“Vanessa was great with our girls! We felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands. Everything went great and she left the house the way we left it. The girls get so excited to see her :) We highly recommend Vanessa and will be calling on her again for future vacations.”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter. Literally zero complaints, she was communicative, helpful, took notes on the goods and the bads, went above and beyond to provide service for my pets. Absolutely will be using her again, first choice.”
“Carina was great! She came by the house to get to know my boys and go through the routine and schedule. She gave me updates during the visit and made me feel comfortable leaving my babies at home.”
“Kirsten was great! She helped us out with really short notice, and was very flexible & accommodating. Cooper seemed to connect with her right away! We will definitely book her again!!”
“Carter was amazing! He kept us updated while we were gone, sent us pictures of our baby. He took great care of Finn, our house and all my plants while we were away. I would 100% use his services again and recommend him to anyone who needs a house sitter, pet sitter, dog walker, he left our house in great condition, honestly cleaner than when we left. Thank you Carter for taking care of our 115lb fur baby!”
“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”
“Emrys was fantastic with my senior dog, Mal. He was a great communicator and always let me know what was going on with his schedule/key hand offs, asked questions when he needed, and sent timely updates every day. In the pictures he sent, I could see my dog getting happier and more at ease with him as the days went on. Emrys was courteous and cleanly and did a great job cleaning and changing the bed sheets for the sitter that arrived after him. My only tip for others is that Emrys does have an active life outside of his work and isn't the type of sitter that stays in every night with a book or a film. So, be upfront in your consultation if you have expectations for when you'd like him to be home for lights out. He's very respectful and communicative as long as he knows what you're wanting.”
About: My wife and I are self employed and looking to make extra money caring for your fur babies! We both have 13+ years experience caring for pets and currently have 3 furry friends of our own. We chose to do this together to be able to help as many families as we can and give you the peace of mind you deserve while away. We are familiar with many different breeds and are comfortable with all sizes and ages. Whether you are in need of a house sitter or just a walker for a day, feel free to message us and we’d be more than happy to help you out! Hope to hear from you soon! We are both self employed so our schedule is flexible. We have the freedom to work around all pet care needs so your pet is priority. We do not offer pet care in our home, as we value the comfort of our elderly Bulldog. We offer care in your home and would follow all instructions you give us and treat your pets as we would our own.
“Veronica came to my rescue after my original sitter cancelled as we were on the road driving out of state. She kept me informed and was able to give my loveable pups the attention and care they needed. Will definitely book with her again the future!!”

“Riley was an excellent dog sitter! She provided me lots of great updates throughout the time I was away and gave my pups lots of love and attention. She kept my house clean and was ultra responsible, asking any questions she may not have had the answers to. Would definitely recommend Riley!”

About: Pets are family! Taking care of them is one of the most rewarding experiences and provides unconditional love. I have been around numerous animals my entire life, and currently have 3 dogs! Daisy, Luka and Honey! I love being outside, walking, hiking and playing fetch on our 2.5 acre property. I always have time for pets! I work Monday-Friday but am available after 3pm or on weekends. I also offer boarding and there is always someone home for our fur babies! I have a fenced 2.5 acre property and 3 friendly, loving and playful dogs to keep your baby company! If you prefer, I can always place your dog in a large kennel or keep them separated from others. I am flexible and can meet most needs!
“Vita was so kind and easy to work with and was AMAZING with Catorri ❤️ She sent pics and videos and stayed in touch letting me know my pup was well cared for. I will def use her again! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, birds, cats, bunnies and even wildlife such as raccoons. I’ve always been a big animal lover. I’m currently a college student just looking to take care of some fur-babies in my free time. I am a college golfer but I do have a lot of free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am also willing to make time on weekends. I will treat the dog like it is my own child, I think our pets are more than just animals, they are our family as well.
“Toni was beyond amazing! She gave our dogs so much love and kept them company when we were gone. So much so that when we got home they were excited to see us for 15 minutes then slept the rest of the day! I am forever grateful for her and her family even more so for caring for my one pupper who had a health episode when in her care. They handed everything amazing and took amazing care of him. I would love to book her again!”

Brittany S.
“Brittany is my wife and has been my best friend for 16+ years! She has always had dogs ever since she was a kid. The second she turned 18 she got one of her own and after we got married we got another one! Brittany is always taking the dogs on walks, dog park trips, and keeping their brains stimulated by practicing commands at least once a week! I can also attest for 3-4 of her friends that request her to watch their dogs when they’re gone. Overall, she has a huge heart and there aren’t enough animals in the world to fill it!”

Iris B.
“We had the absolute best experience having our friend Iris watch our dogs while we were away on vacation. From the moment we left, we knew our pups were in great hands. Iris was amazing with them—so loving, attentive, and patient. Honestly, we have a feeling they didn’t even want her to leave when we got back! It was such a relief to be able to truly relax on our trip, knowing our dogs were safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. Iris kept us updated and made sure their routines stayed consistent, which meant the world to us. She treated them like her own, and it showed. Coming home to two happy dogs (who might’ve been slightly disappointed to see us instead of her!) just confirmed how well they were cared for. We’re so grateful for Iris and wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love your pets like family.”
