Dani is an absolute top notch dog sitter. She watched our dogs and our house over the week of Christmas while we traveled. She made sure to meet the dogs before that week, asked all the important questions, and was patient with our picky little Chihuahua. While we were gone she sent daily photos, clarified anything that wasn’t clear, and made sure our dogs were entertained during a rainy couple of days. She left our house clean and well cared for. I would ask her to dog sit again in a heartbeat.

An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.

We had Brina stay with our pups for four days and she really bonded with them in that short time. She has maturity and is very responsible, paying attention to the details and our pups were very happy and quite calm upon our return. She has a gentle and mellow personality which mirrors that of our little cavaliers. Brina took great care of our babies as well as our home in our absence. We are quite pleased with Brina and we look forward to having her stay in our home for a longer, extended time. Thank you Brina.

Sarah was absolutely amazing with my dog Emma and Piper. She came over for a meet and greet prior to the sitting with my dogs and they immediately liked her. I was gone for several days and she took great care of my pups. She sent videos and pictures every day. I would highly recommend Sarah and will certainly use her again!

Susan is a gem and a wonderful sitter. She is kind, conscientious, and capable, and focuses on the most important element — the pets! At the same time she has the attention to detail needed for the job. Cannot recommend Susan more highly.

Christina was great with our sweet Polly! She gave daily updates and texted pictures when asked. Polly was very well cared for and Christina left the house and her bedroom very clean before she left. She comes highly recommended. We would definitely have her back to care for Polly although I would not be surprised that she is in high demand.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since before I could remember! They’ve always been a part of my life, but I take extra care and gone the extra mile. So much so that I now volunteer to rescue pups and fly them to their new home! Check out my profile to see more. I would love to meet your furry family members and give them all the attention! I’m currently a full time flight instructor, but I benefit from making my own schedule. So I can make time for you and your family when you need me most! I’m very attentive to pets and I’m very aware of pets’ needs. Having been around animals my whole life, I have a good understanding of their mood and their needs. If they’re in a playful mood then sign me up! But when your bestie needs some time to themselves to ponder the meaning of chasing one’s tail, I totally get it and give them their space.

Holly has watched our pets multiple times— she’s always thoughtful and communicative, and we leave town knowing with certainty that our pets are in amazing hands. When Holly sends photos or videos of our cats, they’re always at ease and doing their favorite activities (playing with their toys, making biscuits, and just generally having a great time.) Thank you so much for another great visit, Holly!
