1. julie w.
“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She was professional and took amazing care of my pups (and fish) while we were out of town. Before her overnight stay she even came to meet me and the pups and brought them treats. I have no doubt they were well taken care of and will absolutely use her devices again in the future!”
2. Colleen O.
“Colleen is a very caring individual, and definitely loves animals! She knows a great deal about dog breeds and enjoys loving on and taking care of pets. She has had pets all of her life. She is responsible and communicates well. I would highly recommend her to be a caregiver of pets!”
3. Alec B.
“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
4. Louisa C.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Louisa’s care for both our home and our dog, Duchess! Not only did Louisa take fantastic care of Duchess, making sure she had plenty of playtime and love, but she also kept our home in pristine condition. We felt completely at ease knowing that Louisa was looking after everything while we were away. When we returned, everything was perfect—Duchess was happy and relaxed, and our home was just as we left it. We’re so thankful for Louisa’s wonderful care and will definitely be booking her again! Highly recommend!”
5. Skye K.
“Skye was referred by a friend whom I put great faith in as a pet owner. I could not have been more pleased with the service she provided and the cleanliness in which my home was left when she finished. She stayed in touch and sent pictures that were very much appreciated. Hope to see her again soon!”
6. Alexis W.
“Alexis was friendly and helpful with my dog and with my pet chickens. Thorough and thoughtful and authentic. Great sitter that actually spends time with your pup!”
7. Noah Z.
“Noah did a great job with my dog! She has a very strict routine and generally gets very anxious if it isn't followed. Noah followed her routine exactly and kept me updated with lots of pictures along the way. When I got back she was so relaxed and happy!”
8. Katie O.
“Katie did a wonderful job following our detailed directions on feeding and giving medicine to our rabbits. You would be lucky to have someone like her stay at your house and care for your animals.”
9. Mitchelle C.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid! I have 3 of my own. I’m very aware of the specific care each animals needs. I’m familiar with giving medications and keeping on a set schedule. I have 2 pets of my own so I know how important it is to keep them on a schedule. I’m also familiar with giving medication, food and other needs. If you have any specific needs please don’t hesitate to tell me! I can crate your dogs, walk them, play with them and keep them company.
10. Jalin G.
“Jalin grew up on a big dairy farm and has always had 2 dogs in her life since she was 3 years old. Amongst all the cows, chickens, cats, goats and pigs! She’s an animal lover for sure. She currently has 3 dogs and takes them to the vet and for walks and to pet stores!”
11. Lauren V.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I have been a trusted house sitter for neighbors with multiple pets and cared for my own lab, golden retriever, and sheepadoodle growing up. I’m currently a graduate student on clinical rotations. When I’m not working in the clinic, I am able to care for pets on my days off. I am willing to house sit or perform drop in visits. I can feed, walk, and clean your pet! I am also willing to administer medication. I will make sure to make your pet feel at ease while you are out.
12. Samantha M.
“Samantha is a family friend and she has kept my German Shephard, Winnie, many times while I have been out of town over the last few years. She is wonderful with Winnie, treats her like her own. I would highly recommend her to keep and love your fur babies.”
13. Brandi M.
“Brandi did a great job! It was very reassuring knowing there was someone at my house to care for my pets and keep me updated.”
14. Hannah S.
About: I used to work as a nurse but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!
