“Julie was fantastic with our 3 dogs! She took care of them as if they were her own. She sent pictures every day and checked in with us on their well being. We have tried so many things, boarding and other house sitters and have never had such a great experience! She even offered to wash the sheets before we got home late at night! The house was left so clean and as though no one had been here. She is phenomenal!!!”


“Katelyn took great care of our two golden retrievers! She shared photos, sent daily updates, and went above and beyond to care for our home and dogs while we were gone. I highly recommend booking Katelyn and definitely will trust her with our pups again in the future!”

“Kayla was fantastic with our two dogs while we were away on a family trip. She kept us updated with lots of pictures, which we loved! Knowing our dogs were in such good hands with Kayla made our trip so much less stressful. She's the best! ⭐️”

“Robbie is incredibly reliable and I swear she is a dog whisperer! Ha! No joking aside, Robbie is very intune to our elderly dog and her medications. She made several suggestions about medication administration, since it is all new to us, which has worked great!! You cannot go wrong with Robbie and her care for your animals.”


“Haleigh was very concerned about our elderly dog’s health. She made sure she knew how to exactly give her medicine. She took pictures and videos and you just know she is providing excelellent care to our dog. I will definitely use her again!”

“Patti helped tremendously with our cat and dog. She updated us continuously and even left us a note to tell us how everything went. We hope to get to have Patti stay and watch our pets again!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing ! We received several pictures and videos a day, took the babies on trips. She made leaving them so much easier than I thought. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

“Kimberly was a life saver. Our regular sitter was unavailable which left us scrambling to find another sitter last minute. Kimberly was able to meet with very little notice and the dogs loved her immediately. She took great care of our Great Danes and did everything we asked. I would recommend.”

“I was so happy Mariah could accommodate my last minute request. Mariah arrived on time and re-introduced her to Gabby (they had a meet and greet). Gabby was well taken care of and I would definitely use Mariah again.”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. From playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and hands-on care, I’m experienced with it all—including helping with feeding, hydration, and bathroom needs. I’m a true animal lover and go above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working full time but am available during weekends at anytime, anytime before 9 am, and anytime after 5 pm. I'm usually up by 4:30 am so I can start the day early. I can watch any dog at your home whether or not you have a fenced in area. I currently don't have my own space I live in apartments so it is limited but not totally unavailable
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I’ve worked with small and medium breeds, from blind senior dogs to energetic puppies. With about 6 years of experience, I also offer basic dog training, ensuring your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for on every walk. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for daily walks and can easily fit pet care into my routine. Since I already walk my own dogs every day, caring for and exercising dogs is a natural part of my schedule. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, as I live in an apartment with roommates. In your home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions.
“Nichole was awesome! With my dog having a lot of anxiety, I’m a bit picky with who I have watching the animals. My plans had changed and the stay wound up only being for a couple of hours rather than overnight but by the end of it my dog didn’t want her to leave. She’s so sweet, considerate and well communicative. I will definitely be using her again.”

“I was out of town from Sunday through Thursday. I was a little nervous about a stranger watching my pets. But she really came through. She communicates right away and I came home to a clean house and happy pets. I would definitely use her again.”

“Absolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her again”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies to Suzanne!!!! She was fantastic and went over and above the call of duty during the stay!!! I recommend Sue and will request her again!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor P, I’m 20 years old and have been house sitting for over a year now with two amazing clients. I care for both dogs and cats and have grown up around them my whole life. I also have two special needs cats of my own, so I’m very patient, attentive, and detail-oriented when it comes to care. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Yes, pet care fits well into my daily schedule. I balance work and school while house sitting, and I always plan my days around the pets in my care. I make sure they are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and stick to their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get exercise and playtime. I also keep their environment clean and safe. Since I have experience with special needs pets, I’m very attentive to behavior changes and comfortable giving medications or extra care if needed.
“Lindsey was so accommodating, communicative, and friendly. She was great to work with and made me feel so comfortable leaving my two pups. She kept me updated all weekend and eased every fear I had. She sent regular pics and asked questions when needed.”
