“We have continued to book with Karen. She follows all care instructions and goes the extra step to make sure Charlie is comfy. She is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. She also takes Charlie on extra walks. I know he loves being with Karen because he’s always super excited to see her. We’ll continue to book with Karen!”
“Lorena was absolutely exceptional! She watched my dog, Gizmo, for 17 days and cared for him like he was her own family. She sent multiple photo updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the photos and messages that Gizmo was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Lorena is attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would trust her with Gizmo again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care.”
“Stephanie and her family are amazing with my mini goldendoodle Nova! She sends the best pictures and videos and truly provides a loving home away from home! We love her!”
“We had to book a very last minute Rover and Lisa and her family were very willing to work with us and take our pup off our hands for the weekend. Our pup can sometimes get depressed when we leave her, but the pictures that Lisa sent us showed that Bailey was having a great time. Would definitely use again. Close to Riverwalk for anyone going on a vacation as well.”
“Priscilla was a great help! Due to an unfortunate situation our sitter cancelled leaving me with a small window of time to find another sitter. Priscilla was great with Pebbles. We received daily picture updates! Will most certainly be using her again!”
“Amazing sitter for our furry child! Breanna was very reassuring and friendly and has the cutest little yard for the pups All of our fur babies got a long very well and I know tater tot had a blast Very good at responding on time and making sure tater was comfortable and happy 10/10 recommend!!”
“Grey and his partner were wonderful. My dog was well cared for and loved, and I already booked her next visit with them. My dog doesn't need special accommodations, but they were prepared for extra time, yard time (she loved that), sleep on furniture, etc. They also communicated well for meet/greet, drop off, pick up, and the times they were in the house - with pictures. My pup is heading back for my next out of town trip, because she liked staying there.”
About: I grew up with a rabbit named bunny honey, a bird named Charlie, and I now have my sweet pit/lab mix Soto, whom I adopted! I work full time Mon-Fri but drop in on my own dog during lunch as I work 10 mins away! I am able to keep your baby in my home, if you’re okay with that schedule. I am home during the weekends and go on walks and parks with my own pup, so yours is more than welcome to join. I am an incredible adaptable and patient person. I work with children which definitely calls for patience. I love all animals and treat them as if they are human. Share with me the specifics about your fur baby and I will be sure to treat them with all the love while you’re away!
“Kara was fantastic and my pup definitely enjoyed staying with her! She took excellent care of Toby, my Doberman, and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay. She took great care of him and she had great communication throughout. I really appreciated her responsiveness and attentiveness.”
“Renee is the best!! I felt like she loved our pup like her own. She took him for walks, snuggled, and kept us updated with pictures, videos, etc. there wasn’t a fear or doubt that our buddy was getting just as much love and attention as if he were home! So grateful for Renee!”
“Excellent dog sitter very efficient my fur baby enjoyed his stay with Felicia. She was very responsive and punctual with my doggie definitely will book her in the future :-)”
“Millie had a blast at Elizabeth house! She was sad when she came back home lol Elizabeth communicated with me every day assuring that Millie was doing great and sent over pics daily ☺️”
“What a treat for my fur baby! Last minute trip that came up and so I decided to try this service. Amber and family were just wonderful! Thank you do much!”
“Emily was fantastic! She took exceptional care of my dog during our overnight stay. I received updates/photos and knew my pup was in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
“Agustin and his family were excellent with Luciano! They were not only accommodating but they made sure to send updates with photos and videos to reassure us that Luciano was well taken care of. I am feeling at peace now that I have found a place where Luciano will be loved and cared for whilst I'm not in town or away. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for board their pupper!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with this family caring for our Bentley! From the very beginning, they provided frequent communication, along with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Bentley received excellent care and clearly felt right at home. We especially appreciated how comfortable he was with their family, including the small children and their older dogs. They were attentive, loving, and made sure Bentley was well cared for throughout his stay. It’s not always easy leaving your fur baby with someone else, but this family made the entire experience so reassuring and stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care they gave Bentley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter! 🐾❤️”

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Max! He has cared for our sweet boy many times while we’ve traveled internationally, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing Louis is in such loving hands. Max has the best energy, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely loves the dogs he's caring for. He sends tons of pictures and updates, which I absolutely love when we’re so far from home. Louis is always so happy to see him. Finding someone you trust this completely with your beloved dog is priceless. We absolutely adore Max and couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Another great stay with Dorthy! I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl with her again, and she took such good care of her. Dorthy kept me updated with photos throughout the stay and was once again super flexible and easy to communicate with. It’s such a relief having someone I can trust to care for my pup while I’m away. We will definitely be booking with Dorthy again!
Yvonne has watched our dog for two overnight stays with one being for over two weeks. She is very proactive with communication and responds quickly. I loved the photos and updates she sent while we are away - providing us comfort that our dog was well cared for. We trust Yvonne and recommend her.
It looked as though Thor settled right in and made himself at home! I’m so thankful he was the only one there as he does not like to share space with other animals. After the excitement of returning home he relaxed and was acting normal again very quickly which we are so thankful for. Thanks for all the update pictures to ease our minds!
Alana was fantastic with our dog, Jane! We really appreciated that she personalized Jane’s stay since she can be a little nervous in new situations. Also, the many picture updates (including a cute photo shoot) put us as ease to know Jane was having a great time. Jane can’t wait to go back!
Ana took great care of my sweet Buddy! It was his first time to have anyone watch him. Ana texted photos and updates from time to time. She allowed me to bring his kennel, blanket, bed, and toys! I think he was as comfortable as he could be while being in a new place without his family! Thank you Ana! I'll book you again when I take my next trip!
Jessyca was absolutely amazing with our dog, Ellie! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew Ellie was in loving and capable hands. Jessyca treated Ellie like she was part of her own family, giving her so much love, attention, and excellent care. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile every day. It was clear that Ellie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Jessyca went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for everything she did. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional to care for their pet.
