5. Brandon S.
“I've known Brandon since 2009, and one of the first things you learn about him is how kind and loving he is to animals. He is always the first person to befriend a pet in any situation with ease and he definitely has a way with them. My parents have had three different dogs during the last 15 years, and every single one has LOVED him! My old lady kitty who usually wants to be alone even loves him and is constantly going to him for attention, which is why I now ask him to watch her for me when I go out of town. Brandon is very responsible and considerate of anything the pet needs, he's loving and compassionate with all animals, and he would be a perfect choice for you!”
6. Sharon S.
“Sharon is absolutely WONDERFUL! She was able to accommodate a last minute request to care for Nala. Nala is a high anxiety dog and I always worry when I have to leave her. She immediately came up to Sharon during the initial meeting and showed no anxiety. Sharon let me know how my dog was doing and her behavior. Sharon was on time and provided excellent communication. 100% recommend Sharon.”
7. Ashley R.
“I cannot recommend Ashley enough as a pet sitter! Their genuine love for animals and exceptional care truly stand out. Ashley has extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, including [dogs, cats, birds, etc.], and it shows in the thoughtful and professional approach they bring to every pet they watch. From the very start, Ashley took the time to understand my pet’s unique needs and routines. Whether it was ensuring meal times were consistent, giving medications with care, or offering plenty of playtime and affection, Ashley exceeded all expectations. My [dog/cat/etc.] absolutely adored them and was always happy and relaxed when I returned. What sets Ashley apart is their attention to detail and reliability. They provided daily updates, including pictures and notes, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could see how much they genuinely cared for my pet, treating them as if they were their own. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced, Ashley is the perfect choice. I would not hesitate to call on them again and feel confident recommending them to anyone who wants the best care for their furry family members.”
