We cannot recommend Lori and Frank more highly. This was Daisy’s very first time with a pet sitter, and as a rescue pup she can be a bit nervous in new situations. From the moment we met them, Lori and Frank immediately made her feel comfortable—not just with them, but also with their wonderful adult children. They took exceptional care of Daisy and truly made her part of their family. Thanks to their calm, loving environment, Daisy even gained the confidence to make a new doggy friend with another pet guest during her stay, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear every step of the way that Daisy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leaving your dog for the first time is never easy, but Lori and Frank made the entire experience completely stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Daisy and would trust them again without hesitation.

Wowwww… what a fantastic stay Chase, my Furbaby/Golden Retriever, had with Christopher and Allie. This was the first time I’ve ever left him for 8 nights in his 7 year life. I was super nervous. However, not only did Christopher and Allie calm my nerves by allowing all the comforts of home to be connected with Chase - recommending meals be prepared the same, suggesting I send him with a personal item of mine (like a sweatshirt), and also a favorite chew toy. They also met Chase ahead of time which was super helpful. Their precious lab Lincoln was a joy to meet as well. The amazing part of Chase’s stay was that he had experiences that were above and beyond what he gets at home (due to my work schedule). Chase was taken on the most fantastic hikes and adventures every single day… and they all came with photos which warmed my heart and helped me to be at ease with our separation. The biggest part that I appreciated with Christopher and Allie is that they have huge hearts and care about their furbaby clients. They are also available and easy to communicate with (response time is A+++!) They also only take one client at a time which I’m incredibly grateful about. I will always book with C & A for any future stays! They are wonderful 🥰!

We were worried that our Mimi would be very anxious away from us - but she fit right in to Deborah’s home and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was truly cared for. Deborah was great at communication too and seeing Mimi’s smiles in the pictures was wonderful. Definitely will ask Deborah again if the need arises. Thank you!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I can befriend even the most skittish of pets and will love them as if they were my own. I work from home so having a companion is wonderful. I live across the street from a park, can take breaks when I want, and have a pet friendly balcony for all day fresh air. I live alone and with my young adult kids. Our dog of almost 17 years transitioned a few years ago so we all love having a dog around. I also do cat sitting and home sitting as well.

Hsiaolei provided Lulu the absolute best attention and care. They were extremely attentive to her needs, taking her on loads of hikes because she is an energetic dog. The photos she sent us during our time away showed Lulu visibly smiling, whether on her pad by the fire or out on a walk. I highly recommend Hsiaolei!

Alex & Bri were so friendly, accommodating, and communicative. They did so well with my anxious pup, gave her all the snuggles and were attentive. They sent loads of photo updates and followed all the directions. My pup lived their dog Lulu and we will definitely be booking with them again soon. So grateful for them all.

This was our second time booking with Madeleine and Alex, and once again they were absolutely wonderful with Bingo! Their whole family, including their two kids, made him feel right at home. We received regular updates and could tell Bingo was having a great time. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. They’re now our go-to sitters, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, responsible care!

About: We only take 1 dog to be cared for at a time with our small family & havapoo Ollie. I work from home during the week so there is lots of time for cuddles and walking. My teen is eager to help! I work from home full-time, so provide cuddles, attention and lots of walks. In the evenings our family of 3 + havapoo Ollie will care for your fur baby just like ours We can follow whatever protocols you would like for your pup. We have a fenced in deck and provide plenty of walking and exercise at the open field down the hill if your pup is up for it.

About: As a passionate animal lover, what sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of and commitment to the well-being of pets. Additionally, I have a special affinity for senior pets, ensuring they receive the gentle care and attention they need. My skills also include recognizing and responding to different temperaments and health needs, creating a comfortable and safe environment for all pets in my care. Whether it's administering medication, providing extra cuddles, or tailoring activities based on their age and energy levels, I prioritize their happiness and health above all. Your furry family members will be in loving hands with me! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. And this is the job I chose to make a living from. I love it very much Caring for pets in a home, whether it's your own or a client's, involves several key responsibilities that can vary depending on the type of service offered. Here are some general practices: Feeding: Ensure pets are fed a balanced diet appropriate for their age, size, and dietary restrictions. This may include providing fresh water and following specific feeding schedules. Exercise: Provide regular physical activity based on the pet's needs, which may involve walks, playtime, or engaging in activities that stimulate them mentally and physically. Grooming: Regular grooming is essential, including brushing fur, trimming nails, and maintaining hygiene to keep pets comfortable and healthy. Health Care: Monitor for any signs of illness, provide medication as needed, and keep up with veterinary appointments for vaccinations and check-ups. Safety: Create a safe environment by removing hazards (like toxic plants or small objects) and ensuring the pet has secure access to appropriate spaces.

At first I didn't want to post a review for Jessica...mostly because I didn't want others to know how great she is, which could mean she would be fully booked the next time I wanted her to watch our terrier mix Roxie...but I couldn't let that stop me, We left Roxie with Jessica for about 2 weeks and we couldn't have asked for a better guardian. Jessica is someone who truly cares for dogs. She is compassionate, calm and reliable. Jessica took our girl on nice big walks so she got lots of exercise and showered her with lots of love and affection. We could tell when we went to pick Roxie up that she felt right at home. I actually think she was a bit down for a few days after we picked her up because she missed Jessica. Jessica's dog, Julian, is the most even tempered dog I've ever met and although Roxie usually is shy around other dogs, they got along just fine...to the extent that Roxie, our little 15 pound girl, took over Julian's much larger dog bed. Julian accepted it without a flinch and used Roxie's much smaller bed, even though the bed was way to small for him. Jessica sent us a great picture of this. Jessica was the best and will be our go to person from this point forward.
