1. Stephanie R.

“Stephanie is a wonderful pet sitter. We have used her a few times now and feel so relieved to have found someone who is highly responsible, communicative, and has great attention to detail. You can tell she a genuine animal lover and overall very professional. The dogs always seem happy and content when we get home and the house is in perfect shape. Highly recommend!”


2. David R.

“We recently had David dog sit for us, and he did a fantastic job! He came over the night before to meet our dogs and get familiar with their routine, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was thoughtful and prepared. While we were away, our flight ended up being delayed by almost five hours, and David stayed longer without hesitation to make sure our dogs were well taken care of. That kind of reliability and flexibility is rare and so appreciated. When we got home, it was clear the dogs were happy, calm, and well looked after. We’re very grateful for David’s care and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and kind dog sitter!”


3. Eric T.

“Eric was wonderful. I have an old ragdoll cat; he took great care of her - feeding, medication, grooming, cleaning her myriad litter boxes - for the two weeks I was gone. It gave me peace of mind to have him in the house. I am so glad I found him - I will definitely use his services next time I travel.”


4. Gillian R.

“Gillian did a great job taking care of the pups. She asked all of the right questions to make sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. She communicated well with comments and pictures. When she came back to leave our key the pups were excited to see her. That’s all I needed to confirm she made them happy.”




5. Elizabeth S.

“Elizabeth is so wonderful - she’s responsible, communicates clearly and often, but she especially is loving and caring to my Dogs. She takes such good care of them, and is so attentive, we feel so trusting that she will take such good care of them when we’re gone. Anyone is lucky to have her as a person taking care of their dogs. Highly recommend!”


6. Chana L.
“Chana is responsible, caring, and mature. You can rely on her confidently knowing your pet is in capable hands. It's a pleasure working with her!”


7. Yhakerra M.

“Yhakerra took excellent care of our Bailey over the weekend. She kept us updated so we had one less thing to worry about while attending our son’s wedding. Will definitely be in contact for any future needs.”


8. Lindsey B.

“Lindsey was an absolute pleasure! She was kind and amazing to our girls! She was a respectful guest and updated us daily. Will be using her again!”


9. Fionnuala S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was only 7/8 years old. I often care for my neighbors, friends, or families dogs if they are on vacation! I have a 9 year old border collie of my own who still needs attention like he’s a puppy, and he’s my favorite thing in the world. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or even if your little fur baby doesn’t like walks we can go to a park or somewhere to play! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including puppies and bigger dogs (I used to take care of an English Mastiff)! I’m currently a part-time student who would love to work around her schedule and watch pets whenever I can! My schedule is flexible and I’m willing to do whatever possible to fit a client in! My current living situation doesn’t allow me to have pets at the time, but that clearly doesn’t stop me from finding animals to love! I am a responsible and respectful person who can be trusted in a client’s home, and cannot wait to see some animals :)




10. Kaitlynn M.
“Kaitlynn was wonderful! She was incredibly responsive from the start, came to meet our pets and learn their routine, and communicated throughout the weekend which eased our nerves about leaving our pets. I would highly recommend her!”


11. Carly D.

“Carly did an amazing job watching our 3 senior dogs (13,14 and 15). We came into town for a wedding and she really made an extra effort to ease their anxiety of being in a new place and without their parents. She did a meet and greet with us the day prior so the dogs could meet her. Carly also texted us with updates throughout the evening so we never had to worry.”


12. Emily M.
About: I've grown up with a dog my whole life and taken care of her personal needs. I also adopted my own cat and have been happily taking care of him for the past 4 years. Neighbors, friends, and a lot of family have come to me to bathe, walk, or care for their pets and I've always obliged happily. My pets routine mixes in with my own, for instance when I eat breakfast, I'll feed my dog and cat their breakfast as well. I set their schedule along with mine so I don't have to worry or stress about their needs. I am currently a senior at RWU and have a pretty open schedule to tend to your needs! My dog goes for at least 3 walks per day to insure she is happy and healthy while also fulfilling her bathroom needs. Making sure your fur babies needs are fulfilled while also keeping them comfortable and happy is the number one part to doing my job the best. Giving love to a lonely pet is my specialty. If you also have a pet that needs caring other than dog or cat, I work on a petting zoo and know how to care for barn animals along with rabbits and ducks.


