Sianna was amazing with our dog Jax! She sent daily updates with pictures and responded to messages promptly. She went above and beyond for what we expected and we will definitely be using her again! We cannot recommend Sianna enough to keep your mind at ease while you are away from your pet!

We booked Sarah to stay & watch our two dogs for a weekend away and she was perfect! I got picture/video updates a couple of times a day and she kept me up to date on how things were going throughout the day. She was a fantastic house guest as well - she even did her dishes, gathered her bedding/towels, and made sure the space was tidy. Communication, responsiveness, and overall experience was 10/10 for us! We will definitely be using Sarah again!

Pamela is amazing! Amazing doesn't even cover it and I doubt any word will because she IS THAT great! I went away for a long weekend & came back to my dog happy and healthy as can be & my house even better than I left it! I won't give away too many details because I want her as my permanent go to and don't trust y'all to completely book her...but just know she's incredible and will treat you as if she's a lifelong friend watching your pup for you. 10/10 would recommend, I will be singing her praises for life!

Katherine was great! What I appreciate most is her responsiveness to text messages and getting back to me quickly when asking for an update on how things were going. Katherine was in my home for a week and was a very considerate house-sitter. I greatly appreciate that she was respectful of my home and took excellent care of my beagle girls. I would highly recommend Katherine.

Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!

Julia did a fantastic job watching our dog while we went out of town! She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. We can be apprehensive about leaving our dog home, but Julia allowed us to rest easy and enjoy our vacation because of the care and attention she gave each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted professional to watch their pet, and she will be our go-to resource for our dog moving forward.

About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.

I have had dogs before and I currently have two cats, so I have experience with both dogs and cats! I definitely make sure to interact with the pets!

Lindsay did a great job watching my dogs in my house while we were traveling. She checked in dauly with updates of the dogs. Took my more active dog to her house while she worked for more enriched supervision and also kept my older dog happy and on routine. I look forward to working with her again when we travel.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 8. I’ve had guinea pigs, dogs, and a rabbit. My family currently has one rabbit, Thumper. He is the best! We also have three wonderful dogs…two English cream golden retrievers, Remi and Raven, and a spunky beagle named Snoopy! I was a teacher for 24 years and now I work in a school library. I’m trying to make some extra money on the side. I started doing some dog walking this summer and have truly enjoyed it! I love being outside and taking walks with the pups! I’m available in the morning before 8:00 a.m. I’m available after 4 p.m. and at night too. On the weekends, my schedule is very flexible. I can take your dog for a walk, so they can get some exercise. I can also stay and play with them! Happy to send pictures and updates too!

About: I offer calm, reliable care with hands‑on experience supporting puppies, seniors, and anxious pets, always focusing on their comfort and emotional well‑being. I’m Pack-Pro certified in dog body language, group management, and new‑dog evaluation, which allows me to read subtle signals, manage different energy levels safely, and support dogs of all personalities with confident, attentive handling. I also have experience volunteering with cats at the Humane Society, where I worked with shy, social, and special‑needs cats and learned how to create a gentle, predictable environment that helps them feel secure. Along with my professional training, I have personal experience caring for my own dog and two cats, as well as senior rescue dogs I’ve had in the past, which has given me a deep understanding of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. All of this helps me tailor every visit, so each pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. As a part‑time college student with a flexible job, I build my week around pet visits. With classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:45pm–2:45 PM till Mid-May and self‑selected work shifts, I have plenty of room to give each pet calm, focused attention. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s routine exactly as outlined - feeding, litter care, walks, playtime, and medication if needed — while keeping their environment calm, clean, and comfortable. As well as providing gentle companionship.

I wish I could rate Emma with more than 5 stars! Our pupper was far more anxious about us leaving than we imagined. Emma handled him with grace and patience. She truly is the “dog whisperer”. She treated our fur baby as if he were her own and after a couple of days, she was getting snuggles and kisses. I can thank her or compliment her enough. She’s a gem!
