“Christine was a great sitter for our dog. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of photos. She did a great job taking care of him while we were away. Our dog does so much better with a good sitter than in a kennel!”

“Mary was AMAZING!! She hung out and played with our dogs and sent lots of pictures! She kept me updated on everything that happened! She not only took good care of our dogs but good care of our house while she stayed! I HIGHLY recommend Mary for all your pet needs!(:”

“Dana has extensive experience with animals and is currently a senior Veterinary Medical Technology (VMT) student. She has worked with both exotic and companion animals and will provide excellent care for your beloved pets.”


4. Madeline O.

“I think everyone looking for a sitter expects your pet to be fed, exercised, watered, etc. at the very least… but Madeline went above and beyond. She loved the heck out of my dog. Every photo she sent, you could tell he was so happy to be with her. That made it a bit easier to be away from him. I would absolutely book with her again! Thank you Madeline, B sends his love!”

“Shundrell has done a great job caring for my small maltipoo! She spends a lot of time indoors and Shundrell makes sure to keep the indoor environments fun and she sends a lot of pictures when boarding and for drop ins!”


6. Callie M.
“She is a very fond person if any animal and regardless of any issues whether physical or behavioral the animal might have. All of her own animals are taken care of to the best of her abilities and she prioritizes her fur babies the most in life. She is one of the best people to trust with animals!”


7. Jasmine B.
“Hey there! I just wanted to say that Jasmine, is truly amazing when it comes to providing safe and loving care for pets. She has this incredible ability to connect with animals, making them feel at ease and loved. When my pets were under her care, I could see how attentive and nurturing she was always making sure they were happy and comfortable. What really sets Jasmine apart is her warm personality and the genuine love she has for all creatures. Her great customer service shines through in her communication; she’s always quick to respond and so friendly. It is clear that she isn’t just doing a job she really cares, and that makes all the difference. I could not recommend her enough!”


8. Tyler G.

“Tyler was amazing! He had perfect communication and he left the house spotless! I would 100% recommend him to anyone. Our Great Pyrenees needed medication twice a day, and Tyler was able to administer on time every day. We will be using Tyler in the future!”


9. Erin T.

“Erin was wonderful with my puppy and a sweet person. She even came early to get details on his routine and stayed late. I can definitely recommend Erin :)”

11. Meryt B.
“Meryt is absolutely amazing when it comes to dog sitting! We have three dogs who don’t always get along, require medications, and need to be walked separately, but Meryt handles it all with such care and expertise. They take their time to make sure each of our pups feels comfortable and well cared for, and they always keep us updated with photos and any important details while we’re away. Communication with Meryt is super easy—they truly understand our dogs’ needs and go above and beyond, spending extra time with them if they notice any anxiety. We couldn’t be more impressed or grateful for their dedication and compassion!”

“Alexis was great with my kitty midnight. Was very attentive to her, gave her all the cuddles, and sent me plenty of pictures of her.”


13. Nani Grace A.
“If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with love and expertise while you’re away, Nani is your girl! With hands-on experience working in a veterinary hospital, she brings a level of knowledge and professionalism that sets her apart. Reliable and caring, Nani always ensures pets are happy, well-fed, and comfortable. Born and raised locally, she graduated from Mount Paran Christian School and is now a dedicated pre-vet student, blending her passion for animals with her career goals. Animals of all kinds are naturally drawn to her, and she has an incredible gift for connecting with them and putting them at ease. Nani truly understands how much pets mean to their families and treats every animal in her care as if they were her own. I can’t recommend Nani enough for her pet sitting services—she’s often available last minute, and helped many I know when they were in a pinch who have now become regulars on her schedule.”


14. Abigail N.
“Abby has been a blessing to me and my pup Homer! She has been watching him since he was a little pup and now he’s almost 4 years old. Homer absolutely lights up when he sees her and truly enjoys the activities she does with him! Sometimes, he doesn’t even want to come home, ha. I often get pictures of how he’s doing and she’s great about updating you. I cannot recommend anyone else for my pup!! She is the best.”
