“Michelle and her family took great care of Apache. Was willing to meet before hand to see if it is a good fit. Sent many updates and pictures almost every day of my 2 week vacation. They were very accomodating with pick up time and response times were very fast. I was nervous to leave my girl for 2 weeks but was constantly reassured she was doing well. Will be using their services again next time I am out of town”
“Viktoriia was amazing! She took care of our pet as if he was her own. She gave us constant updates of him, communicating everything in a timely manner. We definitely will select her in future trips, we loved her kindness so much!”

“Despina took great care for Max for two weeks. She shared updates and photos daily to make sure we have a comfort in knowing that he was well and in good hands. Thank you Despina!”
“Hank and Bauer were very well cared for during their stay. Plenty of pictures and updates were provided which gave us peace of mind and you could tell they genuinely cared for our pets. Hank has leg issues and our other dog is hyper, so they put Hank in a wagon while taking Bauer on a longer walk so that he wasn’t left behind 🐾❤️”
About: 20+ years caring for cats and dogs. Patient, attentive, and reliable. I love walking, playing, and keeping pets company. Experienced with different personalities, including shy and senior pets. I’m mostly at home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets.

I have a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to move around, plus a large fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Since I live alone, I can give pets lots of attention, care, and companionship.

Sue is an amazing dog sitter. We feel very comfortable leaving our mini golden doodle Phoebe with her, knowing that Phoebe is well cared for and enjoying her time with Sue and Brian. Lots of walks and activity, and lovely home environment. Sue communicates with us every day we’re away. Thank you Sue!
Tristan was great with my dog Charlie, who stayed for a full weekend. Communication was easy and prompt, with some nice updates and photos throughout the weekend. Tristan's dog Fifi is very sweet, and calm, and a great companion to visiting dogs. My dog Charlie can be very nervous at first with new dogs and Fifi quickly made him feel safe and calm quickly. The pre-stay meet and greet was a very helpful touch. Charlie came home from his weekend happy and well take care of, and will definitely visit Tristan again in the future!
April was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took care of our 10-month-old puppy, Sophie, for a full week and made the entire experience stress-free. April helped us feel comfortable the whole time by sending frequent photos and videos and always responding quickly with updates. She’s incredibly calm and attentive, and it was clear she was great at understanding and meeting Sophie’s needs. Sophie had such a great week, and we could tell she was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using April again and highly recommend her!
I had a great experience with yuting. She took wonderful care of Noah, kept me updated regularly, and made sure I was always informed. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Noah was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💖🐾
She was so warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. My boys can be a little apprehensive at first, but her calm, positive energy helped them relax right away. They ran into the house and immediately had the zoomies, which is not like them unless they feel completely comfortable. I could tell they felt safe and happy in her care. When I picked them up, they were tuckered out, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I really appreciate how wonderful she was with them and would absolutely recommend her.
Nikole has done an amazing job taking care of Marty for a week. He’s a high-energy pup and can definitely be a handful, but she handled him with such care and patience. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands and having fun. Her regular, detailed updates made our vacation so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommend!
Cindy and Jaime are absolutely amazing dog sitters! They watched our pup Red for almost two weeks while we were away on our honeymoon and took such wonderful care of him. They were super accommodating when we needed to modify our dates and add an extra night so we could help my sister with childcare. They’ve been caring for Red since he was a puppy, and we trust them completely. They kept up with his training, sent regular updates, and always responded to messages quickly. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in such loving and capable hands. We can’t recommend Cindy and Jaime enough to anyone looking for reliable, quality pet care! 🐾
