Colene was fabulous! She helped ease my anxiety for leaving our pup with a stranger as we were in town for a concert this weekend. She loved our boy - if you use her, you won’t be disappointed

Emily was fantastic. We had her stay at our house with our dog while we were away. She was so good to our baby boy. We really feel like she made him a priority. We forgot to tell her so many things about the house (like how to use the tv and thermostat) and she never complained. She was really great with sending pictures and updates of our little guy too. You can tell she really loves dogs. She really made us feel really good about leaving him with someone new (he's not great with new people).

Our year and 1/2, 170 mastiff absolutely loves Michaela! And I know this because he hasn't stopped looking for her since we got back. She attended to every detail and more. Also she stayed with him at night! It's great knowing our baby has a competent and loving sitter for future needs!

MacKenzie was great, staying the night with our dog Maizie and cat Woody. We had to cut our trip short and she was very understanding. You can tell she loves animals and that's the #1 thing we would look for.

Cherokee was extremely communicative and easy to work with. One of my special needs dogs was having a bad night and refused to interact. Cherokee kept me aware of the situation and was even able to eventually coax Astrid out with what must have been extreme patience. My other dogs were tired out and we came home to a neat place with no accidents.

I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!

He was great sitter for our dog and cat. The cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved all the extra attention, while our dog — who is usually shy around new people — warmed up almost immediately. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They followed all feeding instructions, kept everything tidy, and treated our pets like family.

We could not be more thankful for Jessica. Our dog, Chloe, is quite a lot to put up with when she meets someone new, and Jessica handled all of her behavior like an absolute champion. Jessica is calm, collected, and you can tell really cares about your dog. She pushed through the difficult moments of getting to know Chloe and helped us so much with introduction ideas and how to help Chloe's stranger-danger behavior. Her and Chloe are now besties! Jessica was very professional, took care of our house wonderfully, kept us updated with texts and photos. We will absolutely be asking her back!

We had such a great experience with our dog and house sitter, Norah. She took such wonderful care of Bentley and kept us updated the whole time, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, and it gave us total peace of mind knowing Bentley was in such good hands. It’s clear Norah truly cares and treats your home and pets like her own. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’, friends’, and even strangers’ pets! I’m very communicative with owners and strive to make sure owners know their fur babies are in trustworthy hands! I work nightshift full time but on my days off I have plenty of time to care for your pets whether that be a drop in, a walk, some play time, an overnight stay, or anything in between! Depending on what your pet needs I am happy to oblige. I’ve worked with pets who free roam in the house or need to be caged!
