“Kerri always does amazing with our girl. She is a timid and nervous dog, but Kerri stayed with her a few days and was so patient. Rose really opened up to her throughout their time together and we could not be more grateful. She always does an amazing job at keeping our house tidy while she stays. She always goes above and beyond!”

“Delaney watched my dog, Roxie, while we went away for about five days. She did a great job in communicating. Roxie was well taken care of, was happy and had a full bowl of water when we got home. I will definitely ask Delaney to watch my dog again in the future.”

“First time using Rover and leaving my 10-week-old puppy, and Ava was absolutely fantastic. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day, and I could tell he was having so much fun. She kept him on his schedule and was clearly experienced with puppies. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands- will definitely be using Ava again!”

“I know I can leave my pets in their hands whenever we need to get away! We always come home to happy pets and they're great at communication, too. I never need to worry!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little. I can really connect with them easily! It makes me happy that your pets are taken care of! Anytime, just let me know! I take time in my schedule to go to the gym as well, but that can be moved around if anything pops up! I have a fenced yard, so for my dogs I usually get toys out and play with them for a good bit. Maybe throw in some training treats for new skills. I can walk your pets, and learn what they love doing in your home! Even if that means cuddle time too!

“This was the first time hiring Melisha for a multiple day/night stay, and we’re checking the calendar to figure out when to hire her next. Updates and pictures provided regularly. The 2 dogs and cat couldn’t have been in more capable hands. Even with a bit of a ruckus with the 2 huskies hanging up on the poor cat, Melisha was calm, cool and collected. I can’t come up with more words of praise for all that she did in the care of our 3 pets. She’s going to be tired of seeing our name pop up in her notifications. :)”
About: In the past 6 years I have taken care of one large dog and three small dogs. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. I can provide additional puppy training, long walks, and administering medication. I currently work part-time, two to three days a week. I have free afternoons afters 3:30pm depending on location, early mornings 4-8am and some weekends to provide services. My goal is to make your fur baby feel completely at ease. I can offer mile hikes for dogs and cats & bunnies who like outdoor activity and entertainment.
“Jolene was beyond amazing. We had something come up and our original plans for our boys got cancelled. She was available last minute, was very responsive, and she is extremely polite. She kept me updated with photos and videos. She loved on our boys like they were how own! I am definitely a crazy dog mom and she put me at complete ease! We will definitely use her again!”

“Lindsay stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town. She watched our fur babies like they're her own. Will definitely use her services again - actually, we already have her booked for an October trip we're taking!”

“I had an excellent experience with Crystal as both a pet and house sitter. From the start, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring—she kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to any questions. It made being away from home much less stressful. Crystal proved to be incredibly reliable, showing up exactly as scheduled and following all care instructions carefully. I could tell she took her responsibilities seriously, not only ensuring my pets were well cared for but also keeping the house in great condition. I highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful pet and house sitter.”

“Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were away for 10 days. She is dependable, responsible and trustworthy, she was also very easy going with all of our pets wants and needs. She sent us updates and photos regularly and was quick to respond to our messages we sent to her. Our cat and dogs were well taken care of and so very happy while we were gone. Our home was also very well taken care of, she collected our mail and took out the trash. We will be using Sophia again in the future for drop ins and in home stays.”

“We've had Sarah watch our pets a few times and she continues to be fabulous. Sarah is to very vigilant & a strong communicative sitter! Plus our pets absolutely ADORE her, which I am so appreciative of.”

“We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She cares for our dogs as if they were her own babies, and that kind of love and attention is priceless. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a home that is just as clean and tidy as we left it. One of our favorite things is how many updates and photos she sends while we’re away—it brings us so much peace of mind (and joy!) to see how loved and comfortable our dogs are. She is kind, respectful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”
