“Savannah did a great job with our two "Barkingtons." They seemed happy and content. She was very pleasant and friendly to work with and had great communication throughout our time away. We hope she will be able to watch them again if we go away on another trip. Thank you, Savannah!! 10/5 stars if that was a thing. 😀”


“Marnie was great! Bear got along well with her, she sent us photos and gave us updates while we were away, and when she was leaving Bear was wagging his tail and cuddling. We'll use her again if we need another sitter! :)”


“Jada did a wonderful job watching my three pups for a week while I was out of town! The communication was on point and the photo updates of my babies were greatly appreciated. My favorite part was that she wasn’t afraid to ask questions instead of assuming things. Would definitely recommend Jada to anyone looking for a sitter that fills all the boxes!”


“Hailee was AMAZING!! Ryker took to her right away like he had known her his whole life. He did great while we were gone. We were worried he wouldn't eat well and be sad (he lost his companion a few months ago) but he did so good and ate well. I think it's because Hailee has a way with animals, I think they are drawn to her ❤️. We will definitely use Hailee in the future!”


“Tristan did amazing with my cats! He sent many pictures and told me exactly what was going on. One of my cats has special requirements and he took care of her exactly how I needed! Thank you so much Tristan! I will definitely be using you again!!!”


“I ended up canceling the booking right before the sitting but the experience I had with Ashley was wonderful! She was willing to come over and meet my pup beforehand and Rue took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable having Ashley stay over for the week at my house. I hated that I had to cancel at the last minute because I know Rue would have LOVED Ashley. Highly recommend her!!”

The safety of your animal is my biggest concern and shall be handled accordingly.

About: My family raised dogs growing up. I later adopted many discarded rescues until they passed away. I know how to bathe, feed, treat, talk and walk any breed. I'm also available to stay over nights with your pets. I'm a real estate paralegal and work from home. It's never a problem to take an extended break or lunch to provide your pet with first class care. I can walk your pets, stay over night with them, water & feed, bathe them, brush their teeth and clean their ears. You just let me know how you want them to be cared for! I've recently watched a pit bull, German Shepard, and Bullmastiff along with two cats on separate occasions.

Shalena H.
“A true pet lover! My male adult cat is a bit stand of fish. She always treated him with kindness! Even when he ran off with her hair ties! Good natured , bubbly personality. Took care of Loki when I was gone. Feeding him and filling his water glass. YES, he’s one of those! Spoiled !”

Alex M.
“Alex lived with my wife and I for a little over a year. Alex would take care of our two dogs (Hank and Shelby) whenever we needed help. Both my wife and I work weird hours so Alex took it upon himself to feed and let the dogs out when needed. Alex is still one of the people to this day that we contact if we need someone to help with our dogs. He takes good care of them and makes sure they get what they need whether that is a walk, food, or just simply to play. I would highly recommend him for anyones puppy needs.”
