“Brandi was an absolute delight to work with. You will be instantly at ease with her caring for your pets.

Will be using her services again and again! Thank you Brandi?”

7. Loralei C.
About: Hello! Are you looking for a pet sitter with experience who loves animals? I've been caring for pets since I was a child, starting with my family's first dog. I am reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing your furry friends with the best care possible! I understand the concerns you may have about your pets, and I assure you that all expectations will be met. My passion for animals is genuine; I have always had a sensitive heart when it comes to their needs. I am committed to giving your pets all the love and attention they deserve, including plenty of cuddles, playtime, and affection. I currently work a part-time job and attend church on Sunday mornings, but I want you to know that I will ensure your pets' needs are met and taken care of. I will spend as much time as possible with them and make sure they are comfortable and safe before heading to church or work. I don't have much on my plate, so I will be available most of the time! In your home, I will provide the best care for your furry friend. The house will be kept clean and tidy, and if any messes occur, I will ensure everything is spotless before you return. I can either crate your dog or cat, stay the night with them, or keep them company throughout the night—whatever your pet needs. They will be well-fed and played with, so you can be confident that your pets will be cared for, understood, and loved.


8. Caeden S.

“This was a long stay and we were able to enjoy the time away knowing our pup was well cared for at home enjoying Regular walks and outside play.”


9. Kristin C.

“From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!”


10. Mary K.

“Mary is a great person, friendly and attentive. Tremendous communication. I felt comfortable with her in charge”


11. Rosalind O.

“Came home to a happy dog. She was also great about sending updates and pics daily. Will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a in home dog sitter while on vacation.”


12. Lette P.

“Did such a great job taking house sitting and taking care of both dogs. Loved all the pictures ?”


13. Tanner L.
“Tanner has a very unique and definitely rare gift of being able to care, and even more importantly and impressively, relate to pets. If I had to somehow describe it without watching it with you, I would suggest thinking of the movies Marley and Me and A Dogs Purpose(i haven't seen him around cats). He understands not only what troubles them and why it troubles them but also is able to seamlessly put himself in their shoes and knows their perspective of how things are going for each pet. More importantly, I believe this allows and gifts the pet a certain feeling and level of freedom and trust to the outside world.”


14. Brogan A.

“We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️”


15. Kyleen W.
“Kyleen did a great job taking care of my three dogs, and cat while I was away! She even let me facetime so I could see my dogs, and sent tons of photos through out my trip.”


16. Ali M.
“My dogs love Ali, He’s very good with my dogs, I moved about an hour away but when I go out of town is the first person I called to babysit my dogs. I still refer people to Ali. We have a nickname for dog whisper”


17. AnnaMarie G.

“When we reached out to AnnaMarie, we quickly set up a time for a meet-and-greet with Tanner. Tanner was a bit nervous about meeting someone new, but he quickly fell in love with AnnaMarie. AnnaMarie was incredible! She was so caring, thoughtful, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order while we were away. We had an amazing time having her as our house and pet sitter. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring house and pet sitter, look no further than AnnaMarie. She’s the best!”


18. Jacoba H.
“Jacoba is great with all animlas! Her dog Hattie is her whole world and she will take care of your animal like her own! She is very responsible and dedicated”


19. Kennedy T.
About: I can be very energetic and love playing with high energy dogs. I especially love training dogs and teaching them new skills. I’m also great at comforting animals in their time of need and am very detail oriented; therefore, I pick up on your dog’s cues that others may not! I currently work part time; therefore, I have plenty of time to care for your pets as you need. I am also a college student from Fall-Spring but have summers off. I have lots of dog sitting experience and am great at being your dog’s substitute owner in their time of need. I can be described as a very trustworthy individual and will keep your pets safe to the best of my ability!


20. Jenny H.

“Jenny is the absolute BEST!! I was so anxious leaving my babies and she immediately put me at ease. She has been sending me pictures and letting me know how they are doing 3x a day!! She will be missed when we return by our pups!! Thank you Jenny!!”
