Melissa was great with our pups! She took videos and pictures each day, which made being away less stressful! She left the house just as it was. Overall great experience!

Jade was excellent. Mose was very happy, and I could tell by the abundance of photos I was sent! My home was in great shape, and I trust her to watch Mose again any time. Very friendly, professional, and overall a great experience to work with. Thanks, Jade!

Kate was a wonderful sitter for our very anxious and senior pit bull. She communicated any challenge she was having (he can be challenging to get up and move around, go outside, eat when we are gone etc.). Her own little senior doggy was wonderful companionship to our guy as well. Would definitely recommend Kate’s service to others. ?

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!

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!!!!!!!!

About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.

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.

About: Im a reliable and active animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends and treat every pet like my own. I’m attentive to each animals needs whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, or giving them company. I’m a nurse looking to hangout with some furry friends and get some extra time outside. I’m a nurse working full time looking to find a way to spend extra time outside. During the week I am available early in the mornings and in the evenings. I am available anytime during the weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will be treated like family. I have one three year old cat at home who is shy but friendly. I prioritize constant supervision, secure spaces, and clear communication with owners, including updates and photos. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities.

Emily stayed with our nine week old puppy for a week (yes we had to go out of town for a week after getting a puppy) and she was amazing! She made sure to spend minimal time away meaning Stella was only in her crate for a few hours at a time. She played with her, sent tons of photos, and even trimmed her nails. We are so grateful that Emily was here to care for Stella! I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone.

About: Taking care of others has always been a passion of mine. Growing up as the oldest of four, I would watch younger siblings and our two cats and lab while my parents were away. As I got older, I started to take on more responsibility as a nanny, house sitter, and pet sitter. My experience includes working with puppies and kittens, senior dogs and cats, kittens, big dogs and little dogs, fish, and rodents. My responsibilities have ranged from over night care to occasional dog walks. When the time came for me to decide what career to pursue, I considered my love for taking care of others and animals - this is the reason I decided to become a teacher. With that being said, I need a summer gig that allows me to keep doing what I love! Thank you for considering me as your next house and pet sitter. As a teacher, I have summers off, so my schedule is relatively open outside of a bi weekly nannying gig, monthly cleaning job, and some vacations. Due to the flexibility of my schedule, I am available for overnight care, check ins with your pets every couple hours, or dog walks. Unfortunately, I am renting a home that does not allow pets, so I am unable to take animals back to my apartment place. With that being said, I will be visiting your home. I am a very cleanly, attentive, and communicative person! I assure you, your place will be cleaner than when you left it, and your animal will be happy and healthy.

Michelle took great care of our two golden retrievers while we were away. It was quite a week...severe thunderstorm warning. tornado warning, power outage, sick pup, changes in travel plans.... and yet she handled everything beautifully. Michelle is a great communicator and followed our instructions perfectly. She is a favorite and I hope we can work together again soon.

Fantastic experience! I’m a dog trainer and my dogs are basically my children, so I’m picky about who I allow to watch my house & my girls. My girls were very well cared for and I received daily updates with pictures, and my house was well cared for as well. Highly recommend!!

Sierra was absolutely incredible while caring for my two hectic dogs for two weeks. She is one of the kindest, most caring, and communicative pet sitters I have ever worked with. Throughout my trip, she kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. What truly sets Sierra apart is how much she genuinely cares. During our time away, one of my dogs needed veterinary attention, and Sierra took her to the vet and sat there for nearly two hours, even though she ultimately wasn't able to be seen. Her willingness to spend that time ensuring she was cared for meant so much to me! She also went above and beyond in countless ways, including helping with household tasks like doing laundry, and washing, drying, and remaking the spare bed, which was completely unexpected and greatly appreciated. It was clear that Sierra treated our home and our dogs as if they were her own. Undoubtedly will be booking with Sierra again!

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.
