1. Sarah M.

“My first experience with Sarah as a house and pet sitter was wonderful. She was incredibly communicative through the booking and sitting process, responding to messages right away, and sending multiple pictures a day while I was away. Our first meet and greet made me feel very comfortable with her taking care of my two large dogs. The dogs were very well taken care of while I was gone, including medication administration, and my house was pristine when I got home. Would definitely hire Sarah again!”


2. Skylar W.

“Skylar was excellent with our dog and cat while we were on a long weekend trip. Excellent communication and she took amazing care of our space!”


3. Therese C.

“Therese was outstanding in every way! She visited our dog prior to our first time booking so that we could meet her in person. My Jack Russel fell in love with her! When she came for our vacation, she was an hour early so that the dog wouldn’t be so traumatized with us leaving. She sent pics and videos of our dog which we really appreciated! Our dog has severe separation anxiety but felt so comfortable with Therese! We are so appreciative!”

“Cher took wonderful care of our pets while we were away this weekend!”

About: I have done work in first aid and training with animals for most of my life. Pets are a part of your family and deserve the best! I work three 12hour shifts and one 4hour shift every week. This leaves me 3 and a half days of "freedom". Giving me ample time to care for my animals and possibly yours! Keeping pets safe, happy and comfortable is a must. I have two gentle giants of my own and a large yard to run and play while supervised.


6. Louis D.

“Louis took great care of our 3 dogs! He kept excellent communication with us, and sent us pictures. We will definitely be trusting him with our dogs and our home again!”


7. Henry R.
“Pet Sitter Extraordinaire! Henry has taken care of my dog Latka on numerous occasions for the three years since I adopted her from a local shelter.He is caring, loving and my dog loves going to the beach and long walks and hikes with Henry. She is a high energy dog, so Henry makes sure she gets plenty of exercise. She loves snuggling with him. He is very honest and takes impeccable care of my home as well. I would not hesitate to hire Henry. He’ll be #1 on your list as he is on mine!! Sent from my iPhone”


8. Amber L.

“Amber did great with Liberty. She sent us photos and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We will definitely use her in the future.”


9. Ella B.
About: I have taken care of cats my entire life at my own home & my grandma’s home. I have also dog sat over weekends many times at peoples houses. I currently only have one class M/W and two classes T/TH, so I have a lot of free time in my hands to make sure your pet is getting the attention and love they deserve! We have a fairly large backyard area that could be great for going potty, and an unused fenced in soccer field across the street for more free play time!


10. Joseph S.

“We left our two 85 lb energetic dogs with Joseph for 3 days. Joseph came into our home and treated it like his own. He took meticulous care of our dogs, exercised them and treated them well. We were very pleased with his help!! He sent us a bunch of updates and pictures. Thanks Joseph”
