“Kathryn has watched our 3 dogs numerous times now and she always does a fantastic job. She gives us timely updates and goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are well taken care of while we’re gone.”
“Peggy (Margaret) was absolutely fantastic! We had to leave our 5 month old bernedoodle puppy (Ralph) for a week and it was our first time leaving him. Ralph is in his crazy puppy stages which includes him being a land shark but Peggy was amazing. We appreciated her consistent updates with pictures. We felt so at ease being away from Ralph. We will absolutely hire Peggy again. Ralph was very well taken care of and Peggy also went above and beyond with taking care of things around the house such as cleaning up. Thank you so much Peggy for all that you did for us! Us and Ralph really appreciate it and we hope to see you soon!”
“Jess was amazing taking care of all of our animals and our house while we were gone for a week. I would highly recommend her and the fur babies absolutely loved her. She provided updates and photos just about everyday. A++++”
“Patrick did an amazing job pet sitting our two-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback while we were away! He remembered all the details about our dog training and feeding routines, helped with several deliveries while we were away, and our house looked exactly the same as it did when we left! We really appreciate his help so our RR could stay in his usual surroundings while we were away, highly recommend Patrick!”
“Karolina was super responsive and very great with Darwin and my house for the week while I was at a work conference. Darwin can’t wait for my next work trip so he can hang out with her again!”
“Maani was phenomenal with Bronson and keeping in touch with us. She constantly was sending photos and keeping us up to date on how he was doing. Him and her dog seemed to have gotten along very well and I think he enjoyed every minute. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Ann did a great job with our cat, Cheddar! He really enjoyed her visits, we could tell by the photos she shared. She was also very kind and understanding of our need to book last-minute, which we really appreciated.”
“Bailey was the perfect sitter for our dog Cooper. Bailey was polite, consistent, trustworthy, communicative and most importantly, I can tell he really enjoyed spending time with our dog. He took Cooper on walks, cuddled and played with him. He even asked if he could take Cooper to a farmers market!! We said yes of course. I recommend Bailey 100% and will be using him again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and know how they should be treated and I don't scare easy no matter the size of the dog they will be loved liked my own. I do have a full time job that is 9-5 but work mostly from home and can be flexible on the times i come visit I will follow all the rules and ensure your pet is safe within your home and care for them as they are my own pet
“Eliza stayed with our 3 dogs while we were away and we could not be happier with how she cared for our dogs and our home! Do not hesitate to hire Eliza. Her communication, work ethic and care for the dogs is top notch.”
“I was very pleased with our sitter Katelyn. I received a good handful of cute photos. Updates on their potty time and eating. Both of my pitbull's took to her and we're laying down on the couch next to her within minutes. The best part of this, was that both of my dogs ate their dinner when it was prepared for them with us being gone so long during the day. My eldest dog has a pretty good dose of separation anxiety. It does not look like he felt any anxiety at all, and I could not be more pleased. And the youngest pitbull was happy to have somebody to play with, which she began doing almost immediately. Very, very happy!!”
“Katherine made herself available at the last minute to watch our home and care for our Moose and did such a great job. We got tons of photo updates and she was very communicative. Moose actually spent the morning after our return looking around the house for Katherine as she misses her already!”
“Stacie was fantastic. Our dogs were impeccably cared for and she anticipated additional needs at our house and asked us if she could take care of them before we asked her. She was a joy and we’ll definitely be asking her again!”
About: Hi! Please call me Em! My first dog was a german shepherd at 10 years old. Since then, I've also lived with a black lab. I currently have a 2 year old weimaraner. I have the most experience working with older/senior dogs and administering oral medicine. I'll ensure your pet is comfortable and has its needs met! I'm currently a college student looking for work over the summer. I have plenty of free time to check in on your pets, play with them, and hang out! As long as I get specific instructions and information about your pets, habits, and behavior, they will be taken care of! I'd love to know as much as I can so I can provide the best care for your pets.
“This was my first time using River and Sarahi made this experience as comfortable as could be for myself and my dog. She was very accommodating to some schedule changes at the last minute for which I was so grateful. My dog Mina gets some anxiety when I'm not around and Sarahi worked with her to get her to eat meals and take walks in an understanding and calm manner. Towards the end of her stay Mina was confidently going for longer walks and back to her eating schedule. Sarahi stayed in my home for 5 days and when I returned it was exactly how I left it! She updated me with pictures and texts daily. I would definitely leave Mina with Sarahi again and I'm so happy she was my first pet sitter for Mina's sake as well as my own!”
“Katherine was great. She was able to meet with us weeks prior to our stay to ensure my husband and I, as well as our two fur babies felt comfortable. The boys liked her right away and I could tell by the photos she sent they really enjoyed her company! The house looked great upon our return and most importantly I did not have to worry once while they were in her care. Thank you so much Katherine.”

“Em is an incredibly thoughtful and reliable pet caregiver. They have helped care for our wide range of animals, including playful foster kittens, our senior dog, and older cats with medical needs. Em is gentle, observant, and has a natural ability to connect with animals of all ages and temperaments. They're also very responsible with giving medications, keeping routines consistent, and making sure each pet feels safe and loved. Knowing Em is with our pets gives us real peace of mind. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
