“Danielle was able to watch Harleigh at the last minute and was even able to come by and see her routine before we left town! We received regular updates with pictures from the weekend! Harleigh got lots of love, walks, and play time. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for our special girl! We look forward to using Danielle again.”

“The best!! Our dog can be a challenge at times, especially with separation anxiety and eating and Rachel was wonderful with her! She sent lots of pics and updates. She’s very sweet and followed my instructions perfectly. Will absolutely use her in the future!”


11. Mycah F.

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pups, they absolutely love you! I never need to worry about them when I’m away. You’re the best!”


12. Jessi T.

“Arrived home at 5am from our trip. Our pets were happy to see us. The house was in pristine condition. Nothing was out of place even though I know Jess and the dog had all his dog toys out because she was kind enough to send us pictures of their little adventures & our cat knocked a glass candle to the floor, watched the roomba try to eat it just to amuse himself. Jess handled it. Very pleased with Jess and the service she provides to our family when we are out of town. No worries.”


13. Lena A.

“Lena is a gem! We couldn't ask for a kinder gentler soul to care for our pups in our home. She was very attentive with our elderly fur babies which left us at ease to leave home and enjoy our vacation. We've already booked a second trip with her! It's a wonderful feeling knowing you can entrust your pups (and home) to such a sweet person. 5 out of 5 stars? We'd give her 10 stars if we could!”


14. Amanda C.
About: I have been taking care of dogs all shapes and sizes for many years! I have experience watching both small and extremely large dogs. I have owned many types of dogs including an English Mastiff, Labrador Retriever and my current rescue Border Collie mix. I worked in a dog shelter for around two years as well. I can take your dogs on walks or on hikes! I am open to caring for any type of dog and know that all dogs are different with their own special needs! I work part-time so I have lots of free-time to devote to your pets. I am currently working part-time at a bakery in town so I have lots of time to do multiple check-ins per day for your pets! I am happy to give your pets their normal routine plus more when on my care! I love taking dogs on walks, playing in the yard with them or doing some in-house enrichment/playtime if the weather isn’t permitting.


15. Alexandra S.

“What an amazing pet sitter! Our fur family loves her and we’re well taken care of. She left house and pets in perfect condition. We would absolutely use her again! If we could give more than 5 stars, we would:)”




16. Laura C.

“Laura helped us out last minute and took such good care of our little Oliver! She even stayed some extra time when we made an error with our booking. We will definitely book her again in the future!”


17. Abigail K.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with each pet. I treat every animal like my own, paying close attention to their unique needs, personality, and routine. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs lots of playtime or a shy cat who needs patience and space, I adapt my care to fit them perfectly. I am currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to hang out with your favorite family member! I am a moring person and never have any problems staying up late. I never let my pets out of my eyesight. When they want attention I can't do anything but provide it to the most amazing animals.


18. Arlo C.
“Arlo was so good with my cat missy! They are so caring and created such a connection with her. She loved how Arlo played with her and I loved how well taken care of and happy she was. Helped me with some piece of mind while i was away.”




19. Wendy V.

“Wendy was great. She snatched up an impossible to cover NYE dog sit in our home last minute. She was great at communicating and we came home and our pup seemed tired from being exercised and cared for.”


20. Alyssa M.

“I highly recommend Alyssa as a pet sitter. She has cared for my cat and dog multiple times and has consistently impressed me with her professionalism and genuine love for animals. Alyssa followed my animals' dietary requirements and made sure my pets were played with and taken on regular walks. She always ensured I returned home to a clean litter box, food bowl, and water bowl. In addition, she provided regular updates on their well-being, keeping me informed and reassured. It was also easy to contact her when I had any questions or concerns regarding my pets. She consistently arrived on time, respected my home, and maintained cleanliness. With her exceptional care and passion for animals, Alyssa is an ideal candidate for any pet-sitting position.”
