“Rachael stayed with our 2 girls for a week at our house. They loved her & we loved that they were in such great hands! While we were gone, we received numerous updates and pictures each day. We returned to an immaculate house! Very professional, Highly recommended!”


“Jeanelle took great care of our girl Gretchen while we were out of town for a few days. Very communicative with us and attentive to our pup. Highly recommend!”


“Katelyn was wonderful! We hired her to housesit & stay with our dog while we were gone for 2 days. She is a sweet person, clearly loves dogs & was easy to make plans with. She and our dog were fast friends. She sent me regular updates on how he was doing w/ pics & responded quickly when I missed my pup & needed a check in. When we got back home, other than a very well-cared for & happy dog, you couldn't even tell she had been there. Everything was how we left it. Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks Katelyn!”


“Sara did a wonderful job caring for our fur kids. Our dogs are elderly and she was able to administer all of their required medications and feeding needs. She kept the house spotless. She is a top notch communicator and provided several photos and updates on our dogs’ activities. We are truly thankful for her help and flexibility, especially given our request was last minute. We highly recommend her! Thanks Sara!!”


“Ayreal was amazing! She was super communicative and cared for our younger dog’s changing needs at every turn. She went above and beyond keeping our dog happy and our house in great shape while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her more and we will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Julie is an excellent sitter and she went above and beyond for us while watching our 1yr old chocolate lab puppy and house when we were on vacation. She made it really easy for us and had excellent communication the whole time, sending us updates while we were away to let us know our fur baby was OK. Julie was flexible to our needs and requests and really stepped up to help us and did an amazing job all around. When we came home, our house was very clean and our dog was very happy! All around great experience and I would highly recommend Julie and would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you SO much Julie you are the best and we really appreciate you!”


“Nishat was absolutely phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better person to take care of our Ellie. She sent us updates, photos, and communication was top notch. She was devoted to our pup during their time together. We are truly happy and will definitely be using Nishat again!”


“Madeline the best dogsitter I’ve ever had. My pup, Piglet, is slow to warm up and incredibly anxious and Madeline went above and beyond to meet Piglet on her terms and make her comfortable. They quickly became best friends. Madeline was super communicative with me, sending updates and pictures and you could tell she truly loved Piglet even though it was her first time watching her. She also did great at walking her, giving her meals twice a day and her complex array of medications. And she left my house cleaner and nicer than I left it for her. I cannot recommend Madeline enough.”


“I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.”



“Lori went above and beyond!. She came over ahead of time to meet our dogs and spent an hour with us to let them get comfortable with her. One of our guys has severe stranger anxiety, and even though he never warmed up to her, she never stopped trying. She got along great with our other two guys, gave them lots of love and sent us pictures while we were gone. She left the house clean, washed the sheets on the bed and did many things that we said were okay to just leave alone. We would definitely ask Lori back, if she would come back for us!”


“Victoria is fantastic! She took amazing care of both our pups and also watched over our house while we were away for a week. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind and trustworthy, then Victoria is your person!!”


“Meghan is the absolute BEST! She’s so attentive, makes sure she’s got ALL of your pets needs addressed, and sends LOTS of update pics! She’s been in constant communication with me which puts me at ease! She’s awesome and cannot recommend her enough!! She WILL be asked to watch our fur baby (and ducks!) in the future ❤️”


About: I've had animals my whole life. I have house sat my friends and family's pets for years while they go on vacation. In my spare time I work with the animals at the Animal Refuge League both dogs and cats. They have provided different types of training for both cat and canine care. I work from home so I am able to house sit and still continue working. This allows me to be with youe pets as often as possible during your time away. I do not care for pets in my home since I have a cat and a dog myself. (They get watched by my roommate while I'm away)

“After not seeing Jerry for a little while, Morgyn slid right back into his routine, and he loved every minute of her visit. We feel confident every time Morgyn takes care of our Jerry. Highly recommend!”


About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Alaska raising ducks, chickens, rabbits…even a ferret! I’ve always had dogs and a cats. I currently live with a senior pup and a young cat. We have several backyard chickens too! I worked as a professional dog walker/pet sitter for a number of years in Connecticut. I’m used to being outside rain or shine. I also know the importance of being able to adapt to each pets’ individual needs including special diets or medication. I work from home with a lot of flexibility so with proper planning and coordination I can be there to meet you and your furry friends’ needs. I have a fenced yard and a dog who doesn’t mind the company of other well socialized animals. We do have a cat and small child so please consider that before booking. If staying at your home, I will treat it just as my own with respect and consideration for you and your family and your privacy.

“Christina is absolutely amazing! Both of my dogs stayed with her for 2 weeks while we were traveling in Australia. They adjusted to her very quickly & were so content when she returned them to our door. She paid attention to everyone of my individual requests making sure they were medicated & fed as instructed. It’s extremely obvious Christina loves animals & wants nothing more than to love on our pets. She has a huge heart & lots of love to give. One of my dogs has a history of trauma yet she felt comfortable with Christina very quickly. Christina is very responsible & you can 100% trust her with your fur babies. 100% recommend you book her & book early since she is extremely popular!”


“Once again, Ashley did a great job. It's really comforting to know that we can leave our dog Pearl with a trusted "friend". She is always so happy to see Ashley. Thanks again Ashley!”
