“The dogs were very happy with their care. They were happy as could be when we returned but seemed as if they had the best week possible. Very good communication without over communicating. We will for sure use Emily again”


“Ariel took the time to come over and meet my dogs before her scheduled stay. She arrived shortly after we left and stayed until we were almost home. She sent me dog updates and pics. She was patient with suspicious Mia. She grabbed our mail and packages and brought in trash cans. The house looked good when we got him too ! I would def hire her again.”


“Polina stayed in our home with our border collie mix, Willy, for 12 nights. We came home to a happy dog and found everything just as we had left it. Polina updated us with pictures giving us piece of mind that all was well at home. We will definitely book her again!”


“Kelsey went above & beyond with my dog, Nalah!! She took her to the dog park, for multiple walks, and sent photo and video updates throughout the day. My dog was smiling ear to ear in each photo- Highly recommend. Will def be using Kelsey again!!”


“Ricardo stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of our two mini doodles, one of whom needed medicine while we were gone. We returned home to two happy, well-fed and well-cared for dogs. He did a great job and I would be happy to hire him again. Before staying with them, he visited with the dogs on two occasions and both seemed to take to him immediately. Grateful for his care for them while we were away.”

“Jenna did an excellent job with my dogs. She even provided a little training to my puppy. I highly recommend Jenna and will use her again.”

“We are so lucky to have found Olivia. After our original sitter had to cancel 3 days before our trip, we were left scrambling to find a new one. Olivia responded to our inquiry very quickly and was flexible in scheduling a time to chat over the phone prior to us leaving. She was very communicative and provided great photos. Overall, I highly recommend her, and plan to rebook with her in the future!”


“Had an awesome experience with Molly and her dog Izzi! She sent photos and videos throughout dog sitting at my apartment, which eased my nervousness of leaving her alone for the first time. She did really well with my dog and her social anxiety. I will definitely be rehiring her again for future needs! 10/10 Highly recommended.”


About: I’ve been taking care of people’s pets since I was young. I am a genuine animal lover, so I will ensure the best care is provided for your pets! I work full time Monday-Friday. Those are 8 hour days so I can be fully available to your pets after and before work. My work schedule is set and I can let you the exact schedule ahead of time! I can easily crate your pets, walk your pets, and work with your pets on new skills. I have experience watching both large and small dogs and I’m comfortable with both.

“Anna was great! She cared for our dog, gave detailed daily updates and sent lots of pictures. My pup was happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Will be requesting another house sitting service soon!”


“I recently had the pleasure of having Kasidee care for my dog and cat while I was away. From the moment we met, it was clear that she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. While I was gone, Kasidee stayed at my home and provided consistent updates, including daily pictures that always made my kids and me smile and feel at ease. My pets were clearly well cared for and looked relaxed and happy in the photos. It gave me such peace of mind to know they were in great hands. I highly recommend Kasidee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”
