Jennifer was amazing with our old boy! She provided thorough and timely updates, I never had to wonder how Pugsley was doing and if he was behaving. We came home to a tidy home and a very happy dog! We can’t wait to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer again.

Judith and Cynthia were terrific. Pets were happy upon our return but I could see they were relaxed and had been well cared for. We will definitely seek these sitters out in the future. Thank you!

About: I have owned, raised and loved all kinds of dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personality types! Dogs have always been apart of my life and bring me so much happiness! I have trained my own dogs to walk on leash. I have also trained them to perform tricks such as shake, sit, lay down and “ready”. I have attended obedience classes with my own dogs and learned how to deal with behavioral problems such as overactive issues, jumping and potential aggression. For dog sitting I will ensure your dog or cat is safe, happy, and well cared for every time I come and visit. I would be so honored to come and walk or pet sit for you.

Mark was MORE THAN WONDERFUL!!! I’m usually a worry wart when leaving my cats or dog, but Mark really put my mind at ease. I knew my sweet babies were in good hands. He followed on instructions to a tee, asked questions for clarification, and sent us many, many pictures of our pets. I missed my 3 cats so much, but Mark made leaving them a little easier by taking such thorough care of them. We will not hesitate to book with Mark again in the future.

About: Hi, I’m George! I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have extensive experience handling large dogs (50lbs+), especially high-energy breeds that require long walks, exercise, and attention. I’m comfortable managing strong dogs and making sure they get the physical activity and care they need to stay happy and healthy. I provided ✅ frequent photo updates ✅ playtime and enrichment ✅ calm care for shy or anxious pets ✅ reliable routines and potty breaks Whether your dog loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or just needs a reliable and experienced walker, I’m here to help! I work on weekends noon till midnight but on the weekdays mornings I’m free and have the time to house sit and take dogs on long walks 😄 Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for.

Philip is one of the best dog sitters EVER! He was so caring and attentive. Chewbacca, our oldest, is very anxious and hates our leaving; we came home to him being completely content, as if we never left. And Philip took on babysitting Mika, a five-month-old puppy with a TON of energy -no problem, they got along great. The house was well cared for, the communication excellent. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Absolutely fantastic care and professionalism for our pets. Kind, caring and detail oriented. Great with both dogs and cats. They made our vacation special because we could see how well the pets were cared for — their wonderful, regular communication was superb! I highly recommend and would love to use their services again.
