“I was looking for someone to not only look after my dog, but my two pet lizards also. People want to take care of dogs but not non-for pets. It was difficult to leave my babies for a week.Mafalda went above and beyond. She loves on her babies like you would want them to. I received photos and videos every day, letting me know my babies were happy. Each pet got love and attention, which means the world to me.I am so thankful to have found her.”
“Christina took care of our Scottie during a quick trip to Washington. She got along well with the dog and kept in touch with us with text messages and picture. She spent the night with Cookie. When we returned the house was neat and the dog was happy. I will hire Christine again.”
“Kimmeth did an amazing job watching our two dogs while we are on vacation for a week. She stayed in our home and was very detailed in following "instructions" and sending daily updates and photos. Our two little dogs seemed very happy and content when we returned. I highly recommend Kimmeth!”
“Robin is fabulous. She sent pictures daily and took very good care of my special needs dog. It felt to not worry about my baby while I was on vacation.”
“Dawn is absolutely amazing! She watched our two kitties for the weekend and was super attentive, sent daily updates, and we came home to a perfect house and two happy cats! I have a hard time trusting people with our animals, but we will definitely be using her again in the future. She is very sweet and caring - we cannot recommend her enough!”
“Payal was absolutely fantastic with our little Ollie. He is very nervous and she made him comfortable and happy. She sent many pictures and videos and made us feel very comfortable being away. We will definitely use her next time we need a dog sitter. It’s very obvious that she loves dogs ❤️”

I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I always supervise playtime and make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for.
“Catherine is amazing. Took great care of our home and 3 Alaskan Malamutes for a weekend. Very flexible with our plans and attentive to all of our dogs’ needs, including medical/health needs. Will definitely continue to work with her!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes dogs deserve all the love, belly rubs, and happy walks they can get!

My flexible schedule lets me give pets consistent care and attention without feeling rushed. Safety is ALWAYS my first focus — keeping doors locked, leashes secure, and routines consistent. I’m attentive during walks and play, and always make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for.
“Amanda was awesome! She was quick to respond and accommodate a last minute overnight. She updated us regularly and followed all instructions. She was able to navigate my older dog’s needs which made us feel at ease while away. We will definitely be using her as our regular sitter!”
“Sean is great with the animals. I will definitely use him in the future. His communication was spot on and his caring personality was perfect. Thanks for being so loving to our fur babies!!!”
“This is the 2nd time Chris has watched our pups this summer for vacations! He sends pix/videos/updates regularly. We can relax while away knowing he is watching over our house & doggies 😃”
About: I’m a dedicated and experienced pet care professional with a true passion for dogs and their well-being. With over 7 years of hands-on experience working in dog daycares, kennels, and boarding facilities, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, pack dynamics, and individualized care. I currently serve in a leadership role at a busy dog facility, where I not only handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments but also help oversee daily operations and ensure every pup is safe, happy, and well-cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, it’s what I do professionally and personally. I currently work in a dog daycare/boarding environment where I care for dogs throughout the day, so my schedule already revolves around feeding routines, structured playtime, behavior monitoring, and overall care. Outside of work, I continue that same level of care at home. I plan my days to make sure I have the time and energy to give each dog proper attention, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I’m very used to balancing multiple dogs while still providing individualized care, and I prioritize consistency so pets feel comfortable and secure. This is something I genuinely enjoy and have built my routine around, I’m reliable, flexible, and able to accommodate different schedules—including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each dog’s needs, routine, and personality, whether they’re in my home or their own. n my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I maintain a clean, structured, and safe environment with plenty of supervised playtime, rest periods, and enrichment. I follow your dog’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m experienced in managing multiple dogs safely, reading body language, and ensuring positive interactions at all times. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and environment. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of one-on-one attention. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy, and I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. No matter the service, my priority is your pet’s safety, happiness, and overall well-being. I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, structure, and genuine care.
About: Hi, I’m Brittany! With 30 years of experience (my whole life), I’ve handled just about every pet dynamic imaginable. I truly enjoy the variety that comes with pet sitting -whether it’s managing a multi-pet household with a cat and two dog siblings, or keeping up with the high energy of a puppy and their 7-year-old Boxer sister. I also have experience with more specialized needs, such as caring for 'needy' or high-maintenance breeds like Pomeranians that require extra attention and patience. I understand that every pet has a different personality and 'love language,' and I’m happy to adapt my care to fit their specific quirks. I’m also very comfortable in multi-pet environments - my family has five dogs, so I’m well-versed in managing the 'pack' dynamic! Whether it’s coordinate feeding times, managing different energy levels, or just making sure everyone gets their fair share of belly rubs, I’m used to a busy, pet-filled home. Note: I do not have any pets of my own in my household, so I can pour my attention into being the best dog and cat auntie!! I have a very flexible schedule, as I am studying for my pilot exam and am mainly home. More time to be present for my furry friends! I have a secure apartment, if you would like me to host them here. There is also a fenced in pet relief area included with the building.
“Nothing brings me more nerves than days away from my pup, my separation anxiety is far worse. Caroline did an amazing job with Thelo! Regular updates on his walks, photos, and giving him the affection he always needs. Would highly recommend her for a house-sitting stay to take care of your beloved pet”

