This was my first time having Dawn watch my energetic corgi, Cornbread. Dawn did absolutely amazing with her! Cornbread just loves to play and Dawn gave her plenty of attention while I was away and sent plenty of pictures and videos. She kept me updated each day on Cornbread’s health, that she was fine with eating/staying hydrated, and behaving well. She also brought her dog over so Cornbread would have a friend to play with. Lastly she went above and beyond and left a custom sticker of Cornbread from her visit! Would absolutely love to book again with Dawn!

Courtney was the most thoughtful and thorough caregiver I’ve ever had. She watched over 2 dogs and 2 cats and was communicative about how each one was doing. She even noted that one of the dogs wasn’t feeling well and helped create a plan to make him feel better. This is the most stress free I’ve been when leaving my animals for a long vacation. I could not recommend her more.

I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Leslie is wonderful!! She communicated with me throughout the week and put my mind at ease. She’s dependable, always did what she said she would and asked questions to make sure Maggie was well cared for. We were able to enjoy some time away knowing she was at our home taking care of things. Highly recommend.

Stacey and Jeremy stayed with our dog while we were on vacation. Leaving your house and dog to someone else can be a bit stressful, but as soon as I met them my worries went away. While we were gone, they communicated through texts and pictures. This made us all feel better, as it is never easy leaving your dog. After we got home, I could tell my dog had been well cared for. They also took time to make sure our house was clean and ready for our arrival. Overall, we are lucky to have found Stacey and Jeremy. In fact, we have already booked them for our next vacation.

About: I have cared for many pets in various neighborhoods of the local area. I provide basic needs and go above and beyond to make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I work full-time and will have time to care for pets in the mornings before work and anfternoons after work. I will still make an effort to ensure your pet sticks to their normal routine as close as possible. I require a meet and greet with the pets in their home (to prevent any territorial issues) before the service for any new clients. My current living situation prevents me from hosting pets in my own home, but I ensure the pet is safe and well taken care of in their home, following the care instructions left by the family.

About: I’ve helped neighbors with pet sitting and have always loved spending time with animals. I understand how important your pets are, and I’ll give them the same care and attention I’d give my own. I'm a barista at Starbucks and would love to unwind by going on dog walks and pet sitting for neighbors anytime I'm free before or after my working hours! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized during my stay. My goal is to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for in a familiar environment you can trust.

Olivia was wonderful at watching both of my pets while I was out of the country! She sent pictures regularly and kept me updated as to how things were going. If I had any questions, she was incredibly quick to respond. My 4 month old puppy had a great time with her. Puppies are not always easy. I have already recommended my friends to her. Thank you Olivia!

Christa was a wonderful sitter during our trip. She came everyday right on time and was very attentive and communicated very well with anything that was going on. I would hire her again for my next trip. She was very kind and understanding about all of the ebbs and flows of this busy household. My 17 year old cat gave her a run for her money but she handled it beautifully.

Elias is AMAZING!!! We have a feral/extremely fearful dog who makes it near impossible to travel because people frighten him so much. Elias followed our instructions for introductions, came to meet him multiple times prior to our leave, and took his time. Elias was so good with him, that he even came up for pets and snuggles, something that doesn't ever happen! We are so grateful to have peace of mind that my dogs will be ok because Elias is there. I highly recommend him!

I can’t say how grateful I am for Ainsley! They came in to help with a last minute request due to another sitter not working out. Ainsley took such good care of my boys and relieved all my stress of having to find someone else mid sit. The communication was amazing and Ainsley sent so many cute photos of my dogs. I would absolutely rebook with Ainsley in the future for ALL my needs!

Arthur is always timely and diligent with my girls, which can get exhausting as I have two very high energy, large-breed dogs. He does amazing with Mandy's medication administration which is still going through some adjustments as we find the right dosages. He gives them lots of active time and makes sure they're more than cared for and loved while I'm away!
