Monica is the absolute best. I'm so grateful we had the opportunity to hire her and hope to have her back. Her notes about her visits were so fun and heartwarming to read. It was very clear our dog loved spending time with her and she did a fabulous job caring to his needs. Our daughters missed their dog and loved seeing and hearing what he got up to while we were gone. Couldn't ask for a better sitter to care for our boy. Thank you, Monica!

We can’t say enough about Jessica! She was Excellent! Due to some unforeseen circumstances we needed someone to drop-in for 5 days upon short notice. Jessica responded quickly and our minds were at ease knowing our dog would be well cared for. Jessica took pictures during each visit and wrote a synopsis of what they did during her stay. We highly recommend and will utilize her again!

Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

Maddy is awesome! She went above and beyond to take care of my dogs over the 9 days. When she saw my dog was scared during a storm, she stayed and comforted her. Communication was friendly and timely-I looked forward to the updates. Already working on the next visit. Thank you!

About: Growing up I have always had 2-3 dogs in my home at a time whom I have attended therapy animal training classes with, and now I have my own little furball named Professor Wigglebottom. I have experience working with and handling dogs with leash reactivity (my current little guy is reactive) so that is not an issue for me. I have also been house-sitting dogs for neighbors and various co-workers since the age of 15. Neighbors, friends, family and coworkers have also relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they were on vacation or out of town. I am currently working full-time as a Graphic Designer but I am available after 6pm on weekdays and often any time during the weekends for visits. I always take into account the needs of your fur baby, as each dog is different and requires varying different levels of care and attention.

I wish I could keep Kaylee my little secret, but it would be a crime to not share how great she is. Kaylee has done drop-in’s on my dogs over the past months that equal out to roughly 3 weeks worth of days. She is always so easy to communicate with, shows up in a timely manner for every visit, sends at least a couple of pictures every visit, and most importantly my dogs love her. It’s hard to trust people these days, but Kaylee is one of those people that you can count on to take care of your pets like they are her own. I’ve rebooked her about 5 times now, and will use her every single time I have to go out of town.
