“I am so grateful for the amazing care my puppy received! The sitter went above and beyond, keeping me updated with photos and making sure he was happy and well cared for. My puppy is high-energy, and I truly appreciate knowing he was in good hands. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care!”

“Vanessa was an absolute dream come true! From the very beginning she took very detailed notes and wanted to know absolutely everything about our babies so that she could take the absolute best care of them. She was super sweet and very communicative, providing pictures multiple times per day in addition to updates. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone whom is looking for a true qualitative professional to watch their furry babies!! 👍👍👍🙏”

“This was my first time using a dog sitter and Stella made the experience a good one. She’s very attentive and provides occasional updates. She provided me piece of mind and I’d definitely consider booking her in the future.”

“We had a great experience with Christina. She stayed in our home for 5 days with our 12 year old girl Cali. Christina sent texts and pictures daily so we didn't have to worry about how Cali was doing and were able to enjoy our vacation. Came home to a happy dog and a clean house. What more can you ask for?”

I'd highly recommend her!”

“We cannot say kinder things about Catherine, she truly is the dog fairy godmother! We are so happy to have someone locally to watch our two furbabies. She kept our girls safe and happy while we were away and we could not ask for anything more.”

About: I love helping. Especially dogs. And i particularly love big dogs. I grew up with German shepherds and we bond very well. I love nearly every pup i meet. I create my own schedule for everything. Therefore I have a lot of flexibility but also not so much consistency. I am great for last minute walks or drop-ins. I treat every living thing with respect and kindness. I am a waterbearer therefore I like helping anyone or thing crossing my path in need of it.
“Marta is a great pet sitter. She came over two times before I actually needed her to get acquainted with my pets. She did everything that was expected and even sent us pictures while we were away. I would definitely use Marta again.”

About: Hi, I’m Kristina! 🐾 I’ve always had a deep love for animals and understand that pets are family. I grew up around dogs and cats, so I know how important it is to give them the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care. I’m also comfortable following any special instructions, whether it’s medication, training reinforcement, or a specific routine. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐱💛 Currently I am working from home, so 99% I am at home and will be happy to take care of your baby and take a great care of them. Ensuring your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority.I create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels safe and happy. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, providing them regular meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. 🐾 In my home: I make sure the space is pet-friendly, free from hazards, and full of cozy spots for rest and play. Whether your pet needs a quiet place to relax or a fun space to stay active, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel at home. I also have a yard where we can walk even more often, safe and beautiful. I understand that trust is key when it comes to pet care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and care. 💕
“Lauren took great care of our senior dog! She gave us updates and sent us pictures☺️ Also she kept our place tidy - a wonderful house guest! We highly recommend her to watch your fur babies🐾”

“From the second the dogs met Julia they were HOOKED and I just knew I was leaving them in the most loving caring and capable hands. She sent daily updates and I was FLOORED to come home and see all my plants were still alive too! (Only because they’re really finicky and I have a hard enough time keeping them alive and thriving!) and coming home after a long week to see that my house is as comfy and cozy as I need it to be after traveling all day was such a relief. If she’s available BOOK HER you’ll feel so lucky you did!!”

“We had such a wonderful vacation with all our family after a brutal year and a half apart due to the pandemic. Thanks to Laura, we never worried about our home or our dogs. She let us know every day that all was well.”

“This was our first house sitting with David and all I can say is WOW . We did our meet n greet and Tyson took to David right away. He was on time, very interactive with Tyson, We connected with alot of things in commo. This proved to be a first of several on going sessions for house and pet sitting / Thank you David for everything ! Tyson give 5 Paw Prints !”

“Christina was absolutely amazing. Our dog is a service dog and usually is with us 24/7, but we were going into some foreign countries that had a lot of outbreaks of viruses affecting animals and we chose not to take her. It really worried us about where she was going to be, but after meeting Christina and her taking care of her one day as we were doing I told her we can't couldn't take her on it her, we felt confident that we had chosen the right person. She was amazing with Aurora, and I would highly recommend her as a sitter,”
