Jeffrey is wonderful! He is very attentive to my dogs. I think they may love him more than me now! Even my standoffish dog warmed up to him quickly. He sends pictures and updates daily, and even put my garbage out without being asked! I highly recommend Jeffrey for your pet sitting needs!

Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)

Suzanne was great! My husband and I were in a bind and needing a sitter for our Chihuahua almost at a moments notice. She listened to his needs we explained and was very thorough with any questions she had. We will definitely be using her again.

Kristin was amazing! She stayed with my two dogs for three nights, including the Fourth of July. She kept me updated at all times, sent videos, photos, and message updates. I felt very relaxed knowing she was with them. One of my dogs has leash reactivity and Kristin handled it very professionally and well. No incidents occurred with her. I even came home to a clean home! She said she wanted me to be able to relax when I returned. I will definitely use her again! Absolutely incredible service.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Isaiah!! He was SO good with all our animals and not only took amazing care of them, but also took such great care of our home. We were gone for a week and so nervous to leave our babies, he came for a consultation and immediately put our worries to rest. Throughout his stay, he sent constant updates and pictures. He is kind, reassuring, responsible and trustworthy. We are SO thankful to have found him. We 10000/10 recommend! Thanks so much again Isaiah, you are the best!!

About: I’ve cared for everything from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs! We’ve trained them as puppies and cared for them to their last days. They are family. I’m currently working as a part time substitute in Lexington 1. I make my own schedule during the school year. I love teaching special education. I have a large fenced yard. We divided it up into two sides. We also have a huge dog house with air conditioning and beds.

Rachel always makes me feel at ease when she’s with our dogs! She sends frequent updates and I really feel she loves them like her own. To top it off, we had flight issues that made it so we would be gone two extra nights and she was willing to go the extra mile and stay with them despite having her own life and responsibilities. We are just feeling so grateful for Rachel!

Haley took care of our 5 cats and 1 dog during an overnight visit. All of our kids seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Our extremely shy cats even came out shortly after she arrived -- this means they felt very safe with her. We were impressed; she has a demeanor that makes pets feel very safe. She took great care of everyone, and also gave medication to one of our cats. She sent several photos of our kids, which we appreciated.

Morgan was fantastic! This is my first experience with a pet sitter and I am beyond impressed! My dogs absolutely love Morgan. She was so attentive to their individual needs and sent multiple text updates, pictures and video. I was totally at ease while away from home. Morgan went above and beyond with my boys and even took care of laundry and cleaning. My home was actually in better condition than when I left. I cannot recommend Morgan enough and I will absolutely use her in the future. Give her a try! I guarantee that you will be beyond impressed!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. Now, I am a dog mom of 3 beauties. I have a 16 yr old shitzu terrier mixed,3 yr old a pit bull , and a 6 months English bull dog! I got out of the medical field, and have now devoted my lifestyle to my at home marketing and being a full time dog mom! I’m skilled in handling dogs of all sizes and all energy levels. I love teaching new tricks and commands. I wanted to pursue dog training once and tend to mimic a lot of tips that stick with me. Communicating with dogs comes really natural to me, and I love on all of the different personalities I’ve met. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! ****I am also able to assist with any oral medications your pet may have. I have a very flexible schedule to where I work from home. My schedule is pretty open throughout the week. If I’m not working Rover, I’m home being a dog mom! In my clients home I will follow instructions as given. I own a crate if needed, I prefer not to crate if in my care. I’m always loving on my fur babies🥰

We met with Kelly before our trip. She was VERY good with both of our boys. We were very comfortable with leaving her at our home to take care of them. I would VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kelly. Kelly provided walks, playtime and lots of snuggles which allowed us to enjoy our family reunion. Thank you so much Kelly!!

Highly recommend Melanie. She is very friendly and caring. She provided excellent care for our fur babies while we were out of town for a week. She kept us updated, and sent photos so we could keep a connection with our girls. The house was neat and tidy upon our return. Would definitely have her watch them again.
