“Claudia was great! I was very comfortable having her in my home taking care of my fur family. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat, and they all loved her. She was very communicative and send pictures each day which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting.”
“Mary was attentive and super communicative, which we really appreciated. Our anxious pups were totally comfortable and happy throughout. It was the first time we didn't worry when leaving our babies!! Mary is the real deal,”
“John was fantastic! Our very shy dog with separation anxiety warmed up to him immediately, and our cat loved him too. He sent regular updates and pictures and took good care of the house. Plus he’s a vet! We felt so comfortable and knew our babies were in good hands!”
About: I've personally had dogs, cats and fish in my life almost my whole life. I love animals and am teaching my kids the same love. Some would even say our Luna is a bit spoiled, but hey they are part of the family! I work remote so stopping by at any time works out just fine for me. Weekends I am not available will be taken off our calendar so anything on the calendar is potentially up for grabs on weekends. I am a firm believer in training and love. We don't have an issue with pups on the couch, nor issue with crate training. Each person has there own way of life and my goal is to respect that and provide safety and care for each persons fur-baby. As I would expect anyone to do for my fur-baby!
“Anastasia was so flexible. We needed to leave much earlier than expected and she showed up early at a moment’s notice. As always, our dogs love her. Thanks.”
“Chris took good care of Coco, following our directions and’s her routine. He also left the house in good order. Coco was well and happy when we returned. What more could we ask for?!”
“Linnea did an overnight stay at our house and took care of our two dogs. She was great with our dogs, attentive to various details of their care, and very organized and responsive. We enjoyed her text updates and photos of our dogs relaxing at home. I would highly recommend Linnea!”
“Did a great job house-sitting our pups, and rolled with a chaotic returning-to-home situation to help us out with our three month old. Our pups have never seemed so content after a 3 day absence!”

“We are so glad we found such a nice place for our anxious old dog to stay when we have to go out of town. Hanna accommodated all of our dog's needs. We'll definitely use Hanna again.”
“Kyle was our first dog sitter that wasn't family. He ensured our comfort by doing a meet and greet and a walk before our trip away. Our German Shepherd connected with him so quickly. We loved that he updated us every morning with pictures from their previous day. He has great communication, punctual, kind, and took great care of our dog. We couldn't be happier with our first dog sitter experience.”

About: Ive walked dogs for many years from my own dog to friends or families! I have a love for dogs and enjoy spending time with your furry friends! I am available all day on Tuesday and Wednesdays as well as Thursday to Monday before 4pm. I can walk in the mornings and afternoons. I am also able to do overnights if needed. I lost my cat two years ago to old age and cancer. Although I haven't welcomes a new pet of my own into the home I gave birth to Twin girls!

Sometimes they come with me for walks or drop ins as long as a meet and greet happens where I see a positive interaction between your animal and my babies. If it's not a good match then I either don't have the girls with me or for wont take the boarding request as they live with me full time.

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”
