“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”

“Christina went above and beyond! She did great with our fearful dog, including when she struggled with the new years fireworks. She made sure she got her medicine, went out & ate enough, and got plenty of love. And she did an equally excellent job with our cats. Would highly, highly recommend for house sitting, dog walking, checking in on cats. Thank you so much!”

About: Ever since I was little I have loved animals, so much so that when I was 12 I convinced my mother to let me get a dog, despite her fears of them. I raised, trained (haphazardly 😅), and groomed my dog from a puppy to an adult till she died of heart worms. After, I adopted my sister’s dog when she no longer wanted her. Grooming and taking care of her till I went off to college taught me a lot about caring for an older dog. In between dogs and even now I help my friends with their cats, feeding, grooming, and watching over them when their owners are out of town. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets and I am ready to tackle whatever yours may throw at me! I work part time mornings throughout the week so after I get off I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets. I can devote a great deal of time to walking or sitting. The more time you need the more time I get to spend with your cute fur babies making it a win/win. Typically I like to feed pets around every 3-5 hours, but I am perfectly capable of adhering to any sort of schedule or rules you may have regarding feeding times. I am extremely flexible so if there are any specifics when it comes to the care of your pet I will have little to no problem sticking to your routine.

“It was the second time that we used Mike’s help in looking after our two rather high-maintenance dogs. Just as last time, Mike stayed at our place and did a fantastic job of keeping the dogs happy and safe. While we were away, Mike provided us with pictures and updates every single day. We are very grateful to Mike for his great service and friendly attitude. Look forward to many more of Mike’s stays in the future!”

“Let me tell you: Rachel is the most amazing pet sitter. Reliable, communicative and above all - a magician! She gets my fussy little fellow to warm up and snuggle. He sits on her lap. This is stunning! I feel so confident when Rachel is there. This is an overnight job and Rachel is so considerate and caring of all the little details. She is an ACE.”

Samantha is the best! From the start, she was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and clearly loved what she does. She treated our dogs and cat like their own and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates and photos which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious our dogs and cat were getting tons of attention and affection. When we got home, our animals were relaxed, happy, and clearly had been in the best hands. We would book Samantha again in a heartbeat and highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a truly exceptional sitter.

This was our second time using Olivia to stay the night with our two dogs, and she was great! She knows how to get dogs to feel comfortable around her (both of ours are a bit timid with less familiar people) and she sent us plenty of updates so we could relax while we were out of town. Highly recommend!

Nick is professional, calm, and very thoughtful in how he approaches both logistics and Lucy, which immediately put me at ease. While I was away, Lucy unexpectedly became sick. Nick noticed her decline and notified me immediately, administered her medication, stayed with her to soothe and monitor her, and communicated directly with the vet to make sure she was okay. I truly felt like she was in capable, caring hands during a stressful situation. He sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much, especially given Lucy’s health episode. His communication is clear and proactive, and he clearly takes his responsibility seriously. I would absolutely use Nick again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter.

Stephanie was wonderful! It was the first time I was leaving Zoey with a sitter and Zoey can be leash reactive and has some special needs so I was nervous but she was amazing! She sent messages everyday with pictures so I could see Zoey was comfortable and happy and doing well. Zoey adored her always cuddling with her and she showered her with attention and care! Everything with Stephanie was so smooth so I could easily relax on my trip. Stephanie is a gem!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Justine was incredibly conscientious and took wonderful care of both our dog and our tortoise. She kept us updated with pictures throughout our trip, which really put our minds at ease. Whenever she had a question, she communicated promptly and clearly. We came home to a clean, organized house and a calm, happy dog who clearly felt comfortable and loved in her care. The spontaneous photo updates she sent were such a thoughtful touch and made being away so much easier. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!

Darina was great! She stayed in my home with my dog while I traveled over the holidays. She sent updates twice a day (morning and evening) with pictures and good descriptions of how everything was going. My dog seemed happy in the photos and also when I got home—he even went looking for her the next morning, haha! Darina was diligent about following our typical walking times, and her schedule was perfect to spend lots of time with him too outside of that. She was also tidy and respectful of the space, and she was very thoughtful in cleaning up after her stay.