13. Nicole S.

“What a wonderful caregiver! She truly understood my dog’s anxiety and did everything she could to make him comfortable while I was gone.”


14. Kyra L.
“My name is Kelley and I am a board member for Mountain Rottie Rescue. I personally have 4 female dogs that cannot be in the same room. As of 6/23/23 if you want to look at mountainrottierescue.net I have yoshi, gin and tyson. Krya is a volunteer with us and she is AMAZING with my dogs. I do not trust many people to come into my house as if you let the wrong door open I have dogs that do not get along. I COMPLETELTY trust Kyra so much she comes to my house when I am not home and takes 90 pound female rottie Yoshi out to parks and on walks. You need a good grip on Yoshi as she will lunge and pull when seeing other animals. Kyra completely understands the safety of this and has even taken Yoshi for weekends. Krya handles some harder dogs at my house and she loves them all. You would be lucky to have her pet sit for you if you can book her now! She even checks in on how my dogs are doing when she does'nt see them, she truly cares.”


15. Sara S.
About: I’ve been in absolute love with dogs since Jackson waddled into our lives when I was 9. I’ve been dogsitting cowowker’s’ pups (and cats) for the last few years and love everything about it. Happy to stay in the home; bonus points if the pups “have” to sleep in the bed with me 😁 I have more flexibility over the weekends but am free after 4 during the week. From July-end of August I’m a lot more of a free bird! My current home isn’t big enough for the favorite member(s) of your family, but I am very professional when staying at your home (I’ve never opened a single medicine cabinet). I love that I can keep your pets as comfortable as possible in their own home and am happy to do whatever funny breakfast or night routine that they need!


16. Christy M.

“Christy provided excellent care for our dog throughout her stay with him. She easily established a rapport with him as soon as they met each other. She was cooperative with adhering to all directions left for her. She was proactive in sending lots of pictures, which put our minds at ease. She was very accommodating in adjusting to last minute schedule changes as well. I hope to use her services again and highly recommend her to others!”


17. Judith L.
“Judith is a caring and patient individual who loves animals. I have observed her caring for pets, taking them on walks, feeding them. She is very responsible and all animals love her. Judith would make a great pet sittter and pet walker and any animal would be lucky to meet her. She is absolutely the best.”


18. Kayla M.
About: Hello, my name is Kayla. I am a dog owner looking to care for other dogs. I will treat your dogs as if they are my own, and my own dogs are treated like human children! I love all kinds of animals and will be completely respectful of all your instructions, just as I'd want someone to be with my own pets. I am also happy to send videos from our visits together . I treat peoples homes as if they were my own. I make sure things stay clean and organized. I know how stressful and nerve-wracking it can be to find someone to care for your fur baby, give me a chance and I will provide your baby with all the pets, treats, love and care needed! I currently have a full time job, but always available after 4 and on weekends. Great for someone who works late hours and cant get home to their fur baby. I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own!


19. Kerly R.

“I recently hired Kerly to watch my dog, and the experience was outstanding. From the moment I reached out, Kerly was professional and responsive, taking the time to understand my dog's needs and preferences. During the stay, Kerly provided regular updates on how my dog was doing, which really put my mind at ease. It was evident that Kerly has a genuine love for animals and created a comfortable environment for my pet. When I returned home, my dog was relaxed and happy, which reassured me that he had been well cared for. I highly recommend Kerly for anyone in need of a reliable and attentive dog sitter. Thank you, Kerly, for taking such great care of Cue!”

“Raizel is so gentle and loving for my dog she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with him and took exceptional care of him. Highly reccomend her!”
