“Julie was absolutely wonderful! She gave us updates and pictures throughout the weekend. She went out of her way to make our dog feel comfortable (he can be a bit of a nervous dog) and gave him plenty of exercise. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks Julie!”


“Stephanie was amazing! The kitties loved her and it showed in the adorable pictures she captured and shared for us! She was extremely communicative and went out of her way to make sure everything was god with the furr babies! Thank you for making our vacation easier knowing they were in good hands!!”


“Anastasia was fantastic! She went out of her way to make sure our little scaredy cat Jake was super comfortable, and even went back to double-check on his comfort. She also was very communicative and prompt. And even brought in our mail! We will definitely be asking her for her services again! She’s wonderful!”


“Leigh did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat Tipex. She kept us updated about Tipex’s behavior and needs, and she sent us many pictures and videos. Thank you Leigh!😊”


“Thomas watched our kitty while we were on vacation. We just lost another cat very unexpectedly and were very worried about leaving Cathew alone for this long without his brother for the first time. Thomas was amazing. He came every day and sent pictures, a small check in, and made sure Cathew had everything he needed. I would hire him again in a minute.”


“Amanda was thoughtful and delightful to work with for drop-in care. Our puppy Rosie just had surgery, so had to restrict her activities and be carried up/downstairs. Amanda followed Rosie's post surgery care instructions and kept Rosie calm and happy. We loved the picture updates. Amanda patiently sat outside with Rosie to get fresh air. Amanda was always on time and very flexible for last minute changes. Would definitely recommend Amanda.”


“Paul has worked with us for 4 months with regular visits on a weekly basis and he is absolutely wonderful. You could not ask for a more professional, reliable, and kind person to take care of your dog. He had seen us through small puppy stage to adolescence with our black lab, and he was communicative and flexible through them all. He’s truly a fantastic sitter/walker and you would be lucky to have him.”


“Sophia was wonderful with my cat 🐈⬛ Kali! During her cat sitting home visits, she was meticulous, attentive, and kept track of all the necessary details. I really appreciated her timely updates and thoughtful care. What amazed me most was how quickly Kali, who’s usually quite shy, warmed up to her. Sophia is truly a cat whisperer, and I’m so grateful for the love and care she provided!”


About: With my fiancé I own a mini dachshund, Rosie! I grew up with cats, and have loved both cats and dogs my whole life. Already a sitter for family and friends, and now you! For daycare/boarding, Rosie will be here at my home, so if your dog loves making friends we are a perfect match. Happy to have a meetup prior as well to have our pups meet. I work full time during the week, often from home, and am available for some evenings/overnights on weekdays. On weekends I am more flexible for walks and drop ins. I have an apartment with a couple of nice parks nearby and quiet streets for walks. Rosie also lives here (mini dachshund), so your dog must be comfortable with small dogs (and Rosie loves making friends!). Apartment best suited for small/medium dogs.

“Sophia is EXCELLENT in all respects. She is very conscientious and amazing with dogs. She went above and beyond for us, addressing challenging issues in real time and responding flexibly when situations and needs changed. We are so grateful to have her caring for our dog!”


“Emma was awesome and made it over to take Lilo out when we had some last minute plans come up and made sure to take great photos along the way. Thank you so much for walking Lilo!”


“We appreciated Tiffanie visiting our cats while we were away! She took lots of photos and pointed out when their eating pattern wasn’t normal. They seemed to like her. We would be happy to have her visit our cats again.”

“Sam was great! It was our first time away from our kitten so we were nervous but Sam sent detalied updates and pictures during her visits which made us feel so much better. She played with Linus really well which was also important to us too. We also liked that Sam had two cats of her own. Thanks again Sam!”

“Cam has taken care of my German Shepard willow multiple times. It was clear he connected with my pup immediately when they first met. He meticulously asked about her care regimen, my preferences around how she gets handled, and left me feeling super confident.
