“We loved having Tiffany as our house sitter while on vacation this past week! She is always so attentive to our pups and makes a huge effort to care for them when we are gone. I love when she texts us pictures to show how they are doing. We love Tiffany!”

“Deborah was great! Our dogs were happy, especially our one with separation anxiety. She was able to accommodate a change that included administering different antibiotics to our two dogs. Communication was good.”
3. Russ & Karen W.

7. Taylor C.
“Taylor did a nice job helping us out on a short-fused request. She stayed overnight with our 2 dogs, fed them on time, and took them for good walks. She also kept in good communications with me and sent plenty of pics. A good sitter when you need someone to watch your home and pets simultaneously.”
8. Cassandra L.
“Cassandra housesat during our time away during the holidays and looked after our dog. She was wonderful and made sure our dog was comfortable during our time away. She was reliable and kept us informed of our dog with daily messages/photos. Knowing that our dog was taken care of, in his own environment and being treated so well made our time away much easier. We definitely recommend Cassandra and would ask her to help us again.”

So i know what it feels like trusting someone to take care of your pets. I will provide and be communicative throughout the care.

My weekends are free consistently and I'm always happy to communicate on what schedule works best for both parties. I am more then happy to care for your pet. I have a fenced back yard and in my community i have a dog park perfect for walking your pet in a safe environment.

At client's home providing care will be done regarding instructions you assign. Communication is key in my work so as long as you let me know any changes or request i am happy to follow.

11. Natyah S.
“Nathan was wonderful! We went away for a wedding this weekend and she updated me on everything from the stay with our five fluffy babies. We couldn’t have left them with anyone better!”
12. Jordyn R.
“Jordyn was absolutely fantastic! She took such great care of Ruby. She sent tons of picture and a video of her playing as well. We will definitely have her watch Ruby again”
13. Herman S.
“Herman is exceptional! He took wonderful care of my four-legged kids and my home. Everything was well looked after, and he kept me updated with pictures and excellent communication. I will definitely use his services again—he's my go-to from now on!”
14. Kelly L.
“By far the best dog sitter I have ever had! Kelly was communicative and flexible with us when our return flight home almost got cancelled due to bad weather and was delayed multiple times. She got my dogs a couple of toys and even did a quick clean up of our house which was so kind of her to do! If you need a dog sitter and are reading this review, you would be so lucky to have Kelly puppysit for you! Thanks again for everything, Kelly!”
15. Brandi P.
“Brandi was a life-saver. She was willing to, with no notice, take over after a horrible sitter experience which needed immediate action/replacement services. She was responsive and went the extra mile to get into my house and then retrieve the key from the originally hired “sitter.” Knowing she was there and following through on our agreements let me relax for the rest of my trip.”
16. Brooke N.
“Brooke was excellent when i had an emergency come up and she was able to look after my dogs. She not only let them out she also interacted with them and played with them the entire time that she was looking after them.”
17. Douglas J.
“I can not recommend Douglas enough! Right before we had to leave, we had to go to the vet and was prescribed way more meds than normal and he did it all perfectly. Not only did he take the best care of my pup, he sent photos and updates and also made sure our home was spotless!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
18. Katey Z.
“Katey is a super star sitter! We recently moved to the area and this was our first trip here without bringing our dog, Bogey. Katey is quick to respond and kept our mind at these the whole process. We me up a few days before to introduce our dog to her and he went right up and sat at her feet. She consistently checked on him for long periods for our “house sitting” style request. Our minds were at ease the whole time especially when she sent pictures throughout the day of their walks and just him laying across her lap. We would definitely recommend Katey and look forward to having her watch Bogey again.”
19. Stephanie V.
“Love having Stephanie to look after my baby Tuna. She is so communicative, sending updates and photos which makes me feel so comfortable that tunas in great hands.”
20. Jaenell A.
“I have had many friends look after my dog and also seen how they are with their dogs but none compare to the way Jaenell has expressed her love for animals especially dogs. It is clear she has had personal experience with multiple types of dogs as well. Although I have only heard how she felt about her dog that passed away, just getting a glimpse of how passionate she is about dogs and how much she truly cares about their health and the way they're treated, I cannot imagine how happy and loved her dog was. She was the first person to notice when something was off with my dog the day before I took him to the hospital and for his possible osteoarthritis (undiagnosed yet). Jaenell is very quick to notice and pays a lot of attention to detail through her love yet also gives as much as affection and whatever is needed for the dog. She is both the mom and dad and consists of all the qualities an amazing dog owner and trainer has; any dog that undergoes her care will be cherished and taken very well care of. I highly recommend!”
