Terri was beyond wonderful taking care of our home, and fur baby. Her updates are extremely thorough and consistent. We have used her before, and will be using her in the future for our sitting needs.

Maeve was great! Brought Avo to our wedding venue right on time, stayed close to ensure when we were done taking pictures he could go back to our Airbnb. Then feed him snack and put him to sleep. Wonderful service!

Campbell grew up taking care of animals of all types. In the spirit of full transparency - I’m her mom. But you can ask anyone who knows her! Dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies! She loves them all! And she is reliable, responsible, and will always put your pets’ care first. She’s very good with our dog who is a super finicky eater. Very patient and caring. She won’t let you or your fur babies down!

Lauren was amazing! She housed my Aussie for 4 days and was so great with keeping me update from day to day. My pup also has A LOT of energy and Lauren walked/ played with her everyday! Lauren was super responsive and great with my last minute changes. I would definitely recommend having Lauren watch your fur baby!

Christine is a true animal lover. She has a lot of years of experience in taking care especially of dogs. She takes safe and loving care of animals. Her warm and friendly character allows her to be calm and focused, even in stressful situations. And her self confidence gives her the right amount of authority, to be heard and accepted by a dog, when ever necessary. The multiple years of experience, by having her own dogs, gives her the ability to understand the needs of a dog, to know exactly how to take care of animals and how to react and what todo in specific situations. I highly recommend Christine as a dog sitter and would trust her with my own fur babies at any time.

Greta did well beyond my expectations. My dog is very active and attention seeking. It's a lot sometimes but Greta handled my dog "Hyper" with ease in grace. She sent pictures of them playing and regular updates. I returned to my house just as I left it.

Amanda was great with my dog, Kimbo. She followed instructions perfectly, kept me in the loop and came home to a clean house which was a plus! I look forward to reaching out to her again to dogsit Kimbo. Thank you Amanda!

About: I grew up taking care of animals including dogs, I had a black lab growing up till he passed of old age and after we got more dogs. I currently have 3 large dogs I love and adore. When my mom and aunt worked at a dog kennel I would go and help them with the feeding, cleaning, walking and playtime. I worked with all breeds and sizes of dogs and am comfortable with all dogs. My aunt used to train dogs and I learned quite a few things from her when it comes to training dogs and will teach you tips if needed and or wanted. I am currently working full time, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to care for your furr babies day or night! On the weekdays I am available after 4:30pm for walks/ feedings. I care for your pets as if they were mine, they will have lots of love, attention. If your dog makes a mess in your home I will make sure to clean it and leave the house just as you left it.

Our little dog, (Dogo) is very shy, she's not comfortable going with just anyone. Heidi is her magic best friend who can always get her excited to come for a walk or a visit. Heidi is the only person we trust to take Dogo for the weekends when we are away, we know that she'll be happy, well cared for, and totally spoiled!

Alexandra is a very loving individual who cares about all animals she comes in contact with. Growing up we had dogs and she loved them more than anything else. She is very patient and caring and always puts the animals first. I know she will do a great job taking care of any animal she is asked to caregive for.

Leah was wonderful! She house and dog sat a few days for us. During that time one of our dogs got into something and she took all the measures to make sure he was ok, she went above and beyond. She communicated well the whole time, we knew everything was in great hands. The house was left in beautiful condition as well. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter and we’d love to book with her again.
