11. Vanessa M.
About: I have taken care of many family and friends pets while they were away. Whether it be me staying at their home with their pet, doing visits and provide play time, feeding, providing medication, or going on walks. I am very comfortable keeping a schedule and making sure all pets are taken care of. I also have experience taking care of pets during special events, such as weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, etc. I am currently working a 9-5 Monday-friday but I do have an hour lunch. I am free anytime before or after work and all day on the weekends. I have a fenced half an acre yard with 1 friendly dog. There are 2 extra rooms in the home so boarding and providing space is not an issue.


12. Michele G.
“Michele is an extreme animal lover and has owned dogs, cats and other animals her entire life. She is responsible, loving person! I would strongly recommend her and feel completely safe and comfortable with her ability to care for anyones loving pets.”


13. Amber W.

“Amber was so wonderful with our dog Kermit. He couldn’t wait for her to come back each visit. He would wait by the door for her. She gave him lots of love and attention and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you!!!”


14. Katy O.

“Katy is extremely sweet and treats the puppers (all ages and sizes) like her own. She even did a meet and greet before starting since my little one is more anxious and way of meeting new people. Super flexible and responsible, couldn't ask for a better sitter/walker!”


15. Carly C.

“Carly is super sweet! This first meeting was a meet and greet- more for our GSD to get to know Carly. Carly was on time and was so relaxed meeting our pup that Mella sat on her feet within minutes and actually fell asleep while Carly was there. I look forward to having Carly as our go-to sitter moving forward.”


16. Susan M.

“Awesome!!”




17. Traci K.

“My sister Traci and I were raised with animals our whole lives. Anywhere from cats and dogs to ducks and horses- we have cared for all types. My sister was the one always bringing home the strays and making them part of our family. We have always felt that our pets are not just animals, but family members and Traci cared for them as such. Traci has two titles in our family- "Dog Whisperer" and "Dr Doolittle". She truly loves animals and will always put them first. I will always trust my kids aka my three dogs with their Auntie Traci. ”


18. Kathy L.

“Kathy did an awesome job coming to play with and give love to our cat, Smokey, who is a very social kitty. She sent me photos of each visit. It made me feel very comfortable and at ease knowing that she was coming to keep my baby company.”


19. Ally R.

“Ally was a great sitter and a pleasure to work with! She was so great with our babies in our weekend away. It was our first time leaving them home, but we felt super safe know ally was looking in on them. We will definitely book with Ally again!”

“Mariola is absolutely amazing! She took great care of my pets, sent lots of photos for updates and even offered some great advice! I HIGHLY recommend her for any type of sitting you need.”
