Oli was great. She sent pics and updates daily, which we really appreciate. She stayed at our house the entire time we were gone. We have a very old dog and a neurotic dog and 4 cats. She provided love and care to our pets and home. I highly recommend.

Hollie was great with our dog Cosita while we were away. Cosita is very timid but Hollie gave her space until she was comfortable. We came back to a super clean house and happy dog. Would totally recommend!

Brevin was great with all 4 of our pets (3 Dogs and a Cat) and they are a handful lol. I would recommend Brevin for all your petting needs and look forward to hiring him for our next trip.

Alex took great care of our two dogs! He sent daily updates and photos. Our dogs really enjoyed their time with him. He left the house clean and tidied up. Very happy with the care our dogs got while we were gone, especially our senior!

Jacob did such an amazing job with our Husky! We felt confident the entire time we were away that he was taken care of and safe. Jacob gave us daily updates and even went above and beyond cleaning the house after his sit was over! We will definitely be contacting again when we need doggy care. Thanks again Jacob, you’re the best!

Looking for someone who is kind, thoughtful, and who will truly love on your pups while you’re away, Camryn is a great choice! We came home to three very happy pups and from the pictures we saw of their weekend together, have no doubts that they loved her company. Thank you so much!

I had to find a sitter VERY last minute and Margaret was incredible. She met me for a meet and greet and my sweet Tillie fell for her right away. Tillie had a great time on her sleepover and I'll definitely be reaching out to Margaret again in the future.

Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!

Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!

About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.

About: I have taken care of neighbor, friends and families dogs for the past 4 years. I’m experienced in staying over, feeding your pets, playing and giving pets care over long weekends or for a short check up. I have worked with pets who have needed medicines at allotted times ie. at breakfast or dinner times. I also have experience with using an e-collar. I love to make your pet feel as comfortable as if you had never left! Currently I have a part time job and am a college student but with I have a lot flexibility, I am able to work around my schedule so it can work out for the both of us. I am able to take your dogs on walks or to the dog park. I also am able to crate them after we have returned from activities.

Kylie was great! She sent a ton of photos of the cats, sent detailed daily updates, and really eased my mind while I was away for the weekend. She’s great with shy kitties and was able to get my nervous boy to take his medicine. Thanks for being so good with them!
