Emily was fantastic to work with. She sent us lots of pictures, and kept us informed of their wellbeing. We felt very comfortable with having her watch our dogs and cats after out initial meeting. We came home and all 5 of our babies were happy, and healthy. Would love to have her watch them in the future.

John has been so great with Cooper! Sad he will be moving away. I never was worried about my dog while he was in John’s care while we were on vacation.

Timia did amazing by with our boy. She was communicative, she left our home better than she found it, and was very kind and present for our baby. 10/10 recommended- will be seeing if she is available first for all trips.

Marissa was amazing from the beginning, she was able to help us last minute, she was punctual, my dogs loved her, she did everything we asked for and went beyond to take great care of them, she sent me daily updates and took excellent care of my house. I can’t thank her enough. I will definitely ask her to pet sit my babies again!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats. I’m reliable and take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. I can help with dogs (basic routines and leash walking) and I’m patient with senior pets who need a little extra care. I treat every pet like my own I work at a dog grooming place most days, so I’m around animals all the time. I’m off on Sundays and Wednesdays and have more flexibility then, but I can still do pet care after work on other days if that’s needed. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep them safe, clean up after them and spend time with them so they feel comfortable. I also follow any special instructions and send updates to the owner.

Aaron was absolutely amazing caring for our 3 doggies for 9 days. We were super nervous to leave them, but Aaron made us feel stress free. He was super communicative with morning, afternoon, and nighttime check-ins with pictures and how they spent their days. He went above and beyond, even cleaning, washing the linens, and leaving a delicious blueberry breakfast treat. He was exceptional. Our dogs loved him and he will definitely be our go-to person from now on.

Sally did a great job taking care of our sweet boy (and our house)! I'm somewhat of a neat freak and she didn't question any of the house rules and the place looked as tidy as it did when we left. Most importantly, we felt comfortable leaving our 10-year old dog with her, especially as we were worried to leave him alone after his brother passed recently. (He's been extra needy.) We highly recommend her and hope to be able to book her again. THANK YOU, Sally!!

What a godsend! We were hesitant to take a trip as our Benji has high anxiety but Meghann was an absolute gift! She took such great care of our pup and our home. She provided outstanding communication with updates and pictures that made our time away so much more relaxing. We couldn’t believe how Benji warmed up to her. She’s a whisperer! Our home was tidy and clean and she even came back and stayed with our Boy since our return was delayed. Five stars are not enough…. We will definitely book her again and again.

Majestyc was wonderful with our Klooney and Brutus. She sent me photos and videos of our dogs under her care. Klooney didn’t want to eat and she was so patient with him and helped him start to eat. We will definitely ask her to care for our dogs next time we are out of town.

She did an amazing job with our two dogs. She stayed overnight & the house looked exactly how we left it & she cleaned up dog poop. 😆 We will definitely have her watch them again when we need.

About: I have been dog/house sitting for friends, family, and coworkers beginning 11 years ago! This service helps me pay off my student loans while also allowing me to fufill my passion of taking care of and loving on dogs! I would love to help you with you and your puppies needs! I have 3 dogs of my own (Goldendoodles) so I am experienced and can't wait to meet your best friend! Side note: I am allergic to cats so unfortunately I can not house/overnight sit at a home that has an indoor or outdoor cat. I have plenty of time to drop in or walk your sweethearts! My work is flexible and I can do it on the go! I’m looking for a different lifestyle and filling my days with your pets is a dream! Whether it is in their own home or on a walk, I want the dog to feel as comfortable as they can. Along with keeping up with their normal routine, taking care of them allows for a smooth transition upon your return

Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He’s notoriously sensitive to change—often refusing to eat and hiding when I’m away. But within just two days of being with Alexandra, he was out of his shell and eating normally. Her calm, caring approach clearly made him feel safe and comfortable. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking her again for future trips. Highly recommend!
