About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.

Cheryl was absolutely amazing with Pearl and her cat brother Louis! She sent me pictures and updates, went above and beyond and took care of a lot of details that I hadn’t even considered. I felt completely comfortable having her in my house. She left it in great shape to and it was clear that the critters loved her. She even took Phroto to the dog park and let her play with her own for babies. She’s wonderful I can’t wait to use her again.

Chloe was a great sitter for our dog and two cats. She was very communicative and sent a lot of photos which helped us feel at ease while we were away. Our dog barks a lot when he meets people but she seemed totally unfazed and he warmed up to her quickly. We would definitely book with her again!

Ian did a great job and I came home to a happy dog and a clean place! I was worried because I was overseas for two weeks and needless to say, if I had to get back for any reason it would've likely taken 24 hours minimum. Didn't have to worry about that, and I was comforted by daily pics and updates;)

Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!

Caitlin was fantastic! She was so kind and patient when she first stopped by to meet the critters. She was a fantastic communicator while I was out of town and took some great pictures and videos that clearly showed my dogs were thriving with all the attention she was giving them. It offered me so much peace of mind to know my pets were in such caring hands. Thank you, Caitlin!

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I believe they teach us unconditional love, help us stay present, and enrich our lives in countless ways. I love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, though I have a particular appreciation for larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, Dobermans, and Rottweilers. Over the years, I've spent countless hours learning about canine behavior, training, and communication to better understand their needs and how they experience the world. My beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Bella, was my companion for 13 wonderful years. During the last five years of her life, she lived with diabetes, requiring twice-daily insulin injections, regular veterinary care, and cataract surgery. Caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of providing consistent, compassionate care—especially for dogs with special medical needs. I understand that pets are family. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra care and attention, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and responsibility that I gave my own. I currently work from home while building my real estate investment business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be attentive to the needs of the pets in my care. My day typically starts between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. with meditation and exercise, followed by work from my home office. Because I set my own schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, medication needs, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. If your dog is boarding with me, I enjoy incorporating outdoor walks into my daily routine and can provide regular exercise, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I care for pets according to their owner's preferred schedule and routine whenever possible. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and secure, whether they're in my home or their own. I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while maintaining the routines and boundaries that are important to both the pet and their family.

Asia is fantastic and I highly recommend her services! She has done both drop-in and overnight stays in my home. I two large, energetic dogs who need lots of attention. I enjoy being in contact with her — She brings an awesome, friendly energy and great communication style. She manages my pups in an calm, kind and clear manner. They like her and they listen to her. She honors their daily schedule and stays in great communication with me throughout her stays. I feel really comfortable with her in my home and with my dogs. When I return, my dogs are happy and relaxed. I plan to continue booking her for all of my dog sitting needs.

Chloe was an excellent house sitter and took wonderful care of both our home and our dog while we were away. She was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We returned to a clean home and a happy dog, and it was clear that Chloe treated both with care and respect. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Deana! She was so wonderful with our very, very quirky dachshund who was sick with pneumonia, and equally as wonderful with our very shy cat. She was also so incredibly responsive and reliable. She picked up meds at the vet, and made sure they both got everything they needed. She also had to deal with a water leak in our apartment and was on top of everything, and overall just very respectful of our space. She is the absolute best house sitter we have ever had, and she is truly amazing. Thank you Deana 🙏🙏🙏
