“Trudy is very caring, timely, shares plenty of pictures, and is easy to communicate with. She wants the best for your pet. We would highly recommend Trudy. We have rebooked with her multiple times.”

“Olivia was fantastic! She sent daily pictures, thorough updates and cleaned up any messes my cats made. She is so sweet and genuine. It’s always a little nerve wracking trying a new sitter for your animals but she made me feel at ease right away and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone.”


“We had Chris do drop in visits for our two large dogs for a weekend. Chris and her daughter went above and beyond what we asked of her. We love our dogs and have high expectations for their care, which she exceeded. They came during a snowstorm and took the dogs out to play in a foot of snow, which they loved. She sent us pictures to update us and left a detailed note about each visit. They even came more frequently than we had asked for. I can’t recommended them enough and will most definitely be using their services again.”

“She has taken great care of my dogs while I'm at work and they need to go outside. Sends pictures as I requested. I recommend her to anyone that needs someone for drop ins, etc.”

“Madison was great! We loved getting updates and pictures after every visit she made. It really put our minds at ease knowing Teddy was being taken care while we were away. We will definitely use her services again next time we have to go out of town.”

“Thea did an excellent job, with notes and pictures that made us happy to see someone caring for our dogs so well! She is very thorough and we would definitely recommend!”

“I was in need of a new sitter for my cat and I found Emma! She was very responsive to my requests for bookings. She even did a meet and greet with Tux and I which was very reassuring. I had a last minute change in plans and Emma was able to be flexible with her schedule. Tux and I already have our next booking set up with her.”

“Zachary did a great job! My dogs took to him right away and he was very respectful. He stayed in communication with me, and made sure the dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely use him again!”


About: I’ve owned large dog breeds and am very comfortable with big personalities and lots of energy. I’m confident handling larger dogs, but I truly love pups of all sizes. I’ll make sure your dog gets attention, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while you’re away. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I genuinely love getting to spend time with others! I work full-time during the week, so I offer drop-ins in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m careful not to overbook myself so every pet gets the time and attention they deserve. My weekends are very flexible, and weekday visits are worked into a consistent routine. I’ll stick closely to your pet’s routine and instructions to keep things calm and consistent. I’ll make sure they have water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and make sure everything is secure before I leave, and I’ll send updates and photos so you have peace of mind.
About: I've grown up basically my whole life taking care of family dogs and hanging out with neighbors and friends dogs. About 3 years ago I finally got my own dog, Mowgli, and we both love meeting new furry friends! We love going for long walks, playing catch and cooking together. I work full time but have a flex schedule, so when I don't have meetings scheduled at the office I work from home. If I am working at the office I always take the dogs on long walks in the morning and then come home during lunch to go for a quick walk and then another long walk after work. However, when dog sitting I tend to work from home during those days :) I tend to leave the water bowl always full for the dogs whenever they feel thirsty and then have a schedule of feeding them 3 times a day (with a couple treats here and there). I love just chilling with the dogs - especially outside when the weather is nice to get some vitamin D. Again, absolutely LOVE going on walks so there will be plenty of those :)

“Madison did a great job! Our Daisy can be a little anxious around new people, but she did a great job of doing everything she could to to get Daisy to warm up to her and be as comfortable as possible! She also was really great at communicating with me and keeping me updated on anything I needed to know about her visits! Would definitely recommend her and book with her again in the future!”
