Anna took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We have one dog that doesn't always love people right away but warmed up to her immediately when they met!

Africa did amazing with our little boy. He has big separation anxiety. She was patient, kind, and provided several updates throughout the day. Aside from family members she is the only other person we trust with our dog. Will definitely be using her services again!

Claudia is truly exceptional! This was our second time having her care for our four dogs, and she continues to amaze us with each visit. Over Thanksgiving week, she cared for three elderly dogs with gentle attentiveness and one rambunctious four‑year‑old “teenager” pup who is endlessly active and seeking adventures. Her adaptability in balancing the needs of senior dogs with the energy of a high‑spirited youngster was remarkable — each received the perfect mix of patience, play, and love, making us feel completely at ease while away. Not only did she keep the dogs happy and well‑cared‑for, but she went above and beyond in every detail. We returned to a beautifully clean and tidy home — honestly better than when we left it. Her reliability, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile make her an absolute treasure. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.

About: Hi! I’m your pet’s new favorite human 😉 and a reliable animal lover who loves keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I grew up with cats and dogs and have become the go-to sitter for friends and family when they travel. I’m happy to care for pets based on their personalities—whether that’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like part of my own pack (or clowder 🐾). I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and open availability, including weekends and holidays, and I’m an early bird, so morning feedings, walks, and check-ins are no problem. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and provide consistent attention, care, and companionship to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I follow their routine closely to create a calm, loving environment. I’m also tidy and respectful of your home, keeping things clean and organized while caring for your furry friend. 🐾

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs all my life and have become some of my best friends. I will take care of your fur baby as my own when you are away. I am a fresh grad out of PTA school and currently studying for my board exam. I am available most days and try to accommodate needs around my schedule. Working with animals has always brought me peace and I hope my help can bring you peace knowing you left them in good hands :) I will walk and play with your pet as much as they need. I will also respect their boundary when they need a nap or just play on their own.

About: Along side owning my own two dogs, I have fostered and cared for a handful of dogs ranging from seniors to puppies. I find pet care very fulfilling and aim to support my local community through animal care. I currently have a part-time job at a local cafe and in my off times would love to swing by and care for animals, or sit overnight aswell. I love anything from showering a dog with playtime and pets to just chilling around the house. I find being around animals very calming and have lots of love to give them.

Kathryn was amazing with our senior Golden over the Holiday break. She even took the initiative to research and purchase some doggie socks and hot spot medicine for a hot spot on her foot we have been trying to get rid of. Our neighbor even ran into Kathryn on a walk and couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful she was and wanted her number for her pups. I’m so thankful I found someone I trust and feel so comfortable with in my home with my Daisy. Will definitely book her again for our next trip!

I can’t recommend Dana enough! She stayed at my house for two nights to take care of my three dogs, and she was absolutely amazing. Communication was great—she kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Dana followed all my instructions perfectly and was extremely reliable and punctual. What really stood out was her dedication—she stayed with my dogs the entire time, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My dogs absolutely loved her! On top of that, I came home to a clean house, which was such a nice bonus. I will definitely be using Dana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Jewels did an amazing job with our two cats while we were away. We are always so stressed leaving our babys and she really put us at ease knowing they were getting tons of love. She sent us lots of photos throughout the trip and we could tell they were loving each other’s company. Jewels was really responsive during the trip and kept the house nice and tidy. We also very much appreciated during the meet and greet that she asked many questions and pet our cats right away. So happy we found an amazing sitter for the future ☺️
