3. Tarik E.

“Ty provided exceptional care for our dogs, demonstrating genuine love and understanding of their needs. His regular updates and photos helped ease our worries while we were away. Knowing that both our high-energy and reactive dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their time with him is invaluable. Will definitely be booking with Ty again!”

About: Updated 01/26/2025 Hello pet parents, a little about myself and home: I am a stay at home mother of a 5 year old. Our house sits on a larger corner lot with a large fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs with a need to stretch their legs. The majority of the time we are home to care for your pup/kittens needs and I am pretty open to whatever schedule you need provided I am given some notice if anything changes. I have 2 cats that will never meet your pet, we have the gated living room and the cats have their area blocked off. We have currently 1 unexpected addition to our family and that is a little Yorkie mixed pup that we found late last year in November. She is very sweet and is actually very good around cats as well. Pet sitting is my full time job which lets me spend as much time at home with your pup or cat throughout the time they stay. Our living room is kept mostly empty save for our sectional and it is gated off from the rest of the home, this is to help keep any messes to one room and helps keep any chewers from getting into something that could make them sick. The living room has a door to the backyard which is fully fenced and has enough room to zoom around and explore. There are no daily walks, but any toy you bring can be enjoyed outside with your pet for proper exercise and energy burning, this ensures no running into any outside dangers while in our care. Food is not provided, what they eat is what you provide for them normally every day. If you have canned food that will need to be covered please bring a cover for it to stay fresh for your pet when refrigerated.


7. Katelyn D.


“Katelyn D was a great find for our furry baby . Originally we were looking for someone to take our dog out few times in 24 hours. Ketelyn offered to stop buy our place day before. She introduced herself, met our dog and made such positive impression that we decided to change our request and hire her for home stay. That was great decision. During Katelyn’s stay at our place she took great care of our dog. She took him out , gave him food played with him and supplied us with photo updates . Communication was great and easy. We are planning to keep Katelyn on recurrent booking for our dog as well we will recommend her services to our friends and family members with pets. A+ service as well as 5* review is well deserved.”


8. Trinity T.

“Trinity was amazing, both with us in communication and with our 2 Labradoodles. They loved her, and she took care of them like they were her own. She followed our instructions perfectly, and asked questions when she needed to. We came home to a clean house and happy boys. Will definitely plan on using her again.”




9. Norma S.

“Norma was a super sitter! She juggled my high energy, easily excitable two-year-old, on Halloween, while passing out candy to all the trick-or-treaters. Sparky got his exercise, plenty of potty breaks, and was fed. I came home to a happy dog.”


10. Meron B.

“Meron was great with my fur baby! I was able to travel worry free.”


11. Kai J.
“Kai is amazing with animals—so loving, gentle, and responsible. She treats every pet like family and always goes the extra mile to make them feel safe and happy. Highly recommend her!”


12. Kimberly R.
“To whom it may concern, Miss.Kim is a wonderful dog caring person on days I had to work or vacation not even just that if I’m not feeling well I could trust her with my dogs to care for them like how I do. She will make sure everything is very much okay before leaving my home while caring for my dogs she is such a wonderful person inside and out if I could I would move back closer to her just for her to care sit my babies (dogs) I know they enjoy every moment and sec with her thanks Kim for being a great person that you are with humans and dogs.”

“Catherine was responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. She sent daily updates of Toby that let me know he was doing well. When I got back from my trip, I could tell he’d had a good time and been in great hands.? I’d definitely love to have Catherine spend time with Toby again. ?”


15. Cy L.

“Thank you for the extras. You made us very comfortable while we were away.”


16. Gina C.

“Gina was an excellent pet sitter, I can’t rave about her enough!! She went out of her way to accommodate me and my husband. I was due to deliver my baby within a few weeks when I had reached out to her. She was very flexible and was able to work with us given I had to be induced earlier than expected and had to stay in the hospital more days than expected. She took great care of our 3 boys- a Great Dane and 2 Lhasa apso’s. She was able to work with their special needs and administer oral and eye medications to one of them.”


17. Izza R.
“Izza has watched my pup Zero many times. He is a senior husky/border collie so he can be a little much. Izza has always loved him like her own when she watches him. She has in-house pup sat for me and in her home as well. He loves visiting with her! She loves to take him for walks and out to dog parks too! She's great with him and he's always excited to see her when she comes. I highly recommend her!”


18. Alexis C.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 11. I’ve had three different pets, all of whom have lived to old age and had incredible health. I’ve also served as a dog sitter for neighbors, family, and friends. I’m an avid hiker and runner, which means that your dog will have no problem having someone to keep them active. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available on weekdays after 6 PM, and I also offer dog sitting on weekends. I start my day early—usually around 6 AM—so I’m happy to take your dog on a morning jog or walk, as well as another walk in the evening. Right now, I’m on summer break, which means my schedule is much more flexible, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day as needed. If I’m in the client’s home, I respect their space, follow their guidelines closely, and maintain open communication. I provide updates and photos to build trust and reassure owners that their pets are happy and safe. Whether feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I handle every task with care and attention to detail.

“Angela will do her best to take care of your animal and give them her personal attention. She has many years experience taking care of pets.”


20. Melanie M.
“Melanie was an amazing caregiver for my two dogs. I have poodles; their hair can get out of control and matted when not brushed. When I asked Mel to watch my dogs, she brushed my dogs very thoroughly. She is very loving and attentive to the dogs and, overall, a wonderful person. There is no one I trust more with my pets.”
