Caroline is very professional. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my (somewhat stress prone) kitty at home for the weekend. I plan on requesting her in the future too!

Thank God we found Doug!! He has been absolutely wonderful with our senior dog, Baxter. He is always on time to care for him. Baxter has some health issues that Doug was very helpful with, including cleaning his eyes and eye drops. Doug is great to work with, understanding and helpful with schedule changes, and he went above and beyond what was expected. We highly recommend him and he will be our go to person in the future. We especially appreciate the pictures he sends and that he takes time to play with Baxter even though Baxter sometimes has a hard time getting around.

We were very happy with Katherine’s petsitting services! She came by to let our two lab mixes outside and play with them for a bit. She sent pictures and provided a thorough update, we’d love for her to come by again.

About: I have always had dogs in my house and I have pet sit for my neighbors all the time in the summer! I love spending time with animals and have a horse of my own! I currently work at a restaurant part time and only have one class in school so I have a very flexible schedule for anytime of the day! I have a big fenced in backyard where my dog loves to run around. Also have tons of toys and a pool for the pets to cool off!

Kayla was fantastic. She came over for a meet and greet ahead of our trip and took detailed notes on our pet's needs. Our pet managed to disassemble his automatic feeder; Kayla was able to troubleshoot the feeder to get it back on its tracks during one of the drop-ins. Highly recommend, very professional and truly cares about your pet's well-being!

About: As a true animal lover with years of experience caring for friends' and family members' pets, I've developed a deep passion for nurturing our furry companions. Now that my nest is empty, I’m excited to dedicate my time to showering your pets with the love, care, and joy they deserve. Let's create some unforgettable moments together! After a rewarding career as a nurse, I’ve embraced a new chapter as the owner of a logistics company. This venture gives me the freedom to work from home and enjoy a flexible schedule. Now, I have plenty of time to shower my furry friends with love and attention! Meet my adorable mini golden doodle, the friendliest furball you'll ever encounter! He absolutely loves playing with other animals and adds so much joy to my home. I also share my home with two fabulous cats—one playful kitten and a wise two-year-old. They all get along wonderfully, making this happy household a delightful hub of furry antics! While my yard isn’t fenced, it opens up to a beautiful golf course in BSL, providing a great backdrop for endless playtime. Plus, my quiet dead-end street is perfect for relaxing walks, ensuring all can enjoy the outdoors safely. Come and join the fun—it’s always a great day for a walk or a romp in the yard!

About: I have lived with dogs all my life, in my house in Colombia I lived for 10 years with my dog ​​Sasha, she had 5 children and I supported two of them Simon and Lucky, I played with them, walked with them, taught them to pass things and win prizes, that helps them de-stress and feel important as they really are, the world should be surrounded by animals and then we will all be better people, I love my baby dogs, they are the best thing I have in my life, here in the USA. I share with 2 dogs Issy and Beart, I play with them, we run all over the house with the baby that I take care of, I feed them, teach them things with prizes and above all I give them a lot of love. I am free every afternoon from Monday to Friday from 5pm, the last Saturday of every month I am free all day and also every Sunday and public holidays. I try to sing to them to relax them, they love it, also playing and teaching them things with rewards, stretching, or hide-and-seek games, or obstacle course games.

About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 years. I have fostered dogs with all backgrounds and all different breeds including abused, abandoned, and aggressive dogs that needed extra attention to acclimate to a steady home environment. I am currently a student Physical Therapist working to get my doctorate degree! I have flexibility due to part of my program being online and have extended weekends typically with either Friday or Monday off. I have a fur baby to keep your dogs company. I can crate if necessary. I have a fenced backyard to allow the dogs to play. I walk the dogs at least 3 times a day. Have dog parks and trails also around.

JoEllen loves all animals! She is one of those people that just “gets” animals. JoEllen understands the value of quick and frequent communication regarding the status of fur babies! She will always make sure to send updates and plenty of pictures. JoEllen has been a great cat sitter to my 2 cats. She is reliable and trustworthy, and will go above and beyond to make sure your animals are taken care of.
