“Alicia did an amazing job with our 3 behaviorally complicated dogs. She made sure to keep us updated and sent pictures. She communicated very clearly and we knew our home and pets were in great hands. The dogs fell in love with her during the meet and greet. We definitely look forward to having her back for the great peace of mind.”

“William was absolutely incredible! He is so caring and took such great care of our animals and home! You can tell he takes watching pets and homes seriously and we can’t wait to have him back to stay with our dogs and cat, they adored him! Can’t recommend William enough!”
“Kristen was there for us when we needed her. She stayed at the house to give the extra attention our multiple pets need to stay in their routines while we were gone for an extended weekend. And, she did it over a 'holiday'. She sent pictures, and it was obvious from their demeanor when we returned that they got the care they needed. I recommend Kristen.”
“Keriann took amazing care of our dog and cat. She was very friendly and accommodating and took wonderful care of our dog and cat. She provided us with tons of pictures and updates which we very much appreciated. We would definitely book with Keriann again!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and clients, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, and spending quality time with their pets while they’re away. I have experience administering medicine and giving injections to cats, including caring for my own cat who had cancer and another diabetic cat. I’m comfortable handling pets with special health needs and always make sure they feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work full-time in person Monday-Friday, so I’m generally available for visits before work, after work, and on weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, to help them feel secure while their family is away. I always respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy and following any specific instructions they leave. Most importantly, I spend quality time with each pet so they feel loved, calm, and not alone while their owners are gone.
“Mckinzie treated our dogs so well! They are high energy pups and she took them for many walks and hikes during her stay. She sent lots of photos of them and left our house very clean. She also was intentional at the meet and greet to understand how to give our dogs the best care. Would definitely recommend!!”

“Josh was amazing with my girls! He sent lots of photo updates taking Layla on long walks, she was clearly so happy with him. Grateful he tried all the things I usually do when I’m home to get this picky girl to eat her dinner! Lol plus lots of snuggles for the kitties. Came back to a spotless home too.”

“McKenzie was great! She took fantastic care of my two pups and sent updates throughout the day. She left our place in great shape and even came back later in the day to check on them before I got home.”


“Braelyn was so awesome. She clearly loves animals and took such good care of our house. Everything was clean, bedding was washed, and the dogs seemed so relaxed when we got back. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again :)”

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young. I’ll take care of your fur baby like they’re my own. Walks, hikes, and naps. We do it all! I can teach them any training as well if the pet parent suggests it! I own a hair studio and will be working most Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If I have a dog to care for I will do my best to be working no more than six hours in a day. Before I leave, and when I come home I will be sure to let the dog out to go potty and eat, or go on a walk. I share an apartment with my cat Kali. Our environment is calm and restful. We have walking, hiking, and dog parks around for exercise outdoors.
About: have experience working with pets of all ages, including high energy puppies who need structure, patience, and consistent training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require a gentler approach, medication reminders, and close monitoring. I’m very observant when it comes to behavior, so I can quickly pick up on changes in mood, appetite, or health and respond appropriately. I work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for drop-ins or extended care. I can easily adjust to your animals usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I focus on making pets feel at home, even when their owner is away. I stick to their usual routine, keep their environment clean, and give them lots of love and attention (or space if they prefer that). I’m very patient with shy or nervous cats and make sure they feel safe and cared for at all times.
“Casey was great! She took Nella on many adventures while we were away, and we felt so happy knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely use Casey for future needs- thanks again for your help!”

“Thanks so much to Mitch for helping us out while we had to leave the country unexpectedly. We really appreciated his flexibility, especially when we had to coordinate a mobile vet visit at our home. Thank you again!”
“Lilou was great with Lola, especially during the 4th of July for a night of scary fireworks. She was communicative and responsive all week. She sent pictures of Lola playing and Lola seemed to have a great time.”

“Took great care of my animals and home. Lots of updates throughout the day. Made my vacation stress-free and I returned home to framed photos of my pets. Appreciated the extra effort! Great sitter.”

“Sara was great! Our dog was a little nervous at first and Sara was super patient and willing to come a bit early to make sure our dog was more comfortable. She sent pictures while we were away and stayed with our dog for basically the whole day! We’re thankful we found her and would totally use her again.”

William was absolutely incredible! He is so caring and took such great care of our animals and home! You can tell he takes watching pets and homes seriously and we can’t wait to have him back to stay with our dogs and cat, they adored him! Can’t recommend William enough!
We have used Marissa for awhile now and our family just couldn't be happier with her. Our dog starts doing happy circles when he sees her coming through the window. She sends lots of updates and beautiful pics of our dog having fun while we're away. We almost feel a little guilty coming back! We have referred her to our friends. We just really appreciate having found her.

She was absolutely wonderful! Very kind and easy to communicate with from start to finish. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy dog and a house that was left in great condition. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 🤍

Elise is a fantastic sitter. She was timely, communicative, and took amazing care of our two dogs. She was a great guest in our home and left it cleaner than when she arrived. Our two rescue dogs, one of whom is pretty timid, warmed right up to her. We appreciated her attentive nature and the updates she provided. You can count on her to take care of your dogs and respect your home. We will 100% be using her again, 5 stars isn’t enough.

Chris was an awesome house/dog sitter. My 3 dogs had the best of care under his watch. An extra bonus were the wonderful photos he took of each of my dogs. I felt totally comfortable with his abilities of taking care of my house if there were any issues. My home was kept clean and orderly. I hope that Chris will be available for future sits. Thanks Chris!!!!

Kate went above and beyond not only with our dog Bonnie but with our house as well . She dealt with the power outages like a champ. We really appreciated how communicative she was and how many pictures we received. She kept up with Bonnie’s training so we came home to a well behaved dog. We can’t wait to hire Kate again

Mishel is the BEST house sitter. She is so communicative, thoughtful, sends tons of pictures and it is so obvious she cared about our pup. She left the house spotless and went above and beyond in every way. Could not recommend her more. Pretty sure our dog loves her more than us. :)
