2. Lacy B.


“Lacy was wonderful! My cats seemed to really like her. I got detailed updates everyday and pictures. It was nice knowing my cats were well cared for while I was away.”


3. Jonathan C.
About: Had a family dog for 14 years and take care of my brothers dog on a normal monthly basis. I am warm hearted and a soft giant. I am currently working at an internship that requires me to travel every once in a while however, not all the time. Once you tell me a date, I will work around it and find a way to accommodate that. I will take the time to make sure that your dog is able to use the bathroom when needed and play when needed. I am hyper focused on making them as comfortable as possible and pampering them.


4. Samantha G.
“Samantha was such a great sitter for my dog, Messi. Her dog Tucker was also a very friendly pup friend for my dog, which made me feel at ease so I could enjoy my vacation. Sam texted photo updates and made sure Messi was happy and healthy!”


5. Abigail R.

“Abigail was very professional, prompt, and courteous. She was responsive with updates for Kaz. Kazimierz also gave her two paws up and said she was very nice to him.”


6. Ashley G.

“Ashley has been a god send to our family (and our pup). She has helped our family out last minute on many occasions, and when we are both at work my mind is at peace knowing Ashley is scheduled to care for our dog. She is reliable and I know my dog is in good hands when she is sitting her. I can’t say thank you enough for her help.”


7. Hailey T.

“Hailey was truly exceptional! She took incredible care of our cat Mochi while we were on our honeymoon; not only making sure Mochi had food and some socializing while we were away, but she also brought in a few packages we had delivered while we were gone. She even made sure the litter box was clean when we got home. She sent lots of photos of our girl while we were gone and made the hardest part of the trip - leaving Mochi at home - a non-issue with how great she was. Thank you Hailey for everything!!”


8. Alex K.


“Alex watched my dogs for several days while I was out of town and took fantastic care of them. She played fetch every time she went by, sent several pictures, and let me know anything out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend letting Alex take care of your fur babies!”


9. Adreana K.
“Adreana K. has been a most loving and attentive cat sitter for our dear girl (then, a kitten) since September, 2022. After her first time with Sweet Mittens, Adreana came over to get paid and stayed to visit. She sat cross-legged on the floor and within moments, the kitty got into Adreana’s lap and settled for the remainder of the visit. We believe that Sweet Mittens sees Adreana as an extension of her family; as do we. We are very comfortable with Adreana's abilities to make good decisions and confident that she acts ethically. We’ve left her in charge of our kitty (and home) for at least two weeks on two separate occasions and she finds time in her day to come over when we need her unexpectedly. Adreana has even helped us on Christmas for the past couple years, giving us peace of mind to travel knowing that Sweet Mittens is in good hands. We love that she keeps us updated on our kitty’s activities by sending videos. She is excellent at communicating and asking questions when needed. If you hire her, you won’t be disappointed, though we may be if she doesn’t have time left over for us.”


10. Cassidy C.

“Cassidy was thorough and great!!!”


11. Allison L.
“Allison is very caring and responsible which makes her a wonderful choice for pet care. She has cared for our dogs many times, always showing up when asked to and always being respectful of the needs of our dogs. She is trustworthy and very sweet. I would absolutely recommend her!”


12. Christie D.
“Christie has been my pet-sitter for the last 2 years and I completely trust her with my golden retriever. I travel a lot for work and knowing that my dog is in the hands of someone with a lot of expertise when I'm away gives me a huge sense of relief and peace. Christie always keeps me up to date with videos and pictures. Milo is always so excited when he gets to spent time with Christie.”


13. Elizabeth S.

“Elizabeth watched our four cats over the holidays and was a great sitter! From the beginning she was super communicative and worked with our schedule. She was great with them from our needy lap cat to our scaredy cat who hid all the time. It was a great relief to know we had a reliable sitter for when we were out of the country to check in on our cats. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her as a sitter again.”


14. Markia R.
About: Hello, my name is Markia. I love animals! They are my passion and it has always been a dream of mine to run an animal rescue sanctuary one day. I’ve had pets all my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for 4 years, assisted a professional dog trainer that owns her own dog boarding center, worked on a horse farm and have previous pet sitting experience. I am familiar with dogs, cats, small caged animals, reptiles, some barnyard animals and aquatics. I’ve attended multiple dog training seminars and have taken a few classes online. I am knowledgeable about dogs with moderate behavioral issues and can provide basic obedience training. Thank you so much for considering me and I hope to hear from you soon!


15. Theresa M.

“Theresa took excellent care of our cats while we were away. She followed instructions exactly and was very responsive to messages. Most importantly the cats liked her! Would absolutely recommend her, and will be hiring Theresa again for our next trip”


16. Kylie S.

“Kylie was professional, friendly and did everything to make sure my 90lb pitbull was taken care of. She looked after him for a few days and stayed in touch with me the whole time. If you need someone who is a lover of all animals and professional: book Kylie.”


17. Gabrielle C.
“Gabi has been the best dog sitter/walker I have found! Not only does she love and care for dogs, she treats them like they are hers. Gabi walks my pit husky mix who is a handful and my lab mix both together and they love her! Gabi will come during the day to let them out and walk them as I have a 9-5 job and my dogs look forward to seeing her every time! Gabi has also stayed the night and took care of them while I was away. There is no one else I will turn to when needing someone to look after my dogs! Gabi will not disappoint you!”


18. Jade H.

“Jade was so attentive and went above and beyond with our cats. We received daily updates with awesome photos and you could really tell they were being cared for by someone who generally loves animals. We would 100% book again with Jade!”


19. Patrick M.

“Thank you, Patrick! We really appreciated Patrick’s help on short notice!!”


20. Larissa P.

“Larissa is wonderful and so caring for our pups. She paid special attention to our gentle old lady dog and seemed amused by our precocious younger one. Will happily hire her again.”
