“Meghan was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pups! They were all very well loved and cared for while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures and updates.”


“Bryan - thank you for going above and beyond with our sump pumps during all the rain! Everything looked great when we returned from our weekend at Steamboat. Our pets were so happy. Thank you!”


“McKenzie was amazing with our crew. Including keeping us up to date on one of our pups who has a medical issue that requires multiple medications and feeding times. It’s especially hard to leave a pet that isn’t feeling well by McKenzie did a great job. My little dog, who is a bit standoff-ish, let her pet her with a few minutes of meeting her. We hope to use her again!”


“My new go-to sitter. Very communicative, responsible, willing to follow directions, respectful of house rules and procedures. Provided lots of updates and flexible with the meet and greet and other scheduling. 6/5 stars. Thanks, Anna!”

“Eddie S. Watched our house and two high spirited large dogs. They loved him and did very well with him. He was very conscientious and communicated well. Sent great photos and put us at ease. Definitely plan to have him care for our dogs again!”


“Kyla was a truly attentive, communicative sitter. She was great with Chico during the meet and greet and asked good questions, leaving me to feel 100% comfortable leaving Chico in her care. She was flexible and gracious with last minute changes, sent updates and pictures while I was away, and left my home very neat after her stay.”


“Chelsea stayed at our house with our cat Rascal for 10 days while we were out of the country. She was a great house guest and Rascal clearly warmed up to her given the photos of him snuggling on her lap. Definitely recommend her services!”


“Averi was great with my fur-babies. I have two senior goldens and a cat who is very cautious. I am always nervous about leaving them with a new person, but she was wonderful. She communicated well before and throughout the stay. I came back from a week, with happy healthy animals, and a tidy home. I would definitely recommend her.”


“Monique was amazing with our dogs! She did an in-house visit to help us with our energetic corgi & our anxious America bulldog. She was super attentive, sent pictures, and most important, made sure our babies were safe and comfortable! I would recommend her to anyone for any of their needs! She is going to be our go to!”

“jasmine did an absolutely wonderful job with my three pups. i have two mini-aussies and an aussie/husky mix, so three high energy and high velcro dogs. she sent me lots of pictures and seemed to really bond with them while i was away. aussies definitely need you to prove that you’re worthy of their trust. i am rather type A about my dogs’ routine and very verbose, but she followed my instructions to a tee and kept me updated throughout the day. i have gps collars that count their steps and sleep. their goal is usually 20k steps. one of my dogs was hitting 60k/day while she was there and i greatly appreciate her putting in the time and energy to make my dogs happy and relaxed. i will definitely be reaching out to jasmine whenever i need a dog sitter.”


“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.

“Emily did an incredible job taking care of our dog Pepper! She was happy to assist us with a last minute house sitting request when the family members who were originally going to watch our dog had to cancel for a personal matter. Even prior to being formally booked, Emily was quick to respond and receptive to the specific needs of our dog. We were able to set up a meet-and-greet between Emily and Pepper a few days before the house sitting, and it was clear that Emily was the right choice - our dog can be hesitant around new people, but she quickly warmed up her new friend. On the day of our departure, Emily arrived early enough for us to hand over our house keys safely and within 5 minutes of us being out the door we had our first update that Pepper was happily cuddling with Emily on our couch. On the following days, Emily provided regular picture & text updates about how our dog was doing and it was clear the two of them were getting along great. We couldn't be happier - thank you!”


“From now on Thane will be the only Rover that I ask to stay with Kipper. She was attentive, communicative, fully engaged, and addressed all of my concerns, needs, and questions. And Kipper loved her.”


“The dogs had a great week! Steven was wonderful with our pups, and especially with our handicapable old man dog. Everything was well taken care of and exactly how we left it which was great to come home to! Thank you!”
