This is the second time I've hired Melissa to watch my dog overnight in my home and I highly recommend her services! She is attentive, communicative, and overall great to work with. My dog is a very anxious dog overall and really enjoys her company!

Theo & Julian we're fantastic with our pup. They sent tons of photos and updates and were quick to respond to messages. Our little man was a happy little camper when we returned and the house was immaculate. Very professional, highly recommend. Thanks Theo & Julian!!

Andrea sent many pictures and made sure my cats were very well taken care of! She also did an amazing job at giving one of my cats her daily pills. While my cats were in her care I didn’t have a single worrying thought about how they were doing, making my vacation super relaxing and stress free! She’s the best!

Thank you Mikayla for taking care of our little guy! Tucker is a special little Yorkie with health concerns requiring constant monitoring. Mikayla stepped up and delivered reliable excellent care. Oral medication and special dietary needs were taken care of. She communicated with us and sent pics of our guy which was a relief. We could relax and have peace of mind. Bonus, she left the house clean and tidy! We already have our next trip booked! Thank you again!

Callie watched our hyper, very large 52lb 6 month old puppy for a night along with our cat, and did an amazing job! Our puppy is is not at an easy to watch stage, being young and energetic and exciteable, while also being huge and powerful and only half trained. Yet Callie seemed completely unflumoxed and when we came home our house was clean and tidy and the puppy was happy. Highly recommend!

I had a last-minute adjustment to my vacation schedule and needed a sitter and found Shayna. She was super flexible and accommodating, and came to meet my dogs and learn their routine the same day! Shayna provided excellent care for my dogs who are anxious and can sometimes be difficult to care for. I would absolutely use her again for overnight services or walking anytime that we are traveling and she is available! Thank you for taking such good care of my girls💙🐶

I highly recommend April! We booked with her for 3 nights of house sitting in our home and our pup had a blast!! April sent regular photos, videos and updates, and our girl got lots of walks, playtime and snuggles. We were so glad to have her and can’t wait to work with her again the next time we go away!

Ashley was AWESOME! We left town for a few days and felt so comfortable. The dogs were happy (and so was the baby bearded dragon). Sheet pictures and kept in contact. We have a dog that runs and were definitely worried, but Ashley had zero issues. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I have been working with animals for over 10 years now. I have owned my own pet sitting business since I was young and have worked in kennels and dog daycares. I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my favorite! I am currently a full time dog trainer so I have experience with all breeds, ages and temperaments so please let me know if you are interested in my services, I would love to meet you and your dog! I also am able to do a little training with your fur baby while I stay with them if needed! I will make sure that your dog is well cared for and well loved, I love hiking, walking and just being outside so your pup will get lots of exercise when with me. I work full time, but usually get out of work on the earlier side and sometimes work can be flexible with hours so if I have to change them I can try. When I sit in your home I am very respectful. I will keep your house clean and take care of your dog as if they were my own.

Callie was terrific with our 8 month old puppy! He is in his teenage phase and can be difficult - but Callie did an excellent job keeping him entertained, out of troubled and most important comfortable/relaxed. We will be repeat customers, for sure!

Maggie is amazing! She was so wonderful to take on this crazy house 🤣 Abe is not an easy dog to care for and Kevin can be too much and all over you! She loved the cats too, and you could tell everyone was well taken care of. She updated me when she needed to be out of the house and let me know how things were going for the entire week. Maggie also cleaned up any mess that the animals may have made too, which was very much appreciated upon my chaotic return. I’m grateful to have found such a great person!
