1. Nariah B.
“Nariah was great! Took great care of my jazmine and even brought in a perishable package that was delivered and put it away for me. I mistakenly put the wrong address on my reservation and Nariah was understanding and still was able to help me out for the weekend. Will definitely use her again.”
2. Melissa B.

3. Travis P.
“I can't recommend Travis enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter and dog walker! He has an incredible way with animals—whether it's dogs, cats, or even the more exotic pets, every creature instantly warms up to him. Travis is patient, attentive, and genuinely loves all animals, which shows in how happy and relaxed pets are in his company. If you want the peace of mind to know that your pets are with someone who is as concerned and careful about their well-being as you are, look no further!”

9. Tamara C.
About: I take care of all animals in my care, mine or not. I never yell and I don't abuse any animal. I treat them as my own and I make sure that their tail wags every time that they see me. I am currently watching animals as a part time gig as I have a full time job. House sittings are my most popular but I also have many drop in requests as well. I work full time so unless I am doing a house sitting or the place is close by that I can do a fly by, I am not available in the morning most days except weekends. Your dog is never out of my sight unless I allow they are secure in a crate. Any thing that brings me concern will be immediately brought up with you and I will find any solution I can to help.
10. Marchauna B.

11. Jessica A.
About: I have 12 years of experience in loving and doting after fur babies. Experienced in senior care and medication administration. I WFH and own my home. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule. I am able to accommodate your pets needs and host in my home or come to yours. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly mini-pincher to keep your pet company. I have 3 floors of living space and can comfortably and safely host your pet.
12. Kathryne G.
“Kathryne is great with dogs! She is very patient and caring an you can tell how much she loves dogs by how she cares for her dog, Bailey. She has always been very kind and sweet to my sometimes difficult dog Sophie, which I have always really appreciated. If you want a sitter who will treat your dog like family, then you should book with Kathryne. ”
13. Paul W.
“Paul has stolen my dogs hearts! They are excited, exhilarated and anxious to go with him which demonstrates the kindness and care he gives them when they are with him. He plays with them, takes them for walks in the park and supervises their play in his big back yard. I also get photos of my babies when I am traveling. I will continue to board them with him rather than a kennel. You will delight in the care he provides for your four legged family members.”
14. Brandon S.
“Brandon will be perfect for Rover because he is trustworthy and loves all animals. He cares for animals wholeheartedly and will always be sure to keep them safe in all situations.”
15. Crystal A.
“I have one wire fox terrier and one boxer (he's 100 pounds) and crystal stayed with them an entire month and everyday I got pictures, updates, and so my babies having a GREAT TIME! Crystal also took care of my plants, house dusting, and brought in all my mail. It pained me when I moved from the city, because after six months I have not been able to find someone as good as Crystal. You can 100% trust her with your fur babies!!”
16. Khalilah B.
“Khalilah is the absolute best in what they provide in terms of care. I have a cat and dog that they have shown immense care for in the past. It takes my dog some time to warm up to new people, but I knew in the instant Khalilah was a great soul as my dog took a liking to them immediately. Khalilah also has experience working in the pharmaceutical/medical industry and has a good, empathetic touch for care, patience, and kindness for people, and they provide that exact same care and empathy to pets. Please look no further as Khalilah is the best for the work. Highly recommend them for their good spirit!”
17. matt M.
“Matt was great, he stayed in constant contact and sent pictures of every visit while he was watching our dog Rocco. He even brought in packages and cleaned up after Rocco.”
18. Kathryn C.
“So helpful. My dog was uncooperative yet Kathryn still did all she could to follow through with her service to the best of her ability. Very honest and communicative. I just feel bad my pup gave her a hard time.”
19. Alexa B.
“Alexa has been my house/pet sitter for a while now. She has always been great with the dogs and willing to work with their schedule. We have never had any problems and I am happy to give her my recommendation.”
20. Ellen M.
