“My 2 dogs and cats enjoyed a calm evening with Linda. We got pics with updates as needed. It turned into a later night than we expected and Linda was very gracious.”
“Hailey did a great job with communicating while we were gone. My pets were happy, healthy, and tired when I got home. I will definitely be using her again!”
“I think our dogs had a better vacation than we did. Sue even got our timid little dog to rollover for belly rubs. She sent many updates and left our house exactly how we left it. It was so nice to be able to relax knowing that our dogs were being spoiled and loved.”
“Theresa did a great job with our puppies. She was on time and on track with one of the puppy's daily meds and sent pictures of the puppies all snuggled in. We will definitely call her back to sit with our puppies in the future. Thanks.”
“Alyssa did a great job with Cedar. She met Cedar twice before watching her for a week because cedar is usually reactive. She liked Alyssa immediately. Alyssa cleaned the sheets before leaving which I didn’t ask her to do! And the house is just as clean if not cleaner than when we left.”
“Charity is so great! She has housesat for my dog Laynie twice now, and both times everything went great. She sends a ton of pictures and lets me know how Laynie is doing, how she's eating and drinking, and keeps her on her schedule.”
“Bryce did a great job! He was very communicative while housesitting with our cat. He was very responsive and left the house cleaner than he found it. Would highly recommend!”
“Kristi did a great job taking care of my “takes a while to warm up to new people” dog. She provided plenty of updates and my dog seemed well cared for when we got home.”
“Linda took great care of our two dogs! She always responded quickly to my messages and sent several pictures over the weekend while we were away. We knew our dogs were happy and comfortable.”
“Erika was amazing. She took the time and bonded with our dog and kept us up to date. Definitely highly recommend.”
“Andrew stayed with our two coonhounds for 12 days. We highly, highly recommend him and will use him again. We received multiple texts throughout the day and pictures or videos of our boys daily. One of our hounds is very high strung and reactive. Andrew worked on some training with him and when we got home, he showed us what he had been doing with the training. There is a noticeable improvement in our boy's behavior. The house was maintained and plants watered, but most importantly, our boys were happy and content with Andrew. It is very apparent in the pictures and videos how much they like him!”
“She was great with the dogs and super responsive!”
About: I've cared for pets of all kinds and understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and well-loved while you're away. From dogs who need a good run to cats who prefer a cozy lap, I adjust to each pet’s needs and personality. I follow instructions closely, stay active and engaged, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m a teacher with summers off, so I have plenty of availability for pet care during the day, evenings, and even overnight stays. Feel free to reach out with your schedule. I’m happy to work around your needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or stopping by for visits, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. I follow all instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or preferred walking routes and make sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I keep a clean, calm space, always check doors and gates, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
“Absolutely outstanding! She was so amazing with the amount of updates and pictures during the whole period of time. She was extremely understanding of all of my dog’s needs and also very supportive of me as a dog mom. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Taegan is the best!! She's highly responsible and a great communicator. She took such good care of all our fur babies AND our home. From the jump, she easily provided me the peace of mind that's so crucial when you're trusting someone with lots of nuance and details. 10/10 recommend.”
“Sydney was great at house sitting with our pets. She followed directions perfectly and the pets were very happy to have her companionship. We will definitely book her again.”
“Sara was amazing! I can tell my doggo had a wonderful time with her! She took lots of pictures and made sure she was there very frequently and asked when she had a question about anything. Can’t wait to have her again!”
“Desirey is consistent and reliable. We trust her with Penny and our house as she stays with Penny at our house during sits. She’s watching Penny for us again in June and then hopefully in July as well. Thank you, Desirey, for caring for Penny these past few visits.”
“Rachel is an amazing dog and house sitter. Our Meatball loves when she comes to stay with him. Our house is always left as she found it. She is a great communicator and cares for our dog like her own. She’s our go to choice!!”

Victoria was amazing! She stayed at my place for a full week to take care of my dogs, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept everything clean, followed all my pup’s routines, had great communication and sent us the perfect amount of cute pictures of our pups. Our dogs looked so happy and relaxed when we got back — honestly, I think they might have been a little sad to see Victoria go! It was such a relief knowing our dogs and home were in great hands while we were away. We highly recommend Victoria to anyone needing a reliable, kind, and caring sitter. She is definitely our new go to sitter!
Alyssa and her mom were awesome. They met our three dogs a couple days prior to a 3 week long trip our wife and I were taking. They responded quickly and kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures of the dogs every day. Our house was also in great condition and very clean and tidy when we arrived back. We definitely will book again when we both need to leave for a trip.
