Kim was a great sitter for us. Super responsive, great communication all along the way, and even brought treats for our cat while we were gone. She cares deeply for animals and will treat your pet like her own. Will definitely use her again!

Shanae was a very dependable and thoughtful sitter for my cat. She was very responsive when I would message her with a concern or request and any time there were any adjustments to the schedule (she cared for my cat for a full month so I expected there would be some schedule changes) she would tell me a week in advance so I would be aware. Although in the end the schedule remained pretty similar to what we planned, it was very appreciated that she always kept me informed and made my cat her priority so as to make sure he got his medications on time. She was also very thoughtful and cared for him as if he were her own. She sent me tons of photos and I looked forward to her updates each time she visited, she never skipped a report. Shanae was awesome and I am so glad and appreciate for her support!

Boning was so responsive from the first time I reached out to her. She quickly coordinated a meet and greet and asked questions about my pets’ schedules and preferences in order to get to know them better. During her visits, she provided detailed summaries and sweet photos of my boys. I could see they were well loved while I was traveling. Boning was a great sitter and I would gladly hire her again in the future.

About: Hello my name is Erin. I work with kids as a school psychologist during the day. I currently don’t own a dog (passed away about a year ago) and really miss dog love and energy. I have had years of experience owning dogs, watching and caring for other pets, even for extended periods of time. I lived for years with a K9 service dog and very old dogs that have needed individualized special types of care. I have crate trained my previous dogs from puppies up. I have seen all sorts of messes, experiences etc. It”s okay and part of being a dog owner! I have a calm, relaxed and loving demeanor. In general dogs seem to really like me and love me later if they get to know me. I’d love to meet your furry baby! My schedule allows me to walk dogs or check in on them and feed them Mon-Fri evenings. I can board your fur baby on weekends only. If I’m boarding your dog they will get a lot of attention and cuddles from both my husband and I. We live in a townhome with a yard. The yard isn’t fenced in all of the way, so I will be going on a lot of walks on leash or hanging out playing in the backyard right there with your dog. Otherwise, your dog will be hanging out with me inside my home. I have a larger dog crate if your dog feels comfortable with crates, or they can sleep in their bed in my room with me. Every dog’s needs are so different.

Katie has house-sat and walked many older dogs since I have known her. She is respectful of the space and animals even sending pictures just to show how well the fur babies are doing with her. She is very communicative and reliable which makes scheduling so easy! I would recommend her to any of my friends who need their dogs or cats watched and have full confidence in her abilities.

Fernanda is an amazing pet sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my two kittens, Sully and Boo. Despite Sully's Manx syndrome and the constant need to check his diaper, Fernanda handled it with utmost diligence and care. She genuinely cared about their well-being and took the time to brainstorm ways to make them more comfortable, even when they weren't in the best mood. I highly recommend Fernanda for her exceptional pet sitting skills and her unwavering dedication. Thank you, Fernanda, for your outstanding service!

We had a wonderful experience with Cora who watched our 2.5 year-old goldendoodle for 2 weeks while we were traveling. Our dog recently had knee surgery and we had to change the dog-sitting plans we had in place due to the limitations during her rehabilitation. We were worried about finding a pet sitter while our pup was still early in the recovery process, but luckily, we found Cora. She was completely comfortable with our dog's surgical recovery and physical therapy needs as she had prior experience with dogs recovering from surgery. Cora was very organized, kind, thoughtful, and gentle with our dog throughout their time together. She went absolutely above-and-beyond by taking her to physical therapy as well as doing daily exercises with her. We could not be more grateful since we returned home to a happy pup who was using her recovering leg! She kept us updated throughout our time away with pictures and videos of her progress. We also returned to a lovely, clean house. We would definitely recommend her house-sitting or walking services to others and plan to use Cora again in the future!

About: I'm a cat lover - I grew up with a cat, and over the pandemic, I fostered two cats for several months each (through Pets in Need)! I'm here to gain as much experience as I can taking care of them, as I'd like to adopt a couple of cats of my own once I've settled down. In the past, I've volunteered at my local animal shelter in my hometown (Alachua County Humane Society back in Florida, though mostly with cats). I briefly dogsat for a puppy with my mom and am also looking to gain experience caring for dogs. In terms of availability, I'm free on weekends. Weekdays, I'm generally free before 9AM and after 5PM. I'm working roughly a 40-hour work week, so I am free on weekends. With enough notice, I am happy to make space on my weekends to care for your pet, whether that's longer-term house-sitting or occasional drop-ins. With regards to cats, I have experience making sure they take their medication and that they don't run outside or get exposed to toxic plants or foods they shouldn't be eating. In my own home, there is no direct access to the outdoors by way of a patio/balcony, so there is no risk of them falling out or getting lost.

Helen's love for animals, particularly dogs, is truly exceptional. With her unique connection to our furry friends, she devotes significant time and effort to their care and well-being. Her dedication is rooted in her personal belief that pets not only give her joy but also offer a healing presence. Helen's capacity to attract pets and build strong bonds with them is remarkable. The mutual love between Helen and any pet under her care is clearly evident, making the arrangement beneficial for everyone involved - the pet, the pet owner, and of course, Helen herself. In addition to her natural affinity with pets, Helen's extensive knowledge and experience in pet care set her apart. She brings years of practical experience in raising and caring for pets, with a focus on creating a nurturing and safe environment for them. Her proficiency ensures peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their beloved pets are in capable and loving hands. For these reasons and more, I wholeheartedly recommend Helen as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Pet owners can trust that their pets will receive the best possible care under Helen's watch.

About: I’ve been a reliable pet sitter since I was 12. Friends, family, and their contacts have relied on me to care for their dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits. I work remotely in molecular biology part time so I can get on my laptop a few hours a day at certain intervals that are even flexible and complete my assignments while caring for pets. An entire part of my job is problem solving and since it’s a thinking job, I can do some of this away from my laptop. Since your pet is most accustomed to your home and I know how important environment is for them, I can watch your pet in your home.

Jessica offered to swing by to meet myself/ my two kitties prior to the dates I had requested her to watch which was helpful for both of us! She easily followed the instructions I gave and sent any updates when necessary. I definitely would recommend her to others and will be booking with her again as well.
