“Mariah was amazing and my boys loved her. She updated us many times every day and also sent lots of photos. We will definitely be using her in the future!!”


“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”


“Brigit was excellent. Went out of her way to come meet my dogs first before the in house sitting. She was on time and took great care of my boys. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. One of my dogs had just dislocated his shoulder too and and I felt even more comfortable knowing with her experience and current schooling my boy would be in good hands and she would know what to do if an emergency came up.”


“Dont really want to extole Laurie's work here because I want to keep her the best secret ever, but that wouldn't be fair. She's kind, smart, conscientious, flexible, my dogs LOVE her. She's great! The house was tidy and her communication was just right, not too much but enough to give me confidence that all was going well. I'm going to book her again any chance I get.”


“My dogs loved spending time with Michael and even walked with him. They don’t usually walk with anyone but me or my kids. My dogs immediately warmed up to him and seemed very happy and content when I arrived home. I have already booked him again. I’m very happy with his services. He communicated well and did a great job.”


“Max was great with our dog! He was attentive to detail and asked questions to make sure our dog was being well taken care of. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


“Regan took great care of our fur babies and communicated very well. I really appreciated her straight forward and honest communication. Thank you so much for helping us out in a pinch!”


“Kaylin is an outstanding house sitter. She took care of Tigger (cat) for 2 weeks and did a super job and sent pictures everyday and left the house spotless. We will definitely be using her again.”


About: Dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I take time to understand your dog’s unique needs to ensure they feel secure and loved while you’re gone. There’s nothing better than to come home to a happy, tail wagging dog. I am currently a grad student at the University of New Mexico. Pet sitting is something I look forward to each week to take my mind off of all my studies. I enjoy spending time with pets to relieve their stress as well as mine. I take pride in providing respectful, attentive care in your home. Keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routine, giving them affection, exercise, and calm companionship. I treat every home with the same care I would my own, ensuring everything is clean, secure, and just as you left it.

“Ck B. did a great job of house and pet sitting for me. My precious pup, Luna, warmed up to Ck very quickly. Ck is a consumate professional and I am very appreciative that she spent considerable time at my home, while I was out of town. I also appreciate Ck's due diligence to my pet's care and feeding, as well as her sending me photos of Luna to keep me informed. I will definitely request Ck for future house and pet sitting.”


About: I've been a pet caretaker for most of my 45 years, but I only put 25 in the years experience because those adult years of my life have been most dedicated to pet care. I am a serial adopter of rescue animals, so I'm well versed in pet conditions that need special care. I don't crate our animals and I love them all unconditionally. If you have a pet that needs special attention or even a modicum of training, I'd be happy to help you take care of them. I'm a military veteran and author working from home. I spend my entire day spoiling my pets (I have both cats and dogs, and they get along well enough). I walk the dogs daily, sometimes more than once. The dogs get brushed regularly and the cats get brushed if they make an appearance or we can catch them. As mentioned earlier, I do not crate our pets. I prefer to let them roam, but I occasionally do block off certain areas of the house to prevent naughty behavior. The pets are always rewarded for good behavior with snacks.

About: My dogs, Tuffy and Jefe, just recently passed due to the sickness of old age. I got them about 16 years ago when I was just a little girl. I took care of them like they were family, cause they were! I trained the dogs many skills; Sit, Stay, Walk, Guard, Talk, you name it. They lost those skills as they grew into elderly animals. Tuffy, had a stroke and his back legs were paralyzed for the last 4 years of his life. I helped him learn how to stand and walk all on his own again. Jefe simply fell a victim to typical elderly animal symptoms. Blindness, Deafness, inability to control their bladders, inability to smell. He grew very timid and was refusing to eat. I helped him how to relearn his balance and learn the vibration in the floors, I helped him relearn to eat. I want to help you with your fur baby, young or elderly! All ages are just as precious as the rest. I'm currently in school part time which leaves me plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I'm also very active and love taking dogs on walks. I do not offer onboarding services at this time. Any mess made in your home will be cleaned on the spot. I am very respectful of others' spaces.

“Val sit my fur babies twice now and she is phenomenal! My animals were happy when I got home and she did everything I asked. She even went back to stay with my golden retriever Karma when my flight was canceled and I was stuck out of town an additional night. I will definitely be having Val stay with my fur babies again the next time I’m away.”
