“We were extremely happy with Kelly's care of our dogs, Tanner and Salem, while we were away! She was there at the right times to let them out, feed them, followed our instructions for Tanner’s meds, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Tanner and Salem seemed very comfortable with her. We will definitely be using Kelly again in the future as she seemed to really enjoy caring and playing with them.”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our pups! We felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home. It was amazing to get away without worrying about our boys. She played and cuddled with them. Sent lots of pics and updates too. Will definitely book her again.”
“Zana was wonderful with my Lulu and Solo (senior Yorkie and adolescent cat). She got them to warm up to her quickly and she kept them and my home in good order for an entire week. I appreciated the regular check-ins and photos during my time away. AND she was a real trooper despite a couple of unfortunate incidents in the neighborhood with some wanna be car thieves. I would highly recommend Zana!! She will love your fur babies as her own. And she’s very patient with a somewhat anxious pet owner.”
“Amelia was helpful, responsive, and incredibly responsible with both my pups and my home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their dogs. The pics she sent me throughout the day were welcome and her amiable demeanor helped myself and my dogs relax.”
“Jennifer did so great with Reese for the week!!! She sent lots of pictures and I know he got plenty of outside time and playing in his pool which he loves! She did enrichment activities with him!! He can be extra energetic but she did so great with him!!”
“There aren't words to describe my appreciation for Victoria as our dog sitter on Thursday night. I remember reading her bio and thinking... she has vet tech experience, but of course we won't need that. Life happens when you have to go out of town and there is no one more caring, willing, and able to care for your pets when the unthinkable happens. My doggo somehow contracted pancreatitis and Victoria ending up taking her to the vet in an emergent situation when I was out of town. I greatly appreciate her insights and knowledge and genuine care for my doggos. I look forward to booking her again in the future, with the piece of mind that Bruno and Jean Grey will be 110% taken care of.”
“Claire was wonderful and I highly recommend her! My dog needs some extra attention and Claire went above and beyond, would definitely have her house and dog sit again!!”
“Stokely was great with the dogs. At the meet-n-greet, they immediately took to him. I felt like they were spoiled for a few days, and it worked out really well. We had clear notes for him, and he ensured things were tidy when we came home. Will definitely use again.”
“Ivy was great! Very responsive and helpful! Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!
“We are so grateful we met Kaitlyn! She took amazing care of our little Lucy and our home over the long weekend. She was very kind, patient and understanding, and helped ease our anxiety as new dog owners and having to leave our brand new baby for a few days. We will definitely ask for her help again!”
“Ryan and Thomas were amazing and super trustworthy! I am so grateful they were available to help with my senior dog. Thank you for being awesome!”

“Mikeyla was amazing with our crazy high energy dog! She put our minds at ease and kept us updated throughout the night with pictures and how Mino was doing.”
“Roberta is awesome! She was so kind and always gave updates on our dogs. She stayed the night 2 nights and dropped in on a Saturday a few times. I would recommend her to anyone and use her again. She even tried to vacum up the dog hair off couch. Thank you”
“Kelsey was great to work with. She was very communicative, sent plenty of photos of the puppies, and responded quickly to messages. She also made sure to clean and straighten up the house before leaving. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I'd be happy to work with her again in the future”

“Great care”
About: I’ve had a pet yorkie for 9 years and had learn a vast amount from him alone. Through my experiences, I have learned patience and perseverance. I have also became more active and responsibilities. I’m currently home for summer break, so that gives me more time and flexibility to care for my and your pets. I will treat them like my own. I live in a small and friendly cul-de-sac neighborhood with friendly, respectful and welcoming neighbors. I have a pet dog that can keep your dog company.

Gibby can be shy, but he warmed up to Jackson quickly, which says a lot! Jackson is a responsible, kind, and intelligent master’s student who approaches pet care with true patience and compassion.
