“Victoria watched Moose overnight (11 month old Labrador Retriever) as we attended a wedding out of town. Moose is a very sweet, big and ill -mannered boy. Victoria did a fabulous job with Moose, sent multiple updates throughout the evening and the next morning, and eased any concerns that we had about his big sleepover! Victoria is kind and warm, and a wonderful pet sitter. I picked up a happy boy who enjoyed his big adventure. I am grateful that we have found a high-quality and dependable sitter for Moose, and I highly recommend Victoria.”

About: I love dogs and have experience with many dogs of varying ages and breeds. I grew up with golden retrievers, a dachshund, and a variety of rescue dogs and cats. For the past 12 years I had a Great Dane, Harry, who sadly passed away recently. I raised Harry from the time he was 8 weeks old so we went through the puppy stages, the teenage years, and the golden senior years. So, I’ve seen it all as a dog mom chewing, behavior issues, allergic reactions, accidents, illnesses, etc. I’m well equipped to take care of your pet and handle any challenge that may come up. I’ll care for your pet like he/she is a member of my own family- just like I did with Harry for 12 years. We will go for walks, have playtime, snuggle on the couch- whatever they’re into! I’m very organized, timely, and resourceful. I will work with your schedule and follow any instructions you have for your pet, no matter how specific. I do not have any pets of my own right now and have a fenced in yard. I work from home so can spend a lot of time with your pet at my home or drop in at your home as-needed. I work full-time from home so have flexibility with pet care needs throughout the day. I can provide bathroom breaks and feedings as needed throughout the day as well as check-ins. I have a fenced in yard (front and back) for the dog to use, but also have plenty of walkable areas around my house. I have no pets of my own right now. At a client’s home I will follow their instructions for yard usage, walks, etc.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jacqueline took such great care of our mini Goldendoodle, Lolo, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in good hands. We got daily updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Our doggo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust—this was truly above and beyond. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”


“A HUGE thank you to Dana and her very sweet family for taking such good care of Olive while we were out of town. She was so fortunate to get so much love!! We absolutely recommend Dana for a safe loving home away from home for your pet!”


“Sara was perfect. I booked her last minute for the first time and she did an amazing job caring for my dogs, one of which is a senior dog that needs special care. I was very anxious to leave her but Sara was very reassuring and communicated very well. She didn’t miss a beat giving my dog her medications and sent plenty of updates. When I picked my dogs up, I could just tell they were comfortable and had a great stay. Absolutely plan to use Sara again.”


“Amanda is simply amazing! She took care of our mini Goldendoodle like she was one of her own. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in loving, capable hands. Amanda went above and beyond, providing the best care possible—attentive, kind, and thoughtful in every way. We received regular updates with adorable photos and videos, which made us feel connected and reassured throughout. It was clear that our pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Amanda is the one. We highly recommend her service to anyone who wants peace of mind and exceptional care for their furry friend!”
