Faith was available last minute and took great care of our babies and our house. She sent us lots of photos and videos and was easy to get ahold of. We'll definitely be reaching back out in the future.

My dogs love Haley! I have one easy angel pup and another not so easy grumpy pup, and Haley quickly won them both over. She has a great presence that commands respect which is important for our pup who needs boundaries during introductions. She provided us with updates and photos while we were gone and we will absolutely have her help us again!!

Sidney did a wonderful job sitting for us and our 3 small dogs for 4 nights. We hope she is available every time we need a pet sitter. She provided photos every day and there were no issues the entire time. Thanks again Sydney!

Amanda is amazing! She took great care of our pups and sent the cutest pics. She left our house spotless and I just can’t thank her enough for the affection and extra attention she gave our 2 boys. We would definitely use her again and again. Thank you so much, Amanda!!

We were very happy with Lee! While we were away for the weekend, Lee stayed at our home watching our dog, Roxy. We received pictures and updates daily. When we returned, everything looked great! We appreciate Lee taking good care of Roxy and would have Lee dog sit again.

Kaden was absolutely amazing!!! He sent pics and kept us updated on our girl while we were gone. He took care of our home and made sure everything was good during the freezing cold weather we had. We can’t say enough great things about him! We hope he was comfortable enough here with Stella to watch her again.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Trie provided for our 13-year-old Maltipoo. He has a tough time with separation anxiety and often struggles with eating when we're away, but Trie was absolutely incredible with him. She stayed by his side, took him on several walks a day, and knew exactly how to encourage him to eat. Trie sent us frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. For the first time, we were able to truly relax on vacation knowing our fur baby was in such loving hands. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, kind, and attentive — exactly the kind of person you’d hope to find to care for your pet. We’ll definitely be booking with her again for any future travel!

Victoria stayed the weekend with my small dog who has separation anxiety. Victoria was so kind and caring with her! She also kept in good touch with me and left the house better than when she arrived. I’d definitely recommend her and use her again. She’s a lovely person.

About: I’ve had animals for my entire life including cats, dogs, fish, hamster and guinea pigs. I have taken care of many other animals and love being around them. I have volunteered at animal shelters since middle school and am currently walking shelter dogs. I love animals and want to fit them into any free time I have. I care for my animals everyday and want to care for others as well! I treat every animal and home with the upmost of respect. I want to treat every animal the way I would want mine treated. I love every animal so when they are in my care they are in great care.

Tara watched our rambunctious dog Wes for four nights at our home and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gave him. She bonded instantly with him (which says quite a lot actually for our dog), was in touch every day with updates, and improvised on food when some of his food ran out. TRa also discovered a broken nail and was prepared to take time off from work to take Wes to the vet, although we elected to wait and see. She was professional and caring, everything you could ask for in a pet sitter. I would recommend her again in a heartbeat!

About: I am looking to become a team player in your pet family! As a life-long pet owner, I am looking to care for animals as a part time job (however, full time passion), to bring some joy into my life. I am a dedicated, caring, patient, and attentive care-giver. I will treat your animals as if they are my own! I have experience working and loving dogs of all temperaments including; fear reactive dogs, human and dog reactive dogs, resource guarding behaviors, etc. I am a teacher and have a flexible schedule so please reach out to me if you need something booked even if it's not available on my calendar, likely I'll be able to figure something out with you! I am always open to meeting your pet prior to services to see if it's the right match! I want your beloved animal to be 100% comfortable and for you to feel like it's a good fit. I'm currently able to provide care on weekday mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I can provide more extensive care during the weekends. However, my schedule is typically quite flexible and can most likely accommodate requests. Safety is a top priority for me. As a teacher or young children I understand the complexities and necessity of monitoring environments for consistent safety. My own dog, who unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge, was fear aggressive and required a constant bond of trust and security. Having a personal experience of dealing with a dog that needed above and beyond attention has given me a deep understanding of what makes animals feel safe.

About: I love dogs! I get so excited each time I see a dog ... the same way a teenager does to their first love, or a man to a new grill/smoker, or a woman to a Christmas craft fair. I'd love to make your pet feel loved and cared for when their favorite person (you!) is away from home. I lost my sweet, sweet girl to a brain tumor November 2025. While I'm not ready to take on a new dog of my own, I'd be so pleased to care for yours while you're away. You can be sure I will treat them with care and affection, same as I did for my own. Each dog is different and I will do my best to cater my care to their needs, safety, comfort, and (healthy) stimulation. My home is small but the love inside it is not. I can provide walks of whatever duration/frequency your dog needs, car rides to new sites/sounds/smells (if you approve), and 'bonus bites' of foodlove (again at your approval). Pets are allowed on furniture and beds. Above all I will respect what you tell me the boundaries are for your pet. I know what it's like to be away from your 4-legged best friend and will provide daily updates with pictures but if you want more often than that, you need only ask. About me: I've helped train 6 puppies and helped with dedicated senior care on two of my own dogs (including soft tissue injuries and a brain tumor diagnosis with resultant seizures). I grew up in a house with a dog from birth to college and actively helped take care of them. Since 2006 when I graduated college I have had two dogs and each have solely relied on me for their care including health problems, surgery healing, etc. Smoke free, child free, cat free home. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, breeds, and attitudes of dogs. I am comfortable administering oral and rectal meds but would not be a good fit for someone who had a dog needing an injection (sorry!). I am comfortable with dogs who are very 'high maintenance' on their med and feeding schedule as my own brain tumor experience can attest to how exacting, detailed, and difficult that can be. My calendar should always reflect when I'm available to help. I typically work M-F 6am to 5pm and am flexible to accommodate you outside of those times. I'm able to provide house sitting services at your home OR weekend boarding in my home. First - what you want for your dog matters most. Please communicate training, behavioral, food, outing, and other expectations and I will do my very best to check every box! After that - I care for pets by putting the pet first and giving them as much love as they'd like! I live alone in an apartment up a flight of stairs. While I can provide some help up the stairs, it would be ideal if larger dogs can do a flight of stairs multiple times a day. In my home I do not leave anything dangerous down. Specifically, I'm in the habit of not leaving food down due to my own food-hound. Trash is covered and frequently dumped to avoid trash calamity. A bench at the bottom of my bed with a rug under it ensures safe jumps from floor to bed. Rugs make the living room more comfortable for pups. I can lift dogs in and out of cars when required (as I did for my own sweet girl). Walks employ harnesses to safeguard the throat and trachea. I have pet gates to isolate pets if owners request (healing/safety). I'd speak to owners about acceptable treats, food schedule, medication schedule, and any furniture rules. Please note I have uploaded pics of my new home onto the app and put them near the top ... but many of the existing pics you see with other pets are inside of my past home.

Lee was able to help us last minute over a holiday weekend and still took the time to come meet us and our dog, Blue, beforehand. Lee sent pictures and updates while we were away and took great care of her. Blue seemed happy and comfortable, which let us relax and enjoy our time away knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Lee!

We are repeat customers of Lee, and for good reason! We have always felt completely comfortable having Lee in our home. Our Boston Terrier absolutely thrives on having companionship, and Lee is consistently attentive, making sure our dog gets plenty of playtime and focused attention. Both our dog and our cat were exceptionally well cared for. During this last visit, Lee’s attention to detail really shined when they noticed and safely removed a tick that had found its way onto our dog. We truly appreciate Lee's wonderful care for our pets and highly recommend their services!
