She’s honest, straightforward, and really takes the time to ensure you feel at ease.

About: I have a profound love for animals and started pet sitting after my dog passed away last may. Your pets safety and happiness is my priority! I currently work at a dog hotel and am a college student, so my free time on some days is limited. Fridays- Mondays is when I am most free. But I can do drop in other days, the time may be limited. I try to figure out what each pet is used to and work from there. Animals love routine, so when taking care of other people’s pet I try to keep that routine as consistent as I can while the owners are away.

“Ally did a fanatastic job taking care of our Cavapoo -- and the home! She was very responsive, caring and attentive to detail ... she made sure he enjoyed long hikes and even a bath. Our Cavapoo warmed to her instantly and I felt total peace of mind leaving him in her care.”

“Dylan was great with watching our Coconut when we were out of town for a few days! He sent us daily updates and we definitely felt at ease. We had some specific instructions with Coconut’s care and Dylan followed through perfectly. We definitely plan to hire Dylan again!”


“Great service, will definitely use again!”


“Ellen took good care of my dog and cat while we were away! She was responsive and sent updates on how my pets were doing. I’d definitely hire Ellen again.”


“I was a bit anxious since Anthony didn't have any reviews for dog sitting. I'm happy to say that I can be the first to commend him on taking care of a very active dog. Anthony was able to navigate through Buddy's initial stomach problems, a developed rash, and a low-battery lock (my bad). He updated me when necessary (I didn't ask for daily photos/updates), and Buddy bonded with him (Shelties can be one-person loyal). I'm so happy that I connected with Anthony and would do so again in a heartbeat.”


“Torana is super responsive and patient with our 11 week old puppy that is still going through potty training and separation anxiety. Really appreciate she took our request last minute so we can run errands and have a breather as new pet parents. We will definitely work with Torana again!”


“Michelle’s an amazing doggy sitter! She catered to our last minute request and adjusted her schedule for us. She did an amazing job sending constant updates and pictures of our baby and truly going out of her way to get to know him. Thank you Michelle!”
