Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!

If I could give Heidi more than 5 stars I would! I was kept up to date every single day and Heidi ensured the pups were both taken care of as if I never even left! She went above and beyond while I was gone for the 10 days. The dogs made a huge mess of my couch but Heidi immediately called me and then went ahead and cleaned up the mess. The dogs were very well taken care of and she sent at least one picture a day sometimes more. I would recommend getting Heidi to take care of any pet! She was an excellent communicator and both the dogs loved her! Will for sure go to her first for any pet sitting needs!

Anna was an excellent house sitter to our nervous greyhound and cat. She sent daily updates at least and took booker for the walks he needed. She went above and beyond keeping our house in order. We spent the vacation knowing our pets were cared for and came back to clean house. Highly recommend (unless we need her ;-) )

About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.

Haylea stayed with our 13 year old dog for 5 nights. Since we are both retired, it was especially important to us that our dog have a lot of company as she is used to our being home. A big plus is Haylea works from home 4 of 5 days a week and was able to be with our dog a lot. Haylea texted photos and kept us up to date on how our fur baby was doing. Highly recommend her!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly understand their needs! I’ve trained my personal service animal, fostered pups in need, and already dog-sit for wonderful owners in the North Park community. Plus, I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Whether they need playtime, training reinforcement, or just a cozy cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekend boarding and can accommodate weekday care after 12 PM—unless we’ve planned and confirmed a schedule that works best for your dog’s specific needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and comfortable! 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a loving, structured environment tailored to their needs. My dog, Luca, is a great companion and will help keep your pup company. We have a routine of three walks a day, ensuring plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I also provide mental enrichment activities, assist with crate training, and even reinforce sign language for dogs—a valuable skill that benefits all pups, especially as they age and may experience hearing loss. Your dog will be in great hands, getting the care, attention, and training they need to thrive! 🐾
