“Everything is always perfect with Robin being here with our fur babies she’s wonderful jazz absolutely loves her and I never even know that I’m gone because she’s so comfortable and the kitties are finally starting to come around they’re just a bunch of old kitties thanks Robin will see you in December”
“Becky did great with our highly reactive/protective Decker Rat Terriers. I was super anxious that all Cooper would do is freak out and bark at her for the entire four days we were gone and she was house sitting for us. He was all calmed down in a couple hours and was totally normal and sleeping with his head in her lap by the end of the first day. House was clean and she brought my very heavy UPS delivery up to the house, which I didn't expect at all. Highly recommend!”
“Theo was a great sitter! Very comfortable understanding special needs of older dogs. She was great at consistently communicating with us while we were away (including sending pix!). We would not hesitate to use Theo again.”
“Mandy was great with our pack! She took great care of the housemaid kept it nice and clean. The babies all seem to enjoy her company. If anything, they probably want us gone more often! She sent us plenty of photos and videos and also took our youngest dog out to hang out with her dog so he can get some energy out. Will definitely book again. Thank you Mandy!”
“Missy is wonderful! I was so anxious about leaving my baby for the first time but I was almost immediately put at ease during the first introduction. Missy is a great communicator. She sent texts/pictures daily and was quickly responsive to my texts. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing she was there. My dog was happy, healthy, and loved. The house was perfect and clean. Missy cared for the house, she cared for the dog, and I HIGHLY recommend her for any dogsitting/housesitting job. Thanks again Missy!”
“Ruby exceeded our expectations in caring for our Aussies. She came by to check in right before we left for our trip and provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Our dogs were calm and happy when we returned, a testament to her exceptional care. She was diligent in cleaning up after herself and took the initiative to strip the bed and place the dog dishes in the sink. We couldn't be happier with her service and will undoubtedly book Ruby again for our future pet sitting needs!”
“Brett did a great job taking care of our two puppies and was a conscientious guest in our home. I recommend him highly and without reservation.”
“I have a border collie/lab mix, a cat and a rabbit and Alexa did an amazing job taking care of my babies while I was gone. Sent me daily updates and was always quick to respond. Even did some extra cleaning I never ask for. Absolutely recommend!”
“Madison was a fantastic sitter. She was very communicative and considerate of our pets needs. She left our house clean and well taken care of. I felt very comfortable with her in our home and with our precious dog and cat. Absolutely would have her sit for us again! Thanks, Madison!”
“Sammi took most excellent care of Skittles!! He was happy and healthy when I returned from my trip and the house was in perfect condition as well. Great communication from Sammi, including some fun pictures of Skittles enjoying playtime with her. I would definitely use our services again. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty and house in her care!”
“Krysta did a great job with our fur babies. It was like we never left. The dogs reacted to her and were at ease from the first meet and great. Krysta kept us up to date on any issues that arose and took initiative to make sure our dogs were well taken care of. We would definitely recommend her services and would book her again.”
“I cannot recommend Vanesa enough. She made us feel so comfortable when we have an anxious dog who’s never been watched by someone she doesn’t know before. And she was amazing at sending updates and pictures of our babies. I’m just so grateful to have had such a pleasant experience thanks to her!”
“I really can't thank Bryan enough for the great service he provided while we were away. For three weeks he took care of our cat, chickens, garden, and houseplants, all of which thrived under his care. He also handled a few things that came up while we were away. Getting home from our trip, the house was cleaner than we left it. He is excellent!”
“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs! I’ve been watching and caring for family friends’ pets in their houses for over a year now for various amounts of time and I love it. I do what I do to take care of your pets but also to give you peace of mind while you’re away! I don’t have a job right now, but I am planning on working part time soon, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I leave for the gym & occasionally to go home, but other than that, I enjoy staying at the house &taking care of the pets! I play with the pets frequently as well as taking them on walks as often as the owner desires! I follow all meal time and other instructions to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible. I can also send daily check ins if that is wanted!
“Was the perfect dog sitter. She was attentive, kind and incredibly helpful to me. I lost a family member out of town - she came and stayed with them and showed them all the love I wish I could have given them while I was gone- including staying on schedule with my older pups medicine. I got daily updates with pictures or videos. I CANNOT recommend her enough.”
“Veronica did a great job of taking care of our cats. She sent us daily updates and communicated very well and always asked questions if she wasn't sure or needed more clarification. She spent extra one on one time with our newly adopted somewhat feral kitty working on getting her more socialized.”
“Paige really did a good job and was willing to work on Thanksgiving. Highly recommend”
“Grace was very responsive with messages and communicating. My doggies were able to meet up with her before we booked and having Grace take care of our dogs in our home was a pleasure! She sent us pupdates and we came home to the house better than the way we left it! She asked all the right questions and I felt reassured that our two doxies were in the right hands. Thank you Grace!!”
“Madeline did an absolutely WONDERFUL job taking care of our pup macaroni. She was very communicative, kind, and so easy to work with. We would definitely book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Madeline!!”
