“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”
“Tami is great. Our dogs are kind of weirdos, but she figured out their unique personalities quickly and sent lots of photos and updates. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Susana was amazing! Our three pets can sometimes be a little shy, but they warmed up to her very quickly. She kept in touch with us sending lots of pictures which we really appreciated. She even vacuumed. The house was very clean when we got home. Highly recommended!”
“Emily is outstanding as always. She truly cares about Penny. She always puts me at ease from being sad to leave our fur baby with her. Her and her family are the best, we are lucky to have her.”
About: I have had animals in my family and taken care of them since I was very young. I will treat your fur babies like they are my own. I have a very flexible schedule because my schedule is flexible I’m able to work any special requests to my day and I am willing to work with your schedule too. If the pet has an accident I will clean up the mess and if the pet needs walked I will walk them and if they need breakfast or dinner I will feed them and I will take them for walks and do what I can to meet your pets needs
“Stephanie stayed in our home with our 2 dogs over Spring Break. They were very comfortable with her and she was very warm and attentive to them. I will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“I trust Leila with Abigail completely. She immediately informed me when Leila was having some stomach pain, and was generous in sharing her veterinary knowledge with us, going as far as to write down food recommendations and tips for identifying illness. She was diligent in watching her and provided me constant updates until she was sure Leila was okay. She is simply wonderful to work with, extremely trustworthy, reliable, and professional. We are very grateful to her!”
“Hannah stayed in our home and watched our dog for a week. He is an older dog and needs medicine twice a day plus some extra TLC getting up and down steps or even the couch. She was wonderful! She was always in communication with me and sent pictures all the time which really put my mind at ease. She took such great care of him and our house too. I would highly recommend her!”
“I would recommend Kelsey for dog sitting and house sitting 1000%. She stayed in my home for 6 days and looked after my nervous, skittish dog so well that I actually enjoyed my trip and never worried about him or the house while I was gone. She kept my dog on his meal, med, and walk schedule, made adjustments based on a dangerous heatwave, and kept him company while giving him the space he needed to relax. I got photos and updates everyday and Kelsey was always quick to respond to any communication. I came home to a healthy and happy puppy and a well cared for house. I am looking forward to leaving things in Kelsey's very capable hands on my next trip!”
About: I’ve helped my friends and family take care of their dogs when they have needed it. I used to have a dog when I was younger that I helped take care of. I am a nanny on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but that will end when they go back to school soon. I would love to watch some furry friends on the other days I don’t work. In your own home I will use whatever is provided to take care of your pets. I will make sure to keep all doors closed when inside and use a leash when outside.
“Makayla is awesome! I have such bad anxiety leaving our boys she constantly updated me and let me know how they were doing with regular pictures. My dogs are full energy all the time so we know they can be a bit difficult to watch but Makayla seems to handle them with ease. This is the second time we have used her she definitely has repeat clients 😊”
About: I have an old dog that needs constant attention with pills and eyedrops a couple times a day so I am very good with animals. I could hang out and/or play with them all day without getting tired. I’m currently working part-time as a server with Red Robin. My availability with them says any day besides Fridays. I usually get Thursdays, Saturdays and Sunday. I’m currently working on getting a more consistent schedule I live in a pet friendly apartment near wide open parks and hikes for a dog to play outside. I have space in my apartment as well to play

Magdelyn S.
“I’ve had the pleasure of having Maggie care for my 5-year-old Labrador multiple times, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly reliable, kind, and attentive—not only with feeding and walking, but also with the little things that show she truly cares, like bringing toys, giving extra belly rubs, and making sure my dog felt safe and loved. My Lab is always excited to see her and comes home happy and well-exercised. It's clear she has a natural way with animals. Anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog walker or sitter would be lucky to have her!”
