“Danielle was amazing at loving on our pets, keeping to their routines, and sending us updates. We look forward to using her again and again as a sitter for our fur babies!”


“Jordan went above and beyond as a dogsitter at our house! She was so great with communication, we did not have to worry about anything. We returned to our house even cleaner than how we left it. I would recommend Jordan to anyone, and I definitely hope she is available next time we need a sitter!!”


“Tessa was awesome! Our pets had a great time, she was consistent with communication and left us completely unburdened regarding our furry family while on vacation! Would 1000% recommend Tessa to anyone in need of a hand with your pets!”


“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”


“We were gone for 10 days. Samantha house and dog sat. She is fantastic. Took care of them like they were her own. She even helped out and watered our outdoor plants since there was no rain. Highly recommended.”



“Star did a fabulous job housesitting and caring for my cat and 2 dogs, one of whom is super timid and requires lots of time and patience to earn her trust. The pets were all happy and relaxed when I returned, and my home was clean and tidy. Star is professional, great at communicating, and is flexible and accommodating too. I highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that your pets and home will be in the best hands while you're away.”

I hope you and Spam would be willing to help us out again in the future 😊!!”

“Sterling was amazing with my two dogs—my Border Collie and my Mini Aussie. She totally understood their personalities and made sure they got plenty of playtime, love, and attention.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for around three years now. My family has two cats and two dogs that I've helped care for and train since they were young. I also have experience with older animals and their needs since one of my dogs and one of my cats are twelve. I currently don't have any other summer employment, so my schedule is open. I am available mornings, afternoons and late evenings every day of the week and weekends, just not for overnight care. I can stop by throughout the day to feed, play with, and let out animals. I can also do short or long walks with dogs or even cats!

“Tanisha was so wonderful. Always a relief when your pets aren’t something you have to worry about while away and that was absolutely how it was with her. I appreciated the amount of updates she provided along the way. Happy pets upon return 🥰Hope to book again in the future”


“Caitlin surpassed our expectations! She gave us peace of mind our fur babies were fully taken care of. She made sure to keep me in the loop with updates and the most adorable pictures. She even brought extra treats that became a favorite. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to use her again in the future! Thank you Caitlin for everything! I know Bear and Coco miss you!”
