“Ansley was very professional and took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away! Our trip out of town was very short notice, but Ansley was kind enough to work with that. 10/10 would recommend and will hopefully rebook with her in the future!”


“Tatum was amazing! She watched my cat for a week and did a wonderful job. Her daily updates were detailed and full of pictures. You can tell that she really cares! Definitely will use her again and highly recommend!”


“I cannot recommend Lindsay enough! She did drop-in visits for my two dogs over the weekend, and she went above and beyond in every possible way. She sent me photos at every visit, kept me updated on when she arrived and left, and made sure both of my pups were well-fed and happy. She even turned on Dog TV for my Great Dane to keep him entertained—such a thoughtful touch! Lindsay offered to help around the house, communicated consistently, and left the sweetest Doggy Report Card on the table at the end of her visits. It was such a lovely surprise and showed how much she genuinely cares. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved her company. She is kind, professional, and incredibly reliable. I will absolutely be using her services again! 🐾💛”


“Aisha was a fantastic sitter and was a pleasure to work with. She took extra care of my pets and spoiled them rotten while I was away! Would very happily book her again”


About: HI! My name is Blake. I currently have two Golden Retrievers, a 6 year old and a 5 month old puppy. My 6-year-old has double hip dysplasia, so I have gained a lot of experience taking care of him and ensuring he gets all of his medicine and care! I love meeting all types of dogs and thoroughly enjoy learning their unique characteristics, wants, and needs. I am a very active individual, so I would love to take your dog for long walks or play fetch with them. I work a full-time job during the week, but I have a very flexible schedule and can make trips to my house multiple times a day if needed. For the most part, I will be looking to board only on the weekends, but I could potentially make an exception depending on the type of week I have at work. For drop in feedings and walks, I should be able to accommodate just about any day during the week. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly golden retrievers that will be more than happy to keep your dog company! Or I am more than happy to crate your dog and keep them separated from my dogs if that is what you prefer.

About: Growing up, my home has been filled with 4 dogs at any given time. Now I have moved in with my husband and I have my rescue, Sammi. I’ve trained my dogs basic commands (sit, stay, shake/paw). I’ve taught Sammi how to run next to my bike and to recall. I tear up watching any shelter commercial & volunteered every summer growing up at an animal shelter. Just recently out of the Army, married to a current service member. I am currently in online masters program, so my hours are quite flexible. I also would be willing to walk dogs at outdoor parks nearby. I will always leash your dog inside the house before leaving. If it makes you more comfortable to have an indoor camera, I have no issues with that at all. I will care for your dog as if my own, particularly crossing roads/avoiding other dogs on the street, etc.

About: I have always been around dogs my entire life. I have always been in love with dogs and they are something I truly admire. I have been entrusted throughout my life of taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs. I have also worked with dogs from Yorkies all the way to Great Danes so size doesn’t bother me. During my experience I have worked with puppies all the way up to our senior pups making sure every dog is cared for and loved to the highest extent possible. I am currently a part time student, which means I can be around your pets most of the day due to my classes only taking at most 3 hours of my day so I can make sure your pets are loved and appreciated. Taking care of someone else’s pet is truly a privilege to be trusted enough to make sure someone’s baby is cared for and loved as much as you do. I will make sure to communicate and provide you with pictures and videos of your pets throughout and make sure to keep you updated with anything. I am a quick learner and will make to keep your stress levels low.

“Aimee was great with our fur-babies once again. They are her best friends now lol. She made sure they were taken care of while we were away with her multiple drop ins. She still kept us informed with how they all were doing each visit. She is awesome at house sitting and even drop ins. I am convinced Aimee is great all around. Definitely will be using her again in the near future. Super Star Sitter status.”


“Paviter agreed to a last minute, two day drop-in visit, and I'm so glad she did! She provided timely updates, adorable pictures, and took great care of my pup. She even helped communicate non-drop-in related information, as I had to schedule maintenance work in my house while she was there. I couldn't recommend her enough!! Thank you Paviter!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. I’m confident with handling multiple pets at once. My calm energy helps nervous dogs feel at ease, and I tailor each visit to fit their unique personality and routine. I treat every dog with love, consistency, and care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. My schedule is wide open, and I’m flexible to your needs,whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or last-minute drop-ins. I truly enjoy bonding with pets and making sure they get the love, attention, and routine they need to thrive. I respect every home and pet as if they were my own. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a calm and clean environment, and ensure your pet’s needs such as meals, walks, medications, or cuddles, are met with consistency and care. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities.

“Trevion did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Dutch, while I was out of town. He handled the drop-in visits with care and made sure Dutch was always fed, watered, and well taken care of. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Trevion’s services again and won’t hesitate to recommend him to others!”


“Ashley was amazing. She cared for our cats just like they were her own. She was very kind, loving and trustworthy. I highly recommend her. She was also very thorough before and during the process I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. My cats loved her and I look forward to using her services again.”

Emmie did a fabulous job watching our two needy dogs while we went on a 7 day cruise. She was very helpful and communicative and even cleaned up our little chiweenie’s potty accidents for us. I feel so lucky we found such a reliable and caring sitter who we can trust with our pets. We definitely recommend and she will be our first choice for future trips!
