“Fantastic sitter! She went above and beyond—taking care of everything I requested and even using the toys in my apartment to actively engage both of my pets during her visit. She was punctual, and my pets immediately warmed up to her. Before the visit, she asked thoughtful questions and was incredibly flexible when I needed to adjust my bookings. I highly recommend her and will definitely be requesting her again!”
“I would give her 10 stars if I could! I have an anxious, but happy and playful pup who warmed up to Amanda quickly as she is very patient, kind, and gentle. She sent the CUTEST photo updates, was super punctual, and gave great descriptions of the visits. I am super appreciative of her and will ABSOLUTELY book her again in the future! I highly recommend you do the same ❤️ ?”

About: We are a family of three and have cared for fur babies for the past 26 years! We had our first fur baby, Brielle a Shit-zu/Pekingese mix and she was with us for 18 years old. Then, we had two miniature schnauzers, Cindy, 14 years old that was Brielle’s sister, and soon after, Mindy that came along. She was full of life and a very loyal companion to her parents. We recently lost her this past fall at 15 years old! We currently have Luna, a 3 1/2-year-old rescued hound lab mix that we adopted from Hope Life Rescue. She is beautiful, smart, and a very loving dog that gets along with kids and other dogs; and loves to chase squirrels and rabbits in the yard. We would like the opportunity to shower your fur babies with lots of love and attention! We know how important it is to feel at ease when you are away, and to know that they are being taken care of.
“Brittany is just the best! We are so happy to have met her! Knowing the pups are in such good hands means we don’t have to worry about making plans without them. And they love her too!”
“Lauren was amazing! It was my first time using drop ins and she made me feel comfortable and was very communicative! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Will always be reaching out to Kelly first whenever I’m in need!”
“Katherine did a fantastic job taking care of our pups. For two weeks, she was very consistent with two drop-ins per day and sent us great write ups and pics for each visit. It's a comforting feeling knowing that our pups were being well cared for while away. Katherine is very good with any senior dare care needs and is excellent at her job. We give her a 10 out of 10, Gold Star rating and we will definitely have her care for our pups again soon.”
“Dan is an absolute joy! He’s amazing with Jovie- our Bichon, and puts up with two cats as well! Jovie adores her drop in time and Dan puts my mind at ease! Highly recommend!”
“Hailey is amazing! So kind, trustworthy, so responsive. Friendly, caring. We truly have nothing but amazing things to say and will 100% be requesting her moving forward.”
“Kate was great, she was always on time and took great care of scoob!”
About: I’ve taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs since i was younger. I love learning new things about your dog or cat and finding ways i can help. My personal dog has diabetes, I have to give her insulin shots every morning and night after she eats. I’ve been giving her shots for about 3 years now. If your dog needs any shots I have personal experience giving them. I work part time, but i’ve had a lot more time on my hands, so i would love to help take care of your dog and or cat. I feed, play, take walks, bathe, cuddle, and give lots of attention when they want it. I give them their space when they want it.
“Erica was super helpful in a last minute situation and absolutely saved us! Definitely recommend for anyone needing help with a pup!”
“Kelly was great! Came in and checked in on my pup multiple days, took him for walks and gave him all the love. Will definitely be my first choice for future dog sitting. ❤️”
About: I recently dropped in on a dog 3 times a week. I would take him out for potty breaks, walks, and also give her a bone before I left. I wish I had a dog if my own and being able to help others is amazing. I am a student athlete so I know how to manage time and I am very reliable. I am pretty flexible with times, just contact me if anything changes. I’d love to help you out in any way and get the chance to hang/take care of your lovely dog. Let me know about any questions you may have. I have a dog of my own but I am home for a bit. I’m a college student so I can walk or drop in any time as long as it works with my class schedule. Weekends I am normally open depending on volunteering and soccer games. I have a fenced in back yard that has a good amount of room for the dogs to play. I also love close to several parks that the pup could run around at.
