“Erika did a great job sitting for our 2 dogs in our home. The dogs liked her, and she seemed to like them.. She sent pictures regularly. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home. Our greyhound, a picky eater, ate all of her meals. We got a full report from Erika at the end of her stay. It was so nice not to worry about our dogs or our home when we were gone for 6 nights.”
“Josh and Anja are an absolute dream to have care for your pets and home. We could confidently travel anywhere in the world knowing our beloved two (a Heinz 57 pitty mix and American Bully) are in their care. Josh is diligent about sending updates and amazing photos that we pour over in delight. Our dogs mean the world to us and finding people who truly care for them and think of them as their own is worth its weight in gold. Thank you both for everything, we just think the world of you both!”
“My Bella loved Ann the moment they met. Ann was responsible, respectful , kind and calm. I will definitely trust and ask Ann to watch my fur baby again when we go away! She was on time and sent me photos and updates. Thank you so much !!”
“Sarah is wonderful and our pets love her! She’s reliable and easy to communicate with. This is the 2nd time we have booked her for in home pet-sitting and we will continue to book Sarah for a of our pet-sitting needs.”
“I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!”
“Lauren recently stayed at our home from Thursday through Sunday to care for our dog, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the start, she was highly communicative and dependable, keeping us updated regularly with thoughtful messages and photos of our dog throughout the day. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such capable and caring hands. We returned to a well-kept home—clean, orderly, and exactly as we left it—which speaks volumes to Lauren’s respect and attention to detail. Most importantly, our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and relaxed. We truly appreciated the level of care and professionalism Lauren brought to the role, and we would gladly welcome her back anytime. Highly recommend!”
“Grace did a great job taking care of our Aussie and Border Collie. She was on time and made sure thye had food and meds on time each day. She sent us pics of both throughout her stay and we couldn't be happier. We will definitely use her again.”
“Sophia does such a great job with my animals! I’ve had her house sit several times now and she always takes such great care of my animals! She is loving and caring to them and spends a lot of time with them. She also leaves my house very clean! I will continue to hire her each time I need somebody. I highly recommend her for anybody needing somebody to core for their animals!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life; dogs, cats, ducks, and more. I love being able to provide a safe and peaceful experience for any type of pet! I’m currently caring for my disabled mom. I have the flexibility and availability to help out any time of day. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or check-ins. I currently have two big dogs, Bubba and Rufus. I’ve had both since they were puppies and have used positive reinforcement training to now have both well socialized and very good boys.
“We were a little nervous, having never used Rover before, about letting a stranger into our home to watch our pups. After meeting Caroline prior to our trip, we knew our dogs and home were in good hands. Caroline was quick to respond to all of our messages prior to and while on our trip. She was amazing and we will definitely use her again.”
“This is the second time we have used Nicole. She is so good with our fur-babies. I use to be so scared to leave them but Nicole has made this process so easy for me now. She is GREAT at handling my Staffie, who is a handful = ) so many needs... She gives medicine, special meals, anything that is a concern, she does. She is so kind, soft spoken and goes over and above what is needed. Our animals are loved on, taken care of, and there is not anything we have to worry about. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter, walker, etc.”
“Meg took great care of our fur baby, Sparky, for a week. Meg was quick to respond, laid back, caring, and easy to work with. I'm sure Sparky would love for her to dog sit again in the future!”
“Goka and her family provided outstanding care for our pup and cats while we were away. They shared daily photos of our pets enjoying playtime and getting love and attention. Goka was incredibly responsive, and we returned home to happy, well-cared-for animals and a delightfully tired pup who clearly had a wonderful time with her new friends. Thank you for the great care!”
About: I’ve had Dogs since I was little. I currently have 2 German Short Haired Pointers which is a very high energy breed dog. With that behind said I’m comfortable and able to care for small to big dogs including high energy fur babies🐾 I’ve also been a Nanny for 4 years and care for toddlers so i’m ready for anything! I’m currently working part time as a nanny while doing college classes online. This allows me to have a flexible schedule to care for your pet(s)! Having owned dogs my whole life i’m comfortable with any care your pet may need. For example, giving dogs medication as my own dog is very stubborn about it.
About: I’ve had pets all my life including farm animals such as a goat and chickens as well as dogs cats ferrets hamsters. I currently do not have pets of my own right now but would love to spoil your pet with love and cuddles. I live in a forest type home with a very large front and backyard for your pups to run around. I go on daily walks around my neighborhood or I can drive to a nearby dog park. If you have any specific questions please feel free to let me know. I will also send updates to you with photos every couple hours or as per requested. I used to work at Petco grooming salon, and For a small additional charge I can trim your dogs nails, brush them daily, or other services.
“Paige was amazing with Paisley! I was so nervous leaving Paisley for a week but Paige made me feel at ease and kept in communication with me the whole time and sent me lots of videos and photos. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future! :)”
