“Jessica was amazing with our dogs for drop in care while we were at Disney. I was not expecting her to send pictures and videos of the dogs so that was so nice to get live updates. She was very accommodating, and so professional. If you’re looking for a dog sitter and need someone on base then look no further. We will be booking her again this summer and we will have zero worries about our fur babies because we know they will be well taken care of.”



“Alexis was very flexible and kept us up to date. We had to make last minute changes to our travel plans and she worked with us very well. She took very good care of our little pup :) Thank you Alexis!”


“Amber did a great job taking care of my cats over the holidays! They are extremely anxious, so having her come to look after them was so helpful! I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Margaret was amazing!! She’s the definition of flexible and was not only available last minute but also accommodated our ever-changing schedule. Our dogs seemed to love her company! We plan to rebook with her.”


“Vanessa was terrific and really put us at ease to leave our pets in her care. She was reliable and responsible with our kitties. They warmed up to her in a few days as she was a natural with them. We really are 100% pleased and feeling great about finding Vanessa.”


About: We absolutely love caring for dogs and treat them like family just like we do with our own two sweet pups (🐶🐶). Your dog will be in loving hands, spoiled with attention, belly rubs, and plenty of playtime! Since I work from home full-time, I’m available every day to give your dog the care and companionship they need throughout the day. Whether it’s active play, calm snuggles, or keeping up with their routine, I’ve got it covered. I’m also very flexible and happy to work with your schedule and preferences because I know how important it is to make sure your pup is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. 💕 Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine and something we truly enjoy. I have the flexibility to give pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, or just some snuggles and companionship.

At home, pets are treated like part of the family lots of cuddles, playtime, regular walks, and a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have a cozy space, fresh water, and follow any specific instructions or feeding schedules. When I’m in a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to minimize anxiety while they’re away. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything clean, and ensure the pets receive all the love, attention, and care they’re used to. Communication is also important to me. I always provide updates photos, and videos, so fur parents have peace of mind while they’re away.

Brooke N.
“I can't recommend Brooke enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! She has an incredible connection with animals, and it’s clear that they love her just as much as she loves them. From singing lullabies to kittens to having endless cuddle sessions with dogs, she always goes above and beyond to make sure the pets feel loved and cared for. I’ve witnessed firsthand how she treats every creature, big and small, with the utmost kindness and attention. Whether it's a high-energy pup or a shy cat, she tailors her approach to each pet’s needs. Her genuine passion for animals shines through in everything she does, and it’s no surprise that animals are immediately drawn to her. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Brooke is the perfect choice!”

Neo O.
“Neo is rather exceptional at pet care. Daily, for the past several years, they have worked in an environment with 2 dogs and 7 cats. Understanding cat and dog body language is a major skill of theirs, de-stressing animals, stopping fights before they start, noticing the signs of an unwell animal and acting immediately on accordance of what the animal needs. They were very observant and aware to even slight changes in behavior”
