Tracy took such great care of our two cats! She was reliable, kind, and kept us updated, and we came home to two very happy and relaxed kitties. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth was a wonderful sitter for our two Havanese and little parakeet. She sent pictures and updates and was very responsive with texts. Our girls loved her, and we will definitely be asking her to watch them again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them!

Misty and Fiona were a dream team. From the first meet and greet we knew we had found the purr-fect sitters for our "girls". Misty provided daily personal notes assuring us everything was going well and photos to make us smile. 😊 Fiona was awesome getting our shy girl to trust her enough to cuddle and snuggle and play. Our older cat warmed up to them quickly and enjoyed all of the attention. As I told Misty, this is the first time I went away and felt comfortable that our two girls were in safe and loving hands. We are already rebooking them for our next trip in November. We'd highly recommend them if you are looking for more than someone to feed and clean up after your pets.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Over the past ten years, I’ve had dogs of my own and couldn’t imagine life without them. I also have a cat who keeps me on my toes and makes every day brighter. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, big and small, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I currently work from home and I am a full time student. I have a flexible schedule everyday. I will be able to take care of your pet any day I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own—making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy with plenty of play, walks, and cuddles.

Judy did an excellent job caring for our Twin cats Salt and Pepper while we were on vacation. We came home to a clean place and happy cats. Judy provided pictures and great communication throughout the duration of the task. Salt and Pepper would be very exited to see Judy again

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I love animals. I find it an honor for someone to trust me with their furry friends. I work as a free lancer so I’m available most days from 8am-6pm. I can stay the night if needed and am happy to sit over the weekend. When visiting a clients home I make sure that I do what I came there to do and not too much more! I make sure to clean up after pets and leave the way I found it.

Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)

About: When your dog comes to our home, we treat them like our own. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how important it is to find the absolute best care for them while you are away. Having pet sit for family and friends dogs and also fostered several dogs, we have experience with all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs and various breeds. I have two daughters who love to spend time with dogs that come to our house and always give lots of love and attention. I currently only have weekend availability due to recent return to office - happy to help during the week if your dog is used to an 8 hour day normally. Please reach out to see if it is something we can accommodate and you are comfortable with. Most days I will be able to get them out for a bathroom break around lunchtime. I will care for your dog the same you do to keep things consistent for them. We can leave them out if we have to leave or crate them, whichever you prefer.

About: Welcome , we care for your dogs like family! My love of dogs come from growing up with more than 5 dogs at a time in my childhood home back in the Philippines. So, I am used to having and being around multiple dogs at a time. Your pets would be in a loving and caring home where we treat your pets as part of the family. I’m currently working from home. I take my dog on long walks during my lunch break and we would love some company during the day and on our walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I live across a dog park and a community park where I take my dog to play with her favorite ball and to run around.

About: I am reliable and honest and have 30+ years of pet experience. Your pet will be treated like my own fur baby and you’ll come home to a tired pup! I work full time at home with a very flexible work schedule which allows me to accommodate your crazy schedules! I find this helps to break up my days I can accommodate instructions to allow your fur baby to feel at ease when their owners are away. I have found this helps to relieve any stress and anxiety they may have .

About: Ive loved animals my whole life. I've volunteered in two animal shelters working with all animals and have worked in dog daycare. I currently still volunteer in one of those shelters. I also have two cats at home. Working with animals has always been my dream and I hope to take care if your pets to make sure they are happy. While I do not own a dog myself, I enjoy being around them and spending whatever time that I can work them. Your dogs, cats, or any other pet will be very well taken care if and loved while on my care. Happy to help you out when you need it. While i'm a very shy person, I would be happy to speak to you. I have previously worked for two dog daycares. I have volunteered in a shelter with many animals and I am now a pet sitter :) I do not have a fenced yard so they would be brought back inside if in my home or owners home. Whatever is needed for them

Samantha was great! This was my first time booking with her and despite short notice she was able to accommodate a last minute meet & greet to get to know my pup. I left confident our dog would be in great hands and Samantha did indeed help our shy pup feel comfortable in our absence. We loved seeing the pictures and will book with her again.

Haley took wonderful care of our two kitties, Miami and Virginia, through drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly caring, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Haley, for taking great care of them. We would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to work with her again.
