“Bradley was awesome, he took amazing care of our two dogs while we were in Florida for the week. He was on time and sent us a lot of updates during his visits. The dogs seems to really like him as well. We will use him again in the future!!! Thanks again Bradley!!!”
2. Amanda S.
“Amanda is ALWAYS so dependable, sends updates and responds immediately. She’s such a great pet sitter! I appreciate her always willing to help out, especially when it’s short notice. I always know my babies are taken care of. Thanks again, Amanda!”
3. David D.
“David was great with my furry girl, and that says a lot because she doesn't warm up to anyone too quickly! She has a lot of anxiety and she is not very well socialized, but she warmed up to him after like one day. He's definitely a dog whisperer! She seemed to be at peace with him, and he sent me pictures from ever visit which definitely put me at ease too! He's great, and I will be using him again!”
4. Anne Y.
“Absolutely wonderful! Went above and beyond and was so loving and attentive to my pet! I can breathe so much easier knowing there is such a lovely cat sitter nearby!”
5. Kara E.
“Kara is great! My kitty really seemed to enjoy her company. She is professional and kind. We had to work out a system for a lockbox for the keys and there were no problems at all. I was out of the country and worried about any emergencies but I would 100% trust and recommend Kara!”
6. Alice D.
“Alice took great care of my cat while I was away! She was very communicative and professional. Thanks Alice!”
7. Britany R.
“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”
8. Leesa H.
“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”
9. Sierra H.
“Siera was so awesome with my dogs . She even got kisses from the one that doesn’t like anyone. I am so grateful for all she did for my fur babies. I will defiantly use her again.”

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
12. Michelle B.
“Michelle is awesome! She is trustworthy, sends photos of your pups, and will love your animals!! You can trust her with your pups and in your home :) Very reliable and kind person. Highly recommend!!!”
13. Brittany H.
“Brittany was absolutely fantastic! Despite the last-minute nature of my trip, she was incredibly accommodating. I’m extremely pleased with her professionalism and how smoothly everything transitioned.”
14. Monroe B.
“Monroe did a great job with my cats. They are very reclusive so she didn't actually see them, but she visited faithfully and took care of their needs. She is very pleasant and cooperative to work with. Highly recommend.”
15. Sara L.
“Sara is a detail oriented pup-lover who is absolutely obsessed with her own labradoodle, Lorenzo, and truly bonds with dogs more than other humans. I've seen her take amazing care of her own animals, as well as mine - she my go-to puppy sitter when I'm out of town. You lil poochie pal with be in great hands Sara!”
16. Haley H.
“Haley did an awesome job caring for my two cats while I was away. They were very shy at first but she persevered and they warmed up to her. I definitely will hire her again!”
17. Abby M.
“It was really great to have Abby drop by to look after my kitties while I was away for my wedding during the holidays. I could be free of worries during my time away knowing they were in good hands.”
18. Daniela D.
“Daniela is one of the most kind and caring individuals I know. If I need anything for my pets she is the first person I ask because I know that she’ll drop everything for me and my animals. She is amazing with every dog I have seen her with, and she is personally besties with my dog.”
19. Meilyn W.
“Meilyn is an excellent caregiver. She fostered two bottlers kittens who were on four medications and hanging on to life. She nursed them back to life by bottle feeding them every four hours. Administered medication and love. They thrived more each day and were adopted into their forever homes.”
