“Jamie is amazing! She stayed at our house and watched our 3 dogs for 4 and a half days and 3 nights while we were out of town. It was the first time we have ever left them all overnight. We all loved her when we first met and besides missing them, I never once worried about whether or not they were being well taken care of while we were away. I left a lot of notes and instructions that I was worried might have been too much, but Jamie really appreciated it. She stayed in contact with us and sent pictures too. She took excellent care of our dogs and respected our home. We would definitely hire Jamie again! In fact, I am not sure if I would ever hire anyone else unless I absolutely had to. Thank you Jamie! 😃”

“Angie was a great sitter for us! We were out of town for a few days and Angie stayed at our house with our two dogs. She was responsive a provided pictures and updates for us. When our dog lost his collar playing in the yard she went out of her way to look for it, and found it, despite the large area she had to search! I was impressed by how clean and tidy the house was when we got home, Angie left our place in perfect condition. We will definitely ask Angie to sit for us again.”

“Stephanie was wonderful with my dog Indy. Lots of attention and wore him out with playtime. She sent lots of photos through the weekend, too. If I could give 6 stars I would. Definitely will use her again and recommend others to as well.”

“Katie stayed at our home and watched our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. She did a fantastic job. She send pictures every day. When we came home the dogs were happy. It was so nice knowing that our dogs were so well taken care of. We will definitely have Katie watch our dogs again!”

“Devon took excellent care of my fur babies. They instantly loved her at the meet and greet and she kept me updated with lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Devon!”
“Ashton was such a blessing to our family. She cared for my 3 doggies and kitty while we were gone. She agreed to watch my fur babies with limited notice and went above and beyond to care for them. She sent me daily pictures, took the doggies for walks, gave them love and stayed later than originally planned to feed them and check on them. Highly recommend. We would definitely use her again.”

“Courtney was the perfect dog sitter! She watched our Roxy for 10 days while we were on vacation during a huge winter storm. Even though it was negative temps she still tried to walk her and she played in the snow with her and just gave her all the love.”


“I highly recommend booking with Ryan’s team! I am able to leave my special-needs pit bull with them and feel so much relief knowing that my boy will be well cared for.”

“Christina and her daughter took a very last minute booking from me for my two pups when I had a family emergency. They were wonderful, as always. My girls absolutely love it when they stay with them! And I always feel so comfortable knowing they are with my girls and watching over my house. Great updates and communication.”

“I was very happy with the job Rachel did for me when she came to my home and pet set for Flash. She left the house in great condition and took excellent of him. She was there for 6 days.”

“We absolutely loved Kat! She was great with keeping us updated with pictures and videos and our dog seemed very well taken care of. We’ve already booked another with her. High recommended!”

“She took great care of all of our animals and was proactive with updates and information. A couple of our dogs can be challenging with their separation issues and she handled them very well. It was very evident all of our animals and our home were well cared for and we felt informed the whole time.”

About: I have been pet sitting for people since I was 12 including just checking in on cats and dogs, as well as house sitting. I am a grad student who has clinicals so I am unable to work full time and also greatly miss my dogs which are back home. I am pretty free most afternoons as my clinicals are usually in the morning. Some days may be more time extensive then others, but most weekdays this is ture. While I will not be housing pets in my apartment currently, I will care for your house with the utmost respect. I will follow any rules about the pets or house that you set.
“Alisha was a fantastic cat sitter/house sitter while I was away! She was very communicative about my two shy cats and made sure that they were well taken care of while also giving them their distance and letting them warm up to her. She is so kind and personable, as well. I’ll absolutely try to book with Alisha again in the future!”
