13. Rebecca T.
“I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Rebecca. From the moment we met, it was clear that shegenuinely cares about animals and brings a high level of professionalism to pet sitting. During my time away, Rebecca provided outstanding care for my dogs and cats, ensuring their comfort and happiness. She followed our established routines meticulously, from feeding and medication to playtime and walks. Rebecca even went above and beyond by sending me regular updates, complete with photos and videos, which was incredibly reassuring and allowed me to relax during my trip. What sets Rebecca apart is not just the attentive care but also the personal touch. She took the time to understand my pet’s unique needs and preferences, creating a warm and loving environment. Upon my return, my Milo (my oldest dog who is quite ornery normally) was as happy and healthy as ever, a testament to the excellent care Rebecca provided. I wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. She has earned my deepest gratitude and trust, and I will certainly be reaching out again for future pet sitting needs.”

About: I love dogs, I understand how important they are for you so I will take care of them like are they are mine. I am very affectionate and caring myself so I will for sure be careful with your pet. I am also very active and playful hence that makes me the person who will run your dog and keep him happy and playing. I do not have professional experience but i have been around dogs all my life and they have been happy. My neighbors and friends leave their dog with me when they go out on trips and stuff. Apart from all the dog stuff, i go to University for Journalism and Women & Gender Studies. Live in the city with my friends and part time work at the library. I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability for the remainder of this year. I am also flexible with arranging my availability. I am able to keep your pets safe during walks and sittings. There are several fenced dog parks in my area and a safe area for them to play in my building.
15. Kelly M.
“Kelly came and hung out with our very separation anxiety prone pup in our hotel room when my husband and I went to dinner. Bailey instantly Took to Kelly and was chill and relaxed for their visit. Having someone other than the two of us leave meant much less whining and barking and we were able to enjoy a relaxing meal and know what someone would let us know if we really needed to come back. Thank you!”
16. Kirstie R.
“Kirstie was amazing and we will definitely be booking her again! She left detailed notes about each visit and was very communicative. One of our cats is typically scared of all new people but he even came out to see her on her second visit, which is not something I expected to happen and goes to show how great she was with our cats. I am so happy to have found our new go-to sitter :)”
17. Melissa A.
“Melissa is excellent! She took care of water and litter. Our cat Canelé loves her so much!”
18. Alexandra M.
“Alexandra was amazing and so sweet! She took care of our three cats and made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be requesting her for any future trips. Highly recommended!!”
19. Amy Lin S.
“Thank you for being so reliable, communicative and affectionate. Looking forward to working together again xo”
20. Stephanie A.
“Stephanie is perfect. She’s wonderful with my frenchie who has never spent a full day alone. She spends an hour with him on the long days I’m in the office and I’m confident that he’s safe and happy with her. We both love her! I hope to continue to work with her for a long time.”
