“5 stars! Very communicative and was sure to clarify any questions she had to ensure a great stay for our pets. Our anxious dog quickly took to her, showing us she knew how to handle even a giant dog who’s unsure of most humans. We highly recommend Taylor and hope she can continue to help us in the future!!”

“Hana was superb for our short notice overnighter. She was on time, communicative, and I would never have even known she was at the house. We will definitely be keeping her in mind in the future!”

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Brandi. She’s definitely spoiled, and her irregular eating habits are just part of her missing us—it’s nothing to do with you. Once again, thank you so much for taking care of Brandi. It truly means a lot to me!”


“Got it! Here’s a warm, personal version that really captures Nadia’s heart and care without being too formal: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nadia was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! From the moment we met, I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and cared for while I was away. I came home to relaxed pups and a home that felt even better than when I left it. It’s clear she puts so much love and thought into what she does, and I’m so grateful to have found her.”

“Ethan did a great job dog sitting! Our dog reacts to other dogs and he was calm with her and handled her very well. He kept in touch and sent pictures and updates. We came home after a long stay of about 11 days away to a happy and healthy dog. Would highly recommend Ethan!”

“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”

About: Animals are a special interest of mine and I’m hoping to eventually study to become a veterinarian one day! I own 4 pets, 3 being rescues who I love dearly. I currently have a flexible schedule and have plenty of time to engage and play with your pets! Feel free to reach out to me for any questions or concerns as needed. I maintain a routine with my animals with feedings and walks (dog), and also include play time to ensure they are getting attention in addition to care. I follow a similar routine when caring for others’ pets while also following whatever special instructions are required.
“Michelle was wonderful to work with and was extremely professional and flexible in accepting a last minute booking. She kept us updated throughout our stay and took great care of our pup. We’d absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone needing pet care!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience as a dog owner of two rescue dogs for over 14 years. During this time, I've developed a strong bond with my pets through regular walking, playing fetch, and training them in basic commands. This hands-on experience has taught me how to care for dogs of various personalities and needs, and I’m particularly comfortable working with rescue dogs. Whether it's providing exercise, companionship, or reinforcement of positive behavior, I bring patience and consistency to every sitting experience. Mom of two kids, looking to help families with their pups during the time my kids are in school and evenings with the help of my husband. I maintain a routine that includes regular walks, playtime, and time for training or simply cuddling, depending on the pet’s preferences. In a client’s home, I follow any specific instructions provided to ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent. I focus on providing companionship, meeting exercise needs, and maintaining familiar surroundings to minimize stress. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or giving extra attention to pets with special needs, I take pride in offering tailored care for each pet's unique requirements.
“Tiffany was fantastic with my pets for overnights. She sent pictures and made sure everything was taken care of. She always contacted me if she had any questions. Highly recommend!”

“Abby is an incredible sitter! My fiancé and I wanted to find a sitter who genuinely loves animals and would care for our babies the way we do- Abby was the perfect fit. She is kind, gentle, and easy to communicate with. Our cats immediately gravitated towards her. They trusted her, and so did we. If you want peace of mind that your babies are being loved and cared for while you’re away, Abby is the way to go! We will absolutely be calling on her to sit for us again in the future. :)”

“Natyah is wonderful! We were nervous about leaving our three dogs for 5 days but I do not think we could have asked for someone better to watch them and care for them. We have 2 high energy German Shorthaired Pointers that are going to be 2 at the end of March (for anyone with high-energy dogs, you know what I am talking about when I say that they are a handful). She took such great care of them, sending pictures all day. She even worked with them on training with the things we are working on. We also have an 8 year old yorkie which she made sure got the attention he needed being in a house with two crazies! In addition to taking great care of the pups, she tookd care of the house and left it cleaner than when we left. 100% would recommend her! And will definitely be rebooking her (and already have)!”
