“I can’t thank Benjamin enough for helping me with my wild puppy Bunny! He’s knowledgeable, calm, and supportive. My little pup loved snuggling and relaxing with him and it really took a lot off of my plate! I’ll definitely be checking to see if he’s available when I need another booking.”
“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”
“Destiny was great! I’ve got a oh who can be a little sensitive with strangers but Destiny was kind and confident with him from the beginning! She send regular pics and updates and I never worried leaving my pups with her!”
“Joye is so great! We’ve used her repeatedly and we’re always happy! She’s communicative, kind, and supportive of our geriatric dog with extra needs. And my kid is obsessed with her.”
“Alice is amazing! She stayed at our house for a week and took care of our dog and also watered our plants. Communication was great, our dog was happy, win win! I would happily use her again.”
“Clarissa was wonderful with our geriatric guy! We could tell he was well cared for and comfortable while we were away, and she took extra care to keep him distracted and relaxed during the loud July 4th weekend. Communication was great with lots of updates!”
“Katherine did another excellent job house sitting with our pup. This was during a time when in our neighborhood there were unfortunately still illegal fireworks being set off almost every night. My dog is extremely anxious around fireworks and Katherine helped to comfort her each time by trying different methods. She sent me an update on how things were going each day. She also kept the house looking as clean or cleaner than it was when we left. Thank you Katherine!”
“Philip was great. He sent us a few pictures of the dogs while we were away. I know they enjoyed being at home rather than in a kennel, and I'm pretty sure Philip walked them more than we do! They're going to get spoiled! We'll definitely book with Philip again!”
“Amberle is the sweetest and a true professional! Our pets loved her so much and she was so communicative we really felt our pets were in great hands. She is so sweet and left the house better in better shape than we left it! We will 100% be trusting Amberle with our pets again!”
“I just returned from a trip to Costa Rica. I think this is the 4th time Tiana has taken care of ReNee. I rehomed ReNee when she was 12 and now she is 13 and 8 months. She had been abused in the sense that she was crated most of the time. She never jumps on anything, and I think she was reprimanded for it. Tiana is marvelous with her. She really works at making ReNee comfortable and secure. Tiana sends pictures and videos, and she keeps me up to date on how much she is eating and when. She is a finicky eater, but Tiana works at seeing she eats well. Renee is hyperthyroid, so Tiana gives her meds for that. She also spends time playing with ReNee, so she gets some good exercise as well. I am sorry I did not take the time in the past to write a review. I could not be more pleased with how well Tiana cares for ReNee.”
About: I grew up with dogs in the house, always loved spending time with my friends dogs and cuddling with my own. My childhood dog Lucy I helped take care of until she passed at 13. I currently help care for my 10-year-old family husky that has hip problems. I love hyper puppies and tiring them out with play. I'm good with stressful situations. Due to my past caregiving jobs I am used to sorting and administering medicine, and with my own husky i'm used to giving dogs medication. I am occasionally working for a family friend for caregiving, but its usually maybe 5 times a week, so pet sitting will be no problem. I like things clean so I will make sure to put toys where they go and tidy around the house while I'm there. I like grooming dogs, seeing as I have a husky I am no stranger to a lot of fur, as well as cleaning up after grooming.
About: I love dogs and since I’m home full time, I’d love to give your doggos the attention they deserve while you’re away! I make single ingredient treats such as dehydrated sweet potato chips. I’ve trained friend’s puppies and my own. I do need small dogs only, especially so I can pick them up and snuggle them! I work full time remotely so I’m always home! I can take your dog out as frequently as they need to go. I can adhere to any diet and medicines they need. I walk my dog daily and your dog can either join or stay home with me and my husband walks our dog. Your dog will be cared for by both me and my husband. I have a fenced yard at home. I do have a 2 year old Maltese Shih Tzu so your dog will have a buddy! We can also keep them separated in my home if you prefer. & I’m happy to go to clients’ homes too if you prefer that. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can crate my dog, too.
“Amir is fantastic! Worked great with our 70lb anxious dog who always barks at strangers. Helped to coax our nervous cat out too so she could get some affection while we were gone.”
“This was the first time we left our highly anxious dog and older cat with Jordan. It was a bit if a rough start, but Jordan took feedback and suggestions well, and the visit went really well overall. Jordan was responsive, caring, and had a good attitude. We enjoyed working with him. Would hire him again.”
“Penny was awesome with the pups! My Jekyll is a special needs dog and doesn't trust easily. Penny came right in and everything just clicked. The house was in fine shape and I got lots of pictures. I will definitely work with her again.”
About: I’m able to take care of dogs, lizards, cats of all sizes, personally I own two Scottish collies, and one bearded dragon. I’ve owned all of them for about 6 years. Im working part time at a senior living home, and I’ll be able to be taking care of your loved pets Monday to Thursday. It could occasionally change depending on my work schedule. Either way I can always work around it. My backyard is fenced, it has three tiers, and I live right next to a trail where I could take your pets on a run or a nice walk!
“Ellie was above and beyond. She was a very respectful and caring sitter. Our dog doesn’t do well with change and had some trouble eating while we were away and she was very kind and patient in getting her to eat. She took her on lots of walks and played with her often. I know she had a good time while we were gone and we felt very comfortable that she took the best care of our beloved girl. Ellie is very reliable and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to older animals requiring more delicate attention.

Thanks so much, Tania, for taking care of Lucky (my Alaskan Malamute) while I was away. Lucky seems to have been very happy with your care and content while I was away for the ten days. No stress, she's just happy to resume our life, as usual. Can't thank you enough!
We love Jenee! For the daily/weekly walks she’s been doing for our dog these past few months and for all that she did while we were away and she house sat for us. Knowing that our girl and our home were in such capable and caring hands gave us total peace of mind and put all our anxiety and fears at bay. She’s always come through for us and we so appreciate the kindness, care and love she’s given to our “dogter.” 🤎 I put together that little basket as a small token of our appreciation. Hope you enjoy it! 🌺 Sorry I didn’t have time to write this in a thank you card to go with it. Thanks again!