Second time Christina cared for our dog - and a second wonderful experience! She arrived on time, immediately re-engaged with our shy pup, and gave him a fun afternoon with multiple walks and even visits into pet friendly shops. We look forward to having her care for our pup again!
Robin was absolutely wonderful! We have 2 fur babies, dog and cat. She was amazing with them. Our dog is a bit anxious at times and Robin was just the best with her. Robin sent us pictures of their days together. It was so reassuring. We are just so happy that we found her! Thank you Robin!
Catherine was a please to work with through the entire process of contact, meet n great, and actual reservations. She sent us lots of pics of pups having fun in the sun on the pool deck. In fact, once we got home, pups were unphased and asked "when are you going away again so the nice lady can come back!" would definitely recommend.
Caroline was great ! She is very responsive and responsible. She took care of my dog for a full day. Arrived early, left on time, communicated through the day correctly abd send a good amount of pictures. She was trustful and I will let her take care of my puppy any other time I need her.
Amanda was awesome! She was quick to respond and accommodate a last minute overnight. She updated us regularly and followed all instructions. She was able to navigate my older dog’s needs which made us feel at ease while away. We will definitely be using her as our regular sitter!
Sean is an excellent dog and house sitter we can trust. He kept us updated while we were away for the week with pics of our pups and daily check-ins. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation away knowing the doggies were in good caring hands. Thank You So Much Sean!😁
Could not have hoped for a better experience! We are so grateful we found Cassie and her partner. They took amazing care of our two pits while we were away and even left our home cleaner than when we left. From the very first interaction, Cassie was quick to respond and maintained excellent communication throughout our trip. She is trustworthy, tidy, positive, and a great communicator. She also shared sweet photos of our pups while we were away, which we really appreciated. Thank you Cassie!! 🐾
Our doggie had an instant report with Ashley, which gave us a great peace of mind. She cared for our dog like she was her own, and we received cute pics and frequent updates. We came home to a spotless house and a very content doggie!! Will absolutely recommend and hope to have her dog sit for us soon.
If you can handle my reactive, unpredictable, very cuddly chaos gremlin (aka Taz, short for Tasmanian Devil!!), you can handle anything — and Christina did it flawlessly. From the start, she went out of her way for a consult AND a drop-in to make sure my boy was comfortable with her before house-sitting. Also, her communication was top-tier (updates + photos that made me smile all weekend). Not to mention she treated my home with so much care!!! Most importantly, Taz was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when I got back - which is not often the case with prior sitters!! That alone tells me everything I need to know. Christina is truly a gem — we’ll 100% be booking again!
Jennifer took amazing care of our dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly very attentive to their needs. She went above and beyond while we were away, even handling extra cleanup without hesitation, which we truly appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such capable and caring hands. They were happy, comfortable, and well-looked-after when we returned. Jennifer treated them like her own. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you, Jennifer!
This is Susha's second time acting as Ernie's groomer lol. At least, that's what he says. The boy loves getting brushed (and fed and given treats), and Susha does all that like a pro. Additionally, the house was spotless when I returned. Her communications are great, and I highly recommend Susha as a petsitter. Except, of course, when I'm out of town.
Lauren came to stay at our house for a little under a week to watch our dog, Benji. Benji loved her from the start, which was very reassuring since he is a rescue and can be quite nervous around new people. She was communicative throughout the whole stay and went above and beyond to take good care of him. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her watch Benji again!
