“Minh was great! She took amazing care of my dog, was very responsive and sent me fun pictures and updates while I was away. I came home to a very happy boy so I couldn’t be happier!”

“great sit. thanks so much, Larcy. the boys look forward to seeing you again. i could not have gone to see the eclipse if you hadn’t been available when the other sitter suddenly cancelled.”

“We love Heather so much! She watched our two dogs and cat for 5 nights, and took such good care of all of them. She has great communication, attention to detail, sends updates and photos, and most of all is sweet and kind with our animals. Our reactive dog loves her calm demeanor. Thanks, Heather!”
“Matthew was awesome. My shy boy, William, took to him instantly. He has a new best friend. Bailey was very shy at first. Matthew was very patient and she eventually interacted with him more. I would highly recommend Matthew. He took very good care of my babies and our home.”

About: Growing up, we always had dogs in the house & my favorite pair were the Chihuahua & German shephard, together. My most recent experience was with our 13yr old Corgi who we recently lost due to illness. His last months included multiple medications so I have experience with pills, tablets,etc. While the thought of another dog is out of the question, I would love to give my attention to another animal, if only for a few hours a day. Tho I have no "professional" experience, four walks a day, every day, rain or shine, 365 days a year x 13 years I believe does qualify me to show some love to a deserving pet. Cats, that are friendly & cuddly but not super "standoff-ish" are great too, I just dont have as much experience with cats as much as I do dogs. I provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walking with a focus on consistency, communication, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs and experienced handling feeding, litter boxes, walks, and general check-ins. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable in your home or with your pets, so I make sure to follow instructions carefully and provide updates (during) & after every visit with photos. I’m flexible with scheduling and respond quickly to messages, including same-day requests when available. Currently, my availability is incredibly wide open. I can do mornings, afternoons or evenings whatever is needed. If at all possible, I prefer to keep my clients close in case something comes up plus it just makes things alot easier. I do own a car & drive just fyi. While we do have a fenced backyard, we're just not ready to board a pet here at our home just yet thanks for understanding. While doing a "drop-in" or a "stay" I will treat your pets as if they were my own. Same goes for your place of residence. My goal is for pet parents to return to their homes making it look like I wasn't there, except of course for your happy, well-fed & well taken care of furry buddies. If your dog just absolutely LOVES to play, I have a tendency to stay a bit longer, at no extra fee of course just cuz I love to play too.🙂
“They did such a great job! We needed a sitter while we went off to get married and the updates throughout the day and pictures let us enjoy our time without worry. Thank you for taking taking care of our furkids!”

“Mariana stayed and cared for our 2 siberian huskies for 5 days while we flew out of state for a wedding. She did an outstanding job communicating and updating me throughout. She did daily walks for them and followed all feeding instructions. We came home and the house was possibly even cleaner than when we left! 10/10 will be hiring her again! Thank you Mariana ❤️”

“Archie LOVES Lauren ◡̈ I had to go into the office all day and so I hired her to watch Archie while I was gone they played almost the whole time! She sent me pictures and videos throughout which made me feel at ease so I could focus on work! Archie is a high energy dog and she was able to handle him with ease! Showed up on time and understood everything she needed to know ◡̈ Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future! ◡̈”

“Lizette was hands down one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. They were attentive, thorough, respectful and kind. We did a meet and greet prior to booking and they made sure to bring a list of questions and take lots of notes on our pets behaviors, quirks, likes/dislikes. Parker is more on the anxious side when my partner and I travel and Lizette was intentional with spending as much time with him and playing with him as possible. He has a lot of energy, and Lizette made sure to be attentive to that. I would highly recommend Lizette to anyone that has anxious pups/high energy pets. & Of course, our little kitty, Dusty loved them too. Thank you, Lizette! We hope to use you in the future again.”

“Arizonia is AMAZING!!! She took care of our 2 frenchies for a couple days and it was as smooth as can be. Not only were the boys happy when we got back but our house was immaculate and she baked us some treats ? We’ll for sure have her again!!”

“My dogs felt immediately comfortable and happy with Monique. She was accommodating with their feeding, sleep, and exercise schedule, and was a great communicator while I was gone. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”


“This is our second booking with Alexis. She did a great job again. Easy to get a hold of, and responds in a timely matter. She took care of our two boys and sent us updates. Our house was very clean when we cam back from our week trip. Would book again and again and again!!!”

“Leaving Ajay with Rachel and her family always gives us such peace of mind. We know she is giving our pup full attention and she truly is caring for him with the same high quality of love and care we give him at home. Rachel is our go-to caregiver for Ajay. We feel so fortunate that she is available for us, and for Ajay!”

Arizonia and her daughter Lilly were so wonderful with our cats- they played and cuddled with them a lot and housesat for us for 6 days, 5 nights. The house was clean when we got back and they even had made us chocolate chip cookies, which were delicious, to welcome us home- such a nice touch. Highly recommend.

Matthew was awesome. My shy boy, William, took to him instantly. He has a new best friend. Bailey was very shy at first. Matthew was very patient and she eventually interacted with him more. I would highly recommend Matthew. He took very good care of my babies and our home.

We’re so grateful to have Rachel—this is her third time watching our two pups, and every time they are so well cared for and completely spoiled in the best way. She always makes sure they get plenty of treats, walks, and quality hangout time (they love their time with “Aunt Rachel”!). Not to mention, Rachel provides daily check ins with pictures or videos multiple times a day we never miss out on their adventures with Aunt Rachel. We feel totally at ease leaving them with her, and at this point she truly feels like part of our dog family. Highly recommend!

Chervyn helped with a relatively last minute sit during the holiday period. She was proactive, detail-oriented, and easy going with our shy old lady dog. Appreciated her updates throughout the stay as well. I will be reaching out to her for any future dog sitting needs going forward!

I wish every pet sitting experience was like the one Luca provided us with. Luca was so attentive and sweet with our 2 cats and 2 dogs, they were communicative, respectful of our home and animals, clean and organized, always so welcoming and caring. We came back to an organized and clean home, our pets seemed happy, we got updates and pictures as frequently as we requested, Luca was all around a lovely person and a trustworthy presence in our home! I look forward to booking with them again in the future!

This is the second time Ashley has watched my pets and 10/10 would recommend. She’s great with both my dog and antisocial cat. Whenever I go out of town if she’s available I’m having her watch the pets again. She has my dog laying on his back for tummy rubs and my cat eating, which is hard to do. They were happy and healthy both times I got back and she answered any time I needed to check in on my babies. I would highly recommend her.
