“Dana is amazing! She’s super sweet and I can tell my dog really enjoyed himself. She sent plenty of pictures which was great for peace of mind. I’m already looking forward to booking again. Book now! Your pet will be in great hands!”

About: I’m a huge dog lover, there isn’t much that I’m more passionate about than dogs. I come from a big dog loving family. I’ve been a dog owner most of my life. Since I was about 8 I would study and research all I could about dogs and I’ve even trained pretty much every family dog we’ve. It was mostly the basics and cool tricks. Even til this day I enjoy teaching my pup new fun tricks I pretty much have open availability on weekends. I work through the week but I’m willing to help out with the pups through the week as well My pup has free roam in my house. Only place off limits is the kitchen but I like for her to be comfortable . My pup is crate trained but I allow her to stay out if I’ll only be gone for a few hours. Making sure the house is clean first
“He took great care of my dog and provided daily updates. I was comfortable he was in good hands. His husky mix is adorable and played well with my dog. I booked a 2nd stay.”

About: I’ve had years of experience caring for cats and small pets, both my own and others’. I’m attentive to each cat’s unique personality—whether they’re playful and curious or shy and reserved—and I make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. My routine includes regular feeding, litter box maintenance, interactive playtime, and plenty of cuddles for social cats (or quiet companionship for more independent ones). What sets me apart is my patience and reliability. I communicate frequently with owners, providing daily updates and photos, so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for. I’m also skilled at reading feline behavior and adjusting my approach accordingly—whether it’s helping a nervous cat warm up or recognizing when a senior cat needs extra comfort and gentle care. I am available during all weekdays and weekends. I will plan my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time each day for feeding, playtime, and check-ins. Whether it’s early morning visits before classes or evening sessions after work, I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. I focus on maintaining their daily routines and creating a calm, familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions closely from feeding times and portion sizes to preferred toys and special habits to make sure each pet feels safe and cared for. I will make sure that the cats have a loving day!
“Alvin was great! I’m planning to book him every time I need a sitter. He provided good, timely updates, made my dog feel like part of the family, and made sure my dog was active. I greatly appreciate him and highly recommend.”

“Marissa did a great job watching my weirdo dogs! I was a little nervous at first about how they’d get along with her dog, Zoe, but after a quick pack walk they were all playing happily in the backyard. Zoe is super well-behaved and clearly used to being around other dogs, which made everything go really smoothly. She also sent me a picture and an update during the day, which I really appreciated. My pups came home tired and ready for a nap… a sign of a good day! Highly recommend!”

“Meredith was just great We left her with our 2 little dogs and were very comfortable with her care of them Our senior boy has a lot of demands and we could tell Meredith took excellent care of him We liked receiving daily updates and will definitely book with her again”


“My dogs are safe and well cared for, and get to play with Anais’s dog when they are with her. One of my dogs requires medication and Anais is careful to keep it refrigerated until it’s used. I also appreciate how promptly Anais responds to texts. She is my go-to sitter!”

“We loved having Barron take care of Tosco! He made sure to learn all about him before we dropped him off and he was very responsive and caring. Will definitely be requesting his help again!”

“Hope was wonderful! I had an emergency and Hope took care of Tru at the last minute. She gave my pup so much love, playtime, and fun with toys and friends. The daily photos gave me total peace of mind—came home to one happy dog! I really appreciate Hope stepping in to ensure a smooth transfer and helping Tru acclimate!”

“Highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies! They sent me updates everyday and were super nice and took my dog on walks every day! I knew my dog was well taken care of 🥰 I would definitely book them again if I ever need a dog sitter again!”

“Freeman is a wonderful sitter! My senior dog Nala was happy and well cared for. He was flexible with my drop off and pick up times and even sent us home with a bone and a fresh bag of treats. I highly recommend and I will definitely be using his services again!”

“Isabella, thank you so much for taking such great care of our Star. All the pictures and updates meant so much to us as this was the longest we’ve ever been away from her. I could tell she felt right at home and loved being with you and Ollie. Thanks again, and we can’t wait to book with you for Star in the future. Happy holidays! xoxo 💗”

“Peggy was such a wonderful pet sitter. Our dog Snoopy loved his stay with her and her pets. She met with us before Snoopy's stay to gather some information on him, and because we were out of town for a little over 1 week, she offered to watch Snoopy for an afternoon so he could get used to her house before his longer stay. I was very nervous leaving him for the first time in over 1.5 years, but she sent us photos and kept us updated during the week. Snoopy's bday month is September and she even planned a little bday party for him. She is such a kind and thoughtful person and I know Snoopy was very well taken care of. I would rebook Peggy in a heartbeat!”


“Peanut was very happy staying with Kristen and Jason. They did a great job taking care of him & sent photos of him regularly. He came back to us in good spirits. We will definitely use them again when we travel.”

“Lauren and Danny provide a great home for Cookie Crisp every time, despite Cookie’s separation anxiety. I will continue to use Lauren and Danny because I know Cookie is in good hands with them. They also send pictures and videos so I know Cookie’s having a good time!”

“She was excellent. Very attentive to both dogs and understood their personalities so quickly which is a plus. My senior dog is in charge and an old angry man sometimes and other times he's chill. She understood that right away. My other dog is playful and loves pets and she picked that up right away as well. I have never picked my dogs up before and they were so calm. They really liked her and I will be using her again in the future.”

Another amazing stay for Penny at “Camp Josh”! We have such peace of mind when Penny is with Josh. He sends pictures and videos throughout the day and keeps us updated on how she’s doing. And he spoils her - which is a good thing! She misses her buds Buzz and Phil when she gets home, too.

Ms. Peggy was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated on my pup throughout the entire stay, and her messages were so detailed that I truly felt like I was there with Chloe. She made sure Chloe was as comfortable as possible, which meant so much since it was her first time boarding with her. I will definitely be booking again!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Laura. I first entrusted her with my dog Mindy back in September, and I was so impressed that she was my first call when I needed a sitter for another recent trip. You can tell that Laura genuinely loves dogs. Mindy has anxiety, and Laura handles her with patience and care. She was able to give Mindy her medications without any issues, which gave me enormous peace of mind while I was away. Before our very first visit, we weren't able to meet in person, so Laura arranged a video chat so I could get to know her before dropping Mindy off. While I was traveling, Laura took Mindy on little adventures around town and kept me updated with texts and photos the whole time. There's nothing better than being away from your pet and getting a sweet photo that shows they're happy and well cared for. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Laura is your person!
