“Tara was exceptional. 5++++. We were in town visiting family (no dogs were allowed in the rental house.) Tara made pick up and drop off super quick and efficient and our pup even came home with a new toy!!! She kept me updated With videos and pictures. I felt 100% confident leaving my dog with her And will definitely use her again when we are in town.”

“Danielle was incredible with our dog, she took the time to meet and greet with our pup and made sure he was comfortable with the other dogs. She sent us regular photos and updates as well, which is really nice to have when you’re leaving your dog with someone. This is the best experience we’ve had so far in our area and we’ll definitely be hiring Danielle again in the future! - Rachel”
“Alexi gave great updates and was so sweet with Pickles! He always looked very comfortable in his updates and seems to have had a great time with her pup Daisy too. Thank you so much Alexi and Daisy for letting Pickles stay with you!! We would definitely recommend.”
About: Hi my name is Jaycee I am a mom to 4 grown daughters and have had pets my whole life. I know it can be hard to find a trusted pet sitter but I am here to give you peace of mind. I am extremely reliable, responsible and easy to get along with. I am active and don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. Contact me if you have any questions. I am active and I don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. I am available 7 days a week. When caring for pets in my home, I love to have the pet feel like nothing has changed! If the dog loves to sleep in the bed, I am all for it! I like to keep the animals routine in place while the owners are away, I love to send photos and take cute pictures. Most of my time is spent at home so your dog will never be lonely.
“Lindsay was wonderful with our senior pug. She took extra care to make sure she was comfortable, constantly adapting and looking for ways to keep our little Zoe happy. Highly recommended and we will book again. Great sitter for those with senior pups that need extra TLC. She administered oral meds and eye drops for our pug.”
“Kelleen watched my Maltese mix, Bebe, from May 6 until May 16. I've used her services before and was very happy with the results. This time was no different. She sent pictures of Bebe on her walk daily and updated me with other activities. She has children at home, and I know Bebe was happy there. We had a few changes in the itinerary, and Kelleen was very accommodating. I will definitely use Kelleen again. I highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and James made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. From the start, he was incredibly communicative and thoughtful. He took the time to meet me before our trip to introduce Ricky to both him and his sweet dog, Brody, which really helped me feel comfortable. While we were away, James sent daily updates and photos, which meant the world to us. It was so reassuring to see Ricky having fun and being well cared for. You could tell James truly cares and puts effort into making sure both the dogs and their owners feel at ease. It sounds like Ricky and Brody got along great, and it felt more like a fun doggy playdate than just a sitting arrangement. I’m so grateful we found James — he’s a fantastic sitter, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pup.”
“Bella stayed with Maria & Robert for 2 nights and it went great. They sent regular updates with pics and video, helping me to feel comfortable that Bella was having a good time. Both Maria and Robert were kind, responsive, and friendly.”
“Cari and her family were amazing! We needed to schedule boarding over the holiday on very short notice, and Cari was so accommodating and easy to work with. Her and her family were so warm and welcoming to our dog, Goose, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in their care. Cari provided lots of updates with photos and videos which made us so happy while we were away. Goose got so much love and lots of walks with his new best friend. We absolutely recommend Cari!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Cienya provided for my dog. From the start she she was responsive, professional, and showed genuine love for animals. She kept me updated and sent me messages and photos which put my mind at ease. Vienna went above and beyond and I’ll definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommend her services! Tanya”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I’ve watched, fed, walked, bathed, and played (of course) with all kinds of animals from dogs, cats, fish, and even lizards in my lifetime! I currently own a 2yr old Doberman/Labrador mix that was a foster fail. His name is Koji and he’s very sweet. He would love to have a playmate, but if that’s not your preference, it’s no problem. I have always loved dogs but I’m good with any pet! Aside from some Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s, I am readily available all days of the week so I have plenty of time to love and care for your little animals! I am capable of providing almost any service needed to make your dog feel comfortable. I treat all pups with the love and care that they need. I’ll be sure to be attentive to your asks of me as a caretaker so I can tend to all the needs of your pup and make sure you both leave happy :)
“Katherine was terrific! We are so glad we found her. She did a great job taking care of our boy, Jersey. She was easy to communicate with and sent us photos daily. Her dog Tobey is a sweetie! I'll definitely use her again.”

We enjoyed Lindsay so much! There was a HUGE doggy bed that my dog raced to and couldn’t jump on fast enough. Then my dog found a basket with two huge new toys which she grabbed and jumped for joy with. Lindsay later sent a photo of my pup sleeping with the toy. Lindsay sent photos and updates from walks, dinner out, and other activities during our two day stay. Lindsay was open to learning about any quirks my dog has, what “command” words she knows, and so on. Great communication, very clean and inviting environment (including closed trash cans!), great access to clean water, frequent walks and outings; can’t say enough about how positive our stay was.
When I left Milo with Mandy, I immediately knew and trusted that he would be in good hands. She exceeded the expectations. He had a great time and you can tell. Usually when I drop him off at sitters he wants to go home. He did not want to leave her!! Genuinely a great sitter.
Diana and Emily took wonderful care of our mini schnauzer, Tito. They are friendly, flexible, and clearly love what they do. Tito had such an amazing time with them. When we picked him up, he was wagging his tail and ran right back to them for more cuddles. It was obvious he felt safe and happy in their care. We would highly recommend them!
Eric and Allison truly put the love in taking care of dogs — we had our 12 year-old dog Oreo with them for more than a week and he had a fabulous time. I can’t think both Allison and Eric for all their kind attention, if you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further! We will definitely be calling upon them again should we need to!

Kyrsten was awesome! It's a whole family effort at her house and everyone (kids included) love the dogs. She kept them very active for regular walks and she has a wonderful park just next to her house, which is perfect for their walks and exploring. She also sent many regular updates and pictures, which I loved receiving. I'd highly recommend Kyrsten and will definitely use her again.
Veronika and Marcus took fantastic care of our dog Penny! They were excellent at communicating and provided great updates/photos through the stay. Penny had so much fun playing with Maverick and he was so well behaved. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a caring home for their dog.
Olivia house sat for five days taking care of our Italian Greyhound. She was awesome. She did everything we asked, kept our home immaculate and most importantly kept my dog happy. She sent photos, administered meds and was always easy to contact. I will definitely be using her services again.
Maria and Ethan were awesome parents to my maltipoo when I had to leave town for a few days. They took her on fun walks and parks and sent photos the whole time. I was really grateful that they really loved and cared for my little girl who is 15 years old. Thank you!!
Katie is an exceptional dog sitter! We highly recommend her work, and we will surely use her dog boarding services again. While my family was on a 10 day holiday, Katie watched our two dogs at her home. Every day of the vacation, Katie sent me detailed photos and updates, providing peace of mind and allowing us to enjoy our trip. She was highly responsive and provided customized care for our pups. In particular, one of our dogs is a 12 year old senior. He had major surgery 2 years ago and since then he eats very lightly and often won’t eat in new environments. Katie took our advice on how to convince him to eat (and found her own methods too), and he ate well with her throughout the trip. This shows he was happy, comfortable and not stressed. Katie keeps her home very neat and clean. She is a diligent and organized dog sitter who goes above and beyond to do a good job. We highly recommend!
