“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful, and highly recommend her to anyone. She was extremely kind, caring, and confident with handling our two dogs. Our dogs can be quite the handful and she took excellent care of them, providing frequent updates and pictures so we never had to worry about them. I will definitely be reaching out to Stephanie again anytime we need a dog sitter.”


“Vanessa did a good job taking care of my dog and left my place very clean. She was communicative and arranged a meet and greet prior to dog sitting. I would recommend her and will be using her services again!”


“It I could give 10 starts, I would. Malia is a kind, animal-loving professional who not only takes great care of your furry companion, but also take care of your house like it’s her own. I came home to a content, happy kitty and a home that was impeccably organized and even smelled like fresh laundry (?!). Such a relief to see that my cat had a great time while I was gone. Malia also takes the cutest photos of your pet. I will definitely book Malia again in the future whenever I go out of town.”


“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”


“This is the first time we have had a pet sitter come and stay in our home. We had a wonderful experience with Gabriela and would definitely hire her again. She was easy to communicate with and sent us tons of pictures of the animals. It made our get away so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Would highly recommend Gabriela for all your pet sitting needs!”


“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”


“Diana was great with my dog! She understood his behavior and handled him really well. She took him on so many walks to the park that I'm sure he wishes I would go away and leave him with her more often!”


“I love having Sejla come and stay with my dog and two cats. I know that they are going to be well taken care of and loved and nurtured just as if I were home. She is amazing and I know when I go away I will be able to do so knowing with full confidence my fur babies are in great hands.”


“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”


“Kate did amazing job with our dog! We were a little nervous about in home sitting, but it seemed like a really good option for our dog, and Kate made us feel completely at ease about it. Kate communicates very regularly and we loved getting daily updates from her. She left our home spotless so we could relax after returning home and, most importantly, our dog was very clearly well taken care of. We would highly highly recommend Kate. Thanks Kate!”



“Jaime was very patient and great with both of my dogs! My male dog can be a little weird at first but she handled him well! I received the updates I wanted and she was very fast at responding! We already have her planned for another stay!”


“Lindsey was absolutely amazing! She shared so many photos and it was evident she truly cared and connected with our doggies. She also left us the sweetest welcome home note and treats which truly warmed our hearts. Would recommend her to anyone!”



“It was a great pleasure to have Danyel look after our little guy and home. As a siamese, he isn't the quietest cat to look after and has a particular set of routine he needs to follow but Danyel looked after him to the T! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and went above and beyond the required ask to make sure our home and cat is burdened free by the time we got back from our trip. Thanks Danyel!”


About: I truly love animals and treat every dog or cat like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or simply keeping your pet company, I bring a warm, friendly, and attentive presence to every visit. I’ve cared for animals my entire life — I grew up with a family dog, bunnies, and even a tortoise! I raised my corgi mix, Lilo, from puppyhood and understand the consistency it takes to support pets through every stage of life. I also have experience with senior pets. I’m available throughout the day and can dedicate as much time as needed to care for your pet. Whether it’s extended stays, drop-ins, or walks, I’d love to make your pet’s care a part of my everyday routine. I’m currently searching for my next remote job opportunity, which means my schedule is quite flexible. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. When boarding, I can make arrangements for my dog to stay elsewhere for your pets' comfort. When house sitting, I follow your specific instructions, tidy up, and always treat your space with respect. I will happily send photo updates so you can stay connected while you’re away. If your pet has special needs (mobility, diet, etc.), I am even more detail-oriented with my care! I have experience with oral medication, eye drops, anxiety, reactivity, incontinence, visual/hearing limitations, and more.

“Mèlanie was such a sweet, calming and understanding sitter. She stayed at our home with 2 of our anxious dogs and cared for them and our home as if they/it were her own. She took regular pictures and sent updates, letting us know that all was well while we were away. We will for sure be using her services again in the future.”


“Alyssa did a great job watching our two pups and house sitting for us while we were away. Communicative and took good care of our dogs….and our house! Would definitely recommend her services.”


“Amani was wonderful! Got photo updates and see how much fun Tea Boy had. Lots of walks, she was communicative and took good care of him. Would have her watch him again in a heartbeat!”


About: Hey all!! Thanks for coming to my page. My goal as a pet sitter is to give you peace of mind that your dog is happy and healthy while you are gone. A bit about me: I’m an environmental engineer that is newer to the area. I was born and raised in the Midwest. I grew up with a Pomeranian named Bella. My family also frequently fostered pets for a local rescue so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and sizes. In my free time I love to go on hikes, try new crafts, and bake. I currently work full time during the week (6:30-4pm) but my evenings and weekends are available. I am also available during holidays. The earlier booked the better! I am a very responsible person. Ensuring your home and pets safety would be my top priority. Making me aware of any safety precautions you would like me to take will help me best work with you!

“Amazing as always. Tracey stays with our pups at our house for extended stays. She's a fabulous communicator, and wonderful and tending to the house and the pups. Our crew is always so content when we return, free from anxiety and visibly well cared for. She leaves the house exactly as she finds it each time, I never worry when she is there :)”



“While my partner and I were in the processes of moving out of state Stacey was amazing! She would walk our dog weekly and was very flexible in accommodating our travel schedule. She communicated with us frequently (via text with pictures) and was very respectful of our apartment! I wish we could have moved her with us. ”

She's very communicative and will closely follow any special care instructions required for a given animal. Kelly also has a great personality and growth mindset, she's always looking for opportunities to learn more and grow as a pet owner. She'd be a great person to partner with and is always receptive to feedback!”
