“Monique because it’s delightful! My dog loved her! She took my dog for a walk and played with her. She reported with pictures couple times a day. My house was in great order when I came home. She even pulled the sheets off the bed and washed them for me. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her service.”

“Rachel is the best! Very professional and responsive. My dogs love her and are always well cared for while I’m away. She always leaves the house clean and is such a thoughtful house/ dog sitter. Will definitely be using Rachel again and again! She’s very reliable, loving towards the dogs, and when she’s watching the dogs/house we know we don’t have to worry about a thing. Peace of mind is amazing to have while on vacation.”

“Tatum was wonderful. She took exceptional care of our dogs and left the apartment exactly how we left it. Great attention to detail regarding care instructions and exceptional communication. Highly recommend.”
About: I was born and raised on a farm so I have raised many different kinds of livestock and house pets. Animal care is one of my favorite things about living on the farm and I will treat your furry family members as one of my own. I am currently working a 4 days a week, 10 hours a day. I am able to get away during the work day for about an hour, so in that time I can come and let your pet out to potty or give them more food. On the days I am not working, I am completely free to be with your pet for as long as you need me. I will vary my care based on the situation you have at your home and on your pets temperment (ex. going to the park, walking on the sidewalk, or sticking to the yard).
“My dog was very well cared for and loved on for 10 days I was gone. The house looked great as well. She kept me informed and provided videos throughout her stay. Would highly recommend for overnight stays if needed and care for your pets.”

About: I am an animal mom of several years of cats, dogs. I have two cats and I did have a dog. I know of the general care of animals. I go above and beyond taking them in as my own. I respect their personal boundaries. I would have to come to you. I do work full time in the evenings from Tuesday to Friday generally from 3-11pm. For dogs walking ill take them on hour long walks, if we find a field ill play fetch. I am very good at following instructions to a tee. As well as administratoring meds. I am very comfortable with that. Hey I'm working full-time in the evening. Usually tuesday through friday from 3-11, but I am home every morning and weekends. I cant wait to share my space with your furry babies. I do live in an apartment, so for dog care I would come to you. I also have two cats that are cat and dog friendly.

She is a great choice. So obvious see loves animals very much. I would use her again and again! Thanks Winnie!”

“We had a great experience with Lauren. She bravely took on a job no one else seemed to want, which was house-sitting and dog-sitting for two 6 month old puppies who are not yet house-trained. Housebreaking chihuahua puppies is a lot of work. (We're still working on it...), so this job required an extra dose of patience and diligence. Lauren sent us updates and photos of the puppies while we were away. She also kept our large selection of house plants alive, which is another job unto itself. I can't recommend Lauren highly enough, Anyone who gets Lauren to house or dog-sit is very lucky! We hope to hire her again next time we travel. She is trustworthy and responsible, and our pups love her too.”
“Joey was a wonderful sitter for our dog and two cats and for watching our house while we were away. I know they enjoyed his company and he was great at checking in and sending photo updates. Everything was clean upon our return and the pets looked like they just had a vacation too :-) Highly recommend Joey and hope to be able have him watch our pet family again!”

About: I’ve grown up with a wide variety of pets and have been missing hanging out with furry friends since moving into my dorm this year. I have experience both owning and looking after pets at every age, from puppies to elderly dogs (who will forever be puppies in my heart). I’m also experienced with giving dogs medicine. Pets hold a special connection with us and they deserve the best most attentive care during their whole lives. I am a senior in college so my schedule is relatively relaxed. Typically my days consist of no more than 2 in person classes, giving me time in the mornings and evenings either before or after class. Though I cannot offer housing myself I can easily look after your pet in the comfort of their own home. I always request meeting with you prior to sitting in order to become accustomed to your style of pet parenting and insure I am able to give your pets the exact type of care they need. This can range from regular walks, feedings at specific times, or even just spending time with an anxious pet. I will always do whatever possible to make your furry friend as comfortable and happy as they can be!
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Leah to look after my dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the initial meeting, Leah showed genuine warmth and care towards my dogs, making me feel completely at ease. She provided regular updates with photos which helped ease my worries about leaving them with someone new. My dogs seemed so happy and well-exercised. I came back to happy dogs and a spotless home! I highly recommend Leah to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. It’s clear that she loves animals and truly cares about giving them the best care possible. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: My partner and I have taken care of dogs for many years. We have experience in training stubborn puppies. We know they are still learning manners and house etiquette, and have the patience to love them anyways. We love large dogs who love to cuddle, we love high energy dogs who love to run, and we love the tiny little ones who think they’re the biggest of all. All dogs from birth are called itty bitty little babies and will be loved unconditionally. No pup will be left without mandatory hugs and kisses. Since we have 2 Labradors of our own, we know that it’s important to keep them active. We have long walks every day, and we live within a mile of multiple parks where we can take them. We offer many toys and treats for quiet times, and we have minimum of 30 minute training sessions at least once a day. We believe in taking them outside many, many times a day. And nothing is better than outside play time.
“Elena is amazing. I think our doggy, Utah was in heaven. She walked him and played with him and even took him to the river. She sent me picture and video updates 😍 I highly recommend her and will definitely check with her next time I need a sitter.”

“Kailie took such great care of our animals that they were hardly even excited to see us when we came home! Our dog, Sammie, definitely bonded with Kailie and is over-the-moon when she comes over. Thanks for taking such great care of our furry friends!”
