“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”
“Onyx had the best time with Taylor and Brian and their sweet dog Shiloh! He typically lives in an apartment so he was thrilled to have access to a fenced in yard. Taylor and Brian were very kind to accommodate a last-minute extra night’s stay after our travel plans home went awry. They were very sweet and understanding.”
“Karen took great care of my 75 lb dog! He has a lot of energy and clearly had a great time at Karen’s since he slept all day when he got back. I would definitely recommend Karen for watching your fur baby.”
“Bradley was amazing with Chinook and Apache! They had a great time during their stay—Bradley kept me updated with plenty of pictures, and the boys looked so happy when I picked them up. Now they’re both passed out asleep at home, which tells me they had a fun and active time! I’ll definitely be booking with Bradley again. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent stay for my pup! She was loved and well cared for. I received pictures and updates the entire stay. Would highly recommend Jennifer and Robert!”
“Jenny and her family and dog were wonderful hosts for our dog Gretel. Gretel got walks and affection and seemed very comfortable there. A very responsible and caring host. We will be happy to have Gretel stay with them again.”
“Dion provided a great home for our pup with a friend and a yard in a good neighborhood - hard to beat that. Clear communicator with picture updates along the way. He’ll be our new go-to from here. Will be back!”
“Megan was awesome! She was flexible with our schedule and we loved that she was always responsive. Megan and her son gave our cat a lot of attention, care, and cuddles while we were gone and we definitely recommend her!”
“Kim was absolutely the best!! She took such good care of my girl! My Kaycee is a bit timid and scares easily and Kim took her time letting Kaycee get comfortable and gave her extra loving! I was able to go to my work convention and relax knowing Kaycee was in such good hands!!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Bill and Haley are more than I could ask for in dog sitters… once after my fight got delayed, they were willing to bring my dog Sadie out to the car at 1 am, so I wouldn’t have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in high school. I have experience in dog walking, watching pets at my home or theirs, and volunteering at local shelters.

I have a huge fenced in yard and also 5 dogs of my own, so your pet will surely get lots of love and exercise at my home!
“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”
“Amir took great care of our dog over the weekend! He was knowledgeable and thoughtful regarding the needs of our dog and made sure that he had the best care and experience. I would definitely recommend Amir to any other pet owners to care for their pets!”
“We booked a drop-off time at 6am. Due to travel need, we asked to drop off about one hour earlier and Jenna allowed without hesitate. That was an early morning right after a busy July-4 evening. I really appreciate Jenna’s excellent servicing and would not hesitate recommending her.”

Hanna was absolutely excellent while watching Indy last weekend. She provided frequent updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear Indy was well cared for the entire time. I could tell Indy was in great hands, and that meant everything to me. I would highly recommend Hanna and would gladly trust her again in the future!
Dion was wonderful with my little Maltese. He had never stayed over at another person's house before and is really anxious in new surroundings. Dion did two small sessions with him before our trip and we came home to a happy little dog. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
