1. Stacie S.
“Stacie did a fantastic job with our rescue dog, Ducky. He was relaxed and comfortable and even our kitty. who is generally quite reserved in showing his affections to strangers, came out to snuggle with her. Thanks Stacie! It was such a relief to have our fur people in safe and capable hands!”
2. Lori L.
“We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.”
3. Matt L.
“Matt was great- took good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend and sent pics each day we were away. He left our home clean, stripped the bed, and even shoveled our driveway when we got snow while we were gone! Recommended! Would definitely use Matt again.”
4. Bryana S.
“Bryana was great looking after my cat! She sent me updates with photos, and asked questions when it was warranted. My cat warmed right up to her, and settled in for play time and snuggles. I could tell she connected with him, and that she truly has a way with animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs someone reliable, caring and communicative to tend to their creatures!”
5. Maggie R.
“Maggie is always a good caregiver for our Westie, Archie, who is one year old. Her calm manner seems to be a good match for this feisty little guy. She is reliable and communicates quickly with us, sending photos and notes while we're away.”
6. Haley C.
“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”
7. Kendra K.
“Kendra was professional, prompt, and communicative. Our little pup took to her well, and she clearly enjoyed Kendra's company. Kendra was very conscientious regarding the house. I would recommend her highly.”
8. CJ B.
“For a very active dog, CJ does wonders with Izzy. I never worried once! All the pictures showed a happy dog. Mom was happy to come home to a tired dog after a long day of traveling!”
9. Kaila S.
About: Hello! I'm Kaila, and I own a pet care business called Kai's Paws. All of my reviews, photos, and extra info is on my Facebook page. I was a dog groomer for four years. I am dog first aid and CPR trained and certified. I also have a certificate in dog body language from PackPro. I specialize in dogs but I care for farm animals, dogs, cats, and some exotic animals. I own a bearded dragon, a dog, two cats, and three ferrets. If you have any questions at all, please ask me! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I treat all animals like family! Pet care used to be my full time job, I moved to Massachusetts last year and am looking to resume my well established pet sitting business! I treat every animal like I would my own, and safety is my top priority. I do ask that larger dogs have safe walking gear. I will not use retractable leashes unless it is a small dog with a harness on. I will have better control of your dog and it will be safer if you have a proper fitting harness for your pup.
10. Deanna C.
“Deanna took great care of my dog and my old Vermont house while I was away. My old dog also had a small leg injury that flared up and Deanna was all over it, applying new bandages as needed. My dog loves all the help from Deanna!”
11. Alaina M.
“Alaina is great! She was super patient with our shy dog and incredibly respectful of both her quirks & our home. Will for sure be using her again.”
12. Abby S.
“Abby did a great job with our pets Stout and Bean. She is so kind and loving. She showed up on time and spent extra time with them. She treats our dogs as if they were her own. Highly recommend!”
13. Iris F.
“Iris was absolutely great with our pit bull mix, who has anxiety, and a handful of our feathered friends. She was very flexible with our scheduling needs and we would use her again with no hesitation.”
14. Elias V.
“Eli was always in a household with cats since he was very young. He has two golden retrievers at his home that he totally adores. He has never met an animal that he shows both love and kindness. He has a very calm demeanor and would be more than capable of caring for any animal.”
15. Whytne S.
“I have known whytne for almost 20 years and can wholeheartedly say I would trust her with any of my animals. I would describe her to be the most caring and hardworking person that I know. Which she brings to many aspects of her life. She is always making sure that the people (and pets) around her have what they need. Always putting the well-being of others first. I couldn’t find a better example of a friend, sister, cat mom/dog mom than her. You’ll be in good hands.”
16. Lisa V.
“Lisa has watched my border collie numerous times & frankly - despite my dog being very skeptical of new people - I think my dog likes her better than me now. She only ever gives her the highest quality treats, takes her on looong walks, and utterly pampers the pupper beyond Doggo’s wildest dreams. There are 2 people in all the world besides my spouse with whom I’d trust Doggo, and Lisa is one of them. She really loves animals, is attentive, thoughtful & empathetic as well as diligent & resourceful.”
17. Michelle S.
“I have met many animal lovers in my lifetime, but Michelle is one of the top most loving and passionate pet sitters that I know! She is dedicated and gentle when caring for pets of all sizes, and I am always touched to see her excitement whenever she works with cute pups and kitties. Michelle is so wonderful with animals, I would make her my number one go-to sitter for my pets when I adopt one some day!”
18. Sawyer K.
“Good communication, prompt reply and excellent outcome for our dog. We will definitely use Sawyer again.”
19. Kira K.
“Kira loves all creatures, and has cared for all types of animals her entire life. Animals gravitate towards her. She has been called “the dog whisperer” many times, as she can calm them down and get them to do things that no one else seems to be able to do. She is even able to trim the nails of the most anxious dogs and cats around. Animals have been her life-long passion. So much so that she went to school to become a board certified veterinary technician. She will be able to love and care for all of your pet needs. Taking care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, sheep, goats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. She will be happy to responsibly house sit (either staying at your home or visiting throughout the day) dog walk, play, cuddle, or assist with any medical needs. You will feel confident that your pets will have the best care around, and they will be treated like family ❤️”
