“Hilary was amazing!! She was very attentive to my fur baby and sent lots of photos and details! I am so happy I had her help when I was away. Would recommend her to anyone i know! I felt relived and knew my dog was in great hands! 10/10!”
“Katie was great! She sent updates during each visit, of which there were many because I have a finicky little cat who needs lots of litterbox upkeep. Normally my cat is anxious and goes on a minor hunger strike when I’m gone, but not this time. She ate well, slept a lot, and seemed quite content upon my return! Katie was professional, attentive, and friendly. Thanks again!”
“Zoe was an amazing cat sitter for our two cats while we were away. She replies super quickly to messages and provides a detailed summary of every visit, including a lot of photos. But more importantly, she took great care of our cats, giving them food, cleaning after them, and giving them lots of love and attention. I would reach out to her should we need someone to look after them again, and I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.”

About: There are many amazing dog sitters around so I won't try to set myself apart. I will say I've been taking care of dogs all of my life. I'm deeply empathetic, patient, responsible, respectful and will treat your furry friends like they are part of my family. I see it as an honor to spend time with them as they bring immense joy to my life, and I hope to impart a bit of joy to their lives too. I am self employed from home and with it comes a great deal of flexibility. Even if my posted hours do not align with your schedule, please bring to my attention as I'm sure we can make arrangements. I defer to the owner so that I can better understand expectations and dog tendencies. My approach is to take things very slow and cautiously as well being and safety are top priorities.

“Megan was amazing with my dog, Ryder, and I felt that my dog was in safe hands with her. She sent plenty of photos and documented her drop-ins. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to using her again in the future!!”
