Adriana was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. This was our first time having someone watch Caius and she kept us notified and sent photos the entire time. He is definitely more of a reactive dog and gets pretty territorial of our home, but he felt so comfortable with Adriana. She also watched him over the holidays which was much appreciated. We will absolutely be having her watch him again in the future. Thank you so much! ❤️

We were really nervous about going on vacation for two weeks, that was the longest we had left our dogs behind. Thankfully Jarrett made us feel so comfortable knowing he could handle our energetic big dogs. The daily updates were awesome. Not only did he follow feeding, walking and daily instructions but he went above and beyond for our fur babies. We cannot thank Jarrett enough!

About: I’ve grown up raising both dogs and cats, I’ve learned patience, love, and care, following exact instructions given. I pay close attention to their behavior to better understand them, never yelling, always understanding their boundaries. Every day, I feed my kitties, clean their bowls and water fountain, brushing them, clipping their nails, and cleaning out their litter boxes when needed. My dog passed away, but I would walk him every day, feed him, brush him, cuddle him. I spend all my time with them, always keep them in my sight, paying attention to their behavior and what they show me that they need at that time.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and large dogs. I've been a pet owner myself for a little over a year now, but I've helped raise and entertain my siblings' dogs since they were puppies. Some of my proudest pet-parent moments include teaching my cat to sit and teaching my sister's German Shepherd puppy to roll over! I love spending time with animals and was even voted "Most Likely to Have 10 Dogs and Cats" in my sorority. I'm active, love being outdoors, and enjoy walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention. I'm also experienced with feeding, baths, and cleaning up after pets. Having lived with German Shepherds and Huskies, I definitely understand the shedding struggle! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I am freshly post grad and taking the summer off to apply to medical schools, so I am able to do work remotely and my schedule is quite flexible. Hoping to spend time making new furry friends before jumping back into school :) When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your space with the same respect and attention I would want for my own. I have over 10 years of experience babysitting and nannying, which has taught me the importance of being dependable, communicative, and respectful of other people's homes. I was raised to leave things better than I found them, so you can expect me to keep your home tidy while providing attentive care for your pets. I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, make sure they get plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and videos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm also happy to provide references upon request. My goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and a home that feels just as you left it.

About: I have always loved taking care of all types of Animals since I was a little kid. From taking them out to go potty during, talking them on walks, or just simply hanging out with them in the home so they are not to lonely when the owners are away. I also have experience working in a vets office. I work in the school district, because of this I have lots of time during the summer months to help take care of your fur babies. Although I am unable to watch pets in my home I would be happy to come to you. If you have a safe yard to play in we could hang out there and throw the ball around or just bask in the sun with lots of pets and belly rubs. I love nature as much as I do animals so I would also love to take them on different adventures around the neighborhood as well

Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛

This was our second time having April and she was just as phenomenal as the first time. Foremost, our dog adores her which gives us tremendous peace. Also, her communication is great, she is always timely, sends lots of pictures, and is just a genuinely sweet person all around. She even made sure to leave the TV on for Benny and brought in our mail and packages. We are super grateful for April and hope she will be available in the future for our sweet Benny. Thank you so much, April!

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

Angelina did a fantastic job looking after out ancient and fragile whippet. She looked after his special needs perfectly. When our schedule changed unexpectedly she accommodated the changes easily. I will definitely have Angelina look after him again when I need someone.

Lauren was fantastic with our senior golden retriever with mobility issues and who required medication. She visited our home for a meet and greet and again for key drop off. She came to our home three times per day and meticulously cared for our family dog while we were gone for 12 days. Lauren was timely with communications and kept us updated on his care providing pictures and dialogue of his daily events. We would highly recommend Lauren for pet sitting with your pet of any abilities. We will definitely be using Lauren again as a dog sitter in the future!
