“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Rachel is professional with excellent communication and we felt very comfortable having her house sit our two dogs! And from the pictures, I know the dogs liked her too!”
“Christine was very responsive especially considering this was a last minute request! She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout the day. It helped me be more present at my work conference knowing that they were in good hands”
“I always appreciate the care and effort that goes into taking care of my pups! Thank you Jahcarre and Morgan for loving on Koko and Yuki while I was away! As always, I’m much appreciative and look forward to the next opportunity! Take care, Danielle”
“Pj took such good care of our baby for a whole week and we booked her last minute. She was extremely accommodating and our dog warmed up to her quick. We certainly felt like he was taken care of and in good hands while we were away!”
“I am new to the area and am so relieved to have met Brianna! She was great with my dog and cat while I was away for 5 days. I left detailed instructions and she followed them and communicated well. I’m thankful to have met someone I can trust with my babies! Will be booking with her again.”
“We’re Weimaraner owners and having big dogs can be a challenge when you’re looking for the right sitter who will meet all your dogs needs so they don’t become destructive or depressed and Robert met all of our dog’s needs on our first trip away after losing our older dog. I will be recommending Robert in the future. He went above and beyond by helping us with our plants as well.”
“Alex is so great to work with! We came home to a very happy Gotham and a house just the way we left it! Alex sent lots of pictures and kept in contact with us. Thank you for loving on Gotham while we were away!”
“Tabitha took great care of our cats and our home! Will definitely book her again when we need someone!”
“Maria was an excellent choice! She’s kind and a great communicator. She followed all instructions to an T and took extra special care of our senior cat with dietary needs. Our cat can have some separation anxiety and under-groom while we’re away, and we came home to a happy, healthy kitty! It is clear that Maria went above and beyond to care for our cat, as well as our home. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, including checking in about some flooding from a lot of rain. We will absolutely be booking with Maria again!”
“Emily did such a great job taking care of my pup, Archie! I appreciate how responsive she was and all of the updates she provided! Looking forward to having her watch Archie again!”
“Wonderful experience! This was the first time our dog was left with someone other than a family member & it worked out perfectly. Our dog was happy & well taken care of. Would not hesitate to use again!”
“This was the first time Allison took care if my dogs. The dates had to change- twice! Both times Allison was great about the changes. I returned to two very happy dogs! I’ve already requested her services for another weekend!”
“Jayla was patient and loving to our dog who for the first day and a half was acting very weird and hiding out in one of the bedrooms. Jayla was very communicative and her concern showed through her texts. Turns out it was the fire alarm beeping because the batteries were dying. Our dog was very happy once the batteries were removed!! Jayla stayed overnight and maintained a spotless house for when we returned. She was respectful and loving toward our pet.”
“This was our second time using Katie. We got great photos every day, she brought mail and packages in. She even did our recycling cans for us. House looked amazing when we got home, and we knew our dog and cat were well loved.”
About: I have gained so much experience with animals over the years that I have been jokingly nicknamed “the animal whisperer” and Snow White. I have had dogs and a cat my whole life, as well as watching friends, coworkers, family members and networks pets. I also have experience in animal husbandry & care from my last research position. I accept all furry friends and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents! I currently work full time, approximately 6am-5pm (including my commute), so I am available any day after 5 for a dinner time walk or an overnight stay if pups or cats are okay being left alone for a bit. Please keep this in mind, especially regarding seniors or puppies. If your babies are used to that then I am totally fine with it. On weekends, however, I am available any time! I am able to follow any instructions given from the client and do have experience giving medication as well. I am attentive, will provide updates, always looking out for their well-being, and loving. I will provide the most comfortable & approachable aura that I can to make all fur-babies feel safe 💕
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our puppies! We really appreciated all the updates and the videos you would send every morning!”
“Gabby was wonderful with my two Dalmatians!! She was extremely communicative and followed all of the instructions for a seamless weekend stay in our house. She was punctual and treated our house with care, will use her again!”
“Linda was fantastic. Periodically we received photos of our boys while we were gone. Linda was in frequent contact with us. She even washed the sheets on her bed before she left. We highly recommend her!”

“Tori is the absolute best! She took care of our 2 pups for 2 weeks while we were away and they absolutely loved it. We will never go back to traditional boarding again. She checked in daily, lots of pictures which is great for those pet parents who get a little of their own separate anxiety. We would absolutely recommend Tori to everyone.”
