“Olivia was wonderful! I mistakenly forgot to update my address on the booking but she was super understanding and we worked everything out. She took great care of Ori while I was out of town and I would absolutely book her again + recommend her services to other dog owners.”


“Haley did a great job with Akela. She fed and refilled her water bowl as needed. She played with and chased Akela around the yard. Akela was as happy as can be when I got home!”


“Beau was great! He dropped in to check on our dog when on a trip with friends. I didn’t think she would come out of the crate for a stranger - but wanted someone to at least check on her. She got out of her crate and even went outside with beau!”


“Anvesha has watched our cat, Hazel, several times. She does a fantastic job keeping Hazel happy and fed while we’re away. We’re so grateful that we can leave town with the peace of mind that Hazel will be well cared for until we return!”


“Breckyn was wonderful! She provided us with daily notes and cute photos of our cat, Shakira, while we were away. We’d could tell that Shakira was pleased as well because when we arrived home, she had zero complaints and looked well fed and taken care of. We’d love to be able to use Breckyn again when needed!”


“Took great care of my two skittish cats. She went above and beyond to cover for me making a mistake with my requested dates even though she had a busy schedule.”


“Meghan did a great job with my very-reluctant-to-leave-the-house-with-a-new-person dog. He takes a while to warm up when and trust that he’s not being kidnapped when I’m not around. She was very patient with him and got him out to pee and sat with him outside until it was time to go. I’ll definitely be having her over again and hopefully with time again my dog might venture to the back yard with her :)”


“100% rebooking with you again! Being a first timer with this app I felt so at ease! You did a great job playing with my cats and really appreciated the videos you sent! Thank you so much!”


“Meghan took great care of my miniature schnauzer puppy, and always had an excellent communication. I appreciate all of her help and will definitely book again.”


“Jenna is super personable and very detail oriented. My pups loved her. Felt like a friend just coming in to help take care of the dogs. Has really great energy and very knowledgeable.”


“I felt so comfortable leaving my cat, George, in Michaela’s care. She was communicative, friendly, and followed his care instructions perfectly. Would highly recommend!”


“Kelly is awesome! She shows up on time, sends pics and leaves my puppy happy and tired! When I got home my puppy Luna had the biggest smile on her face and was rolling on her back all night. Makes me feel good, knowing that Luna was getting the love and care she needed! Highly recommended Kelly! I will definitely be using her for our future needs!”


“Lauren was super communicative, went above and beyond to check on Harley, completed a pet report card every visit, and made sure to take photos! Highly recommend booking Lauren as I will be using her in the future!”


“Joseph took care of my dog while I was traveling for the weekend. We did drop in visits and it was great for her to get some love and attention! He sent me detailed updates and lots of pictures.”


“Allison has looked after my cat multiple times, and I couldn’t recommend her more! She always takes good care, sends updates, and makes sure everything is secure before she leaves. It’s such a relief knowing my pet is in safe, while I’m away.”


“Hannah did an AMAZING job checking in on my 8 week old pup and was so communicative! He had only been home with me for a couple days before I had to return to work and her check ins gave me such peace of mind. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”


“Meghan was great and so attentive of our cat Junie. Would absolutely rebook!”


“Helped out super short notice. Took the cutest pics of my fur baby. Would definitely use again!!”


About: Howdy, I have had dogs since I was born and am familiar with dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently have two cats who I love so very much! I would consider myself a dog person. I’m happy to adjust my schedule just need to know when I am needed! I’m more available in the mornings or late afternoons, and always available for a walk. I can offer bathing, giving pills, snuggles, walks/runs, I am familiar with training dogs. I have raised and trained 4 puppies since I was 10 years old.

“Molly was absolutely incredible watching our kitties!! She communicated every single detail to us while she was there and cleaned up some of the messes our kitties made. Definitely going to hire her again in the future ?”

“Mary is absolutely incredible with my dog, Butters. He has stayed with her overnight several times, and I am always at peace knowing he’s being well taken care of. She sends photos, updates, and somehow Butters always comes home with more toys than he left with. We call her “auntie Mary” because I’m 100% sure Butters would go live with her full time if he were given the opportunity! Her communication, caring attitude, and experience and knowledge always make Mary a no-brainer when it comes to hiring help for my baby. Thank you for loving Butters so well, Mary!”
