1. Paige A.

“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”




2. Samm L.

“Samm was amazing with our animals! She sent updates and pictures every day she watched them. I was well assured that our animals were well taken care of. Definitely recommend her!”


3. Jeanne R.


“She is super excited about caring for my dogs, and goes above and beyond to accommodate them in her home the first time but making it super convenient this second coming to my house when needed for a last minute funeral and it was a blessing.”


4. Rhianna B.

“Rhianna was fantastic! Our pets were well cared for and quickly became comfortable. Even harsh weather didn't stop Rhianna from coming and taking great care of them!”


5. Cara G.

“Cara did a great job with three larger dogs. Two lap Labs and an old boxer mix. Our concern was how the old boxer would get along with her. Cola immediately warmed up and Cara gave us regular updates through photos. I'd recommend her.”


6. Bianca S.

“Bianca did a great job with our pets. She communicated well and responded quickly. She sent me updates and pictures of my pets throughout her stay. I would 100% recommend her.”


7. Kathie C.

“Kathie was wonderful with my dogs! She is kind, reliable, and my pups absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”


8. Augusta B.
“Augusta is the only person I trust to take care of my Zoo. She is amazing handling my anxious chihuahua, and meets him where he’s at with compassion and care. She does amazing with my other dog, my two cats and my exotics. I never have had to worry about my babies while she’s cared for them, because she spoils them with love and care just like I would. She’s an amazing communicator, punctual, consistent and has a great intuition and attention to detail. She is your one stop shop for all of your animal caretaking needs! ❤️❤️”


9. Cydni S.

“This was the first time I’ve ever had a dog/house sitter, but I knew it was the right thing for Ranger. Cyndi was great! Kept in touch. Left my home cleaner than when I left it. And I know Ranger was happy, safe and well taken care of. I’ll definitely feel comfortable with this service in the future and Cyndi for sure!”


10. Hillary H.


“This is our second time using Hillary- this time for an overnight stay at our house and we cannot recommend her enough! She was extremely respectful of our home and took amazing care of Rico and made sure to give us updates while we were away!”


11. Haley A.

“Haley is amazing! The communication before and during our stay was perfect. She was so patient and kind with our anxious girls. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable and happy knowing they were safe with her, and we returned to very happy and loved puppies.”


12. Chirstina W.


“Chirstina watched my two dogs overnight for the first time, and they already like her more than me. Total traitors. Perhaps she'll come watch them more often!”


13. Melissa V.
“To say Melissa is a pet lover is an understatement. She has a huge amount of compassion for animals, which is what makes her the perfect pet sitter. As a child she would actually sleep in her bedroom closet with her dogs anytime there was loud thunder or fireworks, just to help keep them calm. She has volunteered at a cat rescue facility, and has taken in abandoned cats until she was able to find them permanent homes. Melissa would be a wonderful pet sitter for your cat, guinea pigs, dragons, etc...”

About: Taking care of animals including feeding, grooming, exercise, playtime, walking, cleaning cat litter and great companionship, as well as maintaining a safe and comfortable environment. I work a full time job until 4pm M-F. I am looking for weekends and evenings during the week. I would love to spend my free time with some animals. I can care for pets at your home preferably. I have two sweet pups at home and foster dogs on occasion until they get adopted


15. Jessica M.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life till now. So I miss the puppy love and walks for sure. I can administer medications. (Oral as well as shot) I can sit the dog and your house while you relax knowing your babies are safe with someone trustworthy. I work early in the mornings usually so have time for afternoon walks and spend the night times with your animals. I’m very trustworthy and flexible and know how people are with loving and caring for their pets. I have two cats that don’t socialize with other animals. And I have a special needs birdy. I can dog or kitty sit in your house no problem. I’ve also been on a health journey so the more walks the better!!


16. Lydia S.

“Lydia is amazing!! She’s watched our fur baby many times, always goes above & beyond. She even helped us out last minute. When we’re away I feel at ease knowing our dog is in good hands with her. She even sends pictures & gives updates on how everything is going. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”


17. Ashlee N.

“Ashlee took on a two dog household for a week long stay as a dog and house sitter and did an amazing job. She was great at communicating before the stay and throughout the stay, and she could problem solve little things to not disturb me on my trip. Ashlee provided the dogs with exercise above what was asked, she cleaned up the house before she left (including the not so fun task of picking up poop from the yard!), and she kept my mind at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book!”


18. Athena F.
“Athena has watched my dog loki for me multiple times and never disappoints. Especially with him being a corgi lab. Cause he can be stubborn sometimes, and lets his corgi show. But I know he's safe with her. And she follows anything special that Ihe needs.”


19. Cadence M.
“Cadence is an amazing pet sitter. She pays extra attention to detail to meet the needs of any individual pet she cares for. She makes sure they get lots of love and attention. Wouldn’t want anyone else caring for my pets”


20. Max C.
About: I grew up taking care of cats and most recently a puppy who is now a young adult who can follow a list of basic commands. I love spending time with dogs and walking with them. I would love the opportunity to meet and take care of your dog as if they were my own! I am currently available every day during business hours, some weekends and evenings in advance! I am available to walk anytime past 9am and sit/drop in anytime past 9 am also! Trust and safety are my number 1-2 factors when it comes to being around animals of any kind. For my own fur babies, at my last place, we had a fenced in yard so i would always take my dog outside and never lose sight of her, even tho she is 80+ lbs! When/if i am watching your pets, safety will be my 1 priority and to make sure your pet is comfortable and feeling safe at all times
