Laura watched our dog at our home while we were away for a few days. She did an excellent job with our dog and treated our home with respect. We will definitely reach out in the future when we can't bring our pup on trips! Highly recommend Laura

I picked Jessica to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. It was their first time without family watching them, and typically I would be anxious leaving them. But they loved Jessica, and she was so attentive to their needs! She was great with communication and care. 💜

If I could give McKenna 10 stars I would! McKenna house sat our 4 year old pup Finley for 6 days/ nights while we took a family trip. Not one day went by without pictures and lovely communication about Fin! Our boy was so well taken care of and loved, we felt incredibly comfortable and secure simply knowing she was there with him. Ty again McKenna!!

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

Stacy was amazing! She kept me updated on how my dogs were doing throughout our vacation. I am usually one to stress out about leaving my dogs but I knew they were in good hands with Stacy. When we returned home I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for while we were gone.

About: I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I know exactly what dogs need at every stage. From early morning walks to keeping them entertained and fed, it’s just part of my daily routine. I didn’t just own a dog I grew up with him. Your dog will get the same attention and care I give mine every single day. Dogs get a morning walk around 10–10:30am, then they’re free to relax in the living room or hang out in the fenced backyard. Once it cools down in the evening I take them out again around 6–7pm. During the day they have access to the backyard for potty breaks whenever they need it. Before bed there’s one last walk around 11–11:30pm so they’re settled for the night. I have a fenced backyard so dogs can roam and play safely without any worry. I own a friendly dog myself so your pup will have a buddy to hang out with. We’re in a house so there’s plenty of space to move around and get comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture I want them to feel at home, not like they’re in a strange place.

I plan my day carefully to ensure pets receive dependable attention without feeling rushed or overstimulated. I prioritize clear routines, secure spaces, and careful supervision. I follow instructions exactly as provided, keep environments clean, and remain observant of behavior changes so pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

Taylor was great from start to finish. She was super responsive and took great care of our anxious pup while we were away. She stayed at our house throughout since our dog does not do well with other dogs. She updated us throughout her stay with her and was very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute. Highly recommend Taylor!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Vanessa was amazing! Our pups all have very different needs and personalities, and she handled each of them with patience, attention, and care. When we got back, the dogs were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in capable hands. We’re so grateful to Vanessa and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring!
