“Ann did a great job taking care of my dog and house while we were away for 7 days! The house is cleaner than we left it, she gave daily updates and kept my pup fed, walked and happy.”


2. Mo F.

“We spent a weekend away without our pups, and I’m very happy with the care provided! The communication was good, and I came home to very happy dogs. Taking care of three big dogs can be a lot, but that wasn’t an issue for Mo! My dogs took to Mo right away, and I felt very comfortable leaving them knowing they were in great hands. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Mo!”

About: I’m a deaf person and I love taking care of animals since I was a kid. My family owned a farm and I owned many pets throughout my childhood. I have experiences with taking care of my family pets (dogs and cats). I taken care of dogs with bathe, fed, and walked them. I taught the dogs how to do handshake, sit, and wait. I have fed the cats and give them the attentions and cuddles. I’m working as a full time teacher assistant at a deaf school. I work on every Mondays-Fridays at 7:30 AM-3:30 PM. I’m always free on weekends a lot and I don’t own a car myself. I have a transportation by using train or Uber. I have experienced crate and fenced dogs in my family their homes a lot. My roommate has a dog and is potty trained and roam free around alone at home.

15. Logan G.

“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”
