“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Jojo. Jojo instantly took to her. She was great when I was leaving to keep Jojo preoccupied so she wouldn't get that separation anxiety that she normally gets, I can tell she's played a lot over the last 36 hours because she is worn out. My house looks impeccable, absolutely nothing out of place and I will definitely be hiring Jennifer for all of my future needs.”

I can assure you your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Never worry about leaving them home alone ever again 💕 I am available weekdays and weekends for walks or check ins and at anytime on weekends. Park playtimes are also available if requested in advance. Your pet would be cared for as if they were my own. When house sitting I would make sure they have all needs met and are being stimulated through playtime, cuddles and any training practices you are doing.
“Taylor is awesome. She was prompt,comfortable with our girls. They quickly relaxed with her and she communicated and sent pics. Definitely will ask her to watch them when we need help. Recommend her highly”


About: I’ve had at least two dogs my whole life. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering oral medications, crate training, basic obedience reinforcement, and providing structured playtime to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I work a different job monday-wednesday and sometimes other random days. Other than that i’m usually free to watch your animals. I’m also pretty flexible! Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow owner instructions, monitor behavior and health changes, and provide regular photo and message updates for peace of mind. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“Cara was amazing with my 11 month old golden puppy. She followed all the instructions and used to send pupdates everyday. Also while leaving on the last night she made sure the place is clean and things are in place. She stayed with him for about 20 days and was the reason we were able to enjoy our holiday. She’s a perfect choice as she treats every pet as her own”

About: I enjoy taking care of dogs and cats of all sizes. I also am attentive to watering plants, watching out for deliveries, and checking mail. I keep the house neat and orderly just as I would have found it. I also am quiet and would be respectful if there are neighbors. I work remotely full-time, Monday through Friday, which fits well with pet sitting as I would be readily available while I work, and my current hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I can take breaks frequently to walk pets and do all that is needed. I read instructions carefully left and adhere to all that is needed for each pet. I am glad to ask questions when those arise, and I also at times may take a picture of the pet to send to show how content each pet is and that they are doing well.
“Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!”

“All I can say is Gad is awesome.we just completed a two week trip and Gad took care of our fur babies while we were gone . Our dogs loved him and he spent a lot of time with them. They are both senior dogs and need a lot of care . Pills twice a day etc… and Gad went over and beyond expectations. One of my dogs wasn’t eating for a couple of days and Gad even bought him chicken and grilled it on the grill for him . Well needless to say my dog ate . Gad is very respectful and very responsible. I would highly recommended Gad .”


About: I have been around animals since the day i was born, ranging from simple house pets to farm animals to rodents! In high school I attended a veterinary school where I learned all kinds of information about all kinds of pets. There is not an animal in this world I do not love! I have a very open schedule, so I can spend as much time as needed on all the fur babies! My cats get specific care given every day such as feedings, enrichment and love! I have two cats of my own that I treat like literal human beings, proper pet care is extremely important to me. All animals deserve respect regardless of breed or behaviors!

Sam is the best! She took great care of our zoo and can handle multiple types of animals. She followed our instructions, sent updates every day, and was a clean and respectful guest in our home. She even won over our shy little cat who has not let any other sitter pet him. We would recommend her to anyone and she is now our preferred pet and house sitter for our furry and feathered babies! You can't find a better choice, whether for one pet or a whole farm full!

This was my first time hiring a sitter, and I was a bit nervous before trying it out. I don’t think we could have hired a better sitter than Sam, hands down. Wether it was the constant photo updates which my girl and I loved, or the attention to detail, She took care of my fur baby like she was her own and I’m so thankful that she was in such great hands while we were on our weekend trip. I will 1000000000% be hiring Sam again and recommend her to anyone that wants the best love and care for their fur baby. 100/10 service!

CJ is absolutely wonderful! He took great care of 3 Crazy dogs and home while we were away. He was very communicative and sent us pictures every day. It made our trip even better not having to worry. Icing on the cake coming home to fresh baked cookies! 😊thank you and will always book with him in future.
