“Renee was amazing! I’m a neurotic cat mom with a cat struggling with IBD. She calmed my nerves the moment I met her. She is warm and loving and paid great attention to details. I felt comfortable leaving for three days knowing she was taking care of my baby. Highly recommend!”
“Karley was absolutely wonderful - dropped in and fed my dogs for a week while I was on vacation. She even brought in my packages and helped when I had a roofing leak. Thanks for everything Karley! Will definitely hire again.”
“EXCELLENT sitter. Went way above and beyond (came over before her sitting to meet us and our dog, was very friendly, even brought home baked cookies)! We cannot recommend here highly enough. Thanks Stephanie!”
About: I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is in good hands. As someone who has always been organized and attentive, I make sure to follow your instructions closely and care for your pet just as you would at home. Over the years I've learned a lot from my own dogs; from giving careful medication to my beagle-mix with seizures, to all the patience and love my senior pug needed in his golden years. Now, I'm caring for a sweet (but sometimes nervous) chihuahua, so I truly understand the little things that can help shy or anxious pets feel comfortable. I only take one dog at a time, ensuring your pup won't feel overwhelmed or overlooked, and I can send you lots of pics and updates about their stay. My large, fenced yard is perfect for safe play, and if your pup loves to lounge on the couch or snuggle in bed, that's more than welcome - unless you'd rather keep furniture off limits, of course. My family has loved every moment spent with the dogs in our care, and we truly look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. It’s a joy to share this experience! I am a former stay at home mom that’s now an almost empty nester. My schedule is extremely flexible so I have plenty of time to devote to your pups well being. As a homeowner myself, I understand the responsibilities involved in taking good care of your pet AND your home. If you hire me for drop ins or for house/petsitting, you will come home to things just as they should be.
“Lisa was incredible with our dog who can be reactive and anxious. We did a meet & greet and all went well. We have just returned from a 4 day trip and we are sure our dog is happier and more content than when we left. It appears that Lisa gave her lots of love, walks and even played pet calming music on our TV. I would highly recommend her to anyone, but especially if you have a dog that can be tempermental. Lisa is nututring and reliable. We will definietly be return customers.”
“Michelle was fantastic and took great care of our dog over the weekend. She stopped by to meet him the day before we left and sent lots of pictures while we were away!”
“Jessica was amazing! Very helpful and my pup is was SO happy:)! She was very punctual and sent some great pics of my pup to ease my mind :)! Looking forward to working with her again:)!”
“We are thrilled with Rosa’s care for our dogs. She took on the big task of taking our energetic dogs outside to go potty then spent some time with them inside. We felt a sigh of relief after she sent her report with photos giving our pups an A+ for good behavior. We plan to book Rosa again.”
About: I know it can be scary to trust a stranger with your fur babies but I’ve taken care of pets all of my life. I’ve always grown up with family dogs- from frenchies to golden retrievers. I’ve had a cat and a pitbull of my own. I’m always the first to voluteer to pet sit and I love all animals. The more cuddles and treats the better I’ll follow any rules or advice you have to make sure that your pet has the best possible experience and most fun under my watch from games, walks, to relaxing I have a very flexible schedule and can help as many times a day you need including week days and weekends I have a very open and flexible schedule for week days and weekends. Whether it’s multiple times a day while you’re at work or on vacation or a lunch time walk while your meeting ran long I am unable to bring your pets to my home unfortunately. I am happy to travel to your home as many times a day as needed
“Maura is dependable and efficient. I felt at ease while away from my 3 cats while they were in her care. I received photos every day and she communicated well. She is highly recommended!”
“She is amazing with our pups. Shows them lots of love, good at updating and sending photos. Gives medication to our senior pup as well. This was a last minute drop in and she was able to see the babies!”
“Annabelle was so fantastic!!! I’m an anxious cat mom who very very rarely leaves her boy at home and Annabelle put me at such ease. She sent tons of pictures and actually spent time playing with my crazy orange guy (who definitely needs the play time). She truly treated Finn like he was one of her own pets and was attentive with things I didn’t even expect a rover to do. When we got home, we saw that she left a postcard with pictures of Finn from the visit. My heart!!!! Annabelle was communicative, attentive, and overall just so caring with Finn and I would recommend her to any cat parent who wants to make sure their baby is well taken care of. 100/5 stars!”
“Deanna was amazing and I would recommend her next level service to anyone. We were nervous to leave our dog with someone new but she was timely, thorough and gave frequent updates. Our little girl was happy to see us when we got back, but you could tell she was really well taken care of. Thanks Deanna!!!”
About: I have been the biggest dog person my entire life! I grew up with dogs in the house and we’ve always had at least 2 dogs at a time. I’ve owned miniature schnauzers and boxers so I have experience with different sizes. I love cuddling with them and playing when they have a bunch of energy built up that they need out! I’m always willing to play with them. My attention will always be to your dog simply since I love them so much. There have been many times when I watch a dog completely on my own and I have never had an issue. I work full time but I am very open to seeing dogs after work and I’m always free on the weekends! With my work schedule, I’m always free on the weekends and usually one day during the work week! I’d love to use my free time to hang with your dog. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs at home! I’m also a homebody so your dog will have plenty of cuddle time.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for forever, i assure you the time i spend with your lovely pets will be filled with non the less playtime and a whole lot of love. My schedule is as flexible as you need it to be! My job is to make yours easier and to reassure you, your furr babies are in great hands. Also, I will travel a fair distance if needed. No pets left behind! My schedule is very flexible at the moment, I am able to take care of your furr babies with no problems! I am definitely somebody that you could call and turn to in case of any emergencies regarding my assistance with your pets, my phone is always open to you! My two dogs are very well taken care of, trained, and well behaved, and ready for a new friend! We love going on walks, I have a fenced in backyard. Pets are allowed on furniture. Dogs are NOT put in crates. My babies get fed twice a day with TREATS throughout the day. Playtime is endless in this household (and in any) Hopes to meet each and every one of you very soon :)

Nancy L.Star Sitter
“I recently had Nancy care for my dog Zoey and was thoroughly impressed! Nancy is not just a caretaker, but a true companion for Zoey. Reliability and communication was top notch and it was evident that Zoey genuinely enjoyed being with Nancy. If you need a pet sitter/walker, who is reliable, has excellent communication and a true love for animals Nancy is the only choice! I highly recommend her, and I’m grateful for the peace of mind that was provided during my time away.”

Haley B.
“My dog is obsessed with Haley — and honestly, I get it. She’s the kind of person who will sit on the floor just to give extra belly rubs, send me the cutest photo updates, and make sure my doggy is so loved while I’m away. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals, she always has. Basically, if you want someone who will treat your pet like their own, she’s your girl!”
