About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for pets since I was 11. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors since I was 14. I have volunteered at the SPCA (animal shelter) since I was 16. I now lead my college dog walking/shelter volunteering club (STEP) as vice president, and truly love caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities! I’m a college student with a completely open and flexible schedule this summer! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, pet sitting, and can accept last minute bookings. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely live for, so I love making pet care part of my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I’m attentive and patient, while also extremely well versed with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog like my own babies!

Bethany was wonderful for our first time working with her! She was a great communicator and sent lots of photos and updates while we were away, which we really appreciated. She did everything we asked and we came home to a clean house and happy pets. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands :)

Maggie is an incredible sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Nattie, on two separate trips of mine now and it is the most confident I’ve ever been that Nattie is safe, happy, and well looked after while I’m gone. Maggie sends me an update with pictures each day, along with any questions or concerns, and otherwise I can trust I don’t need to worry and enjoy my trip without stressing that something could be wrong. I love getting the pictures and hearing about how everything is going, and knowing Nattie is being given all the treats and walks and attention she needs and deserves. I would recommend Maggie to any dog mom looking for someone reliable and trustworthy!

Lauren was a fantastic house sitter! She sent daily updates and pictures to let us know everything was going great. She showed up on time and communicates very clearly. My house was clean and she even washed the sheets and took out the garbage. My three dogs were happy and well taken care of when we arrived home. I would highly recommend her and will hopefully use her again in the future!

Nina is extraordinary. Her dedication to my dog and her daily photos and messages made leaving my dog in her care much easier than ever. My latest trip was the longest I had ever left my dog in someone’s care and Nina put all my worries to rest. She took excellent care of Delilah and of our home. I couldn’t have asked for more. Even when my return flight was delayed she stayed with Delilah until I finally landed. Nina will now be our regular sitter whenever I travel. She is amazing! Thank you Nina!

Elizabeth is WONDERFUL! When you meet her, you know everything will be handled. With just one meet and greet, I knew I was able to get out of town without any worries. When I came home, the dogs were content and satisfied, like they had been well cared for and unbothered by my absence! And as a bonus, she was very respectful of my home and left it exactly as she found it! Elizabeth provides a 10/10 service, and I highly recommend her!

We love having Crystal watch our pups! She always takes such good care of them and knows how to handle their quirks. She sends plenty of photo and text updates, ask questions, and makes the right call to ensure the dogs get the best care while we’re gone. I have peace of mind when Crystal stays at our house (and she always takes great care of our home too - leaving it cleaner than when we left!).

About: I've been around dogs since I can remember. I have always had a family dog around and have dog sat for several families throughout high school and college. I have only owned smaller dogs, but have plenty of experience dog sitting larger dogs. I currently have a miniature dachshund! I currently work from 8am-4pm on weekdays. However, I am available in the evenings (after 5:00) and weekends to walk, play, stay with, or board your furry friend! After May 22nd I will be available all day during the weekdays and weekends!

I love to update you everyday with a picture of your lovely doggo! My husband and I both work from home and if we do leave it's only for 1-2 hours at a time. We have a great backyard but we typically go to dog parks and 20-30 min walks daily. We have two friendly dogs who are 25lbs each, we have a great yard, a dog park down the street, and we love talking evening walks if the weather is nice. Our morning routine is awake by 645-7:30 the pups go outside for potty, then get fed their breakfast. After that we go on a 20-30 min walk, come home for nap time and treats.Potty breaks every 2-4 hours and plenty of water. Dinner time is at 5:30pm/6pm & bedtime is between 8:30pm-11pm. If your dog needs more care than this we would love to accommodate them! Our house is very pet friendly we have a great fenced yard and our front porch is gated with a baby gate for if we ever have a issues with pups that want to explore.

Brooke is FANTASTIC. They spent a week with our dog (house sitting) and I have never felt more at ease. We have a pet cam due to a horrible previous experience and I only checked it once because it was clear our pup was in good hands. Brooke communicates well, asks great questions and can navigate staying in someone’s home without a million questions (also left our home immaculate!). They also take amazing photos with witty commentary. Recommend with no reservations and would book with Brooke again.
