1. Samantha P.
“Samantha is the best house and pet sitter! Both my pets are recent rescues and are a handful. She treated them as if they were her own, and sent me updates and pictures of them throughout my time away. Her communication skills are wonderful! I always felt like I knew what was going on at home, almost like I was there. When I came home, she had even cleaned the house! She truly went above and beyond. I would love to hire her again for my next trip and I highly recommend her to others!”

“Aubrey was great staying with our cat for the weekend. She's responsive, sends lots of pics, and left our place cleaner than it was when we left!”

About: I’ve taken care of two puppies one my family’s and the other a foster. I love dogs and cats and I want to educate myself more on them. I am volunteering at the local animal shelter so I can improve my experience with animals. Although I am new that doesn’t mean i’m not just as qualified. I’m now a college student so not seeing my puppies has made me sad so I want to see more dogs and cats frequently. Evening walks are my favorite but I have a lot of time I could care for your animals. I love giving love to animals so walking or playing with your animal will bring me joy and your animal. I’m very respectful of people and animals.

“Sabrina was a life saver. We were very nervous but she shared pictures with us daily and took care of our boy while we were gone. Couldn’t be more pleased.”

About: I've owned dogs my entire life and have been watching dogs for 14 years and absolutely love it! I'm great with all breeds and temperaments. I'm always happy to take them for walks, play fetch, or just cuddle on the couch. I know how important it is to find a trustworthy sitter for your furry friend. I'll send you daily updates and photos so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can also help with things like administering medication, feeding special diets, or taking them to the vet if needed. I'm here to make your life easier! I’d love to meet you and your dog to see if we're a good fit. We can chat about their routine and any special needs they may have! I’m home all day with the dogs! So you never have to worry that they’ll be lonely, I live alone so it makes it very easy to travel to you or to have your pup stay here! I have a dog friendly complex with a lot of grass and live very close to a meadow that the dogs love to run and play fetch in! I also have a cozy apartment, the dogs can either sleep next to me or I literally have a room just for my dogs, with beds, toys, crates. The works but you can always bring their own bed if wanted!
