“Tera was amazing. She did a pickup and dropoff at my house and sent me so many pictures. It looked like my dog had fun and I’m sure it was nice to have another doggy playmate as well.”

“Chelsea was absolutely everything my wife and I were looking for in a sitter. We could tell from the moment that we met with Chelsea, that we had made the right decision in choosing her. Our dog Nelly is the very nervous type when she first meets anyone, but Chelsea just had a way about her that relaxed my dog Nelly and my wife at the same time. :-) It is obvious that Chelsea has a true love for animals and really wants to make sure the owners are worry free while she has their pets. We received many updates throughout the day on how Nelly was doing as well as pictures. If you are looking for the best sitter that you can find, look no further because you will not find a better, more compassionate and caring person then her. Thank you Chelsea for taking such good care of our Nelly”

“Marci and her family were wonderful in looking after Parle! To make us feel comfortable, she even invited us to her house beforehand so we can see her backyard and area where Parle would be spending his time. She provided pictures throughout the day to keep us updated. We feel comfortable with Marci. ??”

“Danielle and her whole family were so nice! I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She sent a couple photo updates while we were out and was very easy to schedule with and get in contact with ahead of time. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“This was my Milo's 1st time ever being out of our home & with a stranger. I felt like a bad dog-mom leaving him daily and he wasn't too happy about the notion either. Seeing Eileen's patience & affection toward animals & receiving daily pics & videos of my boy all calmed my quills & assured me he was adjusting well & was in great hands.”

“Zoe would rush up to Michelle’s door excited to spend the day with her. She was safe and I could tell she had a great time. It was such peace of mind knowing she loved being with Michelle and was having a great time while I was working.”


“Donna is such an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time leaving my dog with a dog sitter, so I was a bit nervous but Donna is very thorough and knowledgeable about dog needs. She knows what is normal and abnormal so I felt comfortable leaving him with her. She also has a strategy to minimize stress for the dog during hand off and plays calming music when he first went in the house. I will definitely use her again if I need. She also sends pics which makes me feel reassured.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m calm, patient, and always pay attention to what the dog needs, whether that’s play, rest, or just quiet company. I also keep owners updated so they feel connected and worry-free. This isn’t just a gig for me, I actually care about the pets I watch Currently I have no job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I will make sure your pet has an amazing time I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I keep their feeding, walks, and playtime consistent, and I give them lots of attention so they don’t feel alone. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I stay in touch with regular updates and photos.
“Archie usually takes awhile to warm up to people and can be kind of stand offish until then. However he IMMEDIATELY took to Patricia and her husband, letting them pet his face and going up to them for cuddles. I've never seen him do that before! He loved them right away and they were great! Will def book again”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!
“My dog Link had a wonderful stay! He's young and a little anxious, but Kateri made him feel comfortable and gave him so much love that he was able to have so much fun! She'll take great care of your pet and is attentive to all their needs!”

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! I have been House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own as an adult, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar as possible to their norm.
“Allison took amazing care of Duffy during his doggy daycare! She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates so I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!”
