1. Kat J.

“Kat did an awesome job watching my two boys while petsitting at my house. It almost looked as if Jackson (my dog) was disappointed to see me instead of her when I came home. She even watered my plants which look better than they did when I left. Would highly recommend and will rebook in the future!”


2. Casey M.

“Casey is awesome! She was very communicative during our trip and took great care of our doggy and home. Very reliable and sweet with our pup!”


3. Immaculate Z.

“What a great experience! Imma is fantastic. She took great care of our pup and allowed him to stay home and avoid the stress of boarding. She even did the bedding! We highly recommend her and will be using her again.”


4. Eyowyn M.

“I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!”


5. Kylie H.

“Kylie watched my two cats and a dog and house sat for over a week. Kylie is amazing, attentive, a great communicator, and shared cute picks of the pets throughout the week! I will 100% book with Kylie again when traveling and/or need pet walking and visiting when working long days.Kylie is a gem!”

“Meredith was great. She followed all our instructions to the letter and was communicative and friendly. She took great care of our dog and we will definitely use her again!”


7. Jaicey G.
“I cannot recommend Jaicey highly enough! During our recent two-week vacation, she cared for our three dogs and cats with exceptional professionalism and genuine affection. We received regular updates, including photos and detailed notes, which provided immense peace of mind. Upon our return, our home was immaculate, and our fur babies were happy and relaxed. It’s evident that Jaicey cares for her furry clients as if they were their own. We will undoubtedly be using her again in the future!”

About: Hello! I have 9+ years working with dogs professionally. I’m a professional trainer, who also does anything from sitting, walking, being a friend, whatever your pup needs in particular! I have 15 years experience owning dogs, and generally caring for them. I have two wonderful pups of my own. I promise to treat yours just like I treat mine - with nothing but love, care, and respect! I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, personalities, and sizes. Feel free to message with any questions or concerns! Thank you :) I’m currently saving up to move, while doing online school, so my schedule is flexible! I am available most days: morning, evening, or night ! I care for pets by: listening carefully to your instructions and input. I also am well versed in dog body language and behavior, so pairing that with your instructions will help me greatly to understand your pup and make sure they have the best time possible! I will also make sure they of course go out frequently, always have water, are happy and mentally and physically stimulated! There’s many other ways I don’t have room to fit in here so, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out!


14. Ellen G.
About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience with a wide range of breeds. I’ve cared for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention, as well as helped train puppies to build good habits. I’ve also worked with animals who have a history of trauma or don’t get along with others, helping them feel safe and comfortable. Beyond basic care, I genuinely love being active, so your dog won’t just get a quick walk—they’ll get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and engagement. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs training, a senior dog who needs gentle care, or a pet who needs help adjusting, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m working as an intern where I choose my hours so I’m extremely flexible with my schedule to incorporate what is needed! I am eager to spend any time needed. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Whether it’s sticking to their regular feeding and exercise schedule, providing extra patience for seniors, reinforcing training for puppies, or helping anxious pets feel at ease, I adapt to what works best for them. I also make sure they get plenty of engagement—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just companionship—so they’re not just cared for, but truly looked after while you’re away.
