“Stephanie did a great job with my cat Pepper. She was very communicative the entire time and made sure that everything was taken care of while I was away. Thank you so much Stephanie!”


“Paige is absolutely wonderful!!! She is always on time, my dog lights up when she sees her and she’s always sure to check in and take pics!! A true life saver!! :)”


“Amanda was thoughtful and delightful to work with for drop-in care. Our puppy Rosie just had surgery, so had to restrict her activities and be carried up/downstairs. Amanda followed Rosie's post surgery care instructions and kept Rosie calm and happy. We loved the picture updates. Amanda patiently sat outside with Rosie to get fresh air. Amanda was always on time and very flexible for last minute changes. Would definitely recommend Amanda.”


“Thomas is friendly and professional. He took great care of Brady which gave us immense peace of mind. Thomas will be getting our repeat business. ???”


“So wonderful to have met Lynne! She was great with my anxious dogs and I appreciated that she did the meet and greet and got to know them ahead of time! They currently can't be at home alone and so it was great peace of mind to be able to leave them with her. We'll definitely be booking again. Thank you Lynne!”


“Katherine was great! Her check-ins were on time and she left a lot of helpful information and pictures. My two cats are both on medication (including an injectable) and I didn't have to worry about them at all in Katherine's care. Would definitely use her again.”


“Amazing sitter! Communicative, responsible, and thoughtful. Not to mention great pics! I'd definitely have Lolo back in the future.”

“Sophia was amazing! My shy elderly cat really warmed up to her. There was a slight emergency that happened while I was gone and she did a great job communicating what was happening and keeping me up to date. My flight home was delayed and she was able to take on an extra half day. Sophia really cares about your animals safety and wellbeing and I am so grateful for her! My cat is usually hesistant around new people but she really seemed to have a special touch”


About: With my fiancé I own a mini dachshund, Rosie! I grew up with cats, and have loved both cats and dogs my whole life. Already a sitter for family and friends, and now you! For daycare/boarding, Rosie will be here at my home, so if your dog loves making friends we are a perfect match. Happy to have a meetup prior as well to have our pups meet. I work full time during the week, often from home, and am available for some evenings/overnights on weekdays. On weekends I am more flexible for walks and drop ins. I have an apartment with a couple of nice parks nearby and quiet streets for walks. Rosie also lives here (mini dachshund), so your dog must be comfortable with small dogs (and Rosie loves making friends!). Apartment best suited for small/medium dogs.

“Emily was awesome, and took great care of my dog on her visits! She helped make sure Birdie got her dinner/treats while I was out, and sent great photos! I’d definitely have her walk Birdie again! 😊”

“Anyi was great to our dog for our quick weekend visit. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a sitter! :)”



About: I owned my own dog for 6 years and trained her as a puppy. I have years of experience and a passion for animals! Your animal will be in loving hands. I have a busy schedule but am going to work time into my schedule. I recently lost my dog and feel the need to fill the void. I miss having her each day so I want to be able to help others walk and care for their animals :) I always prioritize safety precautions when in the care of animals, I treat every animal the same if it’s my own or someone else’s. I believe I am very suited to be in the care of any animal as I have had dogs my whole life and had a dog of my own for the last 6 years.

Cameron L.
“Cam has taken care of my German Shepard willow multiple times. It was clear he connected with my pup immediately when they first met. He meticulously asked about her care regimen, my preferences around how she gets handled, and left me feeling super confident. Cam was prompt, communicative, affectionate towards willow, and an all around good guy. Highly recommend and will be using again.”

Michael A.
“Michael is fantastic with animals. I have a 125 pound German shepherd and a 10 pound Maltese that Michael would walk frequently and take care of when traveling out of town. He was able to keep both large and small dogs safe and happy to the point that they get more excited when he comes through the door than when I do! Couldn’t recommend him more!”
