“Madison was a wonderful cat sitter. This is our first time having someone stay at the house with the cats while we were away and Madison did a wonderful job. She was very communicative, sent pictures of the kitties and left the place in great shape. Will definitely hire her again!”

“We rebooked Cady for our house, pups, and ducks. She is extremely attentive to our home and animals. She took care of everything we needed and gave us consistent updates while we were gone. We came back to a clean home with extremely happy animals. We are very happy with the services we get when we use Cady! We will continue to use her as long as we can!!”

“Skyler is top notch. Right from the start, communication was great. Unfortunately my dog decided to be a big jack@$$. He acted up right as I was packing to leave but petting on my bed. He ended up nipping Skylar and being a grumpface, making her job more difficult. She handled it like a pro and even given the option to finish the stay, with minor adjustments she gladly continued. I very much appreciated her commitment. 5 stars from me!”

“We are thrilled with the live and care Mika and Koji provided to our Pekingese George. They sent us pictures daily and kept us posted as to how he was doing. He can be a bit spicy and isn’t always cooperative with taking his pills but they won him over! As others noted we came home to a cleaner condo than we left! We would definitely reach out to them again if the need arises.”

About: I have provided care for dogs and cats for over 20+ years. I was the first to volunteer in my youth to "stay home" with the animals. I am thoughtful and reliable and understand the importance of a maintained routine. I approach all visits with patience, care, and professionalism. I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs. I prioritize maintaining your pet's normal routine to reduce any stress and ensure comfort and safety. I follow care instructions closely and monitor behavior and overall well being. I communicate regularly and provide all requested updates. I treat the client's home with care, professionalism and discretion at all times. I am an active person and enjoy walks/runs.
“Tammy allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was in excellent care. She sent us daily pics of their day together, followed his daily routine and was fully committed to the care and comfort of Tank. I would give Tammy 6 stars if I could.”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.
“Madalyn is amazing! Pandora needed to have medications picked up and given during Madalyn’s stay and Madalyn went the extra mile abs picked them up from the pharmacy for me. I got update pictures and stories every day I was away! Highly recommend for your overnight stays!”

“Jada was a joy to have as a sitter for Pearl. She kept in touch with me and let me know how Pearl was and what they had been doing. I loved getting the pictures too. The house was clean and tidy when I got home. I hope she will be available the next time I need a house/dog sitter.”

“Katarina was an amazing sitter for Zuko. She was incredibly accommodating, gave me continuous updates on Zuko, and went above and beyond with her care. Zuko ended up having some tummy issues and Katarina immediately updated me on the problem and even picked up his prescription from the vet on my behalf. She took great care of the home and was always available to help where she could while I was away. I would 100% book her services again and I am incredibly grateful for her care. Thank you so much Katarina!”

“Liz is the best pet/house sitter I've ever hired (and I've hired a lot). She is SO kind, and communicative. I got updates daily. My house was tidy when I returned. My animals seemed happy. I so appreciate her!”

“Morgan was amazing! She took such great care of my puppy Tamale! She even let us know how he was doing by sending us pics and videos! Tamale would love to have her back!”


“Kami stayed with our dog, Chase, for a few days while my wife and I flew across the country for a wedding. Before the stay, she met us for a meet and greet with Chase and was”

“Luz was immediately comfortable with my two Belgian malinois who are not always immediately friendly. She kept me supplied with news and photos the whole time I was away and I came back to two well-exercised and happy dogs. I really can’t think of anything I would have changed about the visit”
“Matthew was an excellent communicator during his 11 day stay at our home pet sitting our two dogs. He posted daily summaries and checklists on activities, meals and posted photos. We are extremely happy with his attention to the care of our pups. Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!

It was Pendleton’s first overnight with a sitter and Koji was amazing with him! Koji kept us updated all throughout the stay and even washed the beddings he used and left the house spotless! Thank you for giving us peace of mind that Pendleton was in good hands. You are now a part of our pack! We will definitely continue to use Mika and Koji for our furry babies.

My dog was safe under Hope’s care and that’s obviously my top priority, but I was disappointed that Hope brought her husband into my home without asking or informing me first. I only realized this after the stay as I reviewed my Ring camera footage for an unrelated incident. My dog isn’t always comfortable around strangers, and having someone else in the house without prior notice goes against my expectations for safety and transparency.
