“Mallory was wonderful watching our dogs at our house for the weekend. She handled our two (sometimes troublesome) pups very well and with no complaints, even when one got a little sick. She was communicative throughout the entire process and shared lots of pictures and updates during her stay to make us feel more comfortable and show us they were happy and well loved. She took excellent care of our house as well. Thank you!”
“Oli took such great care of our pup and house! We loved the updates and really appreciated Oli’s wonderful communication! We always know Maddie (and the house) is in the best hands with Oli when we are away!!”
“Larry and I LOVE Emily!!!! I have booked a few times and she has taken such great care of Larry. Most recently I was over seas and Larry needed treatment at the vet. No questions asked, she sprung into gear to get him the best treatment possible. She is Larry's and my life saver.”
“Amanda is great, helped us out with a last minute out of town pet sit. She is responsive to texts, sent lots of pictures of the pups and made our trip so much less stressful knowing they were so well taken care of! Will definitely have Amanda watch our pups again!”
“Kylie was great! She sent a ton of photos of the cats, sent detailed daily updates, and really eased my mind while I was away for the weekend. She’s great with shy kitties and was able to get my nervous boy to take his medicine. Thanks for being so good with them!”
“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”
“This was the second time Keaton took care of my dog and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet caretaker! My dog got sick right before I had to go out of town and Keaton took the best care of him.”
About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
“Nora was a fantastic pet sitter for my dog. She was very considerate and attentive to learning all the details about my dog. I would gladly have her back again and felt so comfortable with her staying at my home.”
“Erica took great care of our pups and home while we were away. She gave extra special care for our low mobility elderly pug who requires daily pills/eyedrops. She was punctual and gave regular updates as well. Highly recommended, thank you!”
“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”
“We had a great experience with Kaleb. He took excellent care of both our dog and cat, sending regular updates and pictures so we felt at ease while away. He left our home in the same good condition he found it, and most importantly, our pets were happy and well cared for. He’s trustworthy and reliable, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”
“Nina did a fantastic job dog sitting for Gertie and Gussie! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. We highly recommend!”
“Kyle was wonderful with Oakley and staying with him overnights. We came home to a less anxious and angry Oakley and all of our bedding in one piece ….Yay Kyle !!! Would recommend to all that want a well done job”
“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”
“Jenni was a great choice to watch our fur baby overnight because of a last minute trip my partner & I had to take for a funeral. Due to our unexpected time constraint beforehand, she came over the same day of the booking and met our dog Hank & learned his routine. While we were away, she sent lots of pictures & gave us updates every so often so we were always in the know. We would definitely have Jenni watch Hank again in the future and highly recommend her for the pet sitting needs of other folks too!”
“Amelia took really great care of our two dogs with a last minute booking. She was communicative and made sure to send pictures. She left the house just as we had left it. Would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”
“my dogs loved Collette and were happy and healthy when I came home. My home was left when she left as it was when I left for my trip, which means a great deal to me. Highly recommend.”

Víctor was a life saver for my 7lb spoiled toy poodle. At the 9th hour my husband decided he wanted to travel as well leaving us scrambling to find care. She's never been without family longer than a few hours. At the meet and greet, Coco and wouldn't even come close to Victor. He assured me he would be patient and they would become friends. Sure enough, one of the pictures I received was her eventually snuggled up with him for a nap. I was also concerned about the fireworks on NYE and he let me know he would stay with her to endure she wasn't stressed. Will definitely book again and recommend
My doggie absolutely loved Lidiya. When she dropped him off back home I could just see the connection they made! He didn't want to leave her! I could not have felt more comfortable while away knowing he was in good hands. Lidiya sent me numerous pictures of my senior pooch snoozing snuggly in her home. She and her family are animal people, dogs, cats, horses. This was the perfect scenario. I'm so grateful. Highly recommend this responsible, gentle soul.
Nina was very attentive and communicative! Our dog is a senior and I always worry a little bit. But Nina was very thoughtful and thorough in her care! I felt very comfortable away. And at the end of her stay she left us a sweet handwritten card and two Polaroids of our pup! Definitely sets her apart as a dog sitter!
Erica was amazing! She took care of our two rambunctious Aussie Labradoodles with plenty of walks and playtime. She kept us up to date on their daily activities and lots of cute pictures as well. We have already booked her for another stay. We would highly recommend her!
Kristen is so sweet!! Our whole crew absolutely adored her, and she took the best care of everyone while we were out of town. Our shy pup warmed up to her immediately! She sent so many pictures and updates through the weekend and was very responsive! Will absolutely be booking Kristen in the future for our upcoming travels / events! Thank you so much ❤️
One word to describe Christine and that is AWESOME. She took care of my 4 month old puppy for my first time leaving her and she nailed it. She kept me updated with the cutest photos and I could tell right away she was loving and caring for my little girl. She even helped with training as we are in a puppy class. I will use Christine in all my future pet sitting needs as long as she is available, as I hope she always is for me.
Alex was amazing - very professional! He was very attentive to our wishes and instructions, excellent communicator, punctual and all the things you would expect from hiring a pro. The house was left clean and he genuinely seems to care for our pets and enjoy their company. Got photos every day and followed our complicated medication schedule. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned! We HIGHLY recommend!
