I have known Sarah for almost 20 years. We’ve worked together in the past and, even though we don’t see each other often, she is the kind of person you can reconnect with instantly, as the trust and comfort are always there. That alone says a lot about her character. Sarah has always been incredibly honest, responsible, and dependable. Her passion for animals and all living things is truly special, and it shows in the care she provides. I trust her more than anyone outside of my immediate family (and honestly, even more than some of them, haha) to take care of both my home and my dog. Last year, we trusted Sarah to house-sit and care for our dog for over a week, and I genuinely had zero worries while we were away. I knew she would treat our home with the same care and respect as her own, and that our dog would be safe, loved, and well looked after at all times. Our dog, Nova, is five years old and naturally very nervous, especially around other dogs. From the moment they met, Nova absolutely loved Sarah and wouldn’t leave her side. This was incredibly reassuring for us, especially because we had previously had a very negative experience with doggy daycare, which made leaving our dog extremely stressful. Nova is our baby, and I normally feel a lot of anxiety when we’re apart. Sarah completely changed that experience. She sent regular updates and photos every day, which made our vacation so much more enjoyable because we never had to worry about our dog or our home. Seeing the adventures they went on, the exercise Nova got, and the genuine happiness on her face honestly melted our hearts. Nova truly lived her best life while Sarah was caring for her... to the point where I think she was genuinely sad when Sarah left! We absolutely plan on booking Sarah again this year and every time she is available. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your home and your dog are in such capable, loving, and trustworthy hands is truly priceless!! I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough and would trust her without hesitation!

Lori was fantastic! After meeting her, I was assured that she does this purely out of her love for dogs, not just the extra cash! She sent great updates regularly and pics and I felt at ease while travelling knowing my most precious boy was being well tended to.

Pets (2 cats, 2 dogs) were all well cared for and Cleah got up to speed with all the ‘personality’ from each of the fur-babies. Got lots of check-ins and pics, which was appreciated. Any questions or issues were resolved with a quick text. Overall, very happy with our experience!

Kathy and Charles are truly exceptional dog sitters! From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they genuinely love and understand animals. Our dog was immediately at ease, and we could tell she was treated as part of their family. They provided wonderful updates and photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned, our girl was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Kathy and Charles go above and beyond in every way — attentive, warm, reliable, and incredibly kind. We couldn’t recommend them more highly! If you’re looking for perfect dog sitters, look no further.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. I have strong listening and communication skills from my customer service background, so I always make sure pet parents feel updated and reassured. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs consistency and positive reinforcement, or a senior pet who needs gentle care and extra patience, I adapt to make them feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and create a loving, stress-free environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular interaction, playtime, and comfort.I am available for house sitting for both cats and dogs, and I can also host cats in my home. Since I work remotely, I’m able to follow feeding schedules closely, provide timely potty breaks, and maintain a calm, structured environment.I only accept bookings I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives reliable, attentive, and loving care. Since I work from home, cats in my care receive consistent supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide cozy resting spots, and make sure their environment is calm and stress-free. I also spend time socializing and enriching their day with toys, scratching posts and gentle interaction. I provide house sitting by following each pet’s routine carefully feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I ensure their environment stays safe and comfortable and I provide updates to owners regularly so they feel reassured. For dogs, I include walks or outdoor play and for cats, I make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I adapt to each pet’s needs, whether they are energetic, shy or senior pets needing extra care.No matter the location or service, every pet in my care receives attention, affection and the same level of love and responsibility I would give my own pets.

Cassandra and Mark house and dog sat our two Labradors June 2 - June 7 and I can't say enough good things about them ❤️ Cassandra provided both morning and evening updates with photos and videos of their adventures. They went above and beyond our expectations with care for our dogs, one if which is a senior with medication and exercise needs. In addition to taking excellent care of Duke and Jenny, they also took great care of our home. I came back to a spotless house and well exercised, relaxed pets 👏 If you are looking for someone to take care of your pets and home, I highly recommend Cassandra. I will certainly be asking her to dog sit for us again.
