“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Lauren stayed with our dog while we were away for a few days. She is very nice, prompt, and professional. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog. We got back later than we expected due to airline issues and she was very accommodating by staying until we got home. I highly recommend her.”
“Heather was wonderful to have stay with our girls while we were out of the country. One needs a bit more care now and we worried about leaving her.

I felt very comfortable with her staying for the weekend and I couldn't every tell she was there when I got back. She took great care of Taz and sent me pics and updates throughout the weekend. Highly recommend and will book with her again!!!”
About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.
“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”
“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Shannon did a great job taking care of my two older dogs while I was out of town for a few days. I don't leave them very often and was nervous about doing it this time but Shannon's updates and photos were very reassuring. I also appreciated that she went above and beyond to take care of the house. Would definitely recommend and will book again.”
“Pamela was great during an overnight visit with my 2 pups. She communicated regularly, sent updates/pics and the dogs seemed to really like her. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: Grew up in a house with five dogs and two cats, including a few litters of puppies and kittens. Experienced with big dogs, little dogs, and nervous kitties. Available for weekend boards, drop in visits, and walks! Working out of the home, I make sure to give a lot of attention and exercise when I’m home! I live centrally located but also right in the pine bush with a lot of areas to walk and play! Happy with lots of outside moments and comfortable in the car.
“Daniel is always great with Luna and I appreciate all the updates given throughout the day even when he was not feeling very well. Thanks again!!”
About: I primarily took care of my grandparents’ dog when I was a teenager, but have progressed over the years to caring for anyone in my circle’s pets as needs and vacations arise. I grew up in a cat-only household and haven’t had a pet of my own since I was 13 but I like to treat each animal I come across as if it were my own! I work full time during the day on weekdays, however I work remotely on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This allows for me to be in the home with a pet full-time on those days. I also am typically available weeknights and weekends. I treat each home and pet as if they are my own—With the utmost respect and with as much love as I can share! I am truly passionate about spending time with animals and like helping them not be alone in their owner’s absence.
“It was so great to have Joe as a sitter for our pups while we were out of town. He understood that the dogs were not use to being alone over night and was very flexible. We hope to have Joe back in the very near future!”
“Kaylee was very patient with my dog while he warmed up to her and sent me updates each time she came over to take care of him! I would recommend Kaylee to take care of your fur baby.”

This was Merissa’a second time overnight sitting for us. Just like the first time, she was responsive and responsible. Both our pets and our home were well taken care of. I loved receiving lots of updates, photos, and videos while we were away. Merissa is very thoughtful and communicates what she would want to know as a pet parent away from home.
I had such a great experience with Joe! He kept me up to date with how my dog was doing while I was away. He reached out with any questions or concerns that came up. He put my mind at ease knowing my dog would be in good hands while I was gone. Definitely will be booking him again in the future!
Wang took great care of our two pups for multiple days while we were away on vacation. He provided us with multiple photos and updates each day, and asked questions when he wasn’t sure on something. He is a very caring person and was truly so very kind to our dogs. We will use him again in the future, for sure. Totally recommend him for pet/house sitting.
Evan is a very nice young man who cared for my 6-year old dog in my home for 12 days while I was away. My dog has some medical issues and requires up to 3 medications on a regular basis. Being an anxious pet mom, I gave Evan very detailed written instructions and he was appreciative and attentive to them. He had no problems giving my dog her meds as instructed and kept her safe and content throughout my time away. He reassured me about how well she was doing regularly and I came home to a happy dog. Evan clearly loves dogs and exhibits confidence in caring for them.
