7. Elise L.
“5/5 isn’t enough, 10/10 would recommend! Elise went above and beyond my expectations! She cleaned up after my cats even vacuuming up litter when I told her she didn’t have to. She played with the one that likes playing and left the antisocial one alone. She also had great communication and made sure I was in the know! She was amazing! Will definitely go with Elise for any future pet sitting needs!”

“Victoria was amazing with our two kitties. She was caring and attentive, and she was very helpful during a time that we were all anxious (kitties included) because we were in the middle of a move to a new home. She helped the kitties feel more comfortable and she put my mind at ease by keeping me fully updated. She was also very accommodating to changes in our schedule. I highly recommend her and we will definitely use her again in the future!”

“You couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter or walker. My dog has been well taken care of and loved for several years. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this caregiver. Your pet will be in good hands with someone that truly loves and understands how important pets are and they will be treated like family.”

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal you can since I was little. I worked at a kennel for two years and during my time there I trained(including my own service dog!), walked dogs, played with all sorts of animals, bathed and grooms all breeds of dogs. My favorite breeds are the large dogs! I hope to meet you & your furbaby soon! I work full time night shift sunday-wednesday so morning and night time walks are always perfect. During my off days I would be available 24/7. I don’t offer in-home services so it would depend on the client but on walks and outdoor playing I would make sure that all harness/leash/collars are on correctly and that all gates are locked/shut properly.
17. Jodi B.
“I asked to drop in and let my 90lb Lab out during lunch times. She sent pics and updated me on how he was doing. She did a great job and I know gave my doggie some extra loving while we were gone. Absolutely will recommend to anyone and will request her again!”
18. Hunter F.
About: I've always had multiple dogs and cats growing up that I learned the proper way to care for at a young age. I currently have 3 German shepherds, 2 cats, 2 chickens and 2 guinea pigs so I am well diverse in pet care. I mold what I do to the animals needs to ensure they are getting the best and healthiest care possible I work full time Monday through Friday. Mondays and Fridays I do work remote and off every day by 3pm, which works out best because evening walks are always so pleasant. Caring for your pets in your home will be as stress free as if you were there. They will be treated as if they were my own. I will stick to your diet instructions, plenty of enrichment and play and companionship all while making sure your belongs pet is safe.
19. Danielle N.
“Danielle did a wonderful job with my two pups! It was the first time for my very timid large dog to have a sitter and he took to her immediately. She sent me updates with pictures at each visit and perfectly followed all my instructions. She even cleaned up my kitchen! I would definitely book her again.”
20. isaiah c.
“Not only is Isaiah one of the kindest people I've met but he treated my pets like his own. He followed all of my requests and instructions to the letter and always made sure they were healthy, happy, and well loved when in his care. My dog loved his walks with Isaiah and even most anti social of cats grew to adore him. Definitely recommend”
