“She was amazing! So friendly from the very beginning and I could tell I was leaving our dog in great hands. Not only did she take great care of our dog, she left our house in better shape than when she got there! I would 100% refer her to anyone and use her again!”
“As always, Sara is amazing. We have multiple pets and she manages them with ease while we are away. It's hard to explain how great it feels to be able to trust someone so fully with our furry family members! Thank you, Sara!🐾”
“I contacted Bobbie with a semi-emergent request. She contacted me back right away and agreed to the request. I ended up not needing her housesitting services, but would not hesitate to reach out to her in the future. Thank you, Bobbie, for helping to put my mind at ease. Have a great day!”
“Brooke was incredible! She gave me complete peace of mind during my trip, knowing my pets were in such great hands. She sent the cutest photos and regular updates of walks with my dog and playtime with my cat. She was super responsive, and both of my pets loved her right away. I’m so glad I found her! I'll be booking with her every time I travel from now on.”
“My dogs can be a reactive, especially when people come in the door. Skylynn remained calm and won them over quickly. She stayed in touch, sending frequent pictures. She left the house a clean as she found it. I would happily book her again.”
About: I started pet sitting when I was 11 years old. I cared for my neighbors dogs for many years along with many other neighborhood dogs. Recently, I went to a professional canine training school where I learned to train competition obedience, scent detection, tracking, agility, and many other things. Obviously, I have a passion for animals that has consumed me since I was a young child. I’m currently working full time but I generally have the weekends free so I’d be happy to check on your pet while you’re out enjoying life! I have a fenced in yard and a pet dog. I work full time and dual as a k9 trainer so I have experience as a dog handler and trainer-I care for all dogs like they are my own. I have very clear rules and boundaries with any dogs I care for. I’m not in the habit of making stupid decisions. Accidents happen in the absence of diligence and foresight.
“Lyzzi took excellent care of our pets and house while we were away. I appreciated the clear communication, regular updates, and pictures. We would gladly rebook with Lyzzi in the future.”

About: I have had dogs since for my entire life, so I have cared for all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors.

I will ensure to keep your pets safe, active, and content while you are away.
“I was at ease with Angel caring for my fur babies and house! She even watered the outdoor plants for us while we were away, and the photos we received helped to be away from our pets.”
“Meredith did an amazing job with my pets. She was very responsive and kept me updated. She was able to get my shy kitty to come out and be social.

“Sydney helped us out with a VERY last minute booking and still made us feel at ease that Ember (our pup) was in good hands. She went out of her way to do a meet and greet with us the day we connected with her and was very communicative throughout the stay whenever we reached out! We will definitely use her again!”

“Angie was an amazing dog sitter for us!! She watched our dog, Rosie, and my brother in law’s dog, Kenobi, in our home when we were on vacation for 4 days. Angie came to our house prior to the sit for a proper meet and greet with the pups. It was clear how experienced she is around pets and the pups loved her immediately. Our dog Rosie is on a special diet which was no issue when we were away. Angie kept great communication and gave us daily updates with pictures of the dogs. I would highly recommend Angie!!”
“Kristine is an amazing cat-sitter! She was super at feeding my our cats with their feeding times. Making sure they had plenty of attention and also making sure their litter boxes were done as well. She even taught our cats how to sit while we were gone! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone looking. Our place was left super clean probably even cleaner then we had left it. Thank you again Kristine. You made this anxious cat momma feel at ease with your messages and photos while we were gone.”

“Madison is amazing! Not only is her heart in what she does caring for & training dogs, but her techniques bring results that her clients can easily duplicate. She received her training from Tom Rose School, known as the “Harvard of canine training”, and her accomplishments with her own dog, Reacher, clearly reflect her level of education. She takes time to explain her training style so clients grasp the psychology behind her methods. Madison has a connection of diverse resources in other dog-training colleagues so she stays updated on problem solving, as well as continued education for herself in her field.”

Anna V.
“Anna is a dog whisperer as well as a cat caregiver. Have a reptile? She’s an expert! She had her first cat at age 3. This kitten was an adorable Tuxedo who loved being close to Anna so much that she would happily be given tricycle rides. When our family adopted a rambunctious mixed breed dog who grew to 96 pounds Anna adapted (she weighed only a few pounds more than this dog!) What she did with her love and consistency was help this pup become an AKC Good Citizen (the only dog in her class who passed all components required!) Basically, whatever your pet needs will be given by Anna! She is an extremely dedicated pet owner with a deep love for and understanding of animals.”

Whether it's taking dogs on long, energetic walks, or giving cats the quiet affection and attention they need, she truly understands the unique personalities of and needs of each animal. She's reliable and detail-oriented, and she always follows care instructions closely. With her calm, caring presence and genuine love for both dogs and cats, you can trust that your pets will be well cared for, happy, and loved while you're away.”

Brooke was incredible! She gave me complete peace of mind during my trip, knowing my pets were in such great hands. She sent the cutest photos and regular updates of walks with my dog and playtime with my cat. She was super responsive, and both of my pets loved her right away. I’m so glad I found her! I'll be booking with her every time I travel from now on.
Second booking with Christine was as smooth as our first. She is reliable, takes extra wonderful care of our dog, and cat. They were so excited to see her. She also took great care of our house, and offers us such peace of mind that everything at home is well. Christine is easy to communicate with and was flexible when a family emergency shifted the dates of our trip. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
Des has been wonderful to work with! I hired her to house sit 12 days for my cat, dog, and two rabbits while I was on a trip. My dog is nervous around new people and protective of her home, so Des slowly worked on getting her comfortable by doing drop-ins and walks before my trip. My dog warmed up to her quickly! I felt so confident leaving my furbabies with her, and I loved the detailed updates she gave me with multiple pictures!
Sadie did an amazing job taking care of our boys! She was thrown a few curve balls throughout our booking (unplanned med passing to our pup for an unexpected UTI diagnosis and getting locked out of the house due to tech problems with the keypad) and she rolled with the punches with no complaints and handled them beautifully. She sent so many pictures it felt like we never left and our boys looked so happy in each one! We’ll definitely be booking with Sadie again for our next trip!!
Kristine was wonderful. Her daily updates and photos were reassuring that everything at home was good. I had to be away for an extended period to support a family member through a medical crisis and I knew I didn’t need to also worry about my 4 legged family as they were being well taken care of.
Braden gave DeeDee outstanding care. I so appreciated his daily communication complete with descriptions of her activities along with photos and videos. I felt confident that she was in good hands. He went the extra mile around the house--put out the trash bins on pick-up day for us, for example. I could not be more satisfied and I highly recommend Braden!
Emma is an excellent pet sitter! Our dog had a health issue come up while we were on vacation, and she took her to the vet, figured out her meds, and took great care of her. She went above and beyond, and we were so appreciative! We definitely recommend Emma and will happily hire her again to take care of our dog!
