“Grace was excellent! She provided updates when needed and was very helpful and attentive to our requests and instructions. We came home to a happy, healthy puppy and a clean house. All we could ask for in a sitter! We will definitely be booking Grace again! Thanks, Grace!”

“Mark is fantastic. He stayed at my house with our 2 dogs for a long weekend. The dogs were so happy and well cared for, my house was clean and in perfect condition. He even shoveled when it snowed! We will 100% have Mark over again.”

“Shiloh was absolutely great! She took such good care of our fur babies and kept our house just as we had left it. She even stayed an extra night when our flight home got canceled without any hesitation. We are so grateful and I would highly recommend her services!”


“Jennifer did a great job and our pups were very happy! She kindly dealt with us coming home in the middle of the night due to a sick child. Somehow even with our surprise entry home, the house was spotless too. Thank you so much!”


“There are not enough words to describe Gail's ability with dogs or her attention to detail. She provides pictures, observations, and took care of our pup like she was her own. We couldn't be more grateful.”

“Joe was great with our dog Junior, very attentive, very punctual, we could tell our dog Junior really liked spending time with him. We will definitely be using him the next time we need a sitter. We couldnt have been happier and more at ease. He was great!!”

“Judith and Cynthia were terrific. Pets were happy upon our return but I could see they were relaxed and had been well cared for. We will definitely seek these sitters out in the future. Thank you!”

“Becca was wonderful! She was able to watch Tazer on short notice over a holiday weekend. She sent updates and photos letting me know how he was doing. I have never had someone new watch him before and she said he adjusted well. It was such a relief knowing I could get away and he was in great hands. I will definitely be using her to sit again.”

About: I grew up with dogs, I have a border collie myself. I can do walks, bathe, clean up after, comb, brush teeth, and give medication. I'm currently working to save up for Uni. I have open availability with my current job so I work outside of that. I get my schedule 3 weeks in advance and can ask for time off 4 weeks in advance. Fully depends on the family and the pets. If you have them sleep in pet beds, they sleep in pet beds, if they sleep in human beds, they sleep in human beds. It's my understanding alot of pets perfer schedules or not too much change, so I'll do my best to hold my care to the standard for the home. ❤️
“Lauren did a great job. The dogs were happy and she sent regular pictures to let us know how they were doing. She is easy to communicate with and we will definitely use her again!”

“Indre was the best sitter I could have asked for. Not only was it short notice, but I also returned early in the morning. She sent messages throughout the day, asked all about Sadie to make sure she knew all the specifics, and sent many photos. Indre took amazing care of my old dog and really treated her like her own. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Megan was amazing! We've never had a more understanding sitter. Even after our plans changed (too many times to count), Megan was awesome and helpful and extremely responsive. We got tons of photos and the dogs looked very happy. Definitely book her!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was 10 dogs, cats, horses!! I have 5 Siberian huskies myself! I love and adore taking care of animals! Always treat them like they’re my own! Right now I’m pretty much available all day. I can do overnights during the week and weekends, dog walking, stopping in for check ins! I have a fully enclosed backyard I have other dogs to keep company. If not I can always stay with your animal at their home where there are comfortable in they’re familiar environment!
“Our experience with Samantha was overall amazing! The day before we were due to travel, one of our cats got very sick and our travel day was actually spent taking her to an emergency vet. We didn’t know when/if we would be traveling, but Samantha was super communicative and understanding through all of the uncertainty/changing plans. We ended up cancelling our trip, but we would love to work with Samantha again in the future. One of our cats is very skittish around new people, but she let Samantha pet her quite quickly so I was grateful to find someone Baby Grace was comfortable with.”

“Carrie was absolutely fantastic. She watched our 3 pups & stayed at our home while we were gone. Our girls were spoiled and well taken care of and she left our home in great shape. I would 100% recommend Carrie to anyone looking for a great sitter for your fur babies”

“Caroline is incredible. I have one fur baby that is easy, and one that is a bit difficult due to medical issues. Our male can be a bit difficult and reactive. We met with Caroline and she listened and heard everything we told er about our babies. She asked a lot of question, which was fantastic. She just spent the past 2 days with our babies. She not only earned their trust, but their love. Caroline spent time with them getting to know them, took them on walks, and was fantastic in our home. We know that are dogs are in good hands with Caroline. We will definitely be having her back.”

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always surrounded myself with them! In my own family, I've owned dogs ranging in size from 10 pounds to 170 pounds and cared for both puppies and seniors! I love helping care for both dogs and cats when their humans have to be away and also have experience administering a number of medications, including daily pills and insulin for more special needs pups. I also have lifelong experience with farm animals and have no aversion to rodent friends, so I am comfortable with a very wide range of animals. I currently have 2 kitties and a horse of my own, who I love deeply and am looking forward to helping fellow pet owners and being someone they can trust completely with their animals while they have to be away! I'm currently working on a flexible schedule that allows me the freedom to be there for both my own animals and those that are trusted in my care I prefer to tend to pets in their own home as this is the environment where they feel the most comfortable; I think it's all about adjusting to their life when I'm caring for them and not the other way around

Kaitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone for the long weekend. My cat has a special wet food diet, and she was able to feed him on time every day. My cat is very social, and she spent time visiting with him. Shared photos and videos during every visit. I will be hiring her again!!!!

Shiloh was absolutely great! She took such good care of our fur babies and kept our house just as we had left it. She even stayed an extra night when our flight home got canceled without any hesitation. We are so grateful and I would highly recommend her services!
