“Isabella did a wonderful job watching our 2 pups over 4th of July. Our one dog is afraid of fireworks but she played calming music for him and made sure he wasn't alone or afraid. We highly recommend her and think she did a great job. We got picture updates every day and felt very comfortable that our fur babies were in good care.”
“We were so lucky to find Julie! She is friendly, dependable and very responsive. Her love of animals is obvious. Having such a reliable house/petsitter gives us the confidence to travel more. She has our highest recommendation!”
“Doh was a great sitter for our fur babies. They loved her and even wanted to leave with her when we returned. She was prompt and communicated well before and during the visit. I would highly recommend her. 🐾”
“Cheyenne watched our 11 month old mini golden doodle, Teddy, for 10 days. We were really nervous about leaving him because we had never left him before. Also, he can be a little rascal at times. Cheyenne handled him like a pro! She followed our directions to the letter! Not only did she take care of our puppy, but also took excellent care of our house! She watered our plants and went above and beyond and raked our leaves. I received many photos and videos of Teddy during our trip, which put me at ease. I felt confident that he was in the very best of hands. Thank you, Cheyenne for being an amazing sitter for our puppy! I would recommend Cheyenne in a heartbeat! She is friendly, kind, responsible, and totally trustworthy!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Maddison was incredibly responsive and respectful of my home. She took such great care of my dog, and I could tell my pup was happy and well looked after. On top of that, she was super kind. Highly recommend!”
“Wow! This was our first time working with Deborah and she was fantastic. We have three big dogs, an aging cat, and a snake and I’ve never seen them so relaxed and content after coming home from a long trip. The house and plant also look great. Five stars! We will definitely rebook with Deborah. 🐾🐾🐾”

“Joanna was absolutely wonderful! She sent daily updates with pictures and videos of the pups which we absolutely loved. She was so quick to respond to every message, punctual, and we felt so comforted knowing she was with our dogs while we were out of the country. When we got home our home was immaculate and she had even made little yummy treats for us. They were delicious! We have already booked her again.”
“Kate was fantastic! She took excellent care of our four cats while we were away, giving them plenty of attention and making sure all their needs were met.

She was reliable and attentive, and her communication was clear, prompt, and friendly throughout. We highly recommend her, and we will absolutely book with her again!”
“Levi was amazing with my dog and two cats. He stayed in my home and took care of them during my week-long vacation. I was worried one of my cats would hide from him the whole time, but he won her over very quickly. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him.”
“Tatiana is great with my dogs and I trust that they are being carefully cared for when she's with them. She asks thoughtful questions, always checks in, and leaves the house tidy. My dogs have a great time with her and I would book with her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a little kid! I had my first dog at 9 years old and she’s still with me today, my sweet, little cockapoo, Sakura! I’ve had years of experience, raising Sakura and watching over my own family’s dogs from time to time. Recently, my husband and I welcomed Yuki into our lives, a friendly and energetic labrador retriever. It’s been amazing to see how well he gets along with Sakura and other dogs he meets at the park. Training skills I have acquired are potty training, crate training, various commands, and leash training. Excited to meet your fur babies!! I am a full time grad student, so I have the flexibility of being available during my break from classes! I am mainly available Monday & Wednesdays after 5pm, Tuesdays-Thursdays before 10am, Thursdays before 12pm, Fridays after 12pm, and any time Saturday & Sunday! I will meet your pets’ physical and mental stimulation through walks and play time. I will make sure they are well fed, have plenty of water, take them outside for potty breaks, and give them lots of snuggles!!

We recently hired Joanna to watch our dogs, Milo and Nala, for a weekend, and we were very happy with her service. From start to finish, she was wonderful.

We came home to two very happy dogs and a thoughtful thank-you note from Joanna. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

I don't have enough good things to say about Diana! This was my first time with Diana cat sitting Simba and she did such an amazing job in every respect. She first took the time to do a meet and greet prior to the 5 day stay, was very proactive about asking important questions to ensure that she was able to provide the best care for Simba, and she was very great at communicating and giving detailed daily updates about Simba's activities including his eating habits, sleep schedule, litter box usage, play time and overall mood. Diana also sent many photos and videos daily keeping me up to date with Simba which I greatly appreciate! Overall Diana is a very sweet, caring, respectful and amazing person and not only took great care of Simba, but made sure to be very tidy and take care of my house going above and beyond leaving it spotless when I returned. I'd highly recommend her to anyone. She is my new first choice cat sitter when I am out of town!
Kian was absolutely amazing with my 7-month-old Yorkie, Pikachu! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in his care. He was responsive, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with Pikachu. Kian sent me updates and photos throughout the stay, which was so comforting and showed me just how well Pikachu was doing. Pikachu came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and feel so lucky to have someone I trust this much to watch my dog. I’d highly recommend Kian to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. Thank you again, Kian!
Eunji is an outstanding sitter. I liked her the moment she came for a meet greet, abd, Karley LOVES her. Eunji is an authentic animal lover, great communication, on time, and confident in caring for Karley’s needs. You will have no separation anxiety when you leave your precious pups/ animals with this competent young woman, the best. 🌺
Amazing communication skills and very personable watched my 5 month old crazyyyy puppy for a long time and did a great job he loves her and I came back to a clean house and happy dog, not one complaint. I had a last minute trip and she helped me out so much. Definitely worth the money and trustworthy
Ariana was phenomenal! My dog needs daily medicine and ended up needing to wear a cone while Ariana watched him and she took care of him flawlessly! She texted me regular pictures and updates which I super appreciated! She also left the house in stellar shape. Would love to have her back to stay with my pup!
