My fur babies had such a great experience! She was incredibly attentive and made sure I stayed updated the whole time with pictures and check-ins. I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!

Jenna is our go-to drop in sitter. She communicates effectively, sends great photos, and always cares for our cats as if we are home. Most recently, we had some issues with a medication delivery and Jenna went and picked up the medication for us and paid for it out of her own pocket. She is excellent as a sitter and I could not recommend her more.

I had a last minute trip out of town and the sitter that I typically use was out of town as well. I took a chance on this lovely couple and they were phenomenal. Not only did they jump into action and take a brand new client last minute, but they did not disappoint. My animals were happy and healthy when I returned home.

Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!

About: Happy New Year!!! I'm so excited to see what 2026 has in store for me and getting to know new furry friends! I am a dog lover and missing interactions with the furry ones! I currently was blessed with a stay-at-home job and would love the opportunity to take care of individual, pets when needed. I'm very flexible and have lots of availability throughout the day to walk, play, and cuddle with the dogs!! I currently work full-time but am remote and have a flexible schedule I can work around what you need! Your pets are always welcome in my home and will be spoiled!!!! I live in a gated community that is very safe. Your pets will never go outside without a leash on and there's lots of area to walk

About: I have 8 pets of my own. 1 Dog (Cane Corso) and 7 cats, I also care for community animals as well. I have always walked my dogs, so I’m used to dog walking not just letting them out in the yard (if that’s what you’re looking for). I have fur-baby sat my friends and neighbors dogs. Most of the time it’s large breeds, like APBT, Akita, Shepherds. I used to have a Belgian Malinios as well, so I am familiar with high energy breeds. In my free time I also help my friend with her mobile pet care business. Since I have my own, I know how important it is to pay attention to the owner’s directions, when pet sitting. I have a full time job, and can do morning drop and evening drop ins. Depends on the days I can do middle of the day as well. It’s all based on your needs, and I would obviously not commit to anything that I can’t follow through with. I prefer a meet and greet with the owner and the pet before the actual service, as I want to make sure the pet is familiar with me, and also that I can follow the exact instructions the owner has for me.

I loved Kiah! Very professional. She sent me a detailed update of how my cat was doing during each of her visits with many pictures to go along with it while I was on my out-of-state vacation. I asked her to bring in mail while I was gone and she gladly did that for me as well! My Nola seemed so happy when she was around and I would definitely rebook with her when I’m not in town again.

Steven was wonderful with my staffy/pitty mix & lil dachsund mix, did a meet & greet, communicated well the whole time & navigated their separation anxiety, very different personalities, and barking neighbor dogs with ease. I was struck by how automatically steven interacted with my smaller dog in a way that helped him feel comfortable with a new person, and indulged my big dog pretending to be a lap dog 😀 thank you! Will book again

There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!
