1. Colette S.
About: I have owned cats most of my life and volunteered at an animal shelter throughout high school! Currently I own two duck girlies who are my world. I am widely experienced with dog and cat sitting, frequently sitting for friends, family, and co-workers. I work from home, so I am widely available to care for your pets! I am able to work on weekdays and weekends for as short or as long as you need! I have a fenced yard for your pets to play in safely! I work from home so pets will have lots of fun and supervision.
2. Joanna M.
“Joanna is the sweetest soul. I am so glad we found her here! She is communicative, our pups love her, and she keeps us informed while we are away by sending photos.”
3. Ryan K.
“Ryan is an attentive and knowledgeable caregiver of our puppy, Gio. We love having Ryan watch - be it for a day or an extended period of time. Gio loves Ryan and the other “friends” he gets to play with at Ryan’s home.”
4. Gabriella H.
“Gabby is so sweet and took such good care of Penny! Loved the photos/videos of her walks. We picked up a very happy dog and would definitely use Gabby again.”
5. Wendy S.
“Wendy is really great with dogs! You can tell right away that she is such an animal lover and is the kindest person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again. Thank you, Wendy!”
6. Jessica A.
“Wolfie had a wonderful time with you, Jessica! Thank you! We would be very happy to have Wolfie stay with you again! Thanks for all the wonderful photos and clear communication.”
7. Chanel H.
“My dog stayed with Chanel for a little over 2 weeks - she had such a blast! Booking with Chanel was easy, she is attentive, friendly, and I felt that she took care of my dog very well throughout her entire stay with her! I received regular updates from Chanel. My dog went on plenty of outdoor adventures with her and was truly the happiest dog. Chanel was also very accommodating when I needed to extend my dog's stay with her as well as scheduling the pick-up time. Professional, caring, and communicative. I would highly recommend booking a stay with her! Thank you again!”
8. James T.
“James watched our 14 year old Aussie while we were out of town. He is very conscientious and caring and sent me lots of pictures and updates. One thing to note - his profile says he only takes one dog at a time but he had another dog for the weekend and a daycare dog when we arrived. Despite that, he did a great job of introducing the dogs to each other in the back yard and my dog seemed to be completely at ease at his house. His fenced back yard is a great bonus for dogs like mine who prefer to be outside!”
9. Cara O.
“Cara took very good care of our sweet Sunshine. She was kind and careful with our instructions on meals and medications. She sent great updates and photos, and we felt at ease being away from our little baby. Her home is a wonderful environment for dogs. Thank you Cara!”
10. Hannah W.
“Hannah is fantastic!!! Our dog, Winnie, has stayed with Hannah and her precious dog, Bubbles, several times for long overnight stays as well as drop in visits. Winnie is always super happy to see them both! Hannah is a fantastic caregiver and takes amazing care of Winnie! We are so grateful for her!!!”
11. Nancy E.
“Nancy is simply wonderful! She is the most caring and loving soul and made Bella's stay fantastic! Bella is a senior dog who has anxiety. In Nancy's care Bella ate and slept sand made a new best friend! I cannot day enough good things about how well Bella was cared for and what a relief it was for us to know she was in loving hands 🩷”
12. Vivian G.
“Vivian helped with a last minute request to watch our pup. She was really flexible with our changing needs and we were happy our dog stayed with her for a few hours while we visited the zoo. Very friendly and responsive.”
13. Kathy G.
“Kathy G was a wonderful host. Our dog immediately clicked with her when she came to our house for a meet-n-greet. I knew right away that our pup would be in good hands with her during our 6-day vacation. Kathy even came to pick up our dog and then drop her off at the end of her stay, which was very convenient for us. I would definitely book her again should the opportunity arise. Highly recommended!”
14. Rocco C.
“Rocco is a very smart and responsible person. He has had dogs in his life since he was born. He has always treated them calmly, gently and warmly. He seems to understand animals and finds joy when he’s around any dog or cat. He went through training at the Humane Society to be an animal volunteer when he was 14. He did that purely on his own to gain experience and to learn how he could help others. He truly loves animals and loves taking care of them. I would trust him to take good care of my dogs anytime.”
15. Joseph L.
“Cooper had a great time and was exhausted when he came home. Joseph has a nice environment for dogs in the city with a fenced yard. There were other dogs so they had plenty of playtime!”
16. mary s.
“Mary is a capable, fun and reliable dog person. We have been very happy with her every time she has sat our two dogs, Rabil ( an 80 lb lab shepard mix) and Lulu (a 10 lb maltese mx)”
17. Stacey P.
“Malachi had a great weekend staying with Stacey! It was super easy to book with Stacey and she was very accommodating. I just moved back into the area and she saved me by watching my pup on short notice. She let us come for a meet and greet to ensure my pup would feel comfortable and would get along with the other pups. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and I loved receiving the photos of my pup during his stay! I will definitely use Stacey’s services again and highly recommend!!”
18. Owen B.
“We were traveling during holiday. I'm glad found Owen in the last minute for staying one night. Our dog is a one year old teenager corgi. He took good care of our puppy. And he's very nice spending time play and walk with him. He sent me multiple pictures during the stay. I think our puppy became good friends with Owen. Highly recommended Owen if anyone need to leave their dog for a little vacation.”
19. Gurudatt P.
“Amazing experience for our pup! Gurudatt and his family took our pup on walk, free play and treated him like one of their family. Thank you!”
