Elvia is an amazing dog sitter! She was available on short notice, which was such a relief. My dogs loved her, she spent plenty of time playing with them and making sure they were happy and entertained. I especially appreciated the frequent updates and adorable pictures she sent, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Elvia to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter for their dogs!

Nicole was absolutely wonderful with Winston! She treated him with so much love and care; Winston had a fantastic time and I came home to a happy and relaxed pup, which says everything. It was such a relief to be away for the day knowing he was in such great hands. I'll definitely be booking with Nicole again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!

Emma did an amazing job taking care of our almost two year old pup. She clearly has a natural ability with animals and put my mind at ease from the moment we met her. She was great at absorbing and following our directions and was very communicative during our trip, sending lovely updates and photos. Our dog was clearly and well cared for throughout and we have already booked Emma for another getaway. Very happy to have found her!

About: Had dogs all in my life since I was a child and took care of them through every stage of their lives. They were special additions to our active military family, fabulous, loyal companions and teachers adding an incredible richness to my life as I was able to add to theirs. Dogs help us and are special gifts from God. They are our assigned four-legged guardian angels helping us to unravel the mysteries of life and teaching us how to really love. I am semi-retired doing part-time swim instruction and have a sole proprietorship specializing in consulting for low-voltage Wifi, surveillance camera, access control installations, advanced fitness/longevity training and home improvement handyman projects along with hobbies in investment research and writing. I enjoy some gardening, plus doing updates on the house and vehicle maintenance. I have past US military training as a Master Fitness Trainer and corporate, as well as, small business IT/technical experience. I have a beautifully fenced in backyard that is regularly mown and maintained and semi-organically managed to keep it healthier for dogs than a typically perfectly manicured "Chemlawn." I still pull a lot of weeds by hand, but it's safer for my puppies, that way. They're well worth the effort. 😉Our family has a 7-stage reverse osmosis water system including a natural alkalyzing dispenser to assure great tasting safe drinkable water for all here in this homestead. I grew up in an active military medical family with various dogs from a Lhasa Apso, Shepherd mix, Terrier mix, Golden Retriever, Springers, Border Collie and a Rottweiler. I'm comfortable with many breeds and am a Cesar Millan fan. My wife and I both grew up with dogs throughout our lives and our little Morkie and Maltese are current regular priorities as our furry dog children. We experience much enjoyment daily as we care for our animal family and friends. Let's seize the day, "Carpe diem" and unpack the gift of every day that God so graciously grants to each one of us in this miracle on earth we experience, called life.

I am so glad we went with Katharine to take care of our dog while we were away. She was very thoughtful, caring and asked the right questions. You can most certainly trust Katharine with your pet, and home should you need care in the form of house sitting. Communicative and professional, we would look to hire again. She was terrific

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!

Nicole is amazing! I'm an extremely nervous dog-mom who has put off traveling for years because I didn't want to leave my "son" with a stranger. Nicole took such good care of our "boy. She actually stayed with him almost the whole time, not leaving him alone for long. She sent videos and pics, and by the first night she had won our pup over. Nicole is super responsive to emails/texts, flexible and accommodating with her schedule, and left our home in perfect condition. We are so grateful!!

If you want to leave your dogs with someone and never worry at all about their mental well-being, their feeding needs, their exercise then you need to hire Jesse as your sitter. He's taken my care of my dogs for many days and I will say there is no better. Not only were my dogs, completely relaxed and happy, but my house was also immaculate and every instruction was followed to the tee, including the complicated medical things that one of my dog needs to have followed. Jesse is all around the best I've had!

We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, sending multiple updates every day with pictures and videos that truly put our minds at ease. Shelby always looked so happy and comfortable, which meant everything to us. When we returned home, it was spotless. On top of that, when there was a possibility of a flight cancellation, she immediately offered to stay an extra day without hesitation. She is kind, responsible, and genuinely wonderful. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care for their home and pet. We look forward to her watching Shelby again.

Maria is incredible. She not only sends tons of updates, videos, and photos but also the pictures she takes are amazing!! She catches great candids. She handled all things house related and cleans up on the way out. She is so reliable and kind. Our dog had the best time playing with her dogs -her dogs are so well behaved and sweet. Our cat is a grumpy prince and within hours he was snuggling with her. We can’t wait to use her again. Thanks Maria!
