“Julie was fantastic with our dog. She took him to dog parks, cleaned him when he found mud puddles and left our house in perfect condition. She is a very good communicator, and send multiple pictures and videos every day which was appreciated. Our dog was in good hands!”


“Louisa and her daughter did a great job of communicating with me, though their stay was short. My cat loved the attention they gave her. Her coat was beautifully soft and clean from all the brushing. I would definitely schedule them again when I am out of town.”


“Kaitlyn was an absolute sweetheart and such a great communicator! Prior to our first booking, she asked thoughtful questions about what she could do to prepare and be well-informed, which I appreciated. She sent me photos and updates while caring for Princeton and also gave me a great recap after I got home. I highly recommend Kaitlyn and will definitely book her again!”



“Hannah was awesome with our 11 year old rescue dog. She was great with walks and an overnight stay. She sent pictures to us and also left our home spotless. We highly recommend Hannah and will definitely request her in the future! We are so fortunate to have someone so reliable!!!”


“Terry took great care of our old man dog, including his medication needs. She was very responsive, and sent photo updates. Came home to a clean house (probably cleaner than we left it! :)”


“Marley goes above and beyond and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Our cat has to take medication and she did great handling that. We were out of town and I trusted her completely. She offered updates and pictures and we knew our cat was in great hands. Her knowledge and professionalism sets her apart from the rest! :)”


“Erika was great. She is a delightful person who gleefully mixed with my two furry sweet beasts. When I returned home, everything was in fine shape and the dogs were very happy. I will surely contact her in the future when I travel.”


“Robert did a great job watching Sadie while we were out of the country for a week. He sent updates every day along with pictures. She looked so happy on her walks and when he was just hanging out with her. I recommend Robert!”


“Ann did a great job caring for our dog and even made friends with our very shy cat. She was very responsive and sent lots of updates, which were very reassuring since this was the first time we’ve left our dog at home overnight. Our dog was happy and calm when we returned. We will definitely rebook with her if she is available!”


“Sidney was great! Very attentive, patient and kept us updated the whole time! We have a very energetic pup who is still learning manners and she was patient with him. We also have an old girl who can be a little unsure of new people and she gave her the time and space to warm up to her. The dogs were in great hands! We will be using Sidney again!”


“Anna is a fantastic dog sitter who goes above and beyond for her clients. Before having Anna sit for us for the first time, she made the effort to come by and visit our pup. This was so important for there reasons: 1. Gave our pup the opportunity to become friends with Anna; 2. Allowed our dog to feel comfortable in her home with this new friend; and 3. Gave us the opportunity to show Anna where the important things for our dog are in the house. Anna is prompt and communicative. She gave us photo and text updates throughout her visit. She is clearly a kind and respectful person and dogs seem to love her immediately. I will most definitely reach out to Anna again for any dog sitting/house sitting occasions.”


“Thanks James for taking excellent care of Maserati! He was happy and healthy for our visit even thought he had some complicated health issues with his old age. James took care of our house and dog amazingly! Thank you!”


“Rose is very enthusiastic and interacts wonderfully with our 5 month old puppy! She is very in-tune to our pup’s schedule and does a nice job of interacting with her when she wants to play play play and recognizes when she is ready to nap! Rose is so thoughtful, she saved a tooth that our puppy lost so we could have it as a keepsake! Thank you, Rose!”


“This is our second time booking Kally while we were away and couldn’t have felt more confident and comfortable with her care. She’s amazing with timely responses, answering questions, following instructions and (best of all) sending all the adorable zoomie pictures and videos 😍 10/10 sitter of pets!!”


“Sara was great with a last minute booking when my regular sitter had an emergency. I appreciated her willingness to look after Ollie on short notice. She was great with him and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”


About: I’ve been caring for my own cats since I was in 3rd grade, learning the importance of caring for them in many aspects through feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, and respecting their needs of play time vs needing space. I started caring for my friends animals in college and that’s when I learned more about dogs and how to tell what dogs are friendly, when they need space, etc. Respecting animals and giving them the love and care they deserve is of utmost importance to me. I have a fairly flexible job, so I’m able to fit in visits almost any time of day. The only day I’m not flexible is Sunday, I work a mandatory 12 hour, so could stop in after my shift but not before or during. Respecting people’s space and privacy is important to me, if I’m walking your dog and caring for your cats, you can trust me to do the job at hand and leave your space in one piece. Keeping a clean home is important to me, so you can rest assured that if your pet makes a little mess, it will be cleaned up for you and you’ll never know it happened.

“Taylor was so great! I left my boys with her for an 8 night long stay while going to Europe and she made me feel so at ease by sending so many pics and updates of them! Would definitely book her again!”


“Emma was great!! Definitely would recommend her!! She was able to watch my puppy last minute while I went to a concert! I was able to enjoy myself knowing she was there with him! She walked him, fed him, played with him, and cuddled him ❤️ I will be booking with Emma if I need anything in the future!!!”
