“Jordan did a great job with our kitty! She was very prompt, followed all of the instructions left for Ruthie wonderfully, and did an excellent job communicating. She even sent the cutest pictures of our very pleased cat who was insisting on more pets and cuddles. I was very confident that our cat and home were in good, reliable hands. Jordan was thoughtful, professional, and showed a really kind heart for animals. Will be hiring again!”


“We had a great experience with Summer! She came to our home for an hour to walk, feed, and spend some playtime with our dog - and everything went perfectly. She arrived on time, followed all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter :-)”


“Johnny truly goes above and beyond for your pet and the whole family. He is the best sitter we have ever had by far, there is no comparison. He pays attention to detail and truly does the best job.”


“As always, Emma was fantastic with my girls. She went above and beyond when Snap and Pompom broke something (100% my fault) and made sure it was well cleaned so they wouldn't get glass in their paws.”


“Very organized and constantly kept me updated and made me feel like my old girl was well taken care of and happy while I was away! Will definitely be using again and can definitely recommend for anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur-baby”


“Danni is a fantastic pet sitter! She pays attention to detail and did a great job of giving my pet all the attention and love she needed while I was away. I could not recommend her enough!!”


“Olivia was super friendly and accommodating. My pets loved her and she sent several pictures daily to keep me updated. Followed all instructions perfectly and it allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were well taken care of.”


“Mia did a fantastic job caring for our two pups while we were on vacation. She was on top of all their needs and provided great updates to ease our minds! Will definitely be re booking, thank you Mia!”


“Amanda did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Zoey while we were out of town. She met with her before we left and Zoey loved her. We would definitely recommend her.”


“Jenna and Caroline are truly amazing with your fur babies!!! As someone who has two high energy pit mixes, it can be a bit nerve racking trying to find someone who not only has experience with the breed, but truly understands them. During our meet and greet it was immediately obvious that these two knew what they were doing and how to handle Stark and Sansa. Both of my pups were well taken care of and I am beyond thankful for the level of care they received. Will definitely be booking again!”


About: I've owned two dogs and a cat for the past 17 years. Unfortunately we're a pet free family at the moment so we're eager to fill the void while we take our time to find the right dog to add to our family. We do have a small child who will be at home some days and all nights/weekends, but she loves animals and plays very gently. Making sure you feel comfortable while you're away is something I strive for. I can guarantee a picture and status update at least daily so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands and is living it up! Last thing to note is that I am active and plan on being active with your pet. If your dog likes/needs walks, I'll make sure they get out and about and have plenty of opportunity to burn off some energy. I work from home and have limited engagements during the day, so the majority of the time I'll be here hanging out with your pet. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run and play. I've got a young daughter who may also be around during the day, and will be around in the evenings and on the weekends. We live in a nice walkable neighborhood and I like to get out and walk, so I'll make sure your pet(s) have plenty of exercise and attention.

“Excellent experience with Amanda. Timely in responses, communicative about her visits with our cat, and provided plenty of photos and updates through the trip. Very good service and is an instant re-book for us when we have future trips. :)”


“Mary was AMAZING! She was able to fit me in last minute, was extremely responsive, on time, and took amazing care of my pets. We will be using her for any future drop ins!”



“I never worry about my furbabies when Raquel is coming over in my absence. When I return, they are always so happy and content. With the pictures she shares with me, I can tell, they have an amazing time with her. Thank you Raquel!”


“Our pups love having Rylie visit during the day. It’s such a big help when we need extra support for long work weeks. She is kind, conscientious and dependable. Love having her do drop ins for us!”


About: I’m a full time firefighter with a real passion for animals! I’ve made a commitment not only to the community I serve but also a commitment to your animals happiness! I have a house that’s 1500 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and one of the rooms is dedicated for a cat oasis. I’m committed to personalized attention, consideration and peace of mind. My schedule is extremely flexible since I only work 8 days a month so my availability is open! With advanced notice I can make any schedule work I prioritize safety with supervised play areas, constant monitoring, regularly cleaning to ensure a secure and hygienic environment. With emergency preparedness protocols in place, including access to veterinary care, I provide peace of mind for pet owners.

About: My husband and I have a puppy ourselves; we've been through the rough with trying to find a boarding house we trust our fur-baby with while we've gone on vacation. Trust that with us, your pup will be taken care of and have all the cuddles and tummy rubs while having a friend to play with while your away! We are only a call away, if needed reassurance as well... We are available most weekends, Friday we both work until 5 PM but Saturday and Sunday I am home all day. I can be open to weekdays if absolutely needed but know I work Monday-Friday from 9 AM-5 PM. My husband and I are both 27 years old with no children at the moment so we are keeping ourselves busy with all the animals. We love dog's and dog's love us, sometimes I swear Anthony(my husband) is a dog whisperer... I have a fenced yard and one friendly golden retriever to keep your fur-baby occupied. I am at home most weekends which means I am available to go for walks, and play in the yard. If you prefer, I can also crate your pet at night or whatever your preference is. We love interactive play in our household, as well as downtime. We like to keep our pup busy with toys that she inevitably destroys, but also interactive toys like sniff pads and rope pulls. About the sitter: My name is Eliza and my husband's name is Anthony. We met years ago now through friends and have been inseparable since! I'm 27 years old, and Anthony is right around the corner. We've decided to wait for kids, so our perfect weekend is surrounded by all the animals. We love dog's and cat's too! I plan on getting a kitty soon, we're just waiting until the right moment. We just bought our first home, and we couldn't be happier. It is a 2 bedroom with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play. It also has a fenced in backyard, which is a huge deal with pets that like to run around crazy. About Daisy: Our puppy is only 2 years old as of right now. She is a ball of energy and that is the best way I can describe her! We knew we were going to get a golden retriever before we even moved in with one another. So it was just about finding the right one for us, and as soon as we saw her I knew. She is so interesting and has the biggest personality. Daisy is so sassy and is not afraid to show you. She's doing so good with her training, but still has some ways to go. We are so excited to meet and take care of your family member as you need. Your pet's home away from home! :)

Timothy L.
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my Cockapoo, Charlie Bravo, in Tim’s care—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, Tim was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Charlie took to him right away, which immediately put me at ease. Tim kept me updated with sweet photos and messages throughout the stay, which made it so much easier to be away. It was clear that Charlie wasn’t just being watched—he was being genuinely cared for and loved. When I picked Charlie up, he was happy, relaxed, and had clearly had a great time. Tim truly went above and beyond, and I felt completely confident knowing Charlie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and attentive dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
