“Mitch always does such a great job with Georgia and I can tell she is well taken care of with him. Thanks to Mitch as well for his flexibility when we had to adapt our plans from a major snowstorm!”


“Ryan was very professional and took good care of the pups. His communication was prompt and clear. He stayed in our house and watched our three dogs. Took good care of the house as well”


“Christina was able to watch our two dogs and cat in our home while we were away. Since we got our second dog, who is a slightly terrifying and traumatized rescue dog, we have interviewed 5 potential dog sitters. Christina was the first one that I felt comfortable booking to watch our dogs. She is calm and confident and was a great match for our difficult but beloved rescue.”


“Devon was an amazing dog sitter and I would highly recommend him to everyone! He was very thoughtful and asked good questions during our meet and greet, kept us informed during our trip, took great care of Bailey while we were away, and left our house in excellent condition! Devon is very kind and clearly loves dogs/animals! You can rest easy that your pups are in good hands with him.”


“Andrea was great! The house was left in prestige condition, she was very considerate of our home. She was very kind to our pets and took great care of them. Our dog had an accident and she took care of it completely and even did a store run to restock on some things our dog needed.”


“I cannot say enough good things about Kevin. When we did our 1st meet & greet Louie can be over-protective of me especially when it comes to men specifically. Louie did not even bark, he immediately accepted Kevin who has a very calming, chill vibe with my dogo. We had to take an 8-day trip out. of town, and Kevin was responsible, and caring towards my 11-year Chocolate Lab. He was a pleasure to work with and we are booking him again, he even was willing to pick. us up at DIA when our plane came in. I highly recommend Kevin for all your petsitting needs he truly connected with Louie and there is something to be said about that. So happy we found him!”


“What to say, we love having Alina to stay💕She’s the most responsible, reliable, and respectful sitter we’ve had. She takes care of our girls and gives them so much love. Our house is always taken well care of when we return. She adheres to our requests with regards to the girls care. Her communication is top notch and she is just an all around kind person. We appreciate her soooooo much!!”

“I'm so glad we found Keaton to watch our pups! He is kind, responsible, considerate and a great communicator. Plus our pups loved having him around. Our place was left in perfect condition. I would recommend him to anyone and we will definitely use him again in the future.”


“Heather was fantastic! Complete pro - sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. Definitely could feel the animal love from her and will absolutely book her again!!”


About: Experienced with all ages! I’ve raised playful puppies and cared for senior dogs with medical needs. Adaptable to meet the needs of your specific fur baby. I work from home most of the week with a flexible schedule, and I can even bring dogs to my office in the county as needed. As an active person, your pet will enjoy plenty of outdoor playtime and adventures to keep them happy and healthy I provide attentive, loving care for pets in both my home and yours. I’m respectful of the routines and preferences each owner has for their animals, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I also maintain a clean and tidy space, so you can trust your home (or mine!) will always be well cared for.

“Bella stayed in our home while taking care of our doggo, Lemon. Bella not only did an amazing job with Lemon, but she left my home in great condition too. She also took the time to check in with me daily with photos and updates. When we arrived back home Lemon was fully relaxed and happy. I could tell she had a really good time with Bella. We will definitely be using Bella as our main sitter from now on. I could not recommend her services enough!”



“Josie was the absolute best. She was a very thoughtful communicator and truly went above and beyond - giving the pups a bath and leaving my house cleaner than she found it. I know they got lots of love and attention while I was out of town and I didn’t have to worry at all. ?”

About: I've lived most of my life with dogs and cats in addition to sundry other animals from tortoises to tarantulas. I am particularly fond of all dogs which is why my wife and I have fostered nearly a dozen rescue and foster dogs/puppies over the last 8 years. Along with raising two high energy Australian shepherds from puppies, I have had plenty of experience handling medium to large size dogs that can be reactive or fearful under certain situations or are simply a handful. Having worked with a lot of dogs I know they all have their own unique personalities and challenges and understand the importance of flexibly adjusting care strategies. I work from home ~2 days per week and when house sitting will remain with your pet during the day. I generally do long walks in the mornings before work and after. Dog walks or short visits during the day can be arranged as long as they are done so well in advance. I have two relatively high energy dogs who need a lot of attention. Generally, I take them to an open fenced in space in the mornings to play fetch then go for a walk. We then go for a shorter walk in the evenings. We have a small fenced garden that we let them out in to do their business when they need to 2-3 times per day. As our dogs have gotten older and more mellow/better behaved we've relaxed a number of rules such going on furniture or sleeping in our room at night.

About: I have taken care of so many different animals I've lost track. While growing up we had dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, a turtle, along with a dove and a few pigeons over the years. There has never been a time in my life where I haven't been around animals in my own home. I grew up with big dogs. I had a german shepherd and a boxer growing up so I am very comfortable around big dogs. We always had cats and now I have two of my own. My mom was a dog trainer and has taught me almost everything I know but I continue to expand my knowledge and love of training dogs and learning new things. I worked with horses for 8 years and now continue to ride and learn everything I possibly can. I have four wonderful animals two pups and two cats one who is 9 and the other who isn't even a year old. My two pups just turned a year old and are quite the handful they are very high energy and very smart so we have to get creative with enrichment but it's so much fun. With my pups and cats they get daily enrichment in many different forms weather that be puzzles, training sessions, or even a cardboard box with paper and treats scattered inside we are always trying new things to keep them entertained so if your dog or cat is looking for enrichment I love finding new ways to keep pups and cats using their brains.

About: I've token care of animals for a long time know and i'm very responsible and caring I have pets of my own so I have good experience im usually free all the time just give a heads up 2 days before so I can have it planned during the day works evening works I have an unfenced yard and three cats to keep company i make sure my pets are fed and taken care of and i'm very responsible with pets
