“Absolutely wonderful sitter. Literally zero complaints, she was communicative, helpful, took notes on the goods and the bads, went above and beyond to provide service for my pets. Absolutely will be using her again, first choice.”
“As always, Sidney was wonderful! We got a new kitten since her last sitting, and she did a great job with the alternate feeding routine and keeping our older cat and the new kitten comfortable.”
“Fawn has been a complete lifesaver! I didn’t know what to do as I had booked a long trip and then found out that my dog was pregnant. She not only took care of my dog but her 11 puppies as well and was there for them in the most thorough and considerate way. She kept in touch with me daily. Sent me updates. Communication was great and she was accommodating in more ways than I could’ve imagined. I would highly suggest her to anybody in need and trust her with my dogs more than I do myself. She is absolutely amazing!”
“Theo was a great sitter! Very comfortable understanding special needs of older dogs. She was great at consistently communicating with us while we were away (including sending pix!). We would not hesitate to use Theo again.”
“Nancy provided extraordinary service to our family. She drove to our RV to meet our Jack Russell Terrier, Missy, and stayed with her for hours while we enjoyed a coastal bike ride. Missy requires special attention due to her age and medical conditions, and Nancy went above and beyond to lovingly care for her. When Nancy visited a second time, Missy was excited and happy to see her. You will not be disappointed if you choose Nancy for your next pet sitting assignment.”
“It was great having Kirsten watch Cooper again. He was truly sad to see her go! She took him on long walks, and was super flexible when our plans changed last minute. Coop's definitely looking forward to hanging out with her again!”
“Abella did a great job house sitting and taking care of my two doggos! She was responsive to the booking quickly and stopped by before I left to learn about their needs and routine. The dogs were well taken care of and she took great care of the house as well.”
“Madelyn was an excellent sitter for Frito! She was very communicative and shared pictures. Kept me updated on how she was doing throughout our trip. And the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely hope to book her again!”
“Wow. Thats all I can say. We are so happy with the hard work and dedication from Jose. My dogs are NOT easy. We have 2 alpha Great Danes and medicated dogs. He took care of it all. I’m really hoping he wants to continue with being our permanent dog sitter!!! Thank you so much (cash tip )”
“Sara was amazing! We had to hire someone short notice and I’m so glad we found Sara. She showed up on time and was able to do a meet and greet before the overnight stay. Sara communicated with us regularly while were away. And sent us such cute pictures!! We will definitely book her again for future trips.”
“Austin was AMAZING! He went above and beyond in every single way. We have never had as house sitter be so thoughtful and care for our animals so well. We have three cats and a dog all with specific routines and needs. He handled their meds and quirks with no issue. I am usually the type of person who non-stop worries about our animals while we are gone and I never even got the chance to because Austin’s updates were so thorough and he made it clear that caring for them was his priority. He even went out of his way to make sure he got eyes on and sent me pictures of our cats who hide so I knew they were safe in the house. We came back to happy animals and a house that was much cleaner than when we left. I would 100% recommend Austin to anyone!”
“Julie was great with my dog Anna. We wanted to leave Anna in our home while we were gone on vacation. Julie was very flexible and made sure Anna got enough potty breaks and meals. She even went so far as to ask if she could bring one of her dogs with her to give Anna an outlet for her energy. I will definitely use Julie's services again!”
About: Hello! I’m an experienced farm hand, pet sitter, and babysitter with a genuine love for animals and children. With 7 years caring for farm animals, 5 dogs of my own all sizes from XS-XL, and 5 years babysitting experience from ages 0-14 year olds. I’m dependable, flexible, and always attentive to your pets’ and kids’ needs. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help and give your loved ones the best care while you’re away. References available upon request! As a new high school graduate, I have an open weekday schedule, which allows me to be flexible and dedicated to pet care. I can easily fit visits, walks, and playtime into my daily or weekly routine to make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I love and care for my pets all the same the only part that varies is feeding, catering to their needs, and keeping in mind any triggers the dogs might have (food aggression/resource guarding). But at a clients house I feed accordingly to the instructions I was left and give their fur baby as much cuddles and love as they’ll allow me to.

This is the 3 or 4th time we have had Rachel dog sit for us while we were gone and she’s amazing as always! I love that we can count on her, and always know that the dogs are in the best hands! They are relaxed and well taken care of while we’re gone. The bonus is the house is always super tidy when we come home too which is a bonus (certainly not a requirement, but so nice!!). Rachel communicates so well and gives us updates on the boys to let us know how they are doing and sends lots of pics. We appreciate her and we really love how well she takes care of our 3 rascals! Rachel is always my number 1 pick for dog sitting. Thank you Rachel!
Sandra was wonderful and sent many photos of our dogs during our trip. We had some issues with substantial delays and ended up getting stuck in Atlanta for an extra night. She was extremely helpful, kind, and flexible to our situation. I will be booking with her again in the future!
