Rosemary did SUCH a good job with house- & dog-sitting my pup in my apartment. Her attention to detail with the care instructions I gave, and how well she accommodated lots of instructions for a higher-maintenance dog, gave me so much peace of mind as I was out of town. I'll be booking her again when I'm traveling next! Thank you!!

About: I just retired & have lots of time on my hands. I enjoy pets & have reliable transportation to get where I need to go. It’s a good fit because I just retired June 7th and I believe pet sitting will work for me. I’m really an active retiree, but I can make it work. I can’t watch peoples pets at my apartment, but I can watch peoples pets at their home. I can walk your pets and spend time with them.

Katelyn has house sat and dog sat for me multiple times and is always someone I can trust while I’m away. I have two big labs and two French bulldogs that can be a handful, but Katelyn always takes great care of them and my house! It always looks super clean when I come back, which is always nice after being away.

Lexy was wonderful! She came over beforehand to meet Peaches and get to know her and our home. Peaches has some reactivity issues but Lexy was able to handle that and made sure throughout the entire week we were away to take her on walks at off hours and navigated the neighborhood perfectly. Lexy stayed in our home, gave Peaches her medication, and even brought in our packages. We could tell when we came home that Peaches adored her time with Lexy and was sad to see her go. She was clearly well loved, played with, and taken care of. We plan to book Lexy for our remaining summer vacations and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

What a fantastic sitter Amber was! She was able to handle all 3 of our dogs, one of whom I am sure smothered her with affection attempts and another on the opposite end of the spectrum in that I know she had to use patience to win him over. She was able to do it all and everything in between. If our dogs could talk I know they’d already be asking when is the next time Amber is coming by. Thank you.!

About: I’ve had my own dog since i was 17 years old up until my mom passed away, and he moved in with uncle. I still see him everyday & now I just want to care for other animals since i don’t have my own and i love them so much! I’m currently not working at the moment so i have lots of free time to care for them and take them for walks or just be there for them. It’s just me in the home and no other pets so your little fur baby will have all the space to have fun and run around lol

Becca was great! so good with Luna, when i came home, i think she was hoping to see her again, will definitely, hire again! Such a great experience vs. kennels where is seems more impersonal and the little dogs literally get the short end of the stick.
