3. Tina B.

“We were a little anxious leaving our girl with "a stranger" for the first time since she adopted us. Tina made the experience so much easier. She was calm and patient and kept us informed while we were away about how our girl was doing. Our house was kept clean and nothing was out of place. We will use Tina's comforting services again!”

“Abigail is a wonderful pet sitter. Over the years she has cared for many cats and dogs with kindness and compassion. Abigail is a responsible, loving, caregiver who treats pets like her own.

7. Erika K.

“Erika was amazing! We plan to use her again. It was our first time using Erika and one thing that really impressed me was that she contacted me because she noticed Remi was shaking her head a lot. Erika was clearly closely watching Remi. She also left our house perfect. I think she mopped because the floors were too clean for a week of dog prints. Thank you Erika!”

18. maranda c.
“I have known Maranda for 13 years now and she has been my family’s go-to pet sitter during that time. She is extremely reliable and loving. When she’s over, she goes out of her way to take my dog for walks and always has the best advice when it comes to animal care. I know that she grew up around all sorts of animals, small and large, so she has a great deal of knowledge when it comes to the area. I highly recommend Maranda when it comes to animal caregiving!”
