“Alisha was great. Cooperative, communication on point, punctual, followed instructions, sent me pictures. I definitely recommend her and would take her help next time.”


“Diego was AMAZING with my dog Pierce while I was away on a business trip (aka not-so-fun adulting). Meanwhile, Pierce was clearly living his best life—walks, snuggles, and the full VIP treatment. Diego even let him sleep in bed like the little diva he is, which Pierce absolutely expects. I got daily updates and the cutest pics, and came home to a happy pup and spotless home. Total peace of mind. 1000% would book again—Pierce is already packing his overnight bag!”

“Hunter is great! We booked him for the first time and have nothing but good things to say. Hunter communicates very well, is great with our animals, and was quick to get our dog medical help when he had an issue during our trip. Thanks Hunter!”

“Nashi was phenomenal! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well right before we left, and it’s always difficult to leave when something like that is going on. Nashi stepped right in and took excellent care, provided updates, and calmed my worried mind. We absolutely recommend Nashi and will be requesting her care again in the future for our pups, too.”

“Jessica did a great job taking care of our dogs & cat. Our cat is epileptic, and she took all of the medication & safety protocols very seriously as we had hoped. Great communication & left our house in great shape. No issues. Would recommend.”
“Lisa was so patient and kind with my senior dog and cat! He was slow to warm up but she put in the time and effort to make him feel comfortable and happy. She sent lots of photos and was very thorough in communicating how koopers day went. She also cleaned my place before I got home from vacation so I could relax as soon as I got in. Best sitter ever!!”

“We had such a great experience with Alyssa this weekend! She took wonderful care of Hank and Hugo, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The boys were happy, well cared for, and even did better than usual with someone new. We’ll definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Chaka was amazing with my girl! She has a special temperament at times and they seemed to get on just fine without me. As long as she is willing I will have Chaka back time and again.”

“Briana is everything you want in a dog sitter. She’s on time, reliable, a great communicator, and most importantly took excellent care of our pups. We received updates and pictures which puts your mind at ease when you are away. I’d highly recommend Briana for anyone needing pet care”

“Ashley was a great sitter, super communicative and sent lots of good pictures. She was very helpful with administering meds for Lilly and overall provided such good care! Would recommend and will book her again in the future.”

About: Experienced in caring for a wide range of pets and providing attentive support for elderly clients. Known for strong attention to detail, patience, and a consistently compassionate approach to every animal’s needs. My schedule is very flexible since I work from home. I’m able to adjust my day around pet care, with only a couple of short breaks to drive my grandfather to his appointments. Otherwise, I’m home and available to give pets consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets for several days at a time, making sure they’re fed on schedule, bathed when needed, and walked with care. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the home exactly as I found it.
“We highly recommend Dylan’s services, especially if you have pets that need special attention and/or you require house-sitting services. Dylan went above and beyond to care for our dogs and our home! Because one of our dogs—a deaf, senior, Boston Terrier w/multiple health issues—is particularly high maintenance and we were to depart quite early in the morning, Dylan was amenable to coming to our home in advance for a meet and greet and to get up to speed w/atypical feeding and fairly extensive medication, our household needs, etc. We really appreciated his willingness on that count! During our 5 day trip, Dylan remained very attentive to our dogs and their needs and sent many photos to document. He was quick to respond when we checked in but did not hesitate to also let us know if he observed anything out of the ordinary. We received loads of pictures each day to let us know all was well. Since Dylan’s primary work is remote, he was able to be onsite with our dogs and our home not only overnight but much of each day as well. Between multiple walks each day, Dylan retrieved packages and mail, watered outdoor plants and more. Then Dylan again went above and beyond for our return. Our quite late return flight meant we didn’t return home until midnight. Dylan was more than accommodating. Upon our return we found happy, well-cared for dogs and our home in as good or better condition than when we left.”
“Clover was absolutely amazing with my 2 high maintenance fur babies. My senior cat and rescue pup both have trouble warming up to people but loved Clover so much. She is warm, caring and understanding and treated my babies like her own. I had a wonderful trip because of the daily updates and pics. We will definitely be using Clover again! I couldn’t be happier!”

“She is reliable and trustworthy! I left my three large dogs with her over the weekend and she sent plenty of pictures and updates. She took great care of them and took them on long walks! She even got my very picky dog to eat something while I was gone! I will definitely continue to use her.”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, which is why pet sitting is something I genuinely love—not just something I offer. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for furbabies of all types, personalities, and quirks. I’ve grown skilled at intuitively understanding what each animal needs, whether that’s high energy playtime, gentle cuddles, slow bonding, or simply a calm presence while their humans are away. When your furbaby is with me, they’re treated like family. I honor their routines, keep their world peaceful and fun, and make sure they feel safe & loved. We’ll spend our time doing the things that make them happiest, and I’ll keep you connected with plenty of photos, videos, and sweet updates—so you feel close to them every step of the way. I am self-employed and have a flexible schedule. Pet sitting is a big part of what I do, but there will be days when I'm out of the house for a few hours or longer (on occasion up to 8 hours, but that's not a regular thing) tending to my other work. For the most part, I have ample availability during the week and/or weekends for pet sitting or other pet care...and I will divulge any prior obligations that would pull me away for large chunks of time before we book to make sure you're comfortable with my schedule during the stay. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the core of my care. In your home, I make sure all potentially hazardous items are out of reach and create a calm, secure environment for your pet. I stay attentive and present—checking in regularly so your furry friend is never left unattended for long. On walks, your dog will always be securely leashed, and outings stay within the routes and activities you’re comfortable with. I honor each pet’s boundaries and follow their cues, letting them “tell” me what they want or don’t want during our time together. I also take home security seriously—keeping doors locked, alarms or lights used as instructed—and will treat your home with the same TLC as I would my own. I’m prepared for emergencies and stay calm and level-headed, contacting you and your vet (if needed) to ensure your pet gets prompt attention. If your pet has any special needs or medical considerations, please let me know before booking so I can give them the most thoughtful, personalized care possible.

Shania was such a great sitter! I have 2 Maine coon kittens that I was nervous to leave overnight unsupervised. Shania clearly loves cats and knows a lot about taking care of them. She made the whole process super easy and the kitties took to her almost immediately. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Loveeeeee the top of the line service! We have 7 babies and finding someone we can trust and actually interact with them rather than leaving them in cages all day was a must! Manny&Rob were AMAZING! Interactions with each pup was definitely made and pups were so in love with them! Will definitely be using them again! Updates and photos were sent which eased the nervousness! Thank you both so much!!!

Matthew was fantastic! He came to our rescue when we were out of town, and our previously scheduled sitter became unreliable and negligible. Matthew made sure our pets were safe and well-taken care of, including our youngest cat who was recovering from a dog attack. Matthew was patient, caring, communicative, prompt with medication, and overall an amazing sitter. We will book him again!

I can not stress Dylan in the BEST! I never worry that my dogs are getting loving care when they are in his hands. Weather pop ins for walks for staying over to house sit, whenever I get back in town they are always happy and calm! My two biggest signs they have been tended too! Will confine to use Dylan, he is my main guy!

Alyssa was fantastic! She came by to meet our dog before her stay, which we really appreciated, and she took excellent care of her while we were away. She was very communicative, responsive, and kept us updated throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Alyssa again and highly recommend her!

Just had an amazing week of vacation thanks to Rory ! I never doubted her abilities to take care of my babies or my home while we were gone. She kept us informed daily and was always available to communicate. Our babies were well taken care of and it showed when we walked in the door ! They had been well loved on. We will definitely use Rory again and again !
