“Samantha is an amazing and caring pet mom. She took care of my dog Toby while I was away and treated him as her own, taking him on many walks and giving him much love and attention in my absence. She has also cared for my three cats and was wonderful with each and every one of them. She followed my instructions to a T. She has many years of experience owning pets and it just comes second nature to her. I would highly recommend her and would never use anyone else to care for my furbabies when I am not available. I give her five stars and beyond.”

11. Lyn B.
“Lyn impressed me from the very beginning. She is one of the most thorough dog sitters ever! Before she even cared for Baby Roscoe, she took time out of her schedule to do a meet and greet with me at my home. She asked all the right questions about my dog's health, eating habits, walking times, dog food, medicine, etc. During her stay at my home, Lyn took very good care of my dog and even helped me out with checking daily mail and receiving packages. She's is really an outstanding pet sitter. So, please don't hesitate to call her if you need a pet sitter. ”

13. Laurie A.

“Laurie was great! Our pets loved her and so did we. She was caring, attentive, and very responsible. Laurie made sure our 4 year old dog got plenty of sunshine and playtime. She took her to the local dog park, played fetch in the back yard 1 -2x during the day. She gave both the cat and the dog extra snuggles and cuddles in our absence. She followed the daily routine for the pets as requested. She stayed in our home and took care and time to keep it tidy. We would highly recommend her and plan on making future travel plans and booking Laurie to help care for our fur babies. Laurie, is mature, responsible and has a gently disposition that is calming to be around.”




14. Violeta K.

“Violeta has been sitting both of our Dobermans for a couple years now whenever we’re away for the day. This time we asked her to watch our older girl for a week while we were out of town. She came by 4x a day to feed, let out and spend time with our dog. Everything went super smoothly and she followed our directions no problem — she even checked our mail and brought in packages for us. We are so grateful to have someone nearby who can watch our pup for a few days when we’re out of town. Thanks Violeta!”

“Kayla came to babysit our new puppy and our two other dogs! We felt very safe having her in our home to hang with them all day while we had to be away at an appointment. It made us feel so much better knowing she was there to give then love and attention. Thanks so much!”


16. Yushin "Tina" P.
“Tina has been taking care of my dogs for a few times. She is reliable and trustworthy. She has a genuine love for animals. She pays attention to dogs’ unique needs, personality and make sure they are happy and comfortable. She also has two adorable dogs herself and very knowledgeable about dog care. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring dog sitter.”

19. Katlyn G.

“Katlyn is a great dog sitter! She was available on pretty short notice and even agreed to stay at our house. She came to our house to meet Tucker beforehand which I really appreciated so I could show her around the house. She was in communication with me everyday providing updates and pictures on Tucker. She took him on lots of walks and adventures and even got him to cuddle with her! We will definitely use Katlyn again.”
