1. Angel K.

“Angel was very professional, showing up to go over our daily details prior to me leaving my two dogs in her care. It makes me feel better to go over everything when someone new is watching them for the first time. I received photo's each time she visited them. I didn't worry once while I was away. I'll be using her again!”


2. Ashley B.

“Ashley did a meet and greet with Ruby and Kooper, she is super nice and was comfortable with our senior dog and our very rambunctious Golden. We booked her to let the dogs out on a Saturday so we could go visit with Family. She kept us updated and even sent pictures. I have since booked Ashley for house sitting and also for drop in visits. I will recommend Ashley to my friends and family. Thank you Ashley!”

“Penny was prompt, loved on our Liam and even gave a little love to our Henry kitty. We were able to relax and enjoy our time at the wedding knowing our pets were in good hands. Thanks Penny!”


4. Aurora B.

“Aurora was just amazing. She was prompt and dependable. I felt very comfortable giving her the key to my home, as well as my alarm code on our meet and greet. My dogs simply adored her. She was gentle and loving with them. I felt like I could relax and have a good time on vacation knowing my dogs were in her loving care. I did not have to worry at all about potty breaks, and attention. It was so nice to have peace of mind. Thank you, Aurora!”


5. Mike k.
“Mike has watched my dogs for me while I have been out of town many times and I know I don't have to worry about them at all while I am gone. They are always so happy when they see him. I have 2 85 lb. Goldendoodles, 1 of which is less than 2 years old and he keeps him under complete control when he is walking them. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a calm, caring person for their dog(s).”


6. Nicole O.
“Nicole did an excellent job of taking care of our kitty. She sent us pictures to help reassure us that our fur baby was doing well. She was loving and caring for our baby and even gave him is insulin injections. I could not be happier. We are going to use her again when we go on vacation to house sit our dogs. Very trustworthy and responsible”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Alexis took amazing care of Duke while I was away, providing plenty of love, attention, updates, and even sent pictures. It was clear from the start that she truly cared about my Duke, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I love teaching/training dogs new things & watching them get excited when they learn something new. I have a soft spot for rescue dogs and have a rescue of my own. I currently work full-time as the Business Office Manager for an assisted living community. I am available in the evenings & on weekends for all of your pet walking needs and am available Friday/Saturday nights only to pet/house sit. My rescue is crate trained, though she has free roam of my apartment during the day while I'm at work. While I cannot keep pets over night with me, I can stay at your home, where your pet will be more comfortable.

“My sister does a great job when she's over to dogsit my German Shepherd, Bear. He's super needy and requires a lot of attention, but she has no problem wearing him out. She also cat sits for my wife and I and does a wonderful job making sure they're well taken care of. Bear absolutely loves her and often tries to go home with her afterwards.”

About: As a kid, I have always loved taking care of dogs and treating them like royalty. In my opinion, I think taking care of dogs is something that I would love doing for the rest of my life. I love to take them outside for walks frequently and make sure they are taken care of. Dogs will always be my first priority when I am taking care of them. I would love to know what your dogs love to do and what food they like so I can give them the love and attention they deserve. Please let me know if there are any special instructions or concerns for your beloved dogs. At my house, I always take care the dog(s) at the house and given them the special love they deserve. I always let them outside very often especially when it is a beautiful day outside. I always accommodate my schedule to fit their needs because it is especially important to make sure they are properly taken care of. Depending on if there are any specific instructions the client wants me to do, I will care for the dog(s) to meet the needs of the client. I will always have them in my line of sight and make sure they are properly taken care of. I will remove any objects that will endanger their safety. I will always make them my number one priority and prevent any accidents from happening. I will also make sure the dogs are fed, watered, and taken outside. My services as a dog sitter are not specific to the clients and it depends on the instructions they leave. I will take care of the dogs for as long as you need me to without any problems because I will do my best to work around my schedule to fit yours. For any potential clients, please let me know if there are any specific instructions in how you want me to take care of your dog(s).
