We ran into an issue with our flights and got stuck an additional night out of town and Hannah was very willing to work with us and she helped us out tremendously! I would highly recommend Hannah and we would definitely like to have her sit for us again.”

15. Jeweliana W.
About: I have had animals since I was 6. I currently have two dogs, two cats, and a Guinea pig. My boyfriend and I are our family & friends go-to pet sitters & we will adjust what we provide based on your pets needs. Currently, I am working part-time at my “survival” job while pursuing education in aesthetics! Although my schedule is busy, I am still very willing to be flexible to your needs! I will likely not be taking pets for in-home care due to our house already having enough animals, but if we ever do take animals in-house, we have a fenced in yard, calm neighborhood for walks, and five of our own pets
16. Raleigh M.
“Raleigh is fantastic with pets! My two Papillions just adore her. She is very patient and has a loving personality that works great with the dogs. They treat her as their best friend!”
17. Leslie A.
“I have used Leslie’s services several times when I have had to travel to look after my elderly Boston terrier and my elderly cat. As both my pets are older and require a few extra requirements (meds and extra walks) I was concerned it might be hard to find someone to fill our needs, but Leslie was an amazing find. She was a conscientious and patient listener when I expressed what Kitty and Belle needed and I knew I would not have to worry. I recommended her to others in the neighborhood and I am so glad we were able to find a trustworthy sitter.”
18. Kira F.
“Kira was amazing! She communicated well with me about all the details and loved on our sweet girl while we were away. I highly recommend using Kira for your pet sitting needs!”
19. Camila J.
“I am very happy with the care Camila gave my dog Bruno. From the first moment, she proved to be very professional, loving and attentive. Bruno felt very comfortable with her, and that is the most important thing for me. She kept me informed throughout the stay, sending me photos and updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she has experience and, above all, a great passion for animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their pets. Thank you for everything!”
20. Maggie W.
“Maggie was absolutely wonderful with my cats. She was an easy choice for me - she communicated professionally, was very cheery at our meet and greet, and listened intently to every detail I shared about my cats. She cared for my cats like they were her own! I highly recommend her!”
