“Aimee is an incredibly caring and loving dogsitter. She treated our chihuahua Elvie with so much warmth kindness over 2 weeks, and judging by the pics and videos Aimee sent throughout her stay, our pup had a blast. Aimee was incredibly responsive and communicative, and we could not possibly recommend her any more. We will 100% book with her again.”

About: I've been passionate about dogs since childhood, starting with my two dogs at home (golden retriever and chocolate lab🤍). In high school and throughout college, I began regularly pet sitting for local families and working professionals who did not have time during the week to give their dogs the love they needed. With experience across various breeds, I bring dedication and a deep understanding of pet care to every pet-sitting opportunity. Your pets are in great hands with me! I’m working full time, but remote 3 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, Friday). I am open to overnight care for long weekends, after work care, and lunchtime walks for local families. Growing up with pets has shown me the importance of true love and care for dogs. I always give them plenty of attention and treat them as if they were my own. I make it a point to leave your home better than I found it, always handling any accidents and keeping things tidy.

This is my second time booking with her, and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s always so kind, reliable, and my dog is clearly comfortable with her, I never have to worry when he’s in her care. She makes the whole process stress-free. Definitely booking again!

This is the second time that Aisling has taken care of my dog Sofia. I am always comfortable leaving her there as she has a fenced back yard, only takes one dog at a time, and gives regular walks. Aisling communicates at least once daily with written updates and photos which makes us feel at ease. She also responds immediately to all texts/communications etc. Thanks again Aisling and hope Sofia can stay with you again in the future.

Hannah was absolutely incredible with my dog, Moose! She took such great care of her and sent me the cutest photo updates throughout her stay. Moose clearly had the best time—she got plenty of exercise on her walks and looked so happy in every picture Hannah sent. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Moose already misses her and we will definitely be booking with Hannah again!
