“Omar was a house sitter for our dog and cat on relatively short notice due to a sudden death of a close relative. Omar was flexible and communicated very well with us. We greatly appreciated the morning and evening pictures of both pets. Highly recommended and we will be a repeat customer.”


“Felicia did a great job taking care of my fur babies! I am fortunate to have Felicia as our pet sitter again; knowing they are in good loving hands! Her communication & pet photography skills are excellent too. Coming home to a clean house & happy cats/dog is so wonderful! I highly recommend Felicia! Thank you Felicia!!”


“Duncan fit in great with the dogs and was everything we hoped for leaving our older dogs for a long weekend. He was communicative before and during the house-sit, and left the house very clean. I don’t doubt he treated the dogs like family and we will definitely hire him in the future.”


“Nikki is extremely communicative, responsible, and great with my dog, Joy. Joy also loves her. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Nikki, and will absolutely be contacting her again whenever I need a dog sitter.”


“Sarah was wonderful! Our dog has anxiety and takes time to warm up to strangers, but he wanted pets from her within minutes of them meeting. She was very understanding and patient with him, given the anxiety. Knowing Sarah was with him gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our time away. Thank you so much Sarah for taking such great care of our boy!!”


“Mychelle once again did a fantastic job pet sitting for us at our home. We highly recommend her. Communication before and during was excellent. She left the house in beautiful shape - as nice or nicer than we left it! Great job and would not hesitate to book Mychelle again!”


“Jasmine far exceed my expectations. I recent adopted Salem and although she’s the sweetest mild tempered girl, she is a big pittie and she’s readjusting to life indoors after being let on the street. Jasmine thoroughly cared for Salems needs, provided reassurance and great companionship. I would recommend her to anyone and would rebook in the future!”


“This was the second time Kayla cared for Bealey and she sends great pics and updates. She’s awesome and I will continue to ask for her when I need care for my Bealey girl.”


“Ashley was superb with my senior Ollie. I will 100% hire her back anytime, actually wish I had found her sooner! My dog has a lot of health problems and I totally trusted her with him. She is grounded, honest, warm, and super kind. He absolutely loved her, even ate for her after days of not wanting to eat. What a great lady!”


“Jay stayed overnight with my 2 cats for 4 nights. She was a wonderful houseguest and even better with my cats! Communication was constant, she respected my home, took care of my plants as well and I will book her again for future needs.”


“Absolutely wonderful!!! Rowyn took care of my two pups and lizard while keeping an eye on the house while I was away and did an amazing job. Very thoughtful and left things tidier than when she came as well as kept me update with adorable pictures every day made missing them a little bit better! Definitely will be asking for her in the future if needed ❤️”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I’ve provided love, structure, and personalized care to each one. I also have hands-on experience working with sick and disabled dogs, including those who are deaf, blind, or have special medical needs. Whether it’s a hyperactive husky, a mellow bulldog, or a senior golden retriever needing a little extra TLC, I’m confident in handling it all. I know every pet is unique, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work remotely, which means I’m home and fully available throughout the day to care for your pets. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, your furry friend will have my full attention. I also take frequent walks around my quiet neighborhood and love visiting nearby parks—perfect for dogs who enjoy fresh air and outdoor time. Whether your pup needs a high-energy adventure or a slow stroll with lots of sniffing breaks, I’m happy to match their pace and needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care like family—with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. I’m confident handling dogs of all temperaments and have experience with pets who are shy, reactive, or have special medical or mobility needs. I closely follow your instructions and routines to keep your pet feeling secure and stress-free. Whether it’s administering medications, keeping a close eye during walks, or providing updates while you’re away, you can count on me to go the extra mile for your peace of mind. You’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I take that seriously.

“When I first met with Alexa I knew that she was the person I wanted to care for my pets! You can tell she is such an animal lover. We got daily updates with pictures while away. She even became buddies with my kitties…they tend to be shy around new people. If you are looking for peace of mind while away, Alexa is definitely the person you want! I highly recommend her and will use her in the future!!”

We can’t thank Alexa enough for coming into our home and taking such great care of our dog and two cats. She kept us updated every day with pictures and text messages. They all loved her! This was our first experience having a sitter stay in our home and it couldn’t have gone better.

Deltona was an awesome dog sitter for our 8 month old Rottweiler! She spent a lot of time at the house so that Ruby wouldn’t have to be in her crate all day and gave her lots of love while we were away! She also sent lots of pictures and videos which I always appreciate! I will definitely use her services for our future needs!
