“Louisa and her daughter Samantha are wonderful. I had to book them last minute, they were flexible, on time, and respectfully did what I asked them to do! They are very patient with my 7 yr old lab and my 9 week old lab puppy (we all know how naughty and energetic they can be). I received several updates during their overnight stay, and both of my girls were very content when I got home from work. Definitely would recommend them!”


“Sara was great with a last minute booking when my regular sitter had an emergency. I appreciated her willingness to look after Ollie on short notice. She was great with him and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”


“Ann did a fantastic job dog sitting our very high energy and dog-reactive pup in our home for five days! She sent so many pictures and we could tell our pup was content/happy and so well taken care of. Ann also reached out to ask clarifying questions when needed and was very responsive. I highly recommend Ann!”


“Erika was great! Curly, my dog, was well taken care of and so was my apartment! She did a great job following all my care instructions for my senior dog and she did a great job keeping everything very tidy. I would certainly recommend her to others and will use her again!”


“Travis did a great job with our two dogs and cat! He was very attentive and caring to our animals, which we greatly appreciated. He sent us pictures and kept in touch with us daily too, which we asked for and loved. He was also very responsible at our home and left it in the same condition in which he found it. Highly recommend and will hire him again.”


“Robert was so great to work with! Our 3 dogs can be a handful but he handled them well and sent lots of pictures each day. I felt completely at ease having him take care of our dogs and plan on booking with him in the future.”


“James was very dependable and conscientious in taking care of our dogs, cats, and home. He sent pet pictures, texted us if he had any questions, and left our home clean. We were very pleased.”


“Lydia did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 doggos and my cats tonight. When I came back all pets were happy and doggos clearly had had a lot of fun! Thank you so much Lydia and hope to benefit again from your help in the future! Cheers, Melanie”


“Marri came to our house for two nights to take care of our two dogs (2.5 years and 6 months). She did an excellent job. Communicated with us via texts, including photos, took the dogs for walks, and left our house very clean. We won’t hesitate to use Marri again.”


“Kaelena came over every day to stay with Odara while we were away, she was very attentive and kind with our baby, who now loves her! She followed the instructions I left and I found a happy and calm dog when I got back 🥰”


About: I have taken care of pets since I was ten years old. Family members and neighbors have counted on me to take care of their pets for years, including pets of all ages and with medical needs. I have an incredible attention to detail and will treat your pets as my own. I am also willing to care for pets other than cats and dogs. I'm currently self-employed, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your precious pets. I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking every day of the week. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, and I will be sure to follow all instructions given to me. Keeping your pets safe will be my priority. You can trust that your pets will be safe and happy while they are in my care.

About: I am a veterinary student and have worked in veterinary medicine for 8 years, including 4 years in emergency medicine. I also am familiar with canine CPR and pre-hospital care. I worked in boarding for 3 years with dogs and cats, and I currently have a large dog of my own. I have experience with all kinds of dogs from puppies to senior dogs; shy dogs, outgoing and happy dogs and reactive dogs. I have training experience using multiple methods of training including purely positive and balanced training. I also am very familiar with reading animal body language and mitigating and avoiding stress or undesired behaviors. I am more than happy to do structured or fun visits following the training method you use with your instruction. Most importantly, I will give you pet the attention they need during my visit and treat them as if they were my own dog. Please pay attention to the hours I have set for breaks. I often have work obligations every weekend and weekdays as well as needing to let my own dog out. I cannot stay with your pets 24 hours a day. I am a full time student, but I am pretty flexible on weekends and during the week especially in the afternoon/evenings. If you have a desired time, service or reoccurring schedule in mind please reach out and we can figure out something that works for us both. With my extensive experience in a variety of animal fields, I am very attention to detail oriented and will ensure with every visit that the upmost safety precautions are taken so there are no incidents. I will also follow any requests/instructions down to the tiniest detail as I take pride in my work regardless of what I am doing.

“Melissa took great care of Lacey, was very communicative and I cannot recommend her more! She's loving and attentive towards the pets and a lovely person to be around. Thanks again for hanging out with our girl!”


“Excellent, kind, considerate dog sitter. Briana sent us pictures daily of our dog, she walked him extensively and also helped to work on some training with him. Briana knew how to handle our dog who has some reactivity and anxiety. She was respectful of our home, prompt and great with communication and care !”
