“Alyssa was amazing! Otis can be a very picky, very eccentric dog; but he seemed perfectly comfortable with Alyssa and even asked for a snuggle in the morning. If he could talk, he’d probably rate her a 10/10. We would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone with a more timid or anxious dog looking for an alternative to boarding, as well as anyone else!”
“Lavinia was amazing! She kept us updated throughout the day and sent pics along the way. If she had any questions she did not hesitate to reach out. She was flexible with our travel plans - we extended our stay by an additional day and she was able to accommodate! She even left the most adorable sketch of our fur babies - it is getting framed and hung on the wall! If my dogs could talk I think they would say they loved being with her!!”
“We just got back from our weekend away and I think our dog wishes Hayley were still here! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for all weekend. Hayley provided us with regular pictures and updates and our house looked like no one was here, even though she stayed all weekend. We truly appreciate Hayley staying with our guy and will plan on using her again in the future!”
“Amber was so great to my dog and to my space while she stayed. I would definitely recommend her to care for your dog!”
“Carla was awesome - calm and flexible, helping us out exactly as we needed during the hectic holidays. Our pooch and our house were in great hands!”
“Skyler is amazing. She was on time, caring, kind, and so sweet with our THREE crazy cats. She was responsible and prompt in meeting times and sent us updates with pictures. We love Skyler and can't wait to use her again!!”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience with Michelle as a sitter for our dog, Darby! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. During Darby's stay, Michelle took her on daily walks, ensuring she got plenty of exercise and fresh air. We loved receiving daily photos that captured Darby's playful spirit and happy moments, giving us peace of mind while we were away. It was evident that Darby received plenty of attention and playtime, as she came home tired and content. Michelle's dedication and warmth truly made a difference, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter for their furry friends! Thank you, Michelle!”
About: I have been working at a dog daycare/boarding facility for over a year now, supervising up to 100 dogs a day. I care for and play with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as give them baths when needed, feeding them meals, and giving needed medications. I have experience with many different kinds of dog behavior to know when they are anxious, scared, or if something is bothering them. Outside of work, I dog sit for family and friends, taking the dogs for walks and adventures so you will always be sure they will be tuckered out by the end of the day. I am currently fostering a dog through K9 Orphans, Mia. She is a sweetheart with severe stranger danger (we are working on it) and I plan on adopting her in the near future. So I have experience with dogs who are reactive toward strangers. Through years of experience working with dogs, I’ve learned no personality is the same. I find it very important to learn what a dog’s specifics needs are and make sure they are met. My job at the daycare is full time and I work shifts that are between 6 and 8 hours (usually late morning through evening). Since I do work later in the day I have plenty of morning time to spend taking care of pets as well as flexibility into watching dogs into the evening as well. Working at a dog daycare I experience everything that comes with working with dogs. I clean up anything you can think of, I understand dog behavior and when they are overwhelmed or anxious, and I know how to handle an aggressive dog. My main priority is to always keep them safe and happy.
“David was wonderful with my dog and cat while we were away for a long weekend! They were well-taken care of and I would definitely book again!”
“Ona is wonderful. We were gone for about 2 weeks and she was wonderful for all our critters including (one large dog with some separation anxiety, one large dog who can be bit of a handful on walks). She communicated with me daily. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our home and beloved pets were in such good hands.”
“John did a terrific job house sitting for us with our dog Ottie. He was responsible and communicative, and kept us well-informed throughout our trip. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Very much appreciate the last minute availability and the good care of my pup Nilla! I would’ve liked more updates on how it was going, but I just get nervous leaving her, especially with new people. Everything in the house was we left it and Nilla was perfectly content when we’re arrived home.”
“Helen was wonderful with our puppy Ayla and treated her like one of her own. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that she’s a dog lover and is fantastic with animals. We would absolutely recommend her to everyone!”
“Daniel was a fabulous dog and house sitter. He went above and beyond in taking great care of my 16 year old spaniel and kept me up to date with reports amd pictures. I’ll be sure to contact him the next time I need help.”
“Nikole takes such great care of my dog and gives me regular updates. She is very reliable. It’s so nice to be able to go away and not have to worry about him! My trip was delayed due to a cancelled flight and Nikole willingly stayed an extra day. I highly recommend her!”
