“So grateful for Emily and Evan! They were able to housesit my pup at the last minute, were extremely responsive and sent updates throughout my trip. You can tell that they are true animal lovers and I was so relieved to know my Margot was well taken care of.”
About: I've trained and cared for dogs since childhood. My family ran a pitbull rescue for many years, so I have plenty of experience with all kinds of behavioral issues and breeds. I have trained my own dog to be a TSA certified service dog. There's nothing I love more than curling up with a happy tired pup! I've also cared for other pets such as rodents and reptiles. I work from home. Your pet would never be left alone more than a couple hours. I can also do my work from anywhere, so it's easy to care for your pet in your home. I find it's best to tailor the care to your pet. Some pets are much less stressed when staying in their own home, while some areore outgoing
“Amazing experience, tons of detailed updates and pictures throughout the sit. I felt so confident that my pets were being cared for well while we were out of town for the weekend 😊”
“Grace was amazing! They were super flexible when our timeline changed last minute and kept our pup safe and happy while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook!”
“Jessica was wonderful with our pup! We felt so safe and relived to find a great sitter to stay with our dog for the weekend! Will be booking again. You’re fur babies are in good hands with her! Thank you Jessica! ❤️”
“Rozz did an exceptional job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away for a week. I highly recommend her. She is kind and thoughtful and I felt very secure that she was looking after our house and pets”
“Sianneh stepped in to takeover care when our friends, who had been taking care of our home and pets while we were away, had to cut their time short unexpectedly. It was evident from the start just how seriously she takes her work! Even though the handover and pet information really all had to be done on the phone and through messaging from another country she handled it all expertly and put us totally at ease! She provided many updates and asked questions as needed and we returned to happy, well cared for pets and a tidy home! Thanks Sianneh!”
“Margo took great care of my senior dog. She is reliable and a good communicator. She puts in the time and effort to genuinely understand the animal she takes care of. I would definitely recommend her pet sitting services.”
“Thank you so much for watching the pups again!! We really appreciate the flexibility while we were at the hospital for the birth of our son. We always know the pups are in great hands when they’re in your care :)”
“Rachel watched Mia for our first international trip! She took wonderful care of her and our home. She was responsive and communicated with us. Mia loved all the attention. Can’t wait to book Rachel again for our next trip!”
“Kirsten stayed at our house and watched our high energy English Pointer for a long weekend and she was fantastic! She sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Our pup was happy and tired when we got home. Our dog can be difficult with all her energy but Kirsten was able to handle her well. She was also an amazing house guest. We will definitely be hiring Kirsten again for future trips.”
“Y’all. YALL. I’m just saying… Sky is FANTASTIC. Soooo personable, friendly, actually took our dog on a walk, and it’s evident that she really cares. Our dog, William, warmed up to Sky SO fast. I hope everyone can book her but I also hope that y’all don’t take my Saturdays ?”
“Jessica was the most amazing overnight pet sitter I’ve had the pleasure to work with! Instead of being a straightforward case, I had to throw her a number of curveballs, which Jessica was an absolute pro in handling, with a level of kindness, patience and understanding that is rare to come across. She is just a great person and I am grateful I entrusted my fur babies with her! Thank you again and again, Jessica!!”
“Syd made a point of spending time with me and Pepper to get to know them first. They were on time and kept in touch with me while I was away. Everything was as I left it upon my return. Pepper was happy and Syd was so gracious. Will ask Syd to care for my home and my girl again!”
“Christina was great with Chuck! He got so much love, care and attention. Chuck is sweet but also an energetic not fully trained nippy puppy, so not easy! Christina is reliable, caring and skilled at taking care of dogs and goes the extra mile to treat them like her own. He got plenty of love attention and exercise. We got cute pictures of him throughout the week. It was a nice bonus that she got our mail and packages, watched our house and left our house clean and tidy. I would recommend her to friends, neighbors and family that needs pet care.”
“Let me tell you: Rachel is the most amazing pet sitter. Reliable, communicative and above all - a magician! She gets my fussy little fellow to warm up and snuggle. He sits on her lap. This is stunning! I feel so confident when Rachel is there. This is an overnight job and Rachel is so considerate and caring of all the little details. She is an ACE.”
“Rajat came through when our friend canceled on us last minute. He was wonderful. Made time to come out and meet the dogs quickly and was very communicative about his arrival and what was happening with our dogs once he got in. He took great care of our pups and our house. We would highly recommend Raj and definitely ask him to dog sit again!”
“We have had Phillip watch our dog several times this summer and would highly recommend. Most recently we went on a longer trip with a late night flight arrival home, and Phillip was accommodating for our all needs. We are grateful for the care of our dog and our home to make our trip stress free.”
