibility so I’ll be able to accommodate bathroom breaks, play time, etc. I’ll be sure to provide your fur baby the best and safest company.

12. Cailah B.

“Cailah was fantastic. There was really nothing more we could have asked of her- she was professional, kind, responsible, punctual, energetic, and personable. She took care of our dog for 1 1/2 weeks while we were traveling by feeding, letting her out and walking her each morning. We got a written report along with pictures each day right after her visit. It was so reassuring for me to wake up each morning (due to the time change where we were) and see the report and pictures and know that not only was our dog okay she was happy! Thank you Cailah!!”


13. Jeneane M.

“Jeneane is a very responsible pet owner and I trust her with my animals anytime I’m out of town or at work and need them checked in on. She’ll treat your animals as if they were her own... in fact they may love the royal treatment so much they may never want to come home lol.”

About: I have taken care of my family’s dog and cats as well as my own. I have three cats and one dog. I love to take care of animals. I take care of my pets every day. I check on my pets at least every couple of hours. I also set aside a couple of hours on my day off to just play with my animals. I treat every pet as though it is your baby. I have a great care for someone’s pet and strive to take care of them according to their needs. I myself do have a kennel and cat carriers to help with transportation and holding.

Both love the time and attention he gives them! Aiden has house sat and been walking dogs for friends and neighbors for many years, and he genuinely cares for his furry clients.
