“Our dog Cairo recently spent two weeks with Regina and he had the best time! He can be a little nervous in new environments, but Regina treated him as one of her own and he settled in so quickly. He had so much fun playing! We loved the pictures and updates about how he was doing. We're so thankful that we found Regina for when we need a sitter and we will most definitely be using her in the future!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! [Sitter’s Name] was incredibly attentive, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in great hands. Communication was excellent—daily updates, photos, and little notes that made us smile. Even when our dog had a little accident on his bed, Mariah handled it with patience and care. It’s clear they went above and beyond. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again. Thank you for treating our dog like family!”

About: Hi, I would love to watch your dog while you are away! I have always wanted a job working with animals...and I think this is a perfect fit for me. I will treat your pet like family, exactly like I do for my dog and cats! I have a ten year old lab mix named Max and three cats. Max is very friendly and loves other dogs. I have many years experience with different breeds of dogs, dogs with anxiety, and elderly pups. I have a fenced in yard that my dog enjoys, and I also take him for walks. I'm ready to give your dogs my full attention and love! ❤❤ I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pet! I'm available for boarding, dog walking, and drop in visits. My partner (Autumn) does work full time in retail so her schedule does fluctuate but she is available for dog walking and drop in visits before or after her shifts. She also helps out a lot when we have pups staying with us. She is also handles most of the scheduling. She is the more organized of the two of us 😅. If you have any questions about anything regarding your pets care just let us know. I have a fenced in yard and animals to keep your baby company. My partner is an animal lover also, so we will both give your pet lots of love. We also work slightly different schedules throughout the week, so your baby won’t be left alone or if they are it won’t be for long. We also have a separate room for the cats that is separated by a baby gate that we use to separate guests if we have to step out for any reason. That way everyone stays safe and supervised. We also try to send lots of pictures. When we go away I know how much we miss our babies so I always try to keep that in mind and send updates and pictures.


“Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of our pup! Taking care of a young puppy is a big job, and she took it on with competence, grace, and kindness. Our puppy seemed to have a wonderful time there, with lots of outdoor adventures and indoor snuggles. Cindy kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, and we never worried about how she was doing. We are so thankful we found her to watch Dove and look forward to another stay in the future!”


“Dawn was absolutely AMAZING. You can tell she is very passionate about what she does. She sends you so many pictures of your pet so you know they are doing great and we REALLY appreciate that. If you ever want someone to watch your pet let it be her! we will 100% be having our dog come back here!”

“You will find yourself very fortunate if you are able to book Drew for pet sitting. Her experience and knowledge of pet behavior really helped set my mind at ease. I just moved to the area from Colorado and I have a senior dog that has been my companion and has gone everywhere with me for the last 10 years. She is an indoor dog used to be pampered. This is the first time I was unable to take her on a road trip with me. You can imagine my stress, apprehension and uncertainty to leave her with someone I had just met. During my meet and greet session with Drew I had a new sense of reassurance. She listened to me validated me and followed all my instructions. She communicated with me several times a day including photos & videos. Drew was flexible with me during my uncertain schedule. My dog was taken care of very well. Drew was able to adjust to any issues that came up quickly and appropriately. She was also competent & confident administering medication’s as needed for my dog. I would highly recommend Drew for your pet sitting needs. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
