Rachel is awesome. I felt so comfortable leaving out dogs under her care. My dogs are lovely, but not always the easiest. My lab has a lack of survival instincts and is high energy. My senior corgi is losing her hearing and loves her routines. Rachel made sure to give the dogs affection, exercise, and kept me updated while we were out of town. We will be contacting Rachel for our next trip.

About: Our dog passed away and I miss her very much. Recently relocated to Alaska and loving it! Have extra time on my hands to care for your furry bundle. I’ll take care of her/him/them like my own. Sorry I can’t commit to a reoccurring schedule at this time. Currently between jobs (indefinitely!) so I have plenty of time until then to give your loved ones attention. I love being outdoors so plenty of fresh air is not an issue or playing inside and curling up on sofa with your fluff ball is cool too. No problem if your pet prefers their own space, I am open to all types of personalities. Happy to care for pets in your home according to your normal routine. I am currently renting so care in my home is not an option. Thanks for understanding.

Kara was amazing! She is super communicative and sent daily texts/pictures of the pets to let me know they were doing great. The pets took to her very quickly, even our cat who takes a week or more to warm up to someone was begging for belly rubs the first day. Thank you Kara!

Right from the start what stood out about Zack was his professionalism. He responded to messages quickly, arranged a visit to our home to meet us and our dog, and he arrived with detailed questions regarding our home, dog care, and safety plan. He also was flexible on schedule and worked with us for days he was already booked, he did drop ins and meals on those days for us. It is obvious that he takes his job seriously and I felt at ease leaving our dog and home in his hands. While we were gone he provided daily photos and kept us in the loop, and then once we arrived home we came back to a spotless house and a happy dog, which was such a nice surprise. We would absolutely recommend Zack and will use him again in the future.

We have used Erica several times for house and dog sitting, and she continues to do an excellent job. Our dogs are always happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. She keeps us updated while we're away and follows our instructions carefully. We especially appreciate the care she takes with our home. Each time we return, the house is exceptionally clean, neat, and well cared for, which gives us tremendous peace of mind when traveling. Erica is reliable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her.

About: I got a golden doodle when I was very young. Ever since then I’ve had a huge love for dogs and all animals. I’ve grown up with one, we got a second one shortly after. We basically had a mini farm at home, including ducks and bunnies. Once I moved out of my parents house I got a cat and a border collie/Australian Shepherd mix. I’ve been around animals all of my life. And I couldn’t imagine life without them. I work a full-time job Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM with an hour lunch. I work Fridays from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. I usually go home for lunch to make sure all pets are cared for. After work, I usually stay home for the rest of the night. I live in an apartment on the second floor with a balcony. It is a very safe environment. And cozy place. It is in a closed balcony, so there is no risks of animals falling off. I have two different windows that are big and both open for fresh air.

My young dog and my daughter 's senior dog both took to her immediately and were clearly well cared for. She was also flexible and accommodating of our schedule. A-plus!!

Avalon is wonderful! My fur babies all love her and she loves them. She goes the extra mile to make sure my dogs are happy and having fun. My house is always clean when we come home. She’s watched our house and animals twice in the past four months and have hired again in the next few months. We have the highest level of trust for Avalon. I would highly recommend her!

Erica provided excellent care for our kitties during our wedding weekend. She is incredibly thoughtful of animals personalities and understands their behaviors, to the point where I felt my girls were in safe hands. For anyone seeking someone to care for their cats, or dogs, Erica is trustworthy, kind, and a great choice for care.

Phenomenal. Rachel was an absolute blessing when all my regulars were unavailable. She was great with the dogs - including a very high energy puppy. She kept me updated regularly and was so accommodating as my plans changed last minute. It’s always a little weird to welcome a stranger into your home, but meeting Rachel the pre-visit, I knew immediately she was a kind and trustworthy person with a true love for animals.

Saved me and my fur babies ON AN HOURS NOTICE!! I had a sitter tell me they were leaving in 2 hours - and I was a plane ride away from house and pets. Melt down!! I went on Rover, told Annabella the story and she was at the house in a flash. Took excellent care of my house and my animals. Can’t thank her enough!

I had an emergency and had to leave town very suddenly and was not sure when I could return home. Bobby accepted my last minute request to book and she was here the next morning. Callie and Bobby’s pup got along great and I think having a 4-legged friend here helped Callie. I returned 2 days before the booking ended and Bobby was very flexible and accommodating.

Scott a reliable, mature, and caring individual who went above and beyond what was expected. He is an excellent communicator - kept us well informed with how things were going and provided daily pics and vids. He really did help ease our anxieties about leaving our fur babies. He is also a great trainer and knows his subjects well. Our pups responded to his personality in an extremely positive manner. Our shyest pup took to him faster than anyone I have seen. He took GREAT care of the pups and our house. HIGHLY recommend him. A super human!
