We had an absolutely amazing experience with Faith! She was incredibly attentive to detail, kept our home spotless, and took such thoughtful care of our pup. You can tell she truly loves animals. She is patient, engaging, and our dog looked happy and relaxed in every update. Her communication was excellent, we received regular photos and updates, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She followed all instructions perfectly and made sure routines stayed consistent. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, detail-oriented, playful, and communicative house sitter or pet sitter, I can’t recommend Faith enough. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Tiffany was great with my animals! She’s smart, kind and reliable. She went above and beyond just walking and feeding. I’d highly recommend her and plan to book with her again very soon.

Sydney is awesome. She loves our dogs…and our dogs love her. She gave them all the attention and play time they could handle and were kept on a schedule that they were used to. She is awesome and our boys can’t wait to have her pup sit them again!

Beth was wonderful. She is so sweet with my little cat and figured out right away how she likes to be pet. I really appreciated her sending pics and letting me know everything was ok. She went above and beyond in her care while I was gone and she is always very punctual and responsible. I’m very glad to have found Beth!!

Elizabeth did a great job watching my dogs while I was away. She handled two pretty demanding dogs with ease and communicated proactively throughout to ensure all my concerns were addressed. I can tell my dogs had a great time with her and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!

We’re so excited to have found Kat. She went above and beyond to make sure the fur babies were taken care of. We appreciate the consistent updates and never felt like we had to worry because she kept us in the loop! She’s 10/10 and will be rebooking again!

Brittany took care of my 2 senior dogs while we were away for 3 days. One of our dogs requires meds 3 times a day, and she is an over reactive dog. Brittany handled a situation with another dog that was off leash very effectively! My dog does not like other dogs, and she picked up my dog to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Overall she took very good care of their needs, even walking them a couple times a day when she could have just let them in the fenced yard. I would definitely recommend Brittany to watch over your pets and give them the best of care.

Marissa took wonderful care of our greyhound, Cash, while staying in our home. She was thoughtful, neat, and left everything very clean when we returned. Throughout her stay, she sent great photos of Cash, which gave us real peace of mind while we were traveling. Most importantly, Cash was very happy and well cared for. We were extremely pleased with Marissa and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful pet sitter.

About: Hey there! As a dog mom, I have a long history of taking care of my own fluffy beasts and pets, starting from a young age. It was my aspiration to become a veterinarian. I began taking care of my families dogs when they became busy. I have experience dealing with sick animals, specifically those prone to seizures, administering medications, injections, and comforting them. I also have experience training lovely, energetic puppies. If you have any questions, please reach out to me! I currently work part-time as a photographer, so my schedule can change depending on that. I'm always open to mornings and lunch times, but please check my current schedule for a more detailed description. I always adhere to the safety measures implemented by the owner(s) of the household and will follow any directions given to walk your pup.

I’ve used Josh several times now and have always been very happy with how well he takes care of my dog and my home. I have a very sweet but reactive dog and he handles him great! I have peace of mind when I’m away with Josh knowing Diesel and my home are well cared for. This past time my flights home were changing frequently due to weather so I wasn’t sure what time I was going to be home. Josh was very flexible and able to work with me which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend him!!

I couldn’t be more grateful for the care Tanya provided our two dogs! They are two rescues who can be a bit challenging at times, but she was so patient, understanding, and handled them with so much love. It gave me a real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. Highly recommend!

Isabella did a great job caring for my two boys while I was away for a few days. She checked in daily with updates and adorable pictures - it was clear my babies took to her immediately which gave me such peace of mind. She was kind enough to water my balcony full of plants for me and kept the house super tidy, I could barely tell she was here it was so nice. Thank you Isabella for being so amazing!

About: I am an experienced cat and dog sitter, either alone or multi-pet household! Having lived with 4 cats and 1 dog growing up and then with raising one cat on my own, I am very familiar with the unique dynamics of a feline + dog, solo dog, or solo feline home (different diets, oral hygiene, cleaning mult. litter boxes, administering oral meds, varying play times). Rest assured, I will take the time to know your pet to ensure they feel safe and loved while you are away <3 Currently, looking for a full time job, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your furbaby! Available anytime and day of the week. I prefer to visit the hooman's home to meet the furbaby and start establishing a relationship. I am very detail orientated and want to know as much about your typical routine, so they don't get as stressed. Some of those details include if they are food and or toy driven, knowing any silly quirks they may have, and grooming (oral hygiene, grooming, etc.) routines!

Sydney watched our 14-year old cockapoo for 5 days while we were on vacation. We met prior to the trip and we went through his specialized feeding schedules. She is very friendly, punctual and Clifford (the dog) liked her. She was willing to stay overnight and house-sit as well as making sure Clifford was taken care of. I will be using her services again if she is available. I felt very comfortable leaving Clifford in her care.
