Kira was great! We hired her to come to our vacation AirB&B for two evenings when friends we were visiting didn't want animals in their home. Kira spent a few hours with our dog, so we could have dinner with our friends at their house. Kira arrived and was right away in control (clearly, she has some dog-handling experience), and our dog seemed happy. We'll definitely hire her again the next time we visit our friends!

Our experience with Becca was fantastic! This was our first time having someone care for our pets in our home. We have an anxious young Cory who has experienced symptoms of trauma the past two times we boarded her and had to find a better way. Becca was very professional and easy to work with. She kept me updated with photos and texts while I was away. She was respectful of our home and she took care of a few extra things that came up while we were away. Upon our return, both dogs greeted us happily and our corgi carried on like it was just another day. I highly recommend Becca and look forward to booking her again!

Dahn was wonderful with our dog Levon! We went away for about 4 nights. Dahn was excellent at contacting us and sharing pictures with Levon. She was so attentive with him, catering to his every need. Dahn is kind and loving and it comes through tenfold with the animals she takes care of. This was the first time anyone has stayed overnight with Levon and Dahn allowed me to completely relax, knowing he was in such capable hands. If you're trying to find your next dog sitter/dog walker, look no further!!

Heather watched our 11 year old chihuahua mix for two nights while we were away for our wedding. It was our first time leaving Birdie with a sitter and Heather was amazing. She sent lots of photos and updates, and we did a meet & greet before booking so we had time to get to know her before the business of our wedding weekend. When we returned, our house was impeccably clean and Birdie was relaxed and happy to see us. Thank you SO much Heather, we look forward to rebooking in the future!

Naomi did an AMAZING job watching Lasha. She checked in regularly, called if she needed something (including asking permission to have someone visit the house to pick something up), and even left us the most delicious soup. The house was spotless when we returned and Lasha was tired from all the morning playtime he got before Naomi left. Would highly recommend!

About: Hi! I’m Katie :) I’m a freelance environmental communications consultant with time on her hands and a love of all animals. Previously, I worked on farms caring for chickens and goats as well as two dogs! I love the outdoors and will happily take your dog on walks! I grew up with a Beagle and a Beagle-bloodhound mix, and would also pet-sit the next-door neighbor's Beagle and another neighboorhood goldren retriever. When walking or petsitting your dog, I'll make sure to give them lots of attention, active play, and follow your dirctions to the T! I'm more than happy to take photos or videos of your dog for you and will provide updates on how they're doing. Due to my love of animals and nature, 10% of revenue from each booking is donated to Painted Dogs Conservation, a nonprofit protecting the endangered African Painted Dogs in Zimbabwe. I’m currently taking a break from the rat race and have plenty of time of my hands! You tell me how often you need your dog walked or checked-in on and I’ll adjust my schedule to accommodate it :) While taking care of your pet, safety is the Number 1 concern. There will be double checks of leashes, no doors opened unless the dog is secure or faraway from it, and regular communication to you to confirm what is going on with your animal.

This is the second time Beth and Mark have taken care of our 2 pitties Smitty and Henry, and let me tell you they are officially auntie and uncle. They needed no reminder of their schedule. Left our place in perfect condition. Sent all the pictures and details without needing reminders. Even picked them up from our friend’s place (with a bed in the car and everything) to accommodate our urgent travel plans. They’re the best. And cannot recommend them enough. 🥹♥️

About: I’ve had dogs since I was little and have dog-sit for many people in the last 10 years! I absolutely love taking care of pets and allowing people’s minds to be at ease that they are receiving the best care. I currently work remotely from my home, which I share with my partner (who is also a pet lover). I am happy to board your pet in our residence or stay overnight and housesit for you, as well! I will make sure to respect your home and your pets’ schedules to ensure they get the best care while you’re away. Ground rules will be followed to a T. I do tend to spoil most pets I take care of.
