“Awesome experience..Happy dog! Kyle stayed at our house for extended weekend with our Hazel and her disposition was so much better than when she is boarded while we are gone. Kyle went above and beyond on also taking care of the house and communicating with us! I definitely would use him again!”



“Latisha was fantastic with our two rescue labs - who can both be a little anxious and needy in their own ways! She kept us updated throughout and I knew our girls were well taken care of!”


“Deborah was responsive and communicative. My two dogs embraced her from the initial meet and greet. One of my dogs is a rambunctious 18 month old and Deborah was very calm and patient with him. She sent me daily photos and updates which I appreciated. I will definitely hire Deborah's services again in the future and recommend her.”


“Alex was a great sitter for Winston and Simba! She communicated really well leading up to and throughout the sit. We’re so happy that Winston had someone to take him on walks and play games to keep him stimulated while we were away. Thanks for taking great care of our boys!”


“Jinger was great with my cats and house. Even my shy cat let her pet him. The cats were happy and fed when I got home. Everything was great. I would definitely hire Jinger again.”


“Jacinda was great with my 3 cats while I was away on vacation! She was very flexible and communicative and helped a ton when I had an emergency while I was away! I will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Jill was friendly and provided many updates and pictures throughout the stay. Our dogs both require medicine and Jill handled that without problem. We returned home to 2 healthy, happy dogs which is the most important thing.”


“Matt was an impeccable sitter staying in our home with our two Samoyeds. I have to say, my husband and I were floored when we got home and our dogs were watching dog TV with classic music playing in the background! It was like a spa. Matt gave wonderful updates over our trip. He is a PRO. I hope our schedules work out to have Matt over every time. Thank you, Matt!!!”


“Rhonda was fantastic! Her background and experience were the perfect fit for our senior dog and allowed us to travel with no worries! We will absolutely book her again and recommend her to everyone we know!”


“Brittany watched our two rambunctious pups in our home for a long weekend. We have a 70 pound golden retriever mix and a 60 pound bull terrier/beagle mix. She was great! She was very comfortable with the dogs and seemed very knowledgeable about dogs in general. She took great care of them and also took good care of our house. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to have her sit with my pups again!”


“Skylar was perfect for staying with Ruby at our house for multiple days. She kept us updated, sent us pictures, took great care of her and our house while we were gone.”


“Sierra was AMAZING with my two girls. My Zoey hardly ever eats when I go out of town and she had zero problem eating with Sierra. Animals definitely love her and we will 100% be using her again?”


“Wendy was exceptional! I don’t like boarding my senior dog because he can get depressed and not eat. I just needed someone who could come hang out with him and give him a couple of walks a day. Wendy did just that and he responded to get well. Our house was also in the exact way we left it. I recommend Wendy.”


“I was so impressed with Amalia's attention to detail and compassion for my baby, Fitty (my cat-son). Amalia made me feel so comfortable so I could really enjoy myself away. Thanks so much Amalia, you did a great job and I will be hiring you again!”


About: I have cared for different types/sizes dogs and cats for over 10 years while family/friends have needed assistance. I will treat them like they are my own and would be happy to provide pictures/updates through out the stay! I am currently working from home, so I am very flexible and can care for and love your pets like I do my own. I am able to make frequent drop-ins or stay with them, whatever makes you more comfortable! I have a 3.5 year old Staffordshire/Lab mix if your dog is needing a friend while you are away. I am also a self proclaimed tug-o-war champ and always enjoy a long classic game of fetch.

“Angela was absolutely wonderful! My rescue pup has been struggling with bad anxiety and Angela went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable and safe. I get nervous to leave her but felt so much better knowing she was in such good hands. (:”


“Britney came in a huge clutch when I needed someone to watch Milo at the very last second! Aside from a minor unexplainable eye injury, things went well. Britney left my space clean and Milo loved her!”


“Michelle goes above and beyond to ensure your pet is well taken care of! Very good communication, and she made me feel so comfortable taking care of my dog :) would absolutely let her watch him again!”



“Lindsay helped us out on short notice when we needed someone to give our dog some TLC after surgery. She gave us tons of updates, including pictures, so we could be worry free throughout the day. She was quick to respond to messages, arrived at the time we needed her help, and checked in before leaving to be sure everything was taken care of. We highly recommend contacting Lindsay for petsitting.”

We are so thankful for Jill taking care of our animals. This was our first time having a pet sitter stay in our home and we could not be more pleased. The animals were happy and healthy when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking with Jill for future trips!

Angela did a remarkable job taking care of my babies. They grew to love her and are still looking for her every day. I am very fortunate to have found such a wonderful person to take care of my dogs and their needs. Looking forward to another vacation or just a long weekend so they can visit again.

Tara is friendly and self-assured. I felt safe leaving my home and my pets in her care for 12 days. I have a cat and a dog and even my sometimes unfriendly cat accepted her. The house was in good shape and Mali and MeMe were doing well when I returned. I would ask Tara again if I should travel in the future..

Samantha was amazing with Norman! He doesn’t always connect with sitters but he definitely loved her. He wasn’t stressed or anything when I got back and was just happy to see me. (He usually “yells” a lot! ) She sent many pics daily and even a video. I’m definitely booking Samantha again!

Crisaura did a fantastic job house-sitting our Siberian Husky. She proved to be extremely conscientious. She got our girl up on time, fed her on time, and actually walked her at least twice a day, totaling over 2 miles each day. She was the first sitter who delivered on a 100% 24 hours a day / 7 days a week personal care promise. I highly recommend her for commitment, reliability, and conscientiousness.

I will leave Birkin with Vicki from now on! She took amazing care of him all week! She provided great communication, walks, special treats and toys for my little guy. Her patience and kindness was so appreciated and I loved working with her. Her home is lovely, her husband is also very kind and plays with the dogs too. I can’t say enough great things about Vicki, thank you so much.
