“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”


“Maegan accommodated my schedule to pick Hadley up a different day than we originally booked. She left a birthday party just so I could pick up our pup after our trip!”



“Nia was fantastic! She was flexible with our schedule as asked to change the pick up and drop off times. She also took Vader on a couple of walks, and groomed him! He left smelling better than he has in a long time!”


“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”


“Emily was excellent! She took great care of my dog. Her updates gave me total peace of mind and I could see how well taken care of my pet was. She was also personally great to deal with and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!”


“Cheryle took great care of my little dog Charlie for one week in her home. He seems to have had a great time with her and her small dog. I would definitely ask her to care for Charlie again and would recommend her highly!”

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“My dog can be anxious and shy around new people, so I felt incredibly guilty and worried when I dropped him off at Stephanie’s home for boarding for a last minute overnight work trip. But Stephanie was fantastic and very communicative while my dog was with her. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures of him through out his stay that ease my mind and made me feel less guilty about leaving him with a stranger. And the biggest vote of confidence were all the pictures of him cuddling with her. I will definitely use her for future trips and dog walking in general.”


“So thankful for Olesia for taking in Drogo. And even taking him earlier than initially planned. We love all the photos they’ve sent, showed how happy and comfortable he is. Drogo really enjoyed his stay. When we visit the area again, we’ll definitely contact them.”


“Thank you Rachel for being so great with Lego! I loved all the pics and videos you sent me! And I could tell you gave him all the love with pets and cuddles!! Thank you for being flexible when I had to extend my stay, TWICE! Thank you so much!”


“Amanda was amazing with my high-energy dog! Darla got to go on long walks, even a hike, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and attention. I really appreciated Amanda’s patience and care—my dog came home happy and tired! Highly recommend for anyone, Darla can’t wait to go back.”


About: I've house sat for my friends dog who has anxiety for the last few years. I'm grew up with and am comfortable with big dogs. I work part time morning shifts Sunday through Wednesday and Night Shifts Friday so I'm able to spend long periods of time with your dog. I know to keep the dog on the leash at all times unless safe to do otherwise, I'm great at following plans for specific needs.

“Thank you so much for being so caring towards my babies on such short notice. Your entire family is so lovely and my dogs obviously loved being around you.”


“Lori was a life saver! We had to book on very short notice and Lori took our 2 dogs into her home for the weekend. They were incredibly cared for in a safe home. Lori sent us updates on their well-being and they came home happy.”


“Laura’s experience with older dogs and their needs helped make Truman’s stay with her and her other dogs most enjoyable. She kept us informed daily with updates and photos. You can tell that Laura truly loves what she does and we will definitely use her again.”


“Excellent, excellent, excellent! Vera where were you when my children were in daycare??! Your professionalism is outstanding! My family and I truly appreciate you and the care you give our fur baby! Thank you again. We will see you soon.”



“Kyle was great with our pup! I am sure that Buddy enjoyed his stay and having such a a nice yard to play in. Kyle was quick to follow up on any questions and kept us updated during our trip.”


“Absolutely amazing person! I was nervous at first to use Rover, but when I met Christopher I was instantly comfortable with him and his home. He’s super assuring and I loved the pictures he sent me through out my pets visit. Number one on my list to call for a sitter!”


“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”
