Allison recently stayed with Maisie again for 4 days. I say “again” because we are repeat customers of Allison’s. she is such a great dog/housesitter. I know I can travel without worrying about Maisie’s care and without the hassle of taking Maisie someplace else. And the condo is spotless when I return. Thank you Allison!

Lori took very good care of our 2 very different dogs. One has anxiety issues and one is so little and hates being alone. We had to be away for 8 days, and since this was our 1st time using this service we were a bit nervous...but it all turned out fantastic and I feel so much better about leaving my girls. I will be using Lori again and highly recommend her to care for your 4 legged fur babies.

Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.

I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

We were apprehensive leaving Joey with someone we didn’t know due to some special needs but felt at ease when connecting with Dawn during our meet and greet. Dawn was great and Joey was well cared for. She provided us with updates and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We’ll definitely ask Dawn to care for Joey again!! Thank you Dawn!!

Kenrda was fantastic! She offered to come by and meet the pups a few days before the booking to make sure all things were comfortable. We really appreciated that so the pups could meet her and we could get a feel for how they were with her and for my wife and I to meet her as well. When she was here she paid close attention to feeding instructions and other details etc. and took notes. Kendra is very professional, kind, a relaxed vibe, on-time and great with the pups. She sent us updates on potty breaks, food intake and pictures when the pups were chilling out, with great response times anytime we reached out to her to check in. We could not tell someone was at our house when we returned. We appreciated her being very clean and respectful of our home and of course our pups. Will will re-book with her again for sure. Thanks Kendra :-)

Mikayla was fantastic. She stayed in our home for a week to take care of our two dogs, Rudi and Eva, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when we returned. The house looked great too! We especially appreciated the updates she sent while we were away, they gave us peace of mind to see photos and hear how things were going. This was our second time booking with Mikayla. We trust her to care for Rudi and Eva, highly recommend!

We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.

About: I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, but especially with specials needs, senior, and small and large dogs. My old fur-baby, Jack, was special needs (born with scoliosis) and I did the majority of care for him. He lived to be 17 and a half. I work from home with a relatively flexible schedule. During the weekdays I am available for daycare, pop-ins, walks, and house-sitting. On the weekends I am available for boarding and overnights. I live in an apartment but am very active and can ensure plenty of outside time if desired. My complex also has a large fenced-in dog park area. I have one dog who is very friendly and can keep your dog company and play with. I am available to go to your place as well if prefered.
