Mikayla and Justin took great care of Rigatoni— were easy to communicate with, provided check-ins, and genuinely cared about her well-being. So grateful!

Steven and Claudia were very professional and took care of my dog as if he were their own. Not only this, but they accepted my last-minute booking which made everything immensely easier for me. Would highly recommend.

Bruce was absolutely wonderful. He sent me daily updates that included how each dog was and that confirmed each time he had given one of our dogs their medicine. He also sent daily pictures. Bruce took wonderful care of our dogs. I will definitely use Bruce again!

About: I have cared for dogs for many years and currently have three dogs of my own. I am experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and supervising dogs of different ages and personalities. My home has a separate room available for dogs who need their own space to relax. I am patient, responsible, and treat every pet like part of the family. Safety, comfort, and plenty of attention are my top priorities. I am available every days and can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, and supervision. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I will communicate with owners and provide updates during their pet’s stay. I have over 11 years of experience caring for dogs and currently have three dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a calm senior Shih Tzu. I supervise all interactions between dogs and have a separate room available for pets who need their own quiet space. Fresh water, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and safety are always my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!

Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)

I just want to start off by saying, never judge anyone’s profile just because they haven’t gotten the opportunity to sit more dogs than others. Gaileen and her family were absolutely amazing. From the first meeting they were nice, understanding , and very welcoming. My Klee Kai Xura felt so happy and safe. Every single step of the way Gaileen sent me photos, daily updates on xura status and behavior and performed her duties as a sitter. I just want to thank them so much for their hospitality and I will definitely book them again soon

About: What sets me apart is the personalized, attentive care I give every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pup’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need patience, structure, potty training support, and consistent reinforcement of basic commands, as well as senior dogs who may require slower walks, medication reminders, extra comfort, or mobility support. I’m reliable, communicative, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment tailored to them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make their care a priority in my schedule. I plan my days to allow plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and one-on-one attention so pets never feel rushed or overlooked. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to accommodate different routines and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping an active dog engaged, maintaining a puppy’s training schedule, or providing a calm, comfortable environment for a senior pet, I make sure each animal receives consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and bedtime habits to help reduce stress and keep them happy. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and space to relax. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also separate pets when needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule to help them feel at ease while you’re away. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly respond to any changes or needs. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

I left my dog with Nadine and her family for the first time (for several days) and I am SO happy I did. I could tell that he was in the best hands, and I appreciated the regular updates and pictures! They want above and beyond to make my anxious dog comfortable and he came up happy and relaxed. I will definitely keep them in mind for future stays as they have my highest recommendation.

Such an attentive dog sitter with daily updates at least twice a day. Elizabeth and her her lovely family took great care of our Doberman mix. She got so much love and attention I was afraid Pixie wouldn’t want to come home with me. Lol. I got a cute little doggie report card at pickup detailing her stay. Will definitely book with her again.
