“Amy was a godsend! She was punctual, communicative, and prepared. Best of all, she is a gentle and respectful spirit who our rambunctious dog took an immediate liking to. I look forward to using her services again and would recommend her without reservation.”

“Kristie was great! Extremely communicative sending updates and pictures of my 2 littles. She took great care of them, even accommodating a last minute medication need and left my home in perfect condition. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Maverick was great! He was everything we needed in a puppy sitter. He was communicative and polite and the house was in great shape when we returned. 10/10 would use again!!!”

“Robyn & Steven are always extremely reliable and super communicative. They make us feel comfortable leaving home knowing our cats and house are in good hands. I cannot say enough great things about them and the attentiveness they have to making sure everything is taken care of for us while we're away. There is nothing like having peace of mind when you're on vacation, and Robyn & Steven provide exactly that every time. Highly recommend these guys!!”

About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊
“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”

“Mary was great! She provided great updates and pictures of my dog! My dog was well taken care of. I will definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!!”

“Vanessa has helped with our dog before and we will absolutely ask her next time we need help. She is always here when she says she will be and sends updates and pictures to ease our minds.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
“I cannot recommend Mandy enough! She took care of my fur baby as if he were her own. Not only did she provide him with great potty breaks and meals, but she also made sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. I loved receiving pictures of my pup having a blast while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, look no further. This sitter is truly top-notch!”

“Cathryn was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. She took very good care of them -- meals, treats and dog walking. There was plenty of snuggle time, too. She left an immaculate house. We will definitely ask Cathryn to sit for us again. Fortunate to have her! Thanks Cathryn!”

“Philip was available to meet at the last minute and was very flexible in meeting up to meet my dog. He had responsive communication during the whole time I went out of town . My dog was very happy and well taken care of. I am so glad to find someone to keep my dog for in the future. Thank you Philip!”

“Ruby is AWESOME. Attentive, great communication, punctual, and warm. I didn’t think it was possible to feel comfortable leaving our babies in a strangers care but Ruby went above and beyond. We have a shy pup whose trust she was able to gain and an older dog that was delighted to have a snuggle bud for the day. I can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely use her in the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. It’s a true joy and pleasure. Love spending my time with them as creating bonds I am available 2-8 hours a week. I work full time and miss having my own dog, so sitting dogs comes naturally and a is a joy. I can walk, board, and clean after dogs. With cats it’s the same and clean the litter box. Spend time playing with them and taking care of any anxieties.
About: I have animals myself cat and dog. I am available on the weekends majority of the day. I don't mind going to dog parks or even chilling in my apartment with dog/cat. Weekends are easy for me to dog/cat sit some weekdays as well I will let you know when you schedule and communicate with me and we will figure it out. 🧐 I have dog gates cat gates and animal seatbelts when going to the dog parks or out in town or even for a drive .Food and snacks unless you prefer a certain kind for your pet I will most likely provide snacks.
“Cindy was great! I hadn’t left my dogs overnight for a long time with one of them being a senior. But I felt comfortable and not worried with Cindy staying at my home with them. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Will book again for sure!”

Jamie was amazing with our Georgie girl! Jamie was so sweet, patient, and encouraging with our super nervous dog, Georgia, and it definitely paid off because they were buds after one night together. It made us feel so at peace and less anxious about a longer trip we have coming up. Thank you SO much, Jamie!!

Greta was wonderful! I had a last-minute cancellation with another sitter and she was very readily available and willing to accept a booking last minute. She made sure to keep me updated with pictures and messages throughout the booking and gave my pup lots of love and attention! I highly recommend!

Shanna took exceptional care of my two senior dogs while I was away, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Caring for senior pets can be challenging since they require daily medications and extra attention, but Shanna handled everything flawlessly. She was incredibly sweet, patient, and caring with them, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she sent multiple updates and photos each day, so I always knew they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear that Shanna genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter.
Bayli was absolutely amazing watching our two dogs over the weekend! She was incredibly communicative and responsive the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. She also took great care of our home and kept everything clean and in order, which we really appreciated coming back home to. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure both the pets and owners feel comfortable. We would 100% trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter!
