About: Since I was a kid I’ve taken care of dogs, not just my own but also friends and family. I have experience with almost any breed and all ages. I also was a dog bather for a year. I’m currently working only 4 days from 3pm to 9pm. I will have plenty of time to spend with your babies and have the best time. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry baby company. If need it I can easily crate either my dogs or yours no problem!

“Emily was amazing! She took care of our Bailey for two weeks. She’s attentive, caring and easy to work with. She followed all our instructions, kept up communications and daily pictures. She was responsible and respectful at our house but also gave our fur-baby attention, snuggles and diligently kept up with his special care, and daily walks. I strongly recommend her services and would be happy to hire her back.”


“I am a returning customer and Tatyana always does a good job with our pets. She’s very communicative and sends us updates on our pets! I appreciate all she does when she stays with our pets!”


“We are so grateful that Christine was available to watch our 2 dogs all day/evening while we were on a day trip! She was so communicative and shared tons of pictures and updates for us which helped us feel at ease. She was very responsive and helpful if we needed her to do something specific with them. She left the home clean too. We came back very late to happy and tired dogs and would 100% use her again!!”

“Maria was great watching Layla and Caroline while the family was on vacation. She took the initiative to even bathe the dogs. That was so sweet.

I would definitely hire her again.”

Ryan N.
“I have a shy little terrier named Maeve who struggles with separation anxiety, so I needed someone patient and understanding to watch her while I was out. Ryan knew exactly how to interact with her to earn her trust and help her come out of her shell. I always felt completely confident leaving Maeve in his care. I also hired Ryan for training, and in just a couple of sessions, he helped me get her on a regular feeding schedule, improve her leash skills, and boost her overall confidence. I highly recommend Ryan.”


Lindsay P.
“As an owner of a very anxious and fragile dog, I’m very protective over who I let watch my pet. It’s rare for my dog to bond with anyone outside of our home, but Lindsay has always made my pup feel comfortable and safe. I notice that Lindsay’s approach is patient and understanding when it comes to building a connection with pets. She is dedicated to establishing or following a routine that aligns with an owner’s desires while practicing excellent communication skills. Therefore, this makes her extremely reliable and easy to count on. Another essential quality that Lindsay demonstrates is how gentle and caring she is with animals- often treating pets as if they are her own. Her responsibility and experience is exactly what every pet owner needs when choosing the perfect sitter.”
