“Joey watches my dog very often when I am working overnights and out of town! Louie loves when he comes over and when I say “Joey is watching him”. He is always very tired because they played so hard and always has enough food and water. Definitely recommend joey to watch your pet…treats them like his own!”


2. Glenn W.

“Glenn was awesome. He took great care of our senior dog with anxiety issues. He listened to our concerns and made sure our dog’s needs were met appropriately. He kept us updated on how our dog was doing and even sent a few pictures. We will absolutely being using him again in the future”

“Kellie was an amazing with my elderly cat and took excellent care of my home! I hope I have the privilege to have her watch both again on the future. Thank you, Kellie!”


4. Nicole G.
“Nikki has taken care of my dogs for a couple years now when we go on vacation. She is very attentive to their needs and although they missed us it is obvious they have been well loved while we were gone. Upon our return, my house is in good order she always cleans up after herself. I would highly recommend Nikki to care for your pets!”


5. Anna C.
“Anna has taken care of our cat Nellie for several years during our summer vacations, which could be from one to two weeks. She comes to the house several times a day but doesn’t just feed and water her and clean the litter box. She plays with her, brushes her, and even takes her outside in her harness and leash to watch the birds. Anna seems to have an innate connection with animals and they like her! She is reliable, conscientious, and will care for your pet as if it was her own. I highly recommend her.”


6. Nicky V.

“Nicky and Jorge were great! They managed my 1yr old, very active, Labrador beautifully and gave my older dog all the care she needed.”

About: I am Deaf. Dog lover. People person. Easy outgoing. Quick learner. I am a foodie person, who doesn't? I always have dogs my whole life. I tell people that I can understand the dog completely. I never have done this kind of job but always up for it! Dogs are life! I need to have flexible hours if you are willing. I have my own car. Respectful. Patience. I always must to be around dogs otherwise, I go nuts! I am able to give them attention if needed. I love to just chill with them, bond with them, watch them having their own moments, can calm/ distract them from something scary, there are so many to list! I will rather be reached by text message. Text away! We can discuss and communicate. Google invite can! My job is by appointments so we can discuss around if it come with daily. I usually check in on day of if it come with me pick up or usually to confirm I live with my family friends and they have two dogs and they are friendly and social. Playable. I grew up with animals and never have any issues. They love my spirit


8. John R.
“They say that dog is man’s best friend, but most of these people are liars. Or at least, they are terrible friends. When their house is on fire, most people would rather rescue their precious keepsakes or crying baby than the companion that’s been there through everything. But that’s not John. I have the utmost confidence that John will treat your dog with the utmost protectiveness like those mothers who can lift cars when their kids are trapped inside. Not that his house has ever been on fire or anything. They have at least four exits, an extinguisher, and never light candles even though they have them.”


9. John G.

“John was fantastic! Our very shy dog with separation anxiety warmed up to him immediately, and our cat loved him too. He sent regular updates and pictures and took good care of the house. Plus he’s a vet! We felt so comfortable and knew our babies were in good hands!”


10. Marissa F.

“We were so lucky to find Marissa to watch Remi while we were away for a wedding! We were nervous to leave Remi alone with a "stranger" for the first time, however Marissa went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. She came over a few days before to meet us and our pup so she could understand everything Remi needed for a smooth transition. Right off the bat we knew she would be a good fit for Remi, and we were suddenly at ease leaving Remi with her for the evening. She remained in contact through the night, sending pictures of Remi being his cuddly self. We would not hesitate to recommend Marissa to anyone and certainly hope she will come back to take care of our sweet boy in the future!”




11. Debbie P.


“Debbie was awesome. She took great care of our dogs. She was very professional. Sent us pictures and messages every day. I would highly recommend her services. ”


12. Taryn C.

“Taryn did a great job house sitting and watching our babies! She sent lots of pictures and made sure to do everything we instructed. Our older dog needs a little extra help with eating and getting around, she was great to give the extra care. We were very impressed and will certainly use her services again in the future!”




13. Bobbi Jo L.

“Bobbi was great! Our two dogs were happy at home while we were away, she kept them busy and happy and kept us updated. Will definitely book with Bobbi again!”


14. Courtney M.

About: I grew up on a horse farm so animals have been the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised caring for animals and that experience shaped not only my skillset, but my soul. Connecting with animals is second nature to me, and I believe it’s my greatest strength. Whether it’s providing gentle care to senior pets, keeping up with energetic puppies!, or understanding the subtle emotional cues of animals, I offer a level of awareness and devotion that I believe sets me apart. Your pets are more than just animals- they’re family, and I’ll care for them with the same love, responsibility, and attention I give to my own. I work for my family so I have the opportunity to plan my schedule which allows me the freedom and more availability to do other things I enjoy- like this! My top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs — from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking routes. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions to the letter, making sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I’m highly attentive, always observing for changes in behavior or health, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved pet is in the hands of someone who truly cares and is fully present.
