“Lauren was friendly and even came a little early! I left for work knowing Diego was a happy pup in good hands. He greeted her with lots of kisses and even took the initiative to find out where cleaning supplies were after I mentioned Diego happy pees and cleaned up after him without needing to be asked. We will definitely be repeat customers! Thanks Lauren :)”


“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Heather. After a few disappointing encounters with other sitters who didn’t even show up to meet our dog, Heather was a breath of fresh air. Not only did she show up as promised, but she immediately connected with our dog, treating him with genuine warmth and affection. While we were away, Heather cared for our pup as if he were her own—providing regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear he was in loving and capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Heather to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations.”


“We are very pleased with Lindsey. She took real good care of our Rocky. She communicated with us the entire time she was caring for our pup. We highly recommend her and we definitely use her again in the future.”


“Mary Jane is an amazing sitter. First time having her sit for our two dogs. Two days before we left one of our dogs had to be put on crate rest. I was worried we would have to cancel our trip. Mary Jane came over and was confident there would be no issues. She followed the med schedule and did logs like I asked. AMAZING communication. Our one timid dog loved having her and even sat in her lap. Will be hiring again!”


About: Hello!! My name is Briana, but I go by Bri :). I’ve been caring for animals most of my life. I”ve had guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and fish. I have my own cat for over 5 years and have regularly helped friends and family with their pets while they are on vacation. Whether that’s walking them, feeding them, playtime or cuddles. I’m all about giving your fur babies a comfortable and loving space as well as giving you a peace of mind! :) I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday. I get off around 4:30-5 each day (depends) and I’m pretty much free on most weekends :) I prefer not to care in my home since I still live with my parents. However, in your home, I would make sure your pet gets the love and care they need and deserve! I will make sure they stay hydrated, fed, loved for, play with them, even take them on walks or cuddle and watch a movie! :)

“This was the first time we left our puppy Fiona. We left her with Evangeline and couldn’t be more pleased. Fiona loves her. Our puppy and home were very well taken care of. We would definitely use Evangeline again!”


“Aly was truly amazing. The moment she said my old lady aloof cat had cuddled with her, The stress of leaving my fur kids with someone new melted away. The whole craw absolutely love her and she sent pictures. She just completely put my mind at ease and we’ll be booking with her again.”


“Rebecca stayed at my home to care for my dog & cat. I found her to be caring, thoughtful, attentive, and professional, every step of the way. Arrived home to find my pets thoroughly loved on and cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”


“Tiffany did so well with our girls! They were just as fat and happy when we got home as when we left! She sent pictures regularly and was excellent with communication! We will definitely be re-booking!”


About: I have cared for friends and family dogs. I think they can tell when you like them. I’ve always been able to connect with dogs. I’m retired. I was an LPN for 30yrs. I have lots of free time to care for your dog. I definitely can give them meds.😊 If you have fenced yard. I’d play with them clean up and check on them often and bring them in and make sure gates are secure.

“Grace was amazing! Not only did she come meet my pup before the overnight stay, but she was in constant contact during the stay, sending photos and videos! She was extremely tidy in the house, and most importantly, my pup loved her! I can not recommend Grace enough. We will definitely be booking her for future stays!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs (family, friends, my own) for 15 years. Dogs are pure love when they get to know you and I treat them like part of my family. Walks, proper nutrition and socialization are critical for an overall well-balanced life. I want to help you give a happy life to your pup in whatever stage of life he/she is in. I do work remotely (from home) at a full time job so my pet care hours would be limited before/after work and possibly during lunch breaks. It’s so important that your dog feel comfortable with me in their home. So I make a point to have at least one (or more) meet-and-greets at your home with you there to get your dog used to the idea of seeing me in that space. If you are scheduling a drop in visit, this will include potty breaks, replenishing water (or food if instructed) and play time. Walks will be one dog at a time but will also include replenishing water bowls.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and developed a deep love and respect for animals from an early age. I grew up with two cats, one of whom was truly my best friend. She was by my side 24/7 throughout my childhood, and her passing was incredibly difficult, a reminder of just how deep the bond with an animal can be. I also regularly cared for a neighbor’s dog while he was in hospice. I’ve looked after friends’ pets while they were on vacation, always making sure they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, they often make the most loyal and understanding companion I am currently working Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. I am willing to check in on animals during week days before I go into work and after. I am ok with staying overnight as well. I am available on weekends whatever times are needed. In client’s home I follow the directions of care that they have requested for their pet. I also start by greeting the pets and making sure they get as much love as they need as it is difficult for them when their owner is not there.

“We were in town for a wedding and Hope was able to watch our pup in the hotel very last minute! She communicated with us the entire time and sent us pictures of our fur baby. He loved her and it meant so much to us! We highly recommend her!”

About: I have had the honor of having dogs my entire life. Recently, helped my daughter potty training her last to rescue puppies. They have become protectors of my grandchildren. I'm currently enjoying my summer break and would love to offer my services for walks during the early mornings and evenings. On cooler days, I’m also available for midday walks. Additionally, if you need overnight care, I can provide that service in your home upon request. Currently, I do not have pets in my home, as I do not have a fenced yard that would allow them to safely play and enjoy outdoor activities.

“This was our first time using a professional pet sitter and we were going on a trip where we had limited access to email, text, message and phone. It was very difficult for us to leave our pups with someone we didn't know, but let me tell you...I've never seen my pups happier when I returned home. Nate sent lots of updates, so that we would know what was going on at home and contacted me immediately when he thought something wasn't right with one of my pups. Nate also left our home in pristine condition. I highly recommend Nate as a pet sitter and we will definitely use him again.”
