“Would highly and sincerely recommend. Incredibly caring towards my little mamas, and so respectful of my space. Made sure to gather all the info he needed from me. Regular updates and communication.”

“Rima was great with all four of our dogs, she was flexible with meeting us ahead of time and took tons of notes on all of the dogs needs. While she was with our dogs she was sent tons of videos and pictures of the pups and ensured that everything at the was in order for us while we were away. We will definitely be using her again and could not recommend her enough.”


“We are so thrilled to have Evelyn sit with Smily while we were away. Evelyn ensured that we were well informed of the goings on with our dog and home, and even went above and beyond (the house was cleaner than we left it, I'm sure. We could tell that Smily was happy and loved! We highly recommend, and look forward to booking again.”

“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”

Merissa kept us updated and send many pics, we felt very comfortable and confident with her taking care of Dane and he was so excitedto have her here With him. Because of our experience, we have already booked her again and will continue to in the future!”


“We booked our second house sitting experience with Brian, and he was fantastic again! He even took our senior puppy to her vet appointment, as we couldn't make it home in time. Thank you Brian for taking such great care of our girl.”

“Barbara was committed through the house and dog sitting and patient when I was unable to communicate quickly due to my travel schedule. My two dogs had lots of time playing outdoors with her, and I feel like her stay helped my younger rescue pup come out of her shell to ‘strangers’ more :) She’s even been easier on the leash since I got home! :)”

“Ava is very responsible and conscientious. She sent lots of photos and checked in when she had questions, as well as responded to my questions. Max was well taken care of while we were away!”

About: I primarily took care of my grandparents’ dog when I was a teenager, but have progressed over the years to caring for anyone in my circle’s pets as needs and vacations arise. I grew up in a cat-only household and haven’t had a pet of my own since I was 13 but I like to treat each animal I come across as if it were my own! I work full time during the day on weekdays, however I work remotely on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This allows for me to be in the home with a pet full-time on those days. I also am typically available weeknights and weekends. I treat each home and pet as if they are my own—With the utmost respect and with as much love as I can share! I am truly passionate about spending time with animals and like helping them not be alone in their owner’s absence.
“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”

“Pamela was great during an overnight visit with my 2 pups. She communicated regularly, sent updates/pics and the dogs seemed to really like her. Will definitely use her services again!”

“I had such a great experience with Joe! He kept me up to date with how my dog was doing while I was away. He reached out with any questions or concerns that came up. He put my mind at ease knowing my dog would be in good hands while I was gone. Definitely will be booking him again in the future!”
