1. Reba C.

“Reba was truly the best pet sitter we could have ever asked for! She watched our animals overnight for four nights while we were out of state over the holidays. She is incredible and went above and beyond in every way. Im naturally anxious when leaving our animals, but Reba quickly calmed any nerves I had. She sent updates throughout the day with multiple photos/videos attached each time. It was noticeable that all of our animals absolutely loved her and each one got more than enough individual play time/attention. We couldn’t recommend Reba enough and feel so fortunate to have had her taking care of our babies! 😊”

“Betty was wonderful! Bo enjoyed taking long walks with her, we got updates and pictures each day and our pets were happy when we returned. Our house was clean and well cared for, and she even washed our sheets and towels. Betty handled everything we asked of her without complaint. We will use her again! Highly recommend.”

18. Emily H.
About: Let me begin by saying I LOVE animals. My family and I have always had dogs and cats ever since I was a child. I have experience in house sitting and caring for multiple dogs at a time, as well as administering medication. As an owner of a 7 year old German Shepherd named Oliver, and his younger siblings that are 4 year old German Shepherd/Husky mixes named Mango and Wylie, I completely understand the hesitancy in trusting a stranger to care for your fur babies. I love every dog like they are my own. I also have experience in taking care of cats and cats that are elderly. I had the opportunity to take ownership of a 20 year old cat, and I got to love and care for her for the last two years of her life. I am currently in between jobs and working towards a certification online. Which means, my availability to care for your pet is very flexible and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. I care for your pets with the utmost love, care and flexibility. If there are routines/rules in place, I will abide by them strictly, as I understand that sometimes diverting from those routines can be traumatic for your dog. Routines includes meal times, treats, walks, being let out to use the bathroom and playtime. If you are looking for photo updates as well, I’m more than happy to send those over.


19. Jessica A.

“Jessica was great! She made sure everything went smoothly and my dog seemed to have a good time while I was away. Thankful for her quick response at the last minute to come stay at the house with my puppy.”

“Elonda was a wonderful Pet Sitter! She watched my dog while we went out of town. They were fed and kept clean when we arrived back. We will definitely use Elonda again!”
