1. Allison T.

“Responded to our last minute booking and was there before we left! Dogs warmed up to her immediately and she made everything easy. Kept us up to date on everything. Look forward to rebooking with her :)”


2. Beth B.

“We found Beth in a pinch on very short notice and she was wonderful. The 4 dogs loved her immediately. We have had a run of bad luck with dog sitters for a few years so very grateful to have found Beth. We are already planning to book her again next month😃.”


3. Laura S.

“Laura was great with our pups and at our house!!! She was patient and persistent with our one dog who is a scaredy cat. He finally trusted her (which is a big deal for him!) but Laura made sure she didn’t make him uncomfortable or too scared! Would definitely use her again.”


4. Shadae J.

“Shadae was wonderful with my dog.”


5. Giovanni B.

“Did everything under the sun to make sure our pup is cared for and we were stress free for our first trip without our dog. Couldn’t have had anyone more reliable.”


6. Brandy M.
“Brandy is an amazing and trustworthy person. She is always early to work and gives 110% in anything she does. When it comes to animals, I’ve never met someone who loves animals as much as her. Her loving nature is comforting and I’m sure would bring happiness to any animal she came to meet!”


7. Karly J.

“Karly was great with our elderly dogs. We plan to use her again.”


8. Medi G.
“For the entirety of time that I have known Medi, over 10 years of friendship, she has always had animals and their care on the forefront of her mind. She takes into account how pets are used to their routines and adapts her skillset to best take of them. This includes communicating throughly with owners to learn about their pets and getting to know the pet personally while she looks after them. Medi is always willing to go above and beyond for the animals that are placed in her care, as she cares for them as much as she cares for her own. I couldn't recommend Medi as a pet sitter enough for a pet owner!”


9. Molly S.
“Molly took excellent care of my cat and dog, Sydney & Rupert, while I traveled! She spent time socializing and incorporating interactive play with my cat and took my dog on long walks, ensuring he was getting adequate exercise and attentive playtime. Molly always supplied my pets with enough food and water for the day and was very attentive to following through with detailed instructions I gave her for taking care of my pets. She always goes above and beyond and loves my pets so well! Molly has exceptional communication skills, providing frequent updates on Sydney and Rupert. The last time she cared for my pets, she informed me of some abnormalities in Sydney's demeanor that could affect her health. She gave me helpful tips on caring for Sydney and recommended a vet who could resolve the issue. Molly has the biggest heart for animals I know of, and anyone would be lucky to have her care for your sweet dog or cat!”


10. Megan B.
“Megan has always been an animal lover! She has watched both of my dogs and treats them as they were her own. I feel so comfortable leaving them in her care.”


11. Allison D.
“I could not have asked for a better sitter for my 3 little ones. Reliable, kind, responsible and dedicated to my pets is the best thing someone can be when babysitting my dogs. Allison was all of these things and more. I will be asking her again anytime I’m looking for someone to watch my dogs. A+++”


12. Maxine B.
“Ms. Maxine is a wonderful caregiver to dogs of all sizes and is a dog owner as well. Maxine is knowledgeable about pet needs and exceptionally good at ensuring food is nutritional, walks are frequent, and play time is abundant.”


13. Karen S.

“Karen is awesome! My dogs are well taken care of by her and have fun and relaxed when I can’t be there. She is very attentive, responsive, keeps me updated, and there when the girls need care and loving. She sends me photos, follows my info on the dogs, and leaves my home spotless. She’s great!!! I trust my two dogs with her unconditionally!”


14. Natalie W.

“Thank you Natalie for taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation. She spent the week at our hose with our 2 dogs.sent pictures and updates.”


15. Fernando F.
“Wow! Fernando is an awesome Dogsitter! Not only was he available at a moments notice, but he stayed with my dogs for way longer than I expected! He took time to play outside with my big dogs, as well as caring for my little dog in the house! He communicated well and was cheerful 😀 I highly recommend you using Fernando as your next Dogsitter! We’re looking forward to next time he can care for our dogs!”


16. Ayden R.

“Ayden took care of my dog for 4 days when I was traveling and she was amazing! My dog isn't the most well-trained dog and he got into a lot of things when I was away, but Ayden handled it very well and went above and beyond to make sure my dog didn't get bored or stressed between visits, and in the last couple days my dog was relaxed and didn't get into things he shouldn't. She also cleaned up after all the messes he made even though she didn't have to. She was great with updates and was quick to respond to messages. Last time I traveled, my dog showed signs of separation anxiety for a week after I got back, but this time he was perfectly happy, so I guess Ayden made him feel comfortable when I wasn't here. I'm very grateful for her and would definitely have her take care of my dog again if she would be happy to.”

About: With over 2 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, I specialize in providing exceptional care for both dogs and cats. I offer in-home care tailored to your pet's unique needs, ensuring they receive personalized attention, daily check-ins, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Whether it's a walk, feeding, or just keeping them company, I ensure your pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while you're away. My goal is to offer peace of mind for pet owners, knowing that their furry friends are in caring, capable hands and receiving the best possible care! I offer flexible pet sitting with availability in the mornings before 10 AM, after 4 PM, and drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether it's a walk, feeding, or companionship, I tailor the schedule to meet your pet's needs, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve, whenever you need it. During drop-in visits, I will care for pets by ensuring they are fed, hydrated, and given bathroom breaks. I will engage in play or exercise to keep them active, offer companionship, and monitor their health for any signs of illness. I'll perform light household duties as needed, such as cleaning litter boxes or feeding fish, and provide a detailed update to the client after each visit. Before leaving, I will secure the home, ensuring the pet is safe and comfortable, and the property is secure.


18. Zoe W.
“Zoe is the most observant and intentional pet caretaker I have ever seen. She puts thought into daily action for her own pets as well as other people’s. I have had Zoe watch my cats, dogs, and fish. She has never made a mistake and always been very caring and loving to my animals. Other than that, Zoe is an outstanding person and very responsible. She acts in a timely manner and is deliberate in all the work she does. Not only would Zoe be an amazing caretaker for your pet, she will exceed in all areas of the caretaking process.”


19. Aidan B.
“I can't recommend Aidan enough! He has been an absolute lifesaver for us and our dog, Ike. Not only is he reliable and punctual, but he also has an incredible connection with dogs. From the moment Aidan first met Ike, we knew we were in good hands. Every walk is filled with fun, and Ike comes back happy, calm, and well-exercised. What really sets Aidan apart is his genuine love and care for animals. He always goes the extra mile, providing personalized attention and updates with photos and messages, so we never have to worry while we're away. It’s clear that he treats every dog like his own, and we trust him completely. If you’re looking for a dedicated, friendly, and caring dog walker, look no further—Aidan is simply the best!”
