“Lydia was excellent with Bruce. She was kind and attentive and clearly knows a lot about dogs in terms of behavior and temperament. I felt very comfortable leaving Bruce with her for the evening and based on the photo updates, it’s clear he had a great time as well! Thank you, Lydia.”
“Tess is great! My two dogs clearly were loved by the look from all the pictures she sent me. The house is as clean as I left it and she communicated the whole time I was gone. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Amanda stayed at our house for 10 days, watching our special needs geriatric Maltese and provided excellent care. Amanda administered our dog’s medication 4x per day and cleaned up numerous accidents due to our dog’s anxiety. Our dog wears a belly band, so she also had to bathe him frequently. She followed my multiple pages of instructions and provided daily updates. Amanda also left the house spotless. We really appreciate all of her hard work and dedication to our dog. We would definitely have her care for him again!”
“Richard did a wonderful job staying in our house. He left it cleaner than we did, and the dogs were happy and healthy upon our return. He provided lots of photo updates. He was accommodating when we needed to modify our booking. Definitely would hire him again!”
“Dani stayed at our home over the weekend to watch our dog Moby and did an amazing job! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. Moby was happy and well cared for when we got back, and the house was just as we left it. We’d definitely book Dani again - highly recommend!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have a pitbull boxer mix named Pepper at home as well as three cats. I am fully experienced with all aspects of their care including walking, feeding, administering medication, spending quality time, and more. I believe in positive reinforcement only and am well acquainted with pets of any age, size, or temperament. My schedule is currently wide open and I am willing to find any time to take care of your animals. Weekends or weekdays as well as overnight stays are fine by me. I believe in patience and positive reinforcement with pets. I am also very respectful of your home and their living spaces and will be mindful of any boundaries set concerning those.
“Rhiannon was terrific! She cared for our dogs and home with great care and wonderful communication. Meant the world to us to receive regular updates with happy dog photos. She was flexible and quick to respond. Great experience!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Lonie watched our two dogs while we were briefly out of town and WOW she did amazing! The house was spotless, the dogs were happy and even had their nails trimmed! She was easy to communicate with, asked great questions and was very thoughtful - even asking which time zone we’d be traveling to so her updates didn’t disturb us during late/early hours. I’d absolutely recommend her.”
“Sarah was truly a life saver for us and our new puppy! My husband and I had to leave our barely 3 month year old Golden Retriever for 9 days and we were SO nervous but, Sarah went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She stayed at our house basically 24 hours a day and kept his schedule and routine completely normal. She sent lots of updates and pictures which really helped make me feel he was safe and well taken care of. Her and Goose became good buddies and I can't wait to use her services again!”
“Emily has dog sat/house sat on two different occasions for us now. We have two Pomeranians (10 and 9 years old). She is very respectful, kind and provides us updates often with photos. I would highly recommend Emily. She is very responsive and asked all the right questions during our interview process.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was born. Many other animals types as well. All shapes, sizes and attitudes. I believe they are all beautiful, unique, conscious beings that deserve unconditional love. I also work remotely and am available for 24/7 service. So your pet won’t be stuck bored while waiting on the sitter to get back home from work. I work from home full time. Im an insurance producer and work from our home office space. I have the flexibility to leave my desk between calls to take care of the animals if I happen to be working. I have a fenced in yard. 2 dogs and 1 cat I've cared for daily for the last 6 years. So I’m very much in flow with being a fur baby parent. My home on Ardmore Dr is 1 block from the local park/dog park. If your dog is friendly with others and likes to explore they will have a great time :)
“Jennifer was great! She watched my three quirky pitty babies over the 4th of July weekend. Communication was great, lots of pictures and all the puppies looked to be having fun :) I would definitely book again and recommend to friends.”

Heather has cared for my pets three times.. I can honestly say that I feel so relaxed when she is caring for them. She cares about the instructions I leave and actually appreciates them and follows them to make sure both stay healthy and happy. She is attentive to their needs and will readily contact me if she has any concerns. She communicates clearly, sends photos, and responds in a very timely way to messages and I so appreciate this about her. I had a plumbing problem right before I left for this trip and she was available to the plumber so that the work could be done quickly. You won't be disappointed if you work with Heather.
Diane was a fantastic sitter! She was amazing and easy to work with throughout the process. She stayed in my home while I traveled and my deeply anxious rescue dog and my cats never missed me. Diane kept me informed while I was away, followed all my instructions, and my pets were safe and happy in my absence. I look forward to hiring her again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or rebook her. She’s truly a thoughtful and special person who will care for your pets so you can relax while you’re away.
This was Rebecca’s first time watching our pets and it was an excellent experience. We have a 7mo old golden, and a 15yr old cat. We were out of the country for six nights so we wanted to find the right person to stay-in and watch our pets and house. Rebecca made sure we felt comfortable before we left for the trip, and her communication during the trip was amazing. She even went to the pet store to get Nash some more chew sticks and toys. We will definitely be customers in the future.
Elizabeth is hands down the best dog sitter we have ever used. I was able to go away for a weekend on short notice and know without a doubt my 2 dogs were in the best hands. She sent me lots of updates and plenty of cute pictures while I was away. She asked all the right questions if anything came up. I also came back to a clean house which was a huge plus. She was able to handle our crazy 1.5 year old golden and keep our 6 year old golden very happy. You could genuinely tell they enjoyed their time with her just from the photos. Would definitely use Elizabeth again and can’t thank her enough!! If you are looking for a well qualified dog sitter who truly cares about your pet as if they are her own, look no further.
Sarah was genuinely so amazing with our pup Loki. She watched him for a week, and we came back to a happy dog and a spotless house. She was a great communicator, sent photos, and was extremely responsive and clear about her schedule. She made us feel so relieved to know that he was so well taken care of, and we were able to enjoy our time away because of her :)
Lonie was amazing with our 2 elderly dogs! We haven’t left them overnight in almost 2 years due to their health issues, but I felt very comfortable with Lonie after our meet and greet. She definitely has a lot of experience with animals and is very loving with them! She also went above and beyond what I expected of her in terms of washing and changing the sheets on her bed and generally tidying up the house, even though it was just an overnight visit. I really cannot say enough good things about her! She was awesome!
My dog Gabby has great anxiety and Kenna took the time to get to know her after our meet and greet I was confident and assured Gabby would be fine in her care and she was. I ended up staying a little later than planned and Keno is really flexible and great about it. Thank you Kenna! You are awesome
We had a great experience with Amanda! She took wonderful care of our two Labs and made sure they were comfortable, and given lots of attention while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Our dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home, and it was clear they were well cared for. We would definitely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter.
Richard did a wonderful job staying in our house. He left it cleaner than we did, and the dogs were happy and healthy upon our return. He provided lots of photo updates. He was accommodating when we needed to modify our booking. Definitely would hire him again!
Rachael was so good with Juno! We were so happy to have someone stay with her and give her some normalcy while we were away. Rachael sent us updates, adorable photos, and Juno looked comfy and content in each one. We’re so happy to have found Rachael and we know Juno is too! We will book with her anytime we have to go on a trip!
Amanda stayed at our house for 10 days, watching our special needs geriatric Maltese and provided excellent care. Amanda administered our dog’s medication 4x per day and cleaned up numerous accidents due to our dog’s anxiety. Our dog wears a belly band, so she also had to bathe him frequently. She followed my multiple pages of instructions and provided daily updates. Amanda also left the house spotless. We really appreciate all of her hard work and dedication to our dog. We would definitely have her care for him again!
