Danielle took such good care of our babies and was a responsive communicator and sent lots of pics! They love when Danielle comes to hang with them.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs through walking and pet sitting since 2024, helping neighbors, friends, and family with everything from daily walks to overnight care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, exercised, and well cared for. In addition to pet care, I’ve been babysitting for about 5 years, which has made me very responsible, patient, and reliable. I’m used to being trusted in others’ homes and keeping a consistent routine. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure to provide updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, which allows me to give your pet lots of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get the time, exercise, and consistency they’re used to. I always prioritize safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

Erika was wonderful with our dogs! She was great at sharing updates each day and very respectful of our home and space. She even left a sweet Easter treat for the dogs and my son when we came home! We will absolutely use her again for vacations!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Scott was fantastic with our dogs during the nine days we were away. He clearly cared for them like they were his own, and the thoughtful updates he sent made us feel completely at ease while we were gone. Our pups were happy, healthy, and well-loved when we returned. Beyond being a reliable sitter, he’s just an overall great guy, and we feel very lucky to have found him. We’d book with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets.

Sydney was great! Very friendly and willing to do all the tiny things our little guys needed! She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing as this was their first time with a sitter. We would highly recommend her for anyone and hope to use her services again. I'd rate higher if I could.

She kept us informed with how our dogs were doing and anything going on at home and let us know right away when there was a little medical issue going on with one of our dogs. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again.

Lisa did an absolutely amazing job watching our fur babies while we were out of town on a trip. She was helpful, communicative, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to very happy babies, and a few special treats she left as well. So thoughtful! She even took trash out and put dishes away. Definitely went above and beyond our expectations. Looking forward to having her house sit again for us and would absolutely recommend. Thanks Lisa!

Ann was wonderful! After trying a few other sitters and a highly rated kennel, I found a perfect fit! Ann sent pictures, played ball with Bailey endlessly, and let Rascal sleep in bed with her. Just perfect!

Kimberley was fantastic and we highly recommend her. Our dogs clearly love her, and we had total peace of mind while we were away. Her experience caring for diabetic dogs was especially invaluable and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house — we will continue booking with her!

Eloise is amazing. I felt very confident from the start of our interactions to the meet and greet and the eventual stay that she would take great care of Opal. I was correct! She’s super thorough yet laidback, sent updates and was easy to communicate with!

My wife and I really adore Angela. She is extremely professional and caring towards our boys. We don’t look at them as pets, they are family members and this is exactly how Angela treated them. We were able to go away with the peace of mind that our boys and home were looked after and in good hands. Thank you Angela and we look forward to seeing you again. Kate & Derek

About: I naturally get attached to animals, so your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll actually be cared for! I’m really patient and calm, which helps a lot with shy or anxious pets. I stick to routines and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I like having something to look forward to, and spending time with animals is honestly one of my favorite parts of it. I make sure to plan around visits and give each pet my full attention instead of rushing in and out. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable, following your routine and giving lots of love. I treat your home with care and make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away.

I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!

About: When I had roommates, they have a cat who has wobbly cat syndrome (Cerebellar Hypoplasia) which makes him walk a little funny! He can’t go more than two to three steps without falling over, and eating is quite a challenge. Having cared for him has made me really patient and understanding of animals. I recently just left a data entry job, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I love animals more than people so they are going to fit perfectly into my daily routine. I would spend time with your pet as much as you’d like! I love spending time with animals whether that’s playing with them, giving them pets, going on walks or just being next to them giving them company!
