“Alison was very conscientious and thorough in staying with my two Cavaliers. They were VERY happy pups while she stayed with them! She kept me informed about how they were doing, which allowed me to relax while I was gone. She also left my home in excellent condition—i never would have known anyone was here! I highly recommend Alison.”
About: Experience the Difference: I've always had dogs since I was little, and I have 2 of my own at home. Family and friends always trust me to take care of their dogs. At any gathering, you'll find me petting the closest dog. I love dogs and make sure to greet every single one I see! Currently, I'm working part-time, so I have plenty of time to hang with your furry friends. My availability changes weekly: I'm available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Every second week of the month, I'm available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Additionally, I'm available every other weekend after 4:30 pm. My overall goal is to make your pup feel comfortable and loved, just as they would with their own family! I ensure they receive the utmost care and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided to maintain their routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and medication if needed. I’ll spend quality time playing with them and always make sure their environment is clean and safe!

“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup! She played with her and gave her snuggles! She sent us updates, pictures, and videos. Awesome sitter! I think Bella is sad that we are home and she doesn't have Beth! I recommend her highly!!!!!”
“Bohni was a treat on all levels!!! She stayed with my cat for 3 nights and 4 days.. I think my cat likes her more. The house was better than I left it.. Angel was calm and happy.. I was able to be away from her for the first time and feel confident in her STELLAR care.. if there were 10 stars she would get them all!!!!! Got photos all well everyday!!!! Happy customer”
“Jill sent us photos and notes about her visits with Stanley. He looked like he was completely relaxed and enjoying her company! She took Stanley for walks and the outdoor time was appreciated by him and by us! Thanks, Jill! You are the best!”
“Glendon stayed at our home with our two Westies for a weekend. He took such good care of them (and our home). He took the time to connect with us and our pups and truly cared for them. Couldn't recommend him highly enough!”
“Geoffery took great care of our dogs and farm animals!! We were away for two days for a family wedding and it was helpful leaving our dogs with someone we felt we could trust. Geoffery visited us to meet the dogs and learn how to take care of things a couple of weeks before he cared for them, which was good to ensure it would all work out. While we were gone we received a few updates, which was nice and reassuring, and when we got home our dogs were tired and happy! Geoffery had taken them on so many walks and made sure all their needs were met. We will definitely request to book again for our next family wedding!”
“Thank you Libby! Great communication all around and our pups were in a great mood when we got home. She sent pictures throughout the day and will definitely use Libby again!”
About: I’m a dog lover and have owned several dogs throughout my life - a cocker spaniel, 2 English setters, one chocolate lab and a golden retriever. Right now I’m single, live alone and I like to travel a lot. But I enjoy dog companions and want to make myself available to help you with your dog sitting needs. I’m a daily runner so I can take your dog on runs or long walks. I live near a pond where dogs can swim, and in general I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood that is suitable for all types of dogs. I’m also a health nut, so I will only feed your dog good food and/or whatever is required of their diet. Thanks for considering me, I would love to take care of your dog when you need some extra help.
“Sydney petsit in our home this past week, taking care of our cat and dog. She was incredibly responsive and sent sweet pictures of our pets throughout our trip. Our neighbors often pitch in to help with each other's pets, and Sydney coordinated with these neighbors to provide seamless care. Definitely will be working with Sydney again!”

I would treat your pets and home just as I would my own—with care, respect, and love. Your pets are family, and I will ensure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for during my time with them.
“Tiana was absolutely fabulous! Professional. Personable. Intuitive. Our young pugs had the absolute best time with Tania. She bonded with them instantly and them with her. Due to their bond, Mademoiselle and Captian (sister and brother), were very responsive and attentive to Tania. She took them on numerous daily outings such as: Little Long Pond; Pretty Marsh; Blue Horizon; and a hiking trail within walking distance from our home. Returning from our ten day trip, we were greeted by our two very happy little furbabies. Our home was immaculate (cleaner than when we left), bed linens, etc. were laundered and folded. Our plants looked better then ever and all our mail was organized neatly on our dining room table. To boot, early on in our trip, I needed help from Tania to put together an order placed on my Etsy shop. Having no experience in doing so, however, in no time Tania processed and shipped the order. Tania is truly exceptional.”
“Jasmine was so sweet and caring with Kiwi. Kiwi has some special needs, she has separation anxiety and is in the beginning stages of degenerative myelopathy. Jasmine took great care of Kiwi and even got her through a thunderstorm. We are so glad that Jasmine became Kiwi's friend. Jasmine is patient and her demeanor is so cool and collected. We are very thankful for Jasmine keeping Kiwi safe and loved.”
About: I have been a dog lover since getting my first dog at age 8. One of the coolest things that I have done is volunteered as a K-9 handler on a local search and rescue team. I have been accepted into an Ivy League university and plan to start the journey to get my bachelors degree this fall. I am currently working remotely in The Village at Hendrix and can usually arrange my schedule any day of the week to care for your pets' needs. Your dog is as safe as can be in your home or in my care. I will alert you if any problems arise and will give you updates, as needed.
