“As always, Sorona is amazing! Our dogs love her so much! She is a wonderful sitter, and super flexible. Cannot recommend her highly enough - she really is fabulous! Thanks for another outstanding job!”

“Traveled out of state for Christmas and had the best gift from Izabelle! She stayed over in our home caring for our little Milo, who can be a little much and who needs someone with a lot of patience and understanding. Izabelle did just that and more, during the busiest time of year! Izabelle was a great house guest and dog sitter and would very much so, recommend her to care for your 🐾 loved ones!”

“I can’t give Erica enough stars, she is absolutely amazing. During my recent trip, Erica stayed at my place and took care of my pet for ~ 2 weeks. She was quick to gain the trust of my anti-social cat, she communicated with me nearly daily, and my cat was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Erica also was an excellent house guest and left the place in great/tidy condition (probably better than I had left it). Thanks again Erica for taking such great care of Toed!”

“Benita took great care of our dogs and house. She managed to still walk and play with them in the icy and cold weather. She probably threw the ball at least 2,000 times for our crazy younger pup. Her communication and updates were very frequent. Our dogs were really sad to see her go. We would definitely book again!”

“Bradley did a fantastic job house and petting sitting my 2 dogs and 5 chickens. He was a good communicator and followed instructions perfectly. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter.”


“Maleah was awesome with our girl Isla. She took great care of her while we were out of town and made sure she was well exercised and socialized. Thank you to Maleah we will absolutely be booking again with her!”


“Jazmine did great with my two dogs! I was in an area with spotty cell service all week and felt very comforted knowing Jazmine was caring for my dogs! She even had little report cards for them when I returned. It was so sweet!”

I am committed to providing excellent care, which would include daily walks, bathing (if necessary), dog park, activities, etc. I am willing to adjust to your dogs needs and I will happily maintain your home while you are away as well.

I provide care in your home so that your pet will not be uncomfortable in a different environment, and I can easily make your pets routine my routine.
About: I’m a dedicated cat mom who understands how much our feline friends rely on trust and routine. Since adopting my cat last year, I’ve learned firsthand how much patience, observation, and care it takes to get to know a cat’s unique personality and habits. This experience has truly expanded my life and deepened my appreciation for their independence, curiosity, and warm companionship. I have open availability during the week for drop ins, house sitting and walks. And make sure to update my calendar every 2 days. Please check back or message me if you have any questions. 😊 To me, caring for pets is more than feeding or cleaning. It’s about creating a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, understood, and valued. I strive to make every pet feel that in my presence, even when you’re not there.
“Ilona was completely awesome. I cannot recommend her enough! She was super patient with our dog and kept us very updated and shared lots of photos. Super grateful to have found her!”

About: I have spent most of my life caring for rescue animals. I grew up on a farm that rehabilitated race, horses and have continued to adopt and love animals in need. I have dog grooming experience, training, basic first aid/medical care (old pups and special needs).

We would love to discuss how we can bring you absolute peace of mind. Our daily life is structured around the well-being and enrichment of our dog, Dwight. As Nichole has worked remotely for years, our pets receive consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. We are early risers, starting with a morning walk and breakfast at 6:00 AM, followed by frequent outdoor breaks every few hours. We prioritize nutrition and long-term health; Dwight follows a specialized diet of raw food, kibble, and daily supplements (turkey tail, green-lipped mussels, cognitive support, and CBD). Our evenings typically include a long, stimulating walk at Shelby Park. We are also diligent with grooming, providing weekly baths and nail maintenance to ensure they stay clean and comfortable. In our own home, our routine is completely centered on our pets—they are never left unattended for long periods. Dwight is always nearby while Nichole works, allowing us to maintain a watchful, attentive environment. We utilize enrichment tools like lick mats, Kongs, and snuffle mats to keep their minds engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we mirror the care we give our own. Every pet’s unique schedule—from feeding times to bathroom breaks—is strictly followed. We are highly experienced in administering complex medications and supplements. We understand that a change in routine can be stressful for animals, so our priority is to provide a calm, affectionate, and predictable environment. We are respectful of your home’s boundaries and will keep you consistently updated so you can travel with complete peace of mind.

“Sharika was amazing with Yuna. She is super kind, friendly and sweet. It didn’t take long for Yuna to warm up to her and want all her attention for the night. Before meeting Yuna Sharika asked several questions about Yuna to make sure she knew everything she needed to know about her. This really reassured me and made me feel very comfortable leaving her with Sharika. She kept open communication with me the whole night so I didn’t ever feel worried about Yuna. I will definitely be rebooking Sharika in the future P.s. Sharika even walked Yuna in the morning while she waited for me to come back and I didn’t even ask her too. She is a lovely girl and I highly recommend her ❤️❤️”

I maintain a clean living space and provide enjoyable interactions with pets both inside and outside the home. When leaving the house I make sure to go through a checklist of things needed to be done to make sure the house is exactly as I found it. Harnesses and leashes always put on to go outside, doors locked and pets in protected spaces they need to be when I have to say goodbye.
