3. Rebecca T.

“Rebecca helped us out in a pinch. Our 9 month old high energy puppy hadn’t been prepared, but he did great under her care and we had huge relief. Our puppy was better behaved when we returned! Rebecca helped train and him and gave him lots of energy outlets.”




4. Dove E.

“It’s been medically necessary for my husband and I to be out of town for a month (possibly longer). Dove has been my angel sent from heaven. My two furry kids love her. She goes above and beyond to take wonderful care of them. She made my husbands day when she bought them both doggie ice cream and sent a video of them scarfing it down. I know I can rely on her so I can take care of my husband. I came home this weekend to unpack and repack and hose is spotless. She has helped me out bringing in freezer packages and mail and even put an ant trap in our mailbox because ants had taken over. Highly recommend!! And then some!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and I’ve also taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I foster for The Rescue Haven My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the dogs, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them


14. Jadyn D.

“Jadyn was our first dog sitter experience and we couldn’t be happier. We had so much anxiety going on vacation with a brand new puppy. Jadyn had a metal fencing for him, sent pictures and videos of him going on his very first walk and put our worries at ease. We’ll definitely use her again and would recommend her services. We appreciate making our vacation so much for relaxing. ☺️”


15. Michael K.
“Michael has been a great pet sitter for all of our pets, from cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and iguanas-he is great! He is a great communicator and will give your pet the love and care they need, all while keeping you updated on how they are doing. I would highly recommend Michael!”


16. Tyler D.

“She was great with our dog and this was our first time using this app and it was perfect t . Definitely will request her again.”


17. Lisa V.

“Lisa was awesome! Very calm and experienced. She kept us informed of our pups throughout her stay and was neat and tidy. We booked her last minute but she worked with us to still meet the doggos ahead of time ensuring we were all comfortable.”


18. Brooke H.


“Brooke did an amazing job taking care of my pups! She made sure they got plenty of exercise daily before all the rain during my trip. She provided pictures and videos to show me they were doing great. I definitely recommend her and will be rebooking for future needs.”


19. Petey P.

“Petey was absolutely amazing with my two pups. He checked in with us multiple times a day and when one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well he did a wonderful job of taking care of her. He will definitely be our 1st choice dog sitter moving forward.”
