“I cannot say enough good things about Eric! He came over to meet my stranger-danger pup a few days before I went out of town and has above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe,comfortable and well cared for while I’m gone! The updates I’ve gotten throughout my trip have reassured me that they are having a great time while I travel. I’ll definitely be having him pet sit again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Gabriel. We met with our dogs, to see how they would be together and he and I talked about the weekend I needed puppy-sitting. Instead of either staying at his apt or mine, because she is a very recent rescue, I asked if he could keep her at his place during the day but then have all 3 of them come and sleep at my apt at night. I did this so that she would know that even if she gets dropped off somewhere else, she is ALWAYS coming back to her home. This worked out very well and he is just the most caring person when it comes to our dogs. I don't travel very often, but I would like to confirm that he is a magnificent pet sitter and I hope he gets lots of business because he deserves all good things!!!”
“Kyleigh took care of our post-op senior dogs over several days, and everything was wonderful. She gave them meds, removed the cones for meal time, and made sure they were snuggled and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a more responsible and respectful caregiver. Highly recommended!”
“Katie was great! Our pups had ample company and were well taken care of. I appreciated the pupdates annd photos and that she took them on walks when it wasn’t too hot.”
“Opal always does a great job watching my dogs. They were snuggling up with her before I even left the house. She is also great at sending updates like pictures and she was respectful of my house and didn't leave a mess or anything!”
“I am very happy with Louise staying with Toby. She spent a lot of time with him; was successful at getting my picky dog to eat. Louise sent me pictures and I was very comfortable with Louise. I would recommend her highly”
“Grace stayed overnight with my 3 month old puppy. She spent the whole night with him, kept up with his feeding and potty schedule and my aparment was exactly how I left it when I got back. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a pet they love!”
“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”
“loved Suzanne! she was amazing with our dog Neutron, very responsive, and totally saved us last minute! She sent pictures when she arrived and before she left so we knew Neutron was safe and well taken care of. Looking forward to having Suzanne again!”
About: I've never not had pets in my life. I've had one dog - a jack russel terrier who lived to be an old man of 16. I used to volunteer at PAWS Animal Shelter as a dog walker, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I love getting to know a new dog and seeing their distinct personalities shine through. I'm currently working Tues-Sat 3-10pm, so I am available for morning or late night check-ins and Sunday/Monday day long care. I can be pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out and see if we can work something out that works for you. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am comfortable following whatever routine your pet is used to. The more details you can leave me, the better. I want my care to be as seamless and stress-free for your pet as possible.
“Maysen came to the campground we were staying at to keep our dog for the day, since the scenic train ride we wanted to take didn’t allow dogs. She arrived early, was very polite and friendly, and Waylon loved her. We were very pleased with her service. Would recommend and book with her again.”

Tyler W.
“I cannot say enough good things about Tyler! I have a large, energetic dog who loves to pull and can be a real handful on walks. I’ve always been super hesitant to leave him with anyone because of that, but Tyler handled him with total confidence. He’s strong, calm, and clearly experienced—my dog actually came back tired, which never happens! It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. Tyler also kept me updated with photos and little check-ins which I really appreciated. Will definitely book him again!”

Suzanne did a great job caring for our two small quirky senior rescue dogs. One in particular needed some time to adjust and Suzanne was very patient in giving her extra attention. Suzanne was responsive when contacted and had good communication. The house was very tidy and clean and everything was in order. We highly recommend her!
