“Charity is wonderful to work with! She followed everything I instructed her and was on time! She is a very reliable person and would love to utilize her dogsitter services again if needed. Thank you!! ?”
“Abigail did a wonderful job house sitting and watching our dog for us! Our dog has some separation anxiety and hasn’t done well in boarding facilities or staying at someone else’s home so we decided to try house sitting. We were a little nervous about it but Abigail put our minds at ease, sent us updates every day and took such good care of him! He was much more comfortable in his own environment and I didn’t have to stress about him while we were away. I would 100% book with her when going out of town in the future.”
“Sonya was awesome! She took great care of my senior dog, sent pictures and updates daily and left my place just as it was when she arrived. I would definitely book her again and would recommend her to others as well.”
“My two French bulldogs love Emily so much & I know they are being loved and well taken care of by her. My house is always in perfect shape, too, when she stays over. Highly recommend! Five stars!”
“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.”
“Marie was great! She brought along treats to calm Sadie upon arrival, sent pics and comments throughout her stay, and kept our home tidy as well. We’ll be using her services again soon!”
“Briana was AMAZING! My cats and myself loved her! Went above and beyond ! Will be booking with her again. Couldn’t have chose a better sitter”
“James was fabulous! Very attentive to my pup and he also sent updates including pictures. He also asked questions to make certain about the care for my pub. James is top notch!”
About: My parents would take me to their friends houses growing up and if they couldn’t find me they would look for the family pet and know that’s where I would probably be. I grew up riding horses, have dogs, and going to families farms. I have such a love for animals and understand the deep bond and support they provide people. I dog sit rescues who need some time warming up to very energetic pups! I feel really comfortable with all sizes and kinds of dogs and take feedback about how to support individual animals seriously! I work in schools and am off between 3 - 5 weekly. Fridays I have a lot of flexibility and can work from home which makes walks, letting pups out, or a check-in easy on Fridays! I usually go to homes! If you’re comfortable with your pup staying with me I have a very friendly love pup named Frederick who would love to be your pups best friend!
“Alyssa was fantastic with our two cats! She kept us up-to-date on their antics (and naps) and sent us photos so we didn’t miss them too much! She stayed at our house for the weekend and it gave us such peace of mind to know someone was there with them. I hate to say it but she took such good care of them I’m pretty sure they didn’t miss us at all… 😼”
“Linda was amazing for our little Karl!!! We were so thankful didn’t haveto be kenneled. She played with Karl who does require a lot of attention and play time. She kept us updated and sent pics and videos. It was so nice to be able to relax knowing he was in good hands!!! Our house was just the way we left it!! Very respectful!!! Book her if you can you’ll be happy you did.”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter over the holidays, and Rachel very kindly stepped in! She was communicative and very respectful in our space, and we can tell the dogs had a great time! We absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Amazing!”
About: I owned/grew up with 5 cats over the span of 20 years and I have always loved being around my family and friend’s dogs; walking and sitting for them periodically!! Every fur baby matters to me and I enjoy loving on them❤️ I would love to get out and enjoy the beautiful spring weather on some walks with furry friends!! I’m available during the week for an hour lunch break Monday-Wednesday, then after 5:30pm. Thursday-Saturday I’m available late afternoon into the evening, and I’m available Sunday afternoons as well😁 I currently live in a pretty good sized apartment, but there is a dog park close by I could always bring them to. I have big beautiful windows for cats to enjoy some sunshine in!
“Bryce was really reliable and great with communication! He established an early connection with Ziggy and got along well and Ziggy was in great shape when I came home! Overall, he was an awesome dogsitter ?”
“Claudette was absolutely amazing. She was so thoughtful and caring, and my pup and kitty were so relaxed and happy when I got home. This was the first time she house sat for us, and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Victoria did a phenomenal job of taking care of Rhyolite and Milo, and on short notice. Rhyolite is a puppy mill rescue and can take a bit to warm up to new people, but he took to Tori immediately. We received lots of pictures and updates of the happy boys chilling out with Victoria. We returned to happy dogs and a neat and tidy house. I can tell that Tori is an animal lover and we were very comfortable with her taking care of the boys. It really allowed us to enjoy our time away. We will definitely use Tori again. Thank you!”
“Kelsey was PHENOMENAL. It was our first time using her and we can not rave about how great her stay was with our 2 dogs. She is very responsive and kept us up to date on everything going on day by day. Can not recommend her enough and we will be using her services again!”
“Ellen was a wonderful help to us with our two cats while we were out of town. She had great communication throughout, providing updates and details. Our furbabies were well taken care of and Ellen went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will definitely hire Ellen again!”
