“Rowan did a great job caring for my Boston Terrier and yearling kitty! Both are rescue pets that have been part of the family for 7 months, so they needed reassurance when we were gone. Rowan did everything just right for them.”


“Brandi was excellent. I would re-book her without hesitation. She is meticulous, respectful, has great communication skills. She left our house spotless after 2 week vacation. She cared for our pups like they were her own!”


“Sophie & Jacob were AMAZING! Our little Yeti warmed up to them immediately! We felt SO secure knowing they were with her and she was in good hands! Yeti even needed to say goodbye before they could leave. Would 100% rebook with them and recommend them!!!!!!!”


“Amaya was Awesome! My dog loved her at first sight! She sent updates and pictures which was greatly appreciated. My dog looked so happy in all the pictures. Amaya followed our instructions completely. She seemed to treat my dog as if he was her own, which let us enjoy our vacation knowing our sweet dog was being cared for and at his own home. We would definitley trust Amaya to care for our dog again and highly recommend her to others!”



“This is our second time using Graham so we could go on vacation. Graham is a fabulous dog sitter! He takes wonderful care of of our pups, handles the medication for our special needs dog well and leaves the house very clean. His picture updates are wonderful! I cannot recommend Graham enough! I will not plan a trip unless I know Graham is available to take care of our little ones.”


“Rhianna was great! She was about to accommodate on short notice and on the meet and greet she asked great questions and was always trying to see what she could do to help out. She recommended a great pill to help Mugsy during the 4th with fireworks. While we were gone she communicated great and took great care of our baby and left the house in great condition. Definitely would recommend.”


About: Hi! I’m Elissa — a lifelong animal lover, dependable sitter, and your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 Whether you’re away for a day or an extended trip, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for just like they would at home. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every animal like family — belly rubs, playtime, walks, cuddles, and all! ✅ Experienced with senior dogs, puppies, and special needs pets ✅ Flexible scheduling and open communication ✅ Clean, calm, and secure environment ✅ Regular photo updates for peace of mind ✅ Passionate, punctual, and fully insured Let’s set up a meet-and-greet so you and your furry friend can feel confident and comfortable. I can’t wait to welcome them into my care! I currently work just two days a week as a paramedic, which means I have plenty of free time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays with ease. In My Home: When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, comfortable, and calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I have a giant fenced in back yard so plenty of room for them to play. We go on regular walks, have plenty of playtime, and stick to their usual feeding and potty routines. I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and snuggles just like they would at home. In Your Home: I respect your home and follow your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, walked, and given lots of playtime and affection. I’m clean, dependable, and always leave your space just as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

About: We have two dogs ourselves, both with special attention needed. Whether your pet has allergies, people shyness, behavior issues and more, we have grown accustomed to that and realize that all animals deserve the same love, and we plan to provide that. We have experience with senior dogs, medications needing to be given on a schedule, bathing, playing, and lots of options for toys and treats. All that said, no need is too large as your pet deserves the same level of care as you would give to your family, because they are your family. When you go on vacation, your dog should get their own vacation as well! We both grew up around dogs from a very young age and have enjoyed the companionship of other animal types as well, from fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, and more. Pet care is our daily routine. We both are blessed enough to be home throughout the entirety of the day whether that be working from home or being lucky enough to help make the home. We purposefully installed a fence for our house so that our dogs could run around and play, so your pet will get that exact same treatment. We have a quiet secluded neighborhood with lots of walking room and places to sniff, and seat protectors in the cars for on the go if your dog likes to see the world. Pup cups, dog parks, new places are all within reason.

“Megan is so patient and kind when she dog-sat in our apartment. We have two dogs and one is challenging to deal with. Barks at strangers, doesn't want to be touched, etc. Megan totally knew how to handle it and rolled with the punches. The pups were happy and tired when we got home. Can;t wait to book Megan again.”


“Mackenzie is an absolute treasure. We booked her for our honeymoon trip to Japan which she stayed at our place with our pups for 11 days. Mackenzie not only took care of our dogs as if they were her own but our house as well. We received constant updates throughout the trip with pictures which we adored. We will continue to hire Mackenzie for pet sitting she really is on a completely other level. Thank you so so so much again 💕”


About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From my early toddler years, my family was always rescuing and caring for animals. That love for animals only deepened when we opened a farm, where I spent my childhood and teen years caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between. Recently, I had to say goodbye to my heart dog, Odin. While the loss was profound, it’s left me with a lot of extra love and care I’m eager to share with other animals. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I’m especially skilled in caring for dogs with medical needs or special routines. Whether your pet needs gentle patience, active play, or specialized care, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience and genuine love to every animal I meet. I work part-time at the airport from 9:30-3. I am off 3 days a week so those days I am able to be home all day. I currently care for one well-behaved, crate-trained dog in my home. While we don’t allow dogs on the furniture, we go out of our way to make sure our pup is cozy, happy, and—if we’re being honest—a little bit spoiled. Comfort and care are always a top priority.

“Liz was great! She arrived on time, sent pictures of our girls, and was very professional. Somehow she even won over our reclusive cat within hours of being at our house (it took me years). We are already looking for more opportunities to choose Liz again.”


“Absolutely amazing care and such a sweet person. Carla came over before our doggy staycation to meet Blaze and Luna and they were immediately in love with her. We got daily update photos and they seemed to be living it up! Thank you so much Carla!”


“Nicole was great with our two dogs. My bigger dog is not too keen on getting close with other people, but she absolutely adored Nicole! So much that I think she wanted to go home with her lol. I know my dogs were treated well while we were on vacation. Will book with Nicole in the future. Thanks again!”


“Triston took great care of our dog! She’s super timid, and she was great with Triston. He sent pictures and updates, and he was efficient with communication. We are traveling again in a few months, and we’ve already booked him!”


“Samantha has been reliable and very responsive before, during, and after dog sitting for our sweet Willow! She has shown patience while Willow warmed up to her, which was very comforting to know she was well taken care of while we're away. I highly recommend Samantha and am excited we've found a great dog sitter for our girl!”


“Clara is amazing! She made us feel completely at ease knowing that our pups were going to be well taken care of. She’s a great communicator and sent us updates regularly if our pups while we were gone. I also have to mention how she left our home spotless! We’ll be using her again for sure!”


“Juliet was communicative, reliable, and friendly when watching our dog over a long weekend. She sent photo updates and it was obvious she genuinely cares about your pet feeling safe and relaxed. She was great about asking about our dog’s routine and following that to a T. Highly recommend Juliet for your dog watching needs!”
