“Erika did a great job sitting for our 2 dogs in our home. The dogs liked her, and she seemed to like them.. She sent pictures regularly. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home. Our greyhound, a picky eater, ate all of her meals. We got a full report from Erika at the end of her stay. It was so nice not to worry about our dogs or our home when we were gone for 6 nights.”
“We can not thank Ann enough for watching our 13 week old puppy, Gary, this past week! She kept us updated the whole trip and sent many pictures! She went above and beyond to make sure our puppy was safe while we were gone. We were able to enjoy our vacation so much more knowing that our puppy was in such great hands. We met with Ann twice prior to our vacation and I was so relieved that I found her once we started talking about safety and care instructions. I could tell that Gary had a great time with Ann and we will definitely reach back out in the future when we have our next trip planned. If you have an upcoming trip, 100% book with Ann.”
“Molly saved the day and was able to help us with a last minute overnight stay for the weekend. Once again, our dog and house were both well cared for. We will definitely continue to use her!”
“Bennett helped our family in a pinch! He was super responsive, sent pics of our pups and we trusted him in our home while we were away! When we came home, he even had a relaxing channel for dogs on the TV - we know they were in great care. Thank you, Bennett!!”
“We interviewed several people to house sit and watch our.pets. We chose Sarah to house sit for our 2 adult German shepherds. Most people are intimidated by them. They absolutely love her and she is so good with them. We have had Sarah for almost 1 year, and she has not let us down.”
“Lauren recently stayed at our home from Thursday through Sunday to care for our dog, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the start, she was highly communicative and dependable, keeping us updated regularly with thoughtful messages and photos of our dog throughout the day. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such capable and caring hands. We returned to a well-kept home—clean, orderly, and exactly as we left it—which speaks volumes to Lauren’s respect and attention to detail. Most importantly, our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and relaxed. We truly appreciated the level of care and professionalism Lauren brought to the role, and we would gladly welcome her back anytime. Highly recommend!”
About: I have helped raise three kitties! I have additionally helped to raise a puppy who was a bit reactive and required additional training. While it was tough, it was very rewarding and I appreciate the way it helped me better communicate with my dog. I am currently taking a very long break from corporate work, and would love to spend this year regrouping but doing one of my favorite things: Hanging out with and helping adorable animals! I am extremely flexible with my schedule, and willing to travel. Currently, I care for my pets by providing weekly brushing, daily feeding, daily litter box cleaning/rotation, weekly litter deep cleans, and play time. For dogs, I am comfortable, feeding, walking with a harness, collar, as well as a gentle-leader for our more reactive friends. While doing home visits, I am comfortable and happy to supervise outdoor/backyard time. I love long walks and am comfortable with dogs up to 100 lbs.
“Grace was great & so sweet. She was very flexible with us on the times we needed her. Her & our dog, Boston, hit it off right away. We were able to have a peace of mind while we were out of town for the weekend knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely be working with her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life; dogs, cats, ducks, and more. I love being able to provide a safe and peaceful experience for any type of pet! I’m currently caring for my disabled mom. I have the flexibility and availability to help out any time of day. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or check-ins. I currently have two big dogs, Bubba and Rufus. I’ve had both since they were puppies and have used positive reinforcement training to now have both well socialized and very good boys.
About: I have many years experience with Pets, especially dogs, but cats as well and I have always been able to help them understand how to cooperate. I use positive reinforcement and very clear communication and have been able to help them respond very quickly and understanding what is needed of them. And for me, I respect the unconditional love that they give by returning that, which creates a strong bond. I can express to them and communicate easily using cooperation rather than force. Love is foremost. I am a retired, ultrasound, technician, and I am free almost all days. I have no major commitments to children, grandchildren, etc. to interfere with my pet care routine. I am in good health able to walk even larger dogs with the understanding that they are leash trained. If they are not, I may have to spend some time training them if that is the wish of the owner, and I am well experienced in this training.. I am willing to walk your dog, let him or her out if that is their routine, feed provide water, make sure all their physical mental and emotional needs are met at the time of my visits. I will try to know and understand what they are used to and provide as much of that as possible to relieve the stress of their family being gone.
“My dog Murphy loved Elena. I came home from a trip and Murphy didn't bother to great me.. he'd rather be following and sitting in front of Elena to protect her and not me. Elena was not only great with Murphy, but also watered my flowers without being asked.”
“We were a little nervous, having never used Rover before, about letting a stranger into our home to watch our pups. After meeting Caroline prior to our trip, we knew our dogs and home were in good hands. Caroline was quick to respond to all of our messages prior to and while on our trip. She was amazing and we will definitely use her again.”
“Josh and Susan have watched our 2 pups 3 times now and we couldn’t be happier. It’s the best feeling going away and knowing our pets are in good hands. The pics they send are always a great bonus. We will definitely use them again. 😊”
“Suzanna- was a pleasure to work with. She sent me pictures of my dogs while I was out. Very much on time when we discussed leaving and coming back to the house. We certainly felt comfortable with her at our house. Would highly recommend again! Thank you for staying with our pups! Joanna C.”
“Goka and her family provided outstanding care for our pup and cats while we were away. They shared daily photos of our pets enjoying playtime and getting love and attention. Goka was incredibly responsive, and we returned home to happy, well-cared-for animals and a delightfully tired pup who clearly had a wonderful time with her new friends. Thank you for the great care!”

I can’t say enough good things about Katie! One of our dogs had to go to the emergency vet the morning we were supposed to leave for vacation and Katie was extremely understanding and flexible as plans got shifted around. She went above and beyond caring for our pups and kept us updated every step of the way. I would highly recommend Katie.
Tracy was very good and respectful in home sitter for 2 of our dogs. We have a 6 year old special needs dog who is blind and she was comfortable with him. Our other is a higher energy dog about 3 years old. She stayed in home and we feel they were well cared for. It's really hard to board a blind dog because they can't get used to new surroundings.
