“It gives me peace of mind to know Julia is taking care of my animals! She’s always on time (or notifies me if she needs to adjust), and loves on everyone! Thanks again, Julia, until next time!”


2. Emily C.

“Emily is amazing! She takes great care of our pet and is very responsive with any questions we have. We appreciate her services every time!”


3. Tara L.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of Xee. She went above and beyond what we asked. It’s such a relief knowing our little pup is in good hands! ?”


4. Evelyn A.


“Thank you for taking care of our little Jing Li. This is the first time we have EVER had a stranger take care of her and I must admit, I was very nervous. The fact that you sent daily photos of her put my mind at ease. Thanks again. We look forward to a couple more bookings this Summer.”


5. Sylvia C.

“Syl was great with our senior dog. I didn’t scare her off with a long list of instructions for our 17 year old or when I told her we wouldn’t have cell service. I was nervous about the trip but she was competent & reassuring. We will definitely use her in the future!”


6. Shawna S.

“Shawna watched my French Bulldog and Bull Terrier while I was out of town for about five days last summer, and I was so happy she did. She sent me photos, along with updates on how they were managing without me. I liked that she didn’t just stop by, feed them, and leave- but instead hung out with them for a little while. It made me feel better knowing they weren’t just sitting alone all day. Thanks Shawna! 10/10 would recommend.”


7. Neil U.
“Neil has decades of experience adopting, caring for, training, and adventuring with dogs and pets of all types. He has cared for my pets for months at a time and I would have full confidence leaving my pets in his care again. He has a big, fenced-in back yard and a sizable home to care for them in. He also lives right next to a park that is perfect for taking doggies for walks. His communication is great and I have been more than happy with the updates that he sends while caring for my pets.”


8. savannah h.

“Fantastic!! Amazing!! Went above and beyond. We left our fur babies for a week and Savannah did the most amazing job feeding and caring for them. We will be contacting her in the future.”


9. Juni W.

“I cannot say enough great things about Juni’s care of my sweet Karma girl! The updates were nice to see while on a vacation Karma couldn’t attend. It was nice to know she was getting special attention and love from someone genuine and caring! 10/10 would use Juni to sit my girl again! She was glowing when I got home from the beach as much as I was which is so much better than when I use to pick her up from boarders! Being able to let Karma stay home and having someone trustworthy and timely take care of her was such a stress relief! Again so thankful for Juni and her service!”


10. Rachel H.

“Rachel is great-she has always been available and takes really good care of my fur baby who needs a little extra care with meds and such. She's also prompt at responding to questions. I really appreciate her!”


11. Bonnie M.
About: I love all dogs more than anything in this world! I met my first soulmate when I got my dog, Patches, who I still have and is currently 5 years old. I can train dogs, any type of training you can think of. And you can ensure this place as a safe haven for your furry friend while here at the Hilton! 😝 I’m currently working at UPS as a seasonal support delivery driver. But it’s only temporary until after the new year. I do work Monday-Saturday right now but i leave my house around 9:30-10 and am always home by 3:00 p.m. But while im gone there will always be another person here to watch after your dog, i.e., my dad, or my mom. I have a big fenced in yard. It is an 8 ft chain link fence so they will get plenty of exercise. I have 2 dogs that can keep your furry friend company! But if you’re dog isn’t really into other dogs, I do have a seperate area that’s just as big and also fenced in with an 8 ft Chain link fence all around! So they could either be with my dogs or seperate from my dogs!


12. Jenna W.

“I felt completely at ease leaving my kitties with Jenna, and will use her again in the future. Highly recommend!”




13. Deborah M.

About: I provide individual attention to each dog, along with a loving and fun environment. I recognize that each dog has its own temperament and idiosyncrasies and try to respond appropriately. While in grad school, I house sat for my cousin's dogs (two Yorkies) on a weekly basis. I also sat for several professors' dogs (and cats) for various lengths of time. My time was limited while I was in school. However, I am now retired. My time is my own, and I can give your precious pet my full time and attention. I live in a three-bedroom house and just had a new vinyl fence installed. I am also having a deck put in so, weather permitting, I can spend quality time outdoors with your dog.


14. Eveleena B.

“Eve has been great with our dog! She is punctual, communicative, and seems to genuinely enjoy hanging out with our pup. Our pup is very lucky to have such a great doggy friend come visit him!”


15. Emma W.

“Emma is a wonderful sitter for our Bootsie. She took great care of her and gave her a lot of attention and play time.”


16. Chelsea J.

“Chelsea is amazing, and is clearly one of those people who just are so great with animals. Highly recommended!”


17. Mya L.


“Mya was wonderful and we will hire her again when we go on our next vacation. She is dependable and kept us updated while we were gone. It was nice to relax knowing our pets were in good hands.”


18. Skyler C.

“Skyler was great with Stacy and easy to coordinate with. He was able to meet with Stacy and I before his first sitting with her, and all went well in his care. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for drop offs and for overnight trips.”


19. Erin M.

“So grateful to have had Erin to care for our cats over Christmas. She offered easy communication, and I always felt like our cats were being cared for and loved. Thanks again!”


20. Brooklyn S.
“Brooklyn has always been very responsible when it comes to animals, chores, and etc. She takes very good care of her pets she has, she has a cat that just had kittens and takes very good care of them, she also watches my nanas dog when she’s at work. At some times i’m our lives brooklyn has had to house sit for my mom and had to watch after our animals and did a fabulous job taking care of the animals while also maintaining a clean environment and home.”
