“Julia sat for my dog for two nights. She was a wonderful communicator (even before her stay) and provided updates throughout with pictures. I have a high energy dog and she made sure he got plenty of walks and play time. I felt at ease being away and knowing that my dog was in good hands. My home was left exactly as it was found. I will be using Julia again and would highly recommend!”
“Mary was amazing she knew exactly what to do for the weekend while I was away and was able to spend time with my dog Jax and Cat Scout. I will definitely use Mary again in the future”
“I highly recommend Marisa. She took great care of our dog in our home. She sent daily updates and photos while we were away. We returned home to a happy dog and a clean house. Marisa is responsible, reliable, kind and it is evident that she loves animals.”
“Midori is amazing! She took wonderful care of our 5 month old puppy for several days while my family and I were out of town. Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Karina was awesome. The family member who was going to stay with our dog came down with Covid 24 hours before our trip. Karina was responsive, accommodating and took great care of our elderly dog. We highly recommend her!”
“KiAnna was willing to arrive by 6:45 AM so we could depart by 7:15 AM. She took great care of Chester and we will be asking her to house sit and take care of Chester again!”
“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”
“Theresa was amazing with our boy, Remy. We booked with her last minute before leaving on a week long trip. She was extremely accommodating and understanding to our specific needs. Long story short, Remy is a 4 mo old puppy who still needs A LOT of training. Theresa was incredibly patient with our boy, and even spent time training him when we were away. I felt like Remy was safe when he was with her, and she sent pictures and updates every single day. I know that Remy did not make things easy for her, but she stuck it out and took wonderful care of our baby. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Chris took such good care of our dogs. During our initial meeting, he asked follow up questions so that he clearly understood the feeding routine. He asked other questions that let us know he read the profile ahead of time. His daily updates provided excellent information and great photos. We are so happy for what Chris did. We highly recommend him. We will always check his availability when we are going out of town.”
“Gail was terrific. She stayed at my house with our dog, and my son’s dog, for over a week. Both are elderly dogs, are required a lot of special attention. Many walks per day. Special food and medication requirements. We could not be more pleased!”
“Erin was the perfect dog (and house) sitter. We came home to a relaxed and happy senior dog and the house just as we had left it. Erin went above and beyond by bringing in mail and trash can, watering plants and even reached out to see when Riley could go on the lawn after it was fertilized. Erin is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Erin again!”
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!
“I can not say enough good things about Brendon. We had a request to bring our dog to our wedding which Brendon was gracious enough to do. He made sure to do two visits beforehand to ensure everything went smoothly. He was timely, responsive, and sent updates about our dog. Our dog was well taken care of and in good hands. I would defiantly use him again for house sitting.”
