Laurie did a great job with my dogs. One of them needs a little extra TLC, and support. She was able to make him feel comfortable while I was gone on a work trip. I would recommend Laurie for sure and will be using her again in the future.

Heather visited with Ruby before and were friends from the beginning. She was on time at the agreed hours and took care of Ruby with no issues. I found her to be friendly, reliable and pampering towards Ruby. I would not hesitate to have her take care of Ruby anytime. Thanks Heather, till next time!

I could not recommend Alison enough - she was beyond amazing! We have a rescue dog who is very fear aggressive and Alison took the time to come meet with him to see if they’d be a good match. She is so patient and kind, and that’s all we wanted for our older rescue. Alison also communicated with us on everything and was very timely. I came home to a relaxed, well taken care of pup. 10/10, book with Alison!

Thomas is hands down the best dog caretaker I have ever used; truly appreciate the care he provides! There is always a sense of stress and worry when traveling and having to leave my fur child behind but we did a greet and meet beforehand and Thomas was amazing with my baby boy from the start! Thomas was very supportive, responsive and genuinely cared for Buddha while I was away; going above and beyond expectations and cared for the wellbeing of my dog. Words cannot express how thankful I feel but here’s a shot, THANK YOU THOMAS!

About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.

I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! From the moment we first reached out, her responsiveness was exceptional. Appointment requests were always answered within minutes, making scheduling incredibly easy and stress-free. One of our biggest concerns was having someone we could truly trust in our home—and this sitter exceeds all expectations. She respected our space, kept everything tidy, and we always felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such capable and reliable hands. What truly sets Tessa apart is her remarkable attentiveness to our dog’s special needs. Our aging Weimaraner has a unique diet and medication schedule and some specific behavioral quirks, but Tessa took the time to learn every detail and made sure our dog felt happy and safe. We regularly received thoughtful updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while away. If you’re searching for a quick-to-respond, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter, look no further. Our experience has been nothing short of outstanding!

Amanda was reliable and flexible. We came back early and she switched her time for Charleys final visit. She spent time inside and out, as Charley enjoys sitting outside in her stroller, birdwatching, and she was understanding with the occasional hisses of Charley feeling unsure.. Definitely will call her again!

About: Taking care of animals is one of my biggest passions. Growing up in Florida, I have been surrounded by all kinds of animals and family pets and truly can't live without them. I've had dogs of varying sizes, from chihuahua to doberman, and dog walking is my absolute favorite activity. I am also the worlds biggest cat person as I currently am mom to 3 cats, Sasha, Isis, and Frank!! I do absolutely wonderful with cats and am very good at taking care of them and understanding their needs, their boundaries, and their social cues. Not just cats and dogs I've also had bunnies, fish, turtles, and birds as well so my love for animals goes deep. I understand how important they are to us so I would take care of any pet like they are my own. I work from home so I can take care of pets every day. I wake up at 7 am to begin taking care of my cats. I have availabilities 7 days a week. If your pet has a specific routine just fill me in on the details and I will treat them as if they were my own! I live in a home with a backyard and multiple rooms for space for pets. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where I can walk dogs for miles and miles! If a pet requires any type of specific space, I have room to provide it for them.

Katy took care of my three dogs for the weekend while I was out of town. She was quick to respond and kept me updated with photos and notes about how they did throughout the weekend. The dogs were so happy and well cared for! It was comforting to know my pups were in great hands while I was away. Thank you, Katy! We look forward to seeing you again :)

Samantha was absolutely amazing with Quinn! I can tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals and makes yours feel loved and doted on. She was reliable, professional, and made sure to keep me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My quinn was loved on, well cared for, and extremely comfortable with her from the moment they met. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure all of his needs were met, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitting experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!
