“Kim did a fabulous job taking care of my home and my two fur babies. She provided me with updates and pictures that definitely showed how comfortable they were in her presence. I will definitely use her in the future, she is my go-to sitter.”


“AAAAA++++ If you need an amazing, responsible, tuned in house/pet sitter look no further. We are incredibly grateful that Pam could fit us in her schedule and on short notice. She went above and beyond to make sure our scared cat (who hides from new people), got food in her system while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures that put us at ease. Our pets were so comfortable in her presence they looked for her when we got home. Our cats are older, grumpy and have various diets and important asthma medications -we appreciate her attention to detail so our pets could get what they needed following our similar routines. The house was cleaner than we left it, plants watered and happy kitties. We will definitely be using Pam again for a stress free vacation.”


“Alyssa stayed overnight with our two large dogs and left the house in incredible shape and we came home to two very happy pups! One of our dogs has a number of medical needs (three legs, epilepsy, IBS) and she took incredibly good care of him. Would highly recommend and will reach out to book !”


“Olivia was wonderful! I felt entirely confident that our dogs and our house were in good hands. Communication was great. Our spoiled pups were very happy when we got home.”


“We hired Erica to house sit and watch our 9 year old Doberman for half a week. Even with an unfortunate run-in with a skunk (not her fault, onviously), she kept us up to date and informed as to what was going and took care of the situation wonderfully. Her and her daughter left our house better than they found it and we'd be happy to have her help again.”


“Christy was great with our dogs, and I really appreciated the level of communication and pictures. Very responsive and reliable, and had availability to help over the holidays.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with cats, rabbits, hamsters, chicks, and ducks. Since 2018, I’ve raised a leash-reactive rescue dog, working through behavior training, crate training, and potty training. He’s now a well-adjusted senior, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet behavior, patience, and compassionate care. I’m currently pursuing my nursing degree and seeking part-time work. I’m flexible throughout the week, with availability after 4pm on Saturdays. Reliable and consistent. I’m committed to providing dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care situation. While I prefer to care for pets in their own home to maintain their routine and reduce stress, I’m also able to welcome them into mine if needed. I have a securely fenced yard, a calm and friendly senior dog, and a clean, pet-friendly space where your fur baby will feel safe and loved. My goal is always to provide a nurturing environment that supports your pet’s well-being, whether in your home or mine.

“I am so grateful to have found David! He did an excellent job watching my babies while I was out of town. He went above and beyond and for that I am truly grateful. I could tell when I got back the girls just loved him.”

Alexis B.
“Hello there, To whom it may concern, I have known Alexis for about fifteen years now. She loves dogs and other animals. She has her own dog, Mo, when Mo chose Alexis he had some leash reactive issues. well, through time, patience, training and being a loving caring person they were able to workout those reactive tendencies. And now Mo is the best dog he can be. If I needed someone to watch or care for my dog, I would most definitely have her! So, if you need someone to care for your pet/friend I would trust Alexis. Thanks for your time! Oren B.”