“Emily was amazing! She was very communicative the whole time and sent lots of updates during the stay. It was so nice to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away, and it was even better to come home to happy dogs and a clean house! We would definitely recommend Emily!”
“We recently had Jessica to look after our two dogs. She was wonderful and so attentive. We received quite a few photos which included updates and we knew our dogs were in great hands. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their fur babies!!!”
“Morgan took exception care of my senior Pug, Hazel. She sent photos, videos, and updates daily while I was out of town, and I could see how much Hazel enjoyed her time with Morgan!”
“Suzanne did a really great job watching my pup! She met with me a couple of times before my trip, was patient with my anxious dog, followed instructions, took lots of notes, sent me great photos and updates, and left the house very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend her!”
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”

Another great visit from Jamie! It’s comforting to know our animals are well taken care of while we’re away! Can’t recommend Jamie enough!!
Carla took great care of our dogs again! Great communication and was very helpful and flexible- she stayed an extra night with our dogs when our flight got delayed at the last minute. Thanks Carla!
Daniel was excellent! He was a great communicator, sent regular pictures and updates, and our dog seemed in great spirits when we returned. He also was very considerate when staying in our home (stripped the bed without being asked to do so, used the kitchen but kept it very clean, etc). Would recommend his care for your animals.
Anna has been an amazing dog sitter for us more than once! She is responsive and sends many pictures. Our animals are calm and excited to see her. She watched our pets few multiple days in our home and left our home clean - even helped with our plants while we were away. I would highly recommend Anna!!
Morgan was amazing. She went above and beyond for both Riley and Miranda with love, affection and care and was exceptional with communicating and photos. We will absolutely be hiring her again and highly recommend!!
Emily went above and beyond in caring for our pets! She frequently communicated and sent pics. The animals looked well loved and happy giving us peace of mind. She also took care of unexpected problems with our pool and home without worrying us about it until she had found solutions to keep our stress low. She is the best!
Annaliese made an initial visit with Chester to get to know him. Chester is 14 and has mobility issues so we talked about his requirements while we were away for about six hours. We were impressed with her approach to Chester - he's sometimes protective when visitors come into the house. They got along great! It turned out we had to cancel our plans so we didn't need a sitter. However, I wouldn't hesitate having Annaliese as a pet sitter.
Joey was wonderful. He met with us the day before for a Greet & Meet. He arrived promptly on both days and was very experienced & well-prepared to take care of our Senior. Joey was very detailed about Rufus's care plan and asked lots of good questions. He sent plenty of beautiful photos and updates during the day. Joey was able to use positive reinforcement (treats and positive praise) to wean him off his belly band. This was incredibly helpful as we have been able to continue without it.
I have booked Emalee for overnight dog sitting a number of times now. She is my go to when I am out of town and I want to rest easy knowing my pup is well cared for when I am gone. Thank you for treating her like one of your own. Not to mention the updates are so reassuring to get. Emalee is so respectful of the house and the space going above and beyond to make sure things are left tidy!!
Rohila was super responsive and great with our dog, who unexpectedly got really upset we were gone and ended up being a handful. The cats--even our normally super shy and nervous one--seemed calm and happy when we got back. And I couldn't even tell someone had been staying in our house. Thanks so much for everything, Rohila!
Helen was wonderful with our puppy Ayla and treated her like one of her own. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that she’s a dog lover and is fantastic with animals. We would absolutely recommend her to everyone!
Kelsey is amazing! Our flight got delayed while she was house sitting and she stayed extra and even gave our pup a bath when he ran through the mud that morning. Thank you Kelsey!!
Melaney was great!! Stayed overnight with our family 3 dogs & kitty while we went to a concert. She kept us updated and sent pics & the animals all really enjoyed their time with her!
Paris was great with our dogs! They spent time outside and snuggling and the dogs seemed happy when we got home. Paris paid attention to the instructions that were left regarding medication administration, etc.
Jackie was such a wonderful sitter!! She took great care of my dog and my home while I was away. I’ll definitely be scheduling with her again.
Kiera did everything I expected and more. She contacted me every other day with pictures and updates. My dog looked so happy! I would definitely contact her again for service.
