1. Madison A.

“Madison was awesome! My pup, Louie, loved hanging out with her and was thoroughly tired out by the time she left from all the walks and play time!! Would definitely recommend!”


2. Kelly G.

“Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again”


3. Aubrey M.

“This is our second time using Aubrey and were just as happy as the first. Our pups love her, she is very communicative, and she is very respectful of our space. She is our go to sitter!”


4. Caeden S.

“Caeden took excellent care of our dog and house while we were away. Communication and response time was all good and we were comfortable having him in our home. This was our first time using Caeden but we will definitely be booking him again.”


5. Sara S.

“When our normal dog watcher was unavailable, Sara stepped in and made my wife and I extremely comfortable to trust her with our two dogs on short notice. Even with the short notice, she came out to meet our boys and answered all of our questions regarding our request for house sitting. Sara was so considerate of our two dogs while house sitting. She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.”




6. Molly E.

“Mollys is incredible, caring and loves our pets! I feel at ease when I’m on vacation and looks after our home and pets. I highly recommend her !”


7. Jade F.
“Jade has watched my two doodles many times and we love her! She's the best petsitter I have had yet and you can really see how much she loves and cares for animals. She has always been available when we need her, even for a last minute trip. She is very trustworthy, clean, has great communication and makes sure to send updates and pictures of the dogs while on trips!”


8. Colleen M.


“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”


9. Kristin C.

“Kristin was a fabulous animal sitter. She fed all three of our cats and both of our dogs which all of them have different food that they eat. She let him out before and after their breakfast and before and after their dinner, she stayed with them overnight, so they wouldn’t miss us . I would recommend Kristin for any of your pet sitting needs.”


10. Ashley E.
“Ashley sat with our two pitbulls, one of them being slightly aggressive and we couldn’t have been happier. She sent photo updates often and I had peace of mind knowing they were in her hands.”


11. Kaylee S.

“Kaylee was wonderful! We did a meet and greet the day before we left, and immediately had a good feeling about her. We have a special needs old dog (deaf and blind), and she listened and asked questions and kept us informed as to how things were going. We would recommend her to anyone, 100%”


12. Megan C.

“Megan was great, the dogs were happy as can be when we returned and she sent us pictures of how they were doing.”


13. Brooke D.

“Brooke took excellent care of my dogs for almost a week. She was responsive and cared responsibly for my two senior dogs who can be demanding and a bit spoiled. Communication was great and she was the perfect house guest. Will definitely trust Brooke with my dogs next time. She is a thoughtful and caring pet sitter I would highly recommend to friends and family.”

About: I have cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, and hedgehogs since I was 13 years old! I often cared for senior cats who were 18+ years old so I am very used to giving medications and special diets. I grew up with dogs and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I recently welcomed a puppy, so I also have experience with puppy training. Our home has one resident dog, but I have a two-level house, so I can keep pets separate for boarding. I am happy to send check-in photos of your little buddy while you are away and provide lots of long walks and playtime! I am currently in between jobs as I focus on my online courses, so I am home full-time to care for your babies! All I ask is 3 days' notice for boarding. Every animal's needs are different, and I am incredibly flexible depending on you and your little buddy's needs! For boarding, I have one resident dog that loves all cats and dogs (he is only 12 lbs, so he is not intimidating in the slightest!). I also have a two-story house, so I am able to keep the pets separated if your pet prefers to be the only animal around.
