Hunter has been just wonderful about building a relationship with this new pup who’s on the nervous side. Hunter is calm, patient and takes everything at Hazel’s speed.

An amazing sitter! My dog is always so happy at the end of the days that he gets to see her, and the photos she sends our way shows he is having the best time.

I was most pleased with leaving my cats with Katie for 2 weeks. She came by twice a day to feed and tend the litter box. She was punctual everyday and gave the cats the attention they needed. I will definitely book with her again.

Lejuana did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties. One was sick and needed multiple pills. Lejuana went to great strides to get her to take the meds. Also provided extra TLC for a very unhappy kitty. Would definitely get Lejuana again whenever needed!

Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.

This was our first experience with Rover, and Crystal was awesome. This was a last minute situation that required us to pivot and we took a chance with Rover. We’ll definitely use it again and will reach out to Crystal specifically.

About: I’ve always loved animals. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog. I’m a sucker for helping out special needs animals as well. 2 of my cats are special needs and one of my dogs is as well. I’ve fostered and rescued many (sick and well) animals in the past 8 years. I also have experience with animals (specially dogs) who have epilepsy and neurological issues. I currently work part time so I spend most of my day just hanging with my own animals at home. I have plenty of time during the day for in home visits, walks and feedings during the weekdays (some weekends available as well) I live in a single family house with a nice sized backyard. It isn’t fully fenced in so I take my dog out in a leash for potty break. We go on lots of walks in the neighborhood since it’s a quiet walkable neighborhood

About: I have been taking care of my pets since I was around 10. I have 2 cats and a dog of my own. I foster dogs with my mother, which we have been doing for 3 years and have placed many dogs in wonderful homes. I really enjoy walking dogs and taking them on hikes for whatever exercise they need to get out. I watch a bunch of family friends pets and some people who live nearby to me, so I do have experience with that as well. I’m currently in college, but am home for the summer. I do not have much going on so I am feel all the time basically. I would be able to be very flexible for whatever you pet needs. I have my own dog who loves to play with other dogs if they are comfortable otherwise she has a crate. If your pet is crated I have extra crates if needed and I keep a timely feeding with my dog between 6-7am and 5-6pm. There is always water out. I do have some cats in the home where I reside.

Hunter is an absolutely great pet sitter. She has helped me out well over 50 times and she consistently provides great service. She is good in communication and takes time to form a connection with those in her care. Hunter is a kind person, even delivering dinner to me after my mother passed recently. Such a jewel! I can't recommend her enough!

Lexi did a wonderful job looking after my two ferrets on short notice! She sent great photos and updates, and was very accommodating with their schedule and their needs. I had peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of while I was out of town.
