“Jessica was great with our pups. She made sure Chopper got his medicine every day and they had so much fun playing with the other dogs that were there. Jessica was also super friendly and sent pictures and videos regularly”


“Cassandra is amazing! She sent videos and pics of Chief showing how much fun he was having. He played with other dogs, played fetch, played in water, and was tired. She’s the best!!”


“Ally was really great with my dog Miller. She was very open with her communication and sent a lot of updates and pictures over the weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area. And will definitely let her watch my dog again in the future”


“Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.”


“Jaden was great with our senior dog! He sent lots of pictures and updates. He was patient with him and some of our dog’s quircks. We liked the fenced in yard and the freedom he had in his house. Will definitely use again!”

“Justin was great! My dog can be a bit anxious and slow to warm up in new settings. Justin was very patient with her and sent updates with pictures every day. Looking forward to having Belle stay with him again!”


“Mackenzie and Anthony took great care of our pup! They treated him how we would, making him feel at home. We received plenty of updates, and our dog always looked so happy. We would recommend them for others needing a sitter!”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.

“Kevin was incredibly responsive in scheduling a somewhat last-minute booking, shared photos of Monte throughout his stay and provided consistent updates, and treated Monte like his own. Will absolutrly be using Kevin again and would highly recommend him.”


“Violet had a wonderful time with Allie, Henry and Hazel! which allowed us to relax and have a wonderful time on our vacation too! The daily updates and pictures were great!! I highly recommend Allie!!!”



“Cory has been a fantastic companion dog sitter for us time and time again! He does well with Skip's anxiety and give him great attention and exercise to keep him comfortable when we travel!!”


“Jersey loved them!”


“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”


“Kaylie is super sweet and my pup absolutely loved her!! She sent lots of cute pictures and her dogs are sweet and my Giuseppe loved to play with them. She took him on walks, cuddled with him, and it seems like they had a great time. Id definitely recommend Kaylie for your pet sitting needs!”
