Mia did an OUTSTANDING job caring for our dog and two cats. She sent us daily updates w photos of walks, playtime, and even did a photo shoot with our dog! She did a home stay for 4 nights and our house was impeccable when we returned. To say I would hire her again is an understatement. We’re convinced our pup misses her and we wish we could hire her indefinitely. If you pass on having her watch your pets you are missing out, if I could give ten stars, I would ❤️❤️❤️

Brie was awesome! She stayed at our house for four nights and took such great care of our two dogs and two cats. The dogs got lots of walks, the cats got plenty of love, and she kept us in the loop with tons of photo updates. We came home to happy pets and a clean house—what more could you ask for?

Mira was amazing! We very last minute needed a dog sitter and she responded very quickly which was so helpful! She came by met Ace before hand which was appreciated greatly. She was very sweet, professional and was very willing to accommodate to all of Aces needs. She stayed at the house and left it just as we had left it. No mess or trash! She followed all instructions to a tea and also sent me pictures of Ace throughout the day and that was super nice! I would highly recommend her!

Autumn was a professional and extremely great with our dogs. She stayed at our home for four days with our two small pets. We got constant communication and picture updates. It was a great feeling to know things were under control at home when we were on our vacation. We highly recommend Autumn. :)

Used Thomas again for house/dog sitting for an entire week and felt incredibly comfortable with the care he was giving our pups and our house. So, so nice to have him stay there and give us updates and the dogs extra cuddles and treats.

Ashleigh did a great job pet sitting our dog on very short notice while out of town for long weekend. Great communication daily and she was patient/understanding when our dog was frightened by thunderstorms and inconsiderate people in neighborhood shooting off fireworks in the middle of June! Home was in excellent condition when we returned too. Thank you for your service and we will would use her again to care for our dog.

First time using Rover so was slightly nervous and wasn't sure what to expect but Kaylyn helped to make it a seamless and great experience! Our girls can be big needy lapdogs at times and when we got home they said Kaylyn did great, thay felt safe and loved 😁 We love using family when able (wasn't available for this trip), but it's great to know we have a reliable back up with Kaylyn. We will be using her again in the future I'm sure.

About: I have been talking care of family and friends animals since the age of 10 and still to this day. From walking to feeding to bathing, and grooming I have done it all. I wouldnt be the person I am today if it wernt for being around and taking care of animals. Pets make my life so much more enjoyable seeing them happy them showing love in return. I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company. I also use to train dogs when I was younger and have had the privilege to train all of my family and friends pets. So if your fur baby is in need of a little extra help I would be thrilled to work with them! I am currently a stay at home mother who has lots of time and love to give and would be honored to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in back yard and a very loving and friendly fur baby to keep your pet company and lots of toys and love to give little one

About: I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience, and an Equissage-certified canine massage therapist. I notice things most pet sitters don’t. I understand that boarding can disrupt a dog’s nervous system. Some dogs do better at home while you’re away, and my massage therapy background means I have techniques that genuinely help calm and settle an anxious or overstimulated dog in their own environment. During drop-in visits and walks, I’m assessing your dog the whole time. Gait, energy, behavior, subtle signs that something’s off. You’ll hear about it either way. I’m experienced with medically complex dogs, seniors, and anxious dogs, and equally comfortable with your healthy, bouncy lab who just needs a solid walk. Cats are absolutely welcome. Cat owners, I see you. Your cat has a whole life, a whole routine, and very strong opinions. I get it. Fill me in on the Royal Treatment and I’ll do my best to make sure it happens. I look forward to meeting you and your animal friend(s) soon. 🐾 I offer drop-in visits and dog walks seven days a week. Visits are typically 30 minutes. I send updates with photos at every visit so you know exactly how things are going. I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience. I know how to recognize when something is wrong and what to do about it. All dogs are kept leashed on walks unless we are in a securely fenced area. If your dog jumps fences, we do not go off leash outside. I do not combine your dog with unfamiliar dogs without prior owner approval. I come to you. Drop-in visits and walks take place in your home and neighborhood, which means your dog stays in a familiar environment with their own smells, sounds, and routine intact. I treat every client’s home with respect and leave it exactly as I found it. For drop-in visits that occur at dark or during nighttime hours, I may occasionally have another person with me. This is for my own safety.

Mia is very genuine and an incredible pet sitter. Our Millie is not trusting of strangers. Mia was patient and quickly gained our dog's trust. We were on international travel for 12 days. She shared daily a ton of pictures of Millie, which we appreciated since we were so far away. Mia was very communicative and attentive to both us and our dog. Back home, we noticed that our dog was happy and that her routine was closely kept. I cannot recommend her enough.

Meghan was so wonderful to our home and our boy, Walter! She was very communicative and helpful; we got a bad storm and Meghan had made plenty of arrangements to be sure she could take care of Walter and even went above and beyond to offer help if our flights were delayed. Walter was happy and relaxed when we got home, and the house was also in great shape. Can’t wait to have her watch him again on our next trip!

Peyton was WONDERFUL! I often worry about my boys when I travel but Peyton made it so easy - I could tell right away they were in good hands. Baxter is 18 years old and needs a pill at night and Hank has some quirks to navigate - Peyton handled it all with ease! Upon return the boys were happy and content! We would recommend her to anyone🖤
