Heather was wonderful, my Husky pup seemed to feel very at ease with her and she understood him and his quirks very well. I also really appreciated all of the photos and updates she sent!

Julie is an excellent sitter and she went above and beyond for us while watching our 1yr old chocolate lab puppy and house when we were on vacation. She made it really easy for us and had excellent communication the whole time, sending us updates while we were away to let us know our fur baby was OK. Julie was flexible to our needs and requests and really stepped up to help us and did an amazing job all around. When we came home, our house was very clean and our dog was very happy! All around great experience and I would highly recommend Julie and would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you SO much Julie you are the best and we really appreciate you!

I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.

Lori went the extra mile to ensure that our boy Monty was well cared for while we were away. She even sent us several photos so we wouldn’t worry about him and made an extra trip to the house to be sure that the temperature was comfortable for him.

Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.

About: They/them pronouns; unfortunately for health reasons I can only work with non-smoking households. We can negotiate, if smoking is only ever done outside. I sometimes work with my spouse, especially if there's more than one dog in the home or you'd like me to stay overnight (this is for my safety), to make it even easier for your pet to receive the walks and attention they need. I will bring this up when we talk, giving you an opportunity to let me know if you're okay with us working as a duo or not. I have never lived in a home without dogs or cats for more than a year. Furry friends are vital to me and I understand how wonderful and magical it is to have each unique pet in our lives. I have 10+ years of daily cat care experience, and 15+ of daily dog care experience. Additionally, I have previous employment history working directly with puppies under 6 months of age, and playing with and doing basic training for dogs in need of plentiful stimulation. My own cats have sensitivities and quirks that require special care, and I'm ready and qualified to listen to and adhere to your loved one's unique care needs. I also have experience with senior dogs and love to work with them! <3 At this time I am able to devote my full day/night into looking after your pet! Every day my spouse and I work from home and care for our cats. I am able therefore to give your pets the same VIP attention and care throughout the day, any day of the week. The only exception is that sometimes I have 2-3 hour as-needed work outside my home to meet client demands. When this happens, I know in advance and will be able to communicate with you clearly if I can't be with your pet 24/7 on a specific day before we commit to anything. For me, the biggest concern is your pet's safety and comfort. I keep a watchful eye on all pets in my care to ensure I know where they are and what they're doing, and I keep their environments free of debris and hazards. I also want to make sure all toys used are approved by you, so there's nothing unexpected. Food will be given exactly as instructed, and I treat health conditions and unique needs and concerns for your pet with the utmost responsibility. I also will treat your home with respect and leave things as I find them. Your instructions and preferences will be followed to a T.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of pet sitting experience caring for all kinds of furry (and feathery!) friends. Over the years I’ve looked after dogs, cats, chickens, and rabbits, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including diabetic care, incontinence support, young puppies and kittens, and pets who just need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is always to keep your pets safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. At home, I share my life with my husband, step-daughter, our Golden Retriever, our cat, and our adorable Holland Lop rabbit, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your animals. I treat every pet I care for like they’re part of my own family—with plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. Whether your pup needs a fun walk or your cat needs quiet companionship, I’d love to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm available for daily dog walks, cat-sitting and house-sitting, and occasional weekend or weekly boarding. Rest assured that your furry friends will get plenty of attention and snuggles while in my care. I care for your pets as if they are my own. When coming in to your home, I am respectful of privacy and boundaries and will follow the routine provided with the utmost care and love.

Kari did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Butters! She took care of his medical needs and was very good at communication, providing us routine updates and photos. She also left the house clean, which was greatly appreciated. We would be happy to have Kari back to help us out in the future and highly recommend her!

Heather did such a great job at our house while we were away on an international trip. She sent photo updates and was always prompt to respond if we checked in with how things were going. She was very understanding of our dogs specific breed and we felt very at ease leaving him and our cat and chickens in her care. They seemed to have a great time with her and we came home to a very clean house which was lovely! This was our first time using an in home pet sitter and we would highly recommend Heather and her services!

Chandler took wonderful care of our two dogs and cat. He kept us updated with lots of pictures and it was clear from every photo that they were having a great time. It is always nerve-wracking leaving your fur-babies behind, but Chandler’s frequent check-ins and obvious affection for Moon, Ellie, and Star made us feel completely at ease. He is reliable, kind, and treated our home with respect. We will definitely be asking him to watch them again!
