Barb exceeded every expectation. She was polite, professional, and communicative. I had no concerns that our pet was well taken care of in our absence. I recommend her without hesitation.

Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She kept our home incredibly clean — you would have never known anyone had stayed here. She was very communicative throughout the entire time, sending multiple updates and pictures each day, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is friendly, professional, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter!

Sara was exceptional. She spent so much time and effort kissing and snuggling and just hanging in the yard with my babies that even my skittish Salty fell in love with her and kissed her to death. Couldn’t recommend Sara more highly.

Alyssa went above and beyond! Alyssa was great and was in contact when our one dog had an upset tummy. Took such great care of the boys and had the house looking better than when we left it. Will definitely book with Alyssa again!

Erin was terrific!!!! She went out of her way to provide excellent care and attention to our 2 dogs. Both of our dogs are getting up there in age and one of them requires multiple medications which Erin took care of on a daily basis. She provided great communication and our home was well taken care of too. I highly recommend Erin as a pet sitter and would gladly use her services again!

Where do I begin??! Rosie & I are so lucky to have found Haley. Rosie is a senior lady and comes with many quirks. Haley has gone above and beyond with understanding Rosie’s needs but also finding quick solutions to anything that may occur. I live in an apt complex and the elevator has had issues multiple times. Rosie cannot do stairs well and Haley was kind enough to take her to her own home with a better living situation for Rosie until they were back in service. Caring for a senior dog isn’t easy and Haley has time and time again known what to do to make every situation the absolute best for Rosie. I leave for every trip with peace of mind knowing she is with Haley. There are not enough words to describe how amazing that feels! We love Haley!

Jackie was amazing with our dog, Kiwi! She was super flexible with our schedule, even when we changed it three times. Kiwi took to her right away, which was such a relief. Jackie sent us adorable pictures, giving us peace of mind that Kiwi was having a great time. She played with, walked, and fed Kiwi, really going the extra mile. I can't recommend Jackie enough for anyone looking for a dog sitter! We definitely plan to reach out to her for our next pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Jackie!!

Amazing with our Alaskan Malamute who tends to have separation anxiety and is very needy/snuggly. She gave her lots of attention and pretty sure our malamute had a better “vacation” than us away from our 2yr old and with all attention on her! Our outdoor cat was also treated wonderfully as well. Highly recommend Olivia.

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the trusted human servant of many adorable dogs and cats! I have experience caring for both small and large dogs, including overnight stays where I make sure pets feel safe, loved, entertained, and spoiled with attention while their humans are away. Whether it’s long walks, couch cuddles, playtime, belly rubs, or keeping up with their normal routines, I’m happy to give pets all the love and companionship they deserve. I work a full time hybrid job that allows me to spend half days at home daily, so I have the flexibility to check in on fur friends and your home at any time! I currently work full time but hybrid so I have the flexibility to stay home with furry friends and provide the care they need most! I always prioritize pet safety by maintaining a clean, calm environments, following routines carefully, securing doors and leashes, and giving every pet attentive, loving supervision.

About: Loving and caring for my pets as well as those of others’ has been such a joy in my life and I offer that same love, care and attention to your best friends! Whether you need overnight stays or drop-in services, I’d love to meet your fur babies and keep them happy, healthy and safe until their best friends return. I’m currently retired and am very flexible time-wise. I’m available any day of the week, as overnight stays, or everyday of the week from 7-9ish. I currently have two golden retrievers and a fenced in yard but find that most dogs, and all cats, prefer their own surroundings so am willing and able to come to you home and take care of them.
