“Peter is such a well-spoken, considerate, and accommodating young man. My dog immediately fell in love with him, and Peter offered the care I would've given if I were home-- and then some! Peter not only offers exemplary pet care, but also conducts himself in an organized and cleanly matter. You can be confident that he will keep your house in pristine condition. I didn't ask him to, but he vacuumed, took out the trash, and cleaned the dogs' water and food bowl. I would recommend Peter to anyone with pet needs because you can tell he cares about the work that he does. His rates are fair, he is open to negotiate, and you can count on him to respond. Peter has set the bar for pet care, and pet owners should never have to expect any less. He sends consistent updates, and spends quality time with your pet. Without a doubt, I will be booking with him in the future!”



“Stephanie loved my girls as if they were her own. They were well cared for, our home was perfect and as we met on the way out she has a calming and relaxing smile. Stephanie will be one of our family now ??”


“Treated my dog like it was her own! Very loving and playful! So happy to have chosen Alexa to care for our pup! 100% recommend”


“I had Ivy stay with my girl Cassie for 3 nights. She did a great job! Cassie and I loved her on our meet and greet. She was very respectful of my home as well. She took the time to write down all feeding and medication times because she knew how important it was to give her medication every 12 hours. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I get nervous leaving Cassie when I have to travel for work, but Ivy staying with her definitely put my mind at ease. I will be using her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”


“Lisbeth was great with our furbabies! She took great care of our home & pets, and provided fabulous pictures while we were gone. She was very responsive to us, and also respectful in her updates, and not at all bothersome of our vacation. Our dog is high energy and pretty attached to us, and Lisbeth took excellent care of him, with lots of walks, fetch, attention and care, so he was happy while we were gone (& when we came back). We would ABSOLUTELY have Lisbeth stay again! Thank you Lisbeth - you’re a gem & rockstar!!”


“Madie is lovely to interact with, and very patient and caring with pets. Madie makes sure to take the best possible care of our pets possible and really cares.”

“Ashley is wonderful! She took very good care of our puppy and sent me updates during the day. I will definitely be calling on her again!”


“Milena was absolutely amazing with our big dog Magnus. She was so great to work with, excellent communication, very kind, caring and trustworthy. We returned from our trip with a very happy dog, and the house was just as we left it. I would HIGHLY recommend!”


“Nheli was absolutely wonderful! She came a day before our booking to meet Shayna and get acclimated with her, and on babysitting day, Shayna couldn't have been happier! She was super comfortable with Nheli (even during a rainstorm, which says something!) Nheli was responsive, and sent a bunch of adorable photos. Would love to work with her again!”


“Kaitlin has watched my cats for me several times over the last few years and she always does a great job! She is very thorough with her care making sure they have food water, and a clean litter box, but she also makes sure they get attention and play time! I love the updates from her with pictures and the peace of mind I have knowing she's taking care of my cats so I can focus on traveling~”

“Joe was awesome! Stayed in our home for 10 days while we were in Europe and I didn’t worry about the dogs! He sent lots of pics and the dogs were happy and content when we got home. He checked on our timing before we left, checked our flight for delays before leaving. I think our dogs miss him!”


About: I’ve been in absolute love with dogs since Jackson waddled into our lives when I was 9. I’ve been dogsitting cowowker’s’ pups (and cats) for the last few years and love everything about it. Happy to stay in the home; bonus points if the pups “have” to sleep in the bed with me 😁 I have more flexibility over the weekends but am free after 4 during the week. From July-end of August I’m a lot more of a free bird! My current home isn’t big enough for the favorite member(s) of your family, but I am very professional when staying at your home (I’ve never opened a single medicine cabinet). I love that I can keep your pets as comfortable as possible in their own home and am happy to do whatever funny breakfast or night routine that they need!

“Nancy not only meets but absolutely exceeds every expectation as a pet sitter! She was amazing with my two pups - she is very communicative, sent tons of photos and most importantly I came home to happy and healthy babies! I could not recommend Nancy enough! My pups were in the best hands possible. THANK YOU again!!!!❤️”



“Kaitlynn was wonderful! She was incredibly responsive from the start, came to meet our pets and learn their routine, and communicated throughout the weekend which eased our nerves about leaving our pets. I would highly recommend her!”

“Andrea’s many years of pet care experience make her an excellent choice for dogs and cats. She is especially attentive and even anticipates their needs.”

“We’ve had the pleasure of having Justine care for our dog in our home for the past 10 years, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is the epitome of trustworthiness and compassion, and we always feel at ease knowing our beloved pup is in her care. She’s truly apart of the family. Her attention to detail, love for animals, and the genuine bond she shares with our dog make her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a dedicated and caring pet sitter. I’ve recommended her to other families, and they’ve all been just as grateful to find someone as exceptional as she is. We wholeheartedly recommend her as our sweet pup always looks forward to spending time with her!”

“Morgan is a loving, gentle and responsible young woman who truly loves all dogs and will treat yours as her own. Whether its long walks, tug-of-war, fetch or snuggling that your furry baby requires, she will make sure they are happy and well taken care of when you are away. She has a special way with young children and animals - they are drawn to her. Cant say enough wonderful things about Morgan!”

“Best dog-walker/carer we ever had! My little cocker Coco absolutely adores Giada and Giada always keeps me updated on their walks together by sending photos. She has been flexible around my work schedule, goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that Coco is taken care of when I'm away, and is just a really kind and lovely person who is a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend her!”
