7. Hilary R.
“In the 26+ years I've known Hilary, she has never been without a dog in her life that she has loved and cared for almost as much as her own children. She is an excellent and considerate caretaker that anyone would be fortunate to have watch and/or care for their treasured pet. Simply stated, there is no one better than Hilary to watch over your dog.”
8. Jennifer K.
“Jennifer was absolutely excellent puppy sitting my 2 year old Pomeranian Ruby! I felt completely comfortable knowing that Ruby was in qualified, loving hands. Jennifer sent me photos daily as well as shared updates on how Ruby was doing while I was away for two weeks. Jennifer asked all the right questions regarding Ruby's care to ensure a positive, happy visit. I am so fortunate to have Jennifer in my network as a reliable sitter for Ruby when I go out of town. Ruby absolutely adored her and I can tell they developed a beautiful friendship! I am so grateful! Thank you Jennifer!”

13. Courtney M.
“I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty with Courtney! I know cats have a reputation for being independent but some (mine) still need plenty of attention while we’re away and I was glad to know Courtney understood gets it. Courtney was great, especially if you have a kitty that wants more during a visit than a full food bowl.”
14. Janine D.
“Janine is an outstanding pet sitter who has been caring for my two dogs and cat for several years. She is incredibly reliable, always punctual, and takes her responsibilities seriously. Her compassion shines through in the way she interacts with my pets, ensuring they are well-fed, exercised, and showered with attention. My dogs, typically anxious around new people, warmed up to her immediately, demonstrating her gentle and caring nature. She also provides regular updates and photos, giving me peace of mind when I'm away. Janine handles any issues with professionalism and kindness, and my independent cat receives just as much care and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter. Her love for animals is evident in every interaction.”
