This is our second time working with Christina, and she is so good with our kitties. I am especially grateful that she was able to help when our flights were delayed coming home to make sure our girls were fed and safe. Thanks again!!

Joseph did a great job with taking care of Bosco and the house. He was very responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; and he notified me when he thought I might have a concern about Bosco. He took great care of the condo and left it very neat. Great job!

Glenn was fantastic! He housesat for us and provided excellent care for our dog. Additionally, he provided updates on a daily basis and, upon return, our home was as neat as the day we left. Without a doubt we would request Glenn again.

Michael was awesome! Took great care of our girl and kept us posted with pictures and messages. So glad we decided to have him stay in our home as our dog is older and we didn't want to disrupt her routines. Would highly recommend and plan to use again.

Octavia was the perfect dog sitter for my mini poodle. I was nervous to leave him for the long weekend, and she provided reassuring updates and photos to let me know my little dude was doing great and having the best time with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

About: I’m a social worker, a mom to 2 pit bulls, 1 senior cat, and 1 human toddler. I grew up on a farm and I am a lifelong animal lover. Between the various needs of my creatures at home, and my experience over the last 20 years, I’m well equipped to take care of your babies. I have somewhat flexible availability during the week, and even more so on the weekends. I work from home some days of the week and can pop out as needed. I am attentive to your instructions for care and walk in with eyes wide open. If something seems off, I’ll let you know right away. I’m also happy to send cute pics to reassure you that your babies are doing great :)

Chris and Mandy did a great job pet-sitting our dogs. One of our dogs has a touch of vertigo, the other takes daily meds, and both can be dog-reactive. They handled everything easily, like the experienced dog owners they are.

Devaney was great! My dog Junie takes a little extra time to warm up to people- Devaney was patient, allowing Junie to slowly build comfort. Devaney was communicative, sending pictures throughout the weekend, and left my house very clean! Would definitely recommend

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 8, and I have owned a dog since I was 5. I have successfully potty-trained a puppy. I enjoy being outside and walking, so I'd love to help out in any way, whether by helping them get their energy out or by hanging out with them. I work part-time and have free time between 10 am and 2 pm to take care of your fur babies. I usually use that time to hit the gym or study in the library, but I'm flexible. I can come to your fur baby and transport them to the park or wherever is needed. I can dog-sit for a few hours or a weekend and take them for walks.

We are so happy that we found J.J. my wife was having surgery and we hired J.J. to sit with our boy. J.J. was very open with his availability and was able to change the hours as needed. Having J.J. stay with Tucker allowed me to give my full focus to my wife and her recovery.

About: I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. My experience with many types of pets helps me quickly understand and meet each animal’s unique needs I work from home often, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, whether that means staying with them longer or stopping by multiple times throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, making sure they get consistent care, companionship, and lots of attention while you’re awa I have a large fenced in yard, and I’m very active, so dogs in my care get plenty of outdoor time, including walks and hikes. I follow your pet’s routine closely and can stop by your home as often as needed to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for.

About: With experience in both cat and dog sitting, I’ve cared for pets of family, friends, and neighbors, providing attentive and reliable care. My experience includes overnight stays and routine check-ins, ensuring pets receive the attention and comfort they need while their owners are away. My passion for animals shines through in my dedicated and compassionate approach to pet sitting. Being a college student, I fit pet care into my routine with evening care and playtime, ensuring pets get the attention and care they need. I do not currently have pets in my current home. I care for pets in other ways, such as drop-ins and pet walking. Thank you!

Christine was flexible and communicative when watching our dog and cat. Her flexibility in being able to watch our house and animals last minute after another booking fell through really helped us. She took care of our animals who both have medications and our dog with separation anxiety which isn’t the easiest to handle, but she did just a great job in updating us several times a day through the weekend. Would definitely recommend her to watch your pets and home!

Tea is a frequent house sitter for our highly anxious dog. Tea provides outstanding care and maintains consistent communication while we are out of town (and provides pics of our dog). Most importantly, our dog loves and trusts Tea, which is all any pet parent can ask for.
