“Hannah is awesome! Prompt to respond and eager to help out. She does a fantastic job each time and gives our pup the best of care. Definitely will continue to use her in the future.”

“Destiny was an amazing sitter and house guest! Our old boy, Blue, loved her from the moment he met her. She stayed in our home for 16 days and not only took incredible care of Blue, sending regular updates and pics/videos, but she went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, watering plants and even cleaned the house before she left, leaving us a sweet note. She was communicative, professional, and has a high level of attention to detail. We will 100% be using her services again!”


“Maria did an outstanding job taking care of our Rita for the weekend. She spent time playing and giving her lots of love, attention, and treats. We really appreciated the videos and picture updates while we were away. She even took extra care during the thunderstorms to make sure Rita was safe. Our house was kept cleaned and overall would definitely recommend Maria for any dogsitting needs!”


“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”


“Christina was fantastic! Our dog and cat loved her from the first meeting and instantly felt comfortable with her. She has a lovely demeanor and was extremely responsive and professional. She made our vacation carefree knowing our babies were in great hands. We will definitely be working with her again!”


“Very grateful for Zach’s assistance while I was away with family for a frequent. I especially appreciated his thoughtful and thorough checklist of things to ask about during a meet and greet and his frequent updates.”



“Vixana took such good care of my pets while I was overseas. She was responsive and kept in contact with me with regular updates and pictures. Both Poppy and Salem loved her and I didn’t feel bad leaving them I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thank you.”


“Laura is an amazing pet and house sitter! My pup can have some behaviors nand trouble meeting new people, but he immediately loved Laura and felt comfortable with her. My kitties too are very skiddish, but from photos they seemed to be comfortable with Laura’s presence. Not to mention, I came home to a clean house which enabled me to relax after a busy weekend away. Thank you so much and the fur babies cannot wait to see you again!”



“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! We have never left our dogs with anyone other than family before, so we were quite nervous. But Valerie was the perfect person to stay with our boys. Tebow is a senior dog with a lot of health issues & medicine needs, on top of his personality issues! Valerie dealt with him like a pro! She spoiled our boys while we were gone, and gave us great daily updates so we always had peace of mind. I would highly recommend Val!! We will definitely use her again!”


“Phoebe watched our 4 dogs while we went on a 4 night cruise and she was wonderful. We told her she didn't need to walk them but she still took 3 on a walk everyday (very brave as they can be very naughty). The house was clean and well taken care of and all dogs seemed genuinely well taken care for and happy when we got back. Phoebe was also able to be extremely flexible as our cruise return was delayed by 12 hours she was able to stay later and also provided great updates. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future”


“The best. Take great care of dogs and my house. It’s always cleaner than when I left it. Great communication. Always so pleasant and sending great updates and pictures. Highly recommend this sweet couple.”


“Great caring sitter. Everything was perfect. “Walking “Littleman in his stroller was so nice. He loves his “walks”. Everything was so clean and neat. Would use Alicia again and again. Thank you so much.”


“Lani was so amazing with both my dogs! They warmed right up to her and had a blast while I was out of town. She was very communicative and made sure to keep me updated. Will absolutely be using her again!”


“Ashlee was great with our pups! Dalmatians can be a stubborn breed but Ashleee got to know them and handles them very well. She is very communicative during the stay and keeps us updated on the pups!”


About: I'm Patricia - a lifelong animal lover with real, hands-on experience caring for everything from dogs and cats, reptiles, small mammals, birds, goats and even horses! I grew up on a small farm and have personally owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, a leopard gecko. Currently have and care for two bob tailed cats. I work a full-time career and am only available evenings, some overnights and weekends. Each job is carefully reviewed so that I make sure that your pet is able to receive my full attention before I accept it. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, and I bring both responsibility and compassion to every visit. Whether you need someone to check in on your pets, provide overnight care, or help with farm animals while you're away, I'm here to help. I'm able to follow instructions to the letter and able to respond with a calm manner if an emergency arises.
