1. Kira D.

“Kira was the perfect fit for dog and house sitting! She is very reliable. She must be a dog whisperer! My dog is usually very unsettled after I return from a trip. With Kira, it was like I never left!! I would highly recommend Kira!!!”


2. Madeleine D.

“Maddie was great, she took good care of our girl and sent plenty of photos . Even helped shovel our sidewalk so the kids could get to the bus stop”


3. Theresa C.

“Theresa took exceptional, loving care of our 2 dogs. Great communication. I will definitely request her services in the future when we travel.”


4. David P.

“David stayed in our house with our dog and rabbit for a week while we were traveling and I could not recommend someone more highly. He was attentive to the needs of our pets and took my dog out on long walks at the park on a daily basis. He sent us pictures and updates frequently and took excellent care of our house. He took out the trash and even vacuumed our house before we came home! David is a one of a kind sitter who goes above and beyond. I will definitely ask him to come back in the future!”


5. Ian W.

“Ian's first housesitting with Carson went very well. He was dedicated to Carson's health and safety especially since there were unexpected thunderstorms. Ian comforted Carson throughout the day and night with lots of care, hugs and belly rubs. Ian was in communication each day and sent pictures as well. Carson had an added play date with Hailey too. Ian was respectful in our home and left it clean. All great qualities when someone is caring for your pet and staying in your home.”


6. Kathryn R.

“Kathryn was so communicative and thoughtful with our pets! Our big dog was being super stubborn due to being on new painkillers while we wait for our surgery date, and Kathryn was so patient and caring with our doggie. It’s always a good sign when our kitty warms up to her quickly too! Moana cat was in her lap immediately! 5/5 absolutely will recommend and already plan to use again!”


7. Kendall M.


“Kendall did a fabulous job watching our dog. We came home to a happy pup! She is so knowledgeable. Our dog has a seizure disorder and we had total confidence she could handle any issues while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”


8. Kadriya B.

“Kadriya was great! She took awesome care of our two pups and was super communicative. We would def book her again!”


9. Jonathan H.
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.


10. Vera R.

“Vera was amazing taking care of my two pups! They get nervous which makes me anxious. Vera sent pictures, and loved my puppies like her own. I highly recommend Vera!”


11. Kaitlyn T.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, giving me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. From playful pups to senior pets, I know how to provide the right care to keep them happy and healthy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just extra love, I treat every pet like my own. I’m currently in between jobs and looking to commit to providing care to your pets full time! I’m available any day from 8-8, with flexibility if needed! I can walk and feed your pets in whatever way best suits you and your animals! I can crate your pet if needed, and can base my care off of how you personally prefer it!


12. Jasmine L.

“I hired Jasmine to be mini-me while I was away. She took care of all my clients dogs just as I would, and that says a lot! She contacted me any time there was a question, and made every dog so comfortable in my home. I am so glad Jasmine and I connected and I truly hope that she agrees to book again. She was a true find.”




13. Robin L.

“Definitely above and beyond the call of duty. 3 nights away and cared for like i was here myself. Took on the challenge of feeding a raw diet to my 5 dogs and passed with flying colors. Didn't mind that they were bed hogs at night. Not small dogs either. Highly recommend!”


14. Thea J.

“Thea was absolutely wonderful! Great communication, wonderful with the pups, kind, tidy and responsible, I can't say enough good things! I can't recommend her enough and will be calling on her first as I need an in-home sitter going forward.”


15. Keleigh L.

“Keleigh is the best! She is so kind and so good to my puppy. She takes penny for walks and also provides me multiple updates. She also made my living room look more together!”


16. Kaylee B.
“When I consider pet care there are several criteria that I begin with. These include work ethic, personality, responsibility, attention to detail, and how the candidate handles my dogs. Kaylee checks all the boxes and then some. Her love of animals is obvious, but she is also firm with them. The dogs understand that Kaylee is in charge. In the end my best test is how my dogs respond, and they love and trust Kaylee. So we do too.”


17. Jaheil A.
“Very relaxed experience! Jaheil overnight boarded my dog Midnight for two nights in a row! No issues at all even sent me videos and pictures to ease my mind while I was away. I’ve known Jaheil for a while and he’s always been outdoorsy and athletic type so I was grateful to see him running around with Midnight at the park unlike other experiences with lazy sitters. I’d highly recommend to anyone seeking a thorough connection.”

About: You can count on me!! No dogs to big or too small we don’t discriminate ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🐾 . (𝔻𝕚𝕤𝕔𝕝𝕒𝕚𝕞𝕖𝕣) Your pup might not ever want to leave Fortunately I was blessed with the opportunity to be able to work at home and pursue my passions. While one of them being a dog specialist, I’m able to understand dog behavior and give insight to those who need it I have a fenced in yard with a 1 year old pitsky and 3 puppies that will always keep your dog comforted and entertained! While also having the option to crate them for nap time if preferred


19. Katie C.

“Katie is awesome, highly recommend using her for your pet needs. She arrived early, allowed us to have a meet and greet before her scheduled pet sitting. She is extremely intelligent, kind and has more common sense than most people that I know! She is thorough in her pet sitting and in tune with the needs of the pet that she is sitting with.”


20. Laura H.
About: I have had cats since I was a baby and had chow chow dogs since I was 13 years old. I also worked at a kennel off and on for 12.5 years. I learned a little training but not a lot. I have worked with all different breeds of dogs. I love snuggling with cats as I grew up with having them in my household. I currently work full time however, full time is 30 hours for me so it allows me to have 3 to 4 days off towards the end of the week depending on the week. We have a large back yard with a dog run and as far as my cat. He is an indoor cat and gets spoiled indoors.
