“Sarah was fantastic! We definitely felt great leaving our bulldogs her. We received pictures and updates on the babies the entire time. Sarah was very gentle and loving with our animals! We would definitely use her again!!”

“Larissa and her family were so wonderful with my alpha girl Aussie. Her little girl even taught this 12 yo how to fetch! Even old dogs can learn new tricks; all they need is a sweet and patient teacher. Thanks again, Larissa and family. ❤️”

“Aanchal is the perfect pet sitter. She communicates extremely well and is enthusiastic about boarding your pet. Our dog, Colden, had a wonderful weekend stay! He was well cared for, exercised, played and cuddled with! We could see that he was very happy to be there. Aanchal was very comfortable and reassuring when we dropped-off and picked-up our dog. Thank you Aanchal!”

“We were so lucky Marcia was available for our last minute emergency trip to VA. Our pup had never been dropped off at a sitter or been to a kennel. Marcia helped her feel calm and loved while we were away. She sent plenty of pictures to help ease our minds and gave her lots of love.”

“It’s a comfort for me when my dog, Zeke, is in Sandy’s care. When I’m away I can focus on what I need to do and I don’t worry about Zeke at all. I’m very grateful for Sandy’s loving care of my little dog. She’s a very wonderful and kind person.”

“The day before my trip, my plans fell through for my fur baby to be watched. I was freaking out and panicking when I came across KenLynn on here. She made all my stress go away! She sent photos every day with updates. Her two dogs also kept Scotch company. My flight back home was late at night and she offered to keep my dog an extra night to help me out. Amazing woman and would for sure use her again!”
“Amanda was great to work with!! We asked her to watch our puppy SUPER last minute and she was very accommodating. She sent photos and videos of him having a great time. 100% recommend her!!”

“Abigail was a wonderful sitter! I appreciated that she sent pictures and updates often. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our dog. We will definitely be using her as a sitter again.”

“Caitlin made me feel so safe leaving my Boston terrier for the day. She sent lots of pictures, took her on walks, and let her lay outside to get her daily sun bathing in:) couldn’t recommend someone better!”

“Joseph and Destiny plus their pups were awesome! Friendly and took extra special care of our, not always perfectly behaved, fur baby! I will definitely be asking them to care for our pet again.”


About: Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving care, handle special needs, and keep pets comfortable while keeping owners updated and reassured. My contract job just ended so I have a lot of time available to care for your pups and kitties. I love getting out and walking. When I visit a clients home, I care for their pets like my own making sure they have a good walk if they're a dog freshwater and food and snuggles. With kitties I will happily utilize the enrichment toys you have.
“Lillie had a great time! She conked out in the car as soon as we picked her up. Brittany sent us status reports and photos, which alleviated our worries about leaving Lillie behind. Great experience.”

“We are very happy with Rebecca’s care for Buckeye! It was great to get photos and videos of him enjoying his time with her family (and behaving himself!!). We have already recommended Rebecca to family and friends, and we will certainly contact her again when we need a dog sitter!”
