“Emma was great! She was extremely professional. She took amazing care of both my pet and my house while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be calling her again. Perfect all around.”

“This was our first time using DJ as our dog sitter and we were very happy with everything. He was timely and responsive both during the initial meet and greet session and then with the actual dog sitting. He also communicated well, took care of our mail, and left the house near and clean. Most importantly, Finnegan, our 12 year old yellow lab liked him! We would definitely use DJ again.”
“We were very happy that Nicole could spend a few hours with Buster today! He loves to hang out with her and we are able to enjoy a day out without worry.”

“Jessica was outstanding. Super friendly during our meet and greet. Our trio of two cats and a pup took to her right away and we never looked back. Jessica sent tons of great updates via cute photos and videos, she left our home in pristine condition and we would gladly ask her to sit with us again without hesitation.”

“Me and my husband were worry to leave Chloe for 14 days but Ashley and Mauricio were absolutely amazing! They stayed at my house with Chloe and they took amazing care of her! They sent me a lot of photos and videos and I can tell she misses them already! Thank you s much for taking such great care of Chloe! You deserve more than 5 stars ?”


“Elvia was excellent with our mini-goldendoodle who doesn’t like most sitters. She played with him and sent us great photos. She is dependable and asked a lot of questions that showed she cared about our pet. We definitely use her again!”

“Crystal was great. She was helpful teaching me about training a husky i recently adopted thos week. My doggie adored her and cat Jackie. She provided pictures. Great sitter who communicated keeping my anxiety at bay. I am using her again.”

“Alexandra was great! We left her with our 10 week old kitten and she did an amazing job of keeping him entertained and out of trouble. She sent us lots of updates and went above and beyond to make sure that Bergamot was well cared for. We'll definitely be using her again.”

“Lana is amazing!! She watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were away for a week. She gave them tons of attention, was thoughtful with her care and pet stimulation, and very responsive. She also left our house clean and went above and beyond in caring for our space. We can’t wait to book Lana again”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, especially senior pups who need a little extra love and support. I cared for my mini dachshund from childhood through her older years and have looked after many pets with medical conditions, so I’m confident giving medication, staying on top of routines, and tuning into what each pet needs. As a therapist, I bring a calm, loving, and attuned presence to every visit. I treat every pet with reliability, warmth, and lots of snuggles. Whether it’s playtime, a slow walk, or just company while you’re away, I’m here to care for your pet with heart. I work remotely and make my own schedule as a therapist, so I’m able to easily build pet care into my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I’m used to structuring my schedule around care and consistency, so your pet would get reliable attention, supervision, and lots of affection throughout the week. I’m especially experienced with small dogs who are curious, clever, and love to squeeze into tight spaces, so I know firsthand how important it is to stay attentive. I make sure pets are always in my line of sight or that I know exactly where they are at all times. I also check in with clients about house rules, including which areas are pet-friendly or off-limits, and I work with them to create a safe, comfortable environment. Whether it’s keeping doors closed, watching for sneaky hiding spots, or just being extra mindful, I prioritize your pet’s safety and wellbeing like they’re my own.
“Olivia was amazing with both of our animals! Sent a ton of pictures and even taught our puppy new tricks! She left our home super clean and was very thoughtful and accommodating overall. Will definitely use her again 😊”

“Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?”


“Vladimir dog sat/house sat for us while we were out of town. He was very communicative and gave regular updates and pictures. We were very glad to have him stay. We came home to a happy pup and clean home. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend Vladimir!”

“This is the 3rd time we have used Kenisha for pet sitting for our dog and cat. This trip was 2.5 weeks away and as always Kenisha was amazing. She takes great care of our girls and coming home to a sparkling clean house is an added bonus. Book her now!”

“Destiny was fantastic! She accepted our request on short notice and was amazing with our new puppy and older cat. She was very communicative, responsive and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely reach out to her again and recommend her highly!”

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.
