I believe this is the 3rd time using Bonnie.... but as always my pets were taken care of. Apparently my cat is warming up to her very well because he gets the zoomies and was playing with her. Lol! She just does exactly what is needed and gives them a lot of attention.

This was my second time booking with Mandy and again she is so amazing with my fur babies, and she was on time for all the visits. I’ve had a hard time finding someone to handle my big dog and she does it with such ease !!

This was the longest we’ve ever been away from our dogs, and honestly—I wasn’t worried for a second. Emily is just that good. Her communication is always on point, and I can count on her without hesitation. My dogs absolutely love her, and it shows in every photo she sends—big smiles, happy corgi tails, and all the good vibes. She truly goes above and beyond every time, and we’re so grateful for the care and love she gives our pets. Highly, highly recommend.

Jennifer was wonderful with my cat. She communicated very well and kept me updated during her visits. When she had trouble finding my cat one day (because he was hiding way better that I thought he could), she took extra time to check the house thoroughly for him and made sure he had everything he needed before she left. Highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter in the area!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and family. They have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and care for their pets when they needed the help. I also have pets of my own and cared for senior pets and the youngins. I’m currently not reaching the hours I need at my job and have a flexible schedule. So I can easily fit side quests in and would love to use that spare time to care for some furbabies! I love to be active and get out, so I am able to walk dogs/puppies and play with them. I also have alot of patience for pets who are shy. I love cats so much and understand their boundaries and when they are scared. I am really good with getting pets out of their shells and socializing.

Hannah did a great job- it's so nice we didn't have to worry about the pups while we were traveling! We loved getting pics of the boys and could rest easy knowing they were in their own environment. Clean litter boxes and kitties not desperate for attention when we returned was a huge bonus! Will definitely book again! Thanks!!!

Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: I LOVE my doggos. I have had a dog in my life since I was 4, large and medium are typically my bread and butter. I know the little dogs can be timid but I can snuggle them until they tolerate me 😬. I am a millennial dog/cat mom, so you know I love scritches, belly rubs, snuggles, and giving treat-o’s. My dog doesn’t fetch but I’ll play with yours til the cows come home! I worked for a dog groomer as the bathing attendant for two summers as a kid, so if your babies need a quick bath while I’m there, depending on how they can handle it with a new person, I am available. I’m versed in giving pets medication, so no need to worry if your pupper needs a little something to help them stay healthy! I work from home full time currently, but if I need to leave during the day to go check on your fur baby/they’re on a bathroom/medication schedule, my boss is very lenient and lets me make up time. Walks would primarily only be available in the afternoons/evenings to avoid the heat around here. I am very organized and like to write down any rules/quirks/schedules that your pet needs to be on. I’m also not afraid to ask/answer questions, so if you’re open to conversations via the app, I’m your girl! There are pet walking areas within minutes of my home that I can take your pet to, if you feel comfortable with that, or I can walk them around the neighborhood, also.

About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.

Jurnee did an amazing job checking in on our two pups while we were away for the weekend. She was extremely accommodating and understanding of our wild pups that are full of personality. She didn’t skip a beat and went above and beyond! Will definitely utilize her services again!

Brandy did a phenomenal job with our pups while we were away. Bad weather altered the usual care for them and she adapted well. With her, I know our babies are well taken care of when we are away.

Will definitely be keeping Emily on deck for taking care of my pups. She's super easy to work with and communicative, remembered everything I told her about my babies, plus I love getting a half dozen photos of my dorks mid-work day.
