“Adriana was amazing with our 4 babies. Communication was top notch and we received so many photos. She had no problems with giving our old lady cat her medicine and the house was just like we left it. Very professional and so kind. Will definitely be booking her again!”

“I have booked Jeweliana and Riley a few times now and just feel so lucky to have found a reliable sitter for my sweet doggy. Not only are they responsible, respectful of my home, and follow instructions to a T, but they clearly have a lot of love for their work and care about what they do. My furbaby loves when they come to visit and it’s wonderful knowing that I don’t have to worry about a thing. Thank you thank you thank you!!!”

About: From a young age my grandma volunteered me to help look after our neighbors pets. But it never felt like a chore. I mean, is there any better job? I'd start with one house, & word of mouth had me sitting for a handful of neighbors! Overnight as well. Sitting was always for dogs, & I'm already a long time cat owner, so I'm the best of both worlds! I work part time as my main job, so I can pop in or stay overnight to look after your pets no problem! I'm best available Thursdays & Fridays, but can sit any night. I'm very respectful of my clients homes. I'll always leave it how it was found. Your pet will get all the care they desire, & the care you demand.
About: I have carted for my two miniature poodles my whole life, they often get to go on walks, get pup cups, and always get lots of attention I am a college student athlete so some days are more free then others, most weekends are free as well as weekdays in the off season I will care for animals in others homes as they tell me to, keeping the animals on a consistent schedule, with plenty of time for playing and relaxing
“Shana is a fantastic, pleasant, professional, thoughtful person who gave our pets the love & attention they needed while mom & dad were out of town! She kept in touch & gave us updates. She even sent pictures. We are so happy with the way she cared for our home as well!”

“Amazing care and my cat loves her!! First sleepover for a week while I was gone and she was super efficient and went the extra mile taking care of Kaydo. I Highly recommend Ashley.”

“Ligia did an awesome job watching my fur babies. Usually when I leave the pets I hear about it from my Great Dane. There’s a lot of “aaaawooo, howwwoll, growwwllly” when I come in the door but this time she was very calm and content. I could tell she had a great time with Ligia.”
“Risa took excellent care of our boy for a solid 15 days straight while we vacationed. She stayed in contact with us & sent pics to let us know he was eating, playing & doing well. He is a very emotional dog &, in the past, would get depressed & not eat. When we returned home we could tell he had been well cared for!! Would absolutely recommend Risa & we give her HIGH PRAISES for certain! Thank you, Risa!”

“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”

“Siena was great with our shy dog and very non-shy cat. She was attentive and provided us pictures while we were on our trip. She also communicated with us, and did a great job for us on our two week trip away. We would hire her again!”


“Hailey was a pleasure to work with. She was able to squeeze us in at short notice after another sitter was not able to stay with our dogs. She came for a meet and greet and was great with our crew. She was on top of everything and had thoughtful questions. It was a relief to have her while we were gone. She sent updates, pictures, and took care of their special needs even when one had some GI issues while we were gone. I would highly recommend and we will be working with her again in the future!”

“Victoria was so accomodating! We needed a sitter last minute for our pup, and she made the time to come over for a quick meet and greet too. Victoria let herself in, took care of our girl, brought her to brewhound, then locked back up. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Maggie was great with our animals. She communicated with us the whole time and was punctual. She really cares for animals like they are her own.”

“Alexis was a great sitter for my anxious pup, Wrigley. Wrigley usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but in just a couple days he was very comfortable with her. She provided daily updates and even washed the bedding before she left. I would definitely recommend Alexis!”

“Madison and her fiancé took such great care of Ollie for a week for us! I have no complaints. They went above and beyond and it was like we never left when we got home to our pup. He seemed happy, content and well taken care of!”

“Dulce was fantastic! She stayed with my three dogs and cat over a weekend and took great care of them. She gave them plenty of head scratches and sent pictures/videos. Definitely will rebook with her in the future.”

About: When I’m caring for a pet, they become my primary focus. I dedicate my entire day to ensuring they are happy, active, and well-attended to, while providing owners with the frequent updates and reliability they need to feel completely at ease .Many sitters just feed and go; I prioritize enrichment. I incorporate puzzle toys and sniffing games to keep your pet's mind as active as their body." While I work a full-time job during the week, I dedicate my evenings and weekends to pet sitting. I chose to do this because animals truly enrich my life, and I find nothing more rewarding than spending my personal time ensuring your pets are happy and cared for I am a firm believer in keeping pets active and engaged. Whether it’s an afternoon at the dog park or a stroll along the beach, I make sure your pet gets out of the house to explore. Beyond just play, I am dedicated to their overall wellness, ensuring they are well-fed, happy, and healthy.
“Brianna was a life saver! We were able to book and meet last minute for a weekend house sitting. I was definitely impressed by her versatility and expertise in caring for pets of all kinds. She provided great care for my dog with anxiety and two kittens! Brianna ensured they were well-fed, entertained, and snuggled. I highly recommend Brianna’s services to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy pet care!”

“We're so grateful to Katherine for the care she provided to our senior dog, Angel. Throughout the long weekend we were sent timely feedback and pictures of Angel in various activities. Lately, taveling had become stressful due to Angel's age and health conditions but Katherine's care of her gave us the opportunity to enjoy our family trip with no worries.”

About: I have a total of 10 years of pet sitting experience.

The utmost importance for me is to ensure that your fur babies are safe and comfortable while you are away until you get back. Pet sitting is my full time career! So I will be able to devote my time and attention to you and your family! For all of your pet sitting needs. I am comfortable caring for any animals, crated or free roam. If you do not have a fence I am comfortable taking your babies on plenty of daily walks!

This is the second time Jeweliana and Riley have stayed in our home with our pets. Just like last time, they maintained great communication, asked questions when they had them, gave us great updates throughout their stay and took wonderful care of our home and pets. We would be delighted to have them back again!

Risa took excellent care of our boy for a solid 15 days straight while we vacationed. She stayed in contact with us & sent pics to let us know he was eating, playing & doing well. He is a very emotional dog &, in the past, would get depressed & not eat. When we returned home we could tell he had been well cared for!! Would absolutely recommend Risa & we give her HIGH PRAISES for certain! Thank you, Risa!

Nicole did a wonderful job with our anxious dog, Reggie, who usually takes a long time to warm up to new people. She took her time over a couple of visits to get to know him and understand his routine. During the house sitting, Nicole sent lots of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Reggie was well loved while we were away.

We were out of the country for two weeks and very anxious about leaving our pets, especially our old dog who is having a lot of mobility and incontinence issues. We knew from previous trips (and other old dogs) that Layda would take excellent care and be able to handle any curve balls that Aster might throw her way. Layda cares for our pets like her own and we felt much more confident on this trip knowing that she was here with them.
