We were so nervous to leave our dog Bowie home while we went out of town for 6 days. He has separation anxiety and can be a bit needy! Colleen was a total life saver. She stayed at our house for 5 nights and completely eased all of our nerves. She took great care of Bowie and our 2 cats, sending tons of photos and updates to show us how well they were all doing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! I could tell right from the moment she came to meet the animals that she was going to be great. Colleen is officially our number one choice when we go out of town from point-forward.

Angela and Adam were great with our dog, Rosie! Sent lots of pictures and updates. You could tell by the pictures Rosie really liked them. Will definitely be using them again.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience—she was always on time, incredibly reliable, and went above and beyond every single day. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals and treats every pup like her own. She was attentive, caring, and completely trustworthy, which gave me such peace of mind. My dog adored her, and I could tell he was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, compassionate dog walker—and I’ll definitely be hiring her again!

About: I have been a pet lover since day one! I have had dogs as big as loving labs, as small as cocker spaniels, and rescues in between. Each one had their own personality, character and energy levels but were all loved the same. I do have experience with senior dogs as well who have needed a little extra help to accommodate their day to day needs as they lost their sight, hearing or became less mobile. Every pet deserves love and attention and I look forward to helping meet their needs! I am currently a dental hygiene student with a part time job one night a week. Since my school days are much shorter than the average work day, I have plenty of time to keep your pet company while you are away. I am comfortable walking dogs of any size. Currently I do not do sitting in my own home, but look forward to playing outside if there is a fenced in yard, walks in your neighborhood, and playing with your pups favorite toys.

Darcia went above and beyond my expectations. My dog has separation anxiety so she stayed with him 24-7 he felt comfortable with her right away. Darcia sent pictures and updated me every day. She took my very energetic husky on long walks each day and was very precise about following my instructions. I couldn’t be happier to have found her!

About: I've owned and taken care of pets since I was a child, from dogs, to cats, to rodents. I love ALL animals unconditionally. I currently own a senior Yorkie that I adopted when he was 11 and had lived a lifetime of abuse at a puppy mill. He is very safe and cared for here, and happy to boot 🥰 Your pets will receive just as much love as my pooch! I'm currently home full time, so my availability is full time! I take care of my dog and my roommates' two cats, though of course once they are taken care of I have lots of time to give your pets the same care 😊 If you choose to have your pets stay in my home, you can rest assured that this is a very safe, comfortable home of animal lovers. It's a house with a little fenced in yard, and plenty of room inside to run around with comfort. All pets are allowed on the furniture if that's okay for your pet; I am very lax according to your needs. Whatever is best for your fur baby! There is a small senior Yorkie who follows me around and will not have any issues with your pets. My roommates also have two cats that will most likely just hide the entire time your pet is here 😂 They are not aggressive when they do come out, no worries. They're used to other pets! If I were to come to your home, again, your fur babies will be taken care of as if they were my own 🥰

Alyssa was amazing with my pets. She went above and beyond what was asked. Mini (lab mix) is not a dog that warms up quickly to others and Alyssa didn’t give up on her. I do believe they are finally friends. I will be a repeat client and won’t hesitate to use Alyssa again.

Amanda was the best! She not only pulled through for us when we had a last minute injury and needed our dog to be with someone at our house, she aslo administered and tracked his meds. She stayed in our home and treated it with absolute care. Our dog was the so well taken care of and loved it was extremely obvious by his demeaner. It was a long stay too, we cannot say enough about her being the best in home dog sitter we have ever had. We have had a few bad experiences, can't say enough good about her! She only asked important questions. She is smart and confident and kind and responsible!

Emily is a fantastic pet sitter! She shows a genuine love for animals with her gentle spirit. Emily communicated with me throughout my trip so I knew the pets were doing well and we dealt with minor issues that came up. I was very concerned to use a pet sitter, but had no choice for this trip and Emily put me at ease. She really loved and cared for my pets. I highly recommend Emily!

Hello, I have known Caroline for four years as she is dating my grandson. Caroline has a kind and gentle demeanor and her love for animals is clearly genuine. She has had the experience of working with a breeder having the awesome privilege, as Caroline would agree, to care for Golden Retrievers from the beginning of their pregnancies until their birth. As Caroline would say, "Now the fun begins!" They bring her so much joy and she absolutely loves taking care of all their needs. She also has cared for newborn kittens. She is forever sending me photos of these babies and shares the photos with me and my husband when she comes home from work. Most definitely, Caroline is a responsible and loving, nurturing pet caregiver and I absolutely recommend her for the opportunity to work for you. Thank you .

Rochelle was a fantastic pet sitter for my Lucy girl. I had a last minute request and she was able to help out on short notice. Lucy received plenty of walks and excellent care. I was also kept up to date on how Lucy was doing and received plenty of photos. 10/10 will reach out to Rochelle again.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Tara provided for our beloved dog, Aureo. From the moment she started, it was clear that she not only has a deep love for animals but also a natural ability to connect with them. Aureo can be a bit particular with new people, but Tara won her over almost immediately with her patience and warmth. Tara’s dedication went above and beyond our expectations. She took the time to ensure Aureo got the right amount of exercise, kept her on her regular feeding schedule, and even took note of the small details, like her favorite toys and routines. We could tell that she treated her as if he were her own pet. We felt completely at ease knowing Aureo was in such capable hands. Tara kept us updated with pictures and messages, which reassured us and let us see that Aureo was happy and comfortable. We highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter. She has become an invaluable part of Aureo’s life and ours, and we’re so grateful for everything she’s done.

About: Though a lifelong cat owner, I have taken care of pets for family and friends. Dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, reptiles, etc. You name it, I'll care for it. Currently only working part time, so I've got plenty of hours to devote to your furry family member! I do have some evening commitments on some weekdays, but this is only for a few hours. N/A- I cannot board pets in my apartment. If that changes I will update my available services. I am a cat owner, but have boarded dogs in the past (from terriers to great danes.)
