“Emanuela was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we felt confident that our three dogs were in great hands while we were away. She took wonderful care of them and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us such peace of mind. On top of that, she went above and beyond—bringing in our packages and watering our outdoor plants during a stretch of extreme heat. Thanks to her, we didn’t come home to wilted flowers or missed deliveries. We’re so grateful for her care and attention to detail. Thank you for everything, Emanuela—we hope to book with you again soon!”

“This is the second time we booked with Hannah. She is extremely reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. We needed to head out of town unexpectedly and Hannah respoded on very short notice and was able to help. We had peace of mind that our pup was well taken care of while we were away. We look forward to working with Hannah again and highly recommend her to others!”

“Taylor was absolutely great!! This was the first time we were leaving our dog, Hazel, overnight and I was admittedly nervous...until we met with Taylor?. Hazel took to her almost immediately and that sealed the deal! After talking with her and getting to know her a little, we were able to go away and enjoy ourselves knowing Hazel and Maisy(our kitty) were in good, capable hands and we came home to 2 happy, well-cared for babies!!?? We will most definitely hire Taylor anytime we need a fur-babysitter in the future!!??”

“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them.

“Katie was the absolute best. She went above and beyond for her stay with my high energy pup, taking him on three 2+ mile walks over the course of her stay. She was extremely thorough and detail-oriented, executing each request and keeping our dog on schedule as much as possible. Sending a bunch of pictures and detailed recaps for each visit/walk.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Animals are a passion of mine, as well as traveling, music and nutrition. The slogan Eat, Play, Love is a spin off of my favorite Eat, Pray, Love. I grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. I loved each & every one of them. When I got older I turned my passion into a form of income. I’m a former kennel-hand. I’ve been a house/ pet sitting for years now but just as a side job & usually by word of mouth. Now I’ve turned it into a full-time business. I’ve dealt with breeds ranging from golden retrievers and labs to rottweilers and pitbulls to chihuahuas and french bulldogs. I believe I am fully capable to properly and lovingly take care of your furry friend(s) ! I walk many dogs throughout the week. I housesit whenever someone needs me. Then at home, I help out with my family’s dogs. I’m really flexible, I’m willing to work weekends & holidays as well. I care for your furry friends like they’re my own, with lots of love. I pride myself on leaving a home better than I found it.

About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. When I was 11 I had my own dog that I took care of and eventually once I was able to drive I payed and did everything for her (she was my age). I’ve taken care of family members dogs as well. I’m currently working at a doggy boarding and daycare facility. My job is to make sure the dogs are safe, happy and healthy. We take them out to the yard and bring them in for playtime. We learn dog body language and how to deal with their body language. I currently do not have my own dog but I do work at a boarding daycare facility. If you dog needs to be crated I can easily get them in there. The facility has very high fences for when the dogs go outside. Some dogs we do have to keep on a leash outside so they do not run away. I also play with the dogs and give them lots of love. The same can be done in a clients home as well. I will do whatever is needed for the dog I am watching.

“Christina came to pet sit on fairly short notice but was up to speed very quickly on care for both my senior dog and cat. She was very professional, reliable, responsible and communicated every day with me sending texts and photos updating me on my pets welfare. I was able to trust her and enjoy my trip away worry free. I will have her back again very soon as it was a great experience for myself and my pets!”

Ray was outstanding. He was super nice and professional, he took amazing care of our sweet dog, he sent us lots of pics and videos while we were gone which gave us a lot of comfort knowing our dog was being well cared for. He left our home in immaculate condition and was great with communication during the whole house sit. We hope to get to leverage his services again in the future. Highly recommend!!

I highly recommend Alexyss! I am so glad I was able to find a sitter who loves my dog as much as I do. She has great experience , especially with bully breeds which left me at ease when going away! She is kind and attentive, and overall just loves animals! I am so grateful to have found her as a sitter!
