“Zoe was caring and very responsible in caring for my cat. She provided regular updates (with videos and photos) and remained flexible in accommodating my needs as the 8 days I was gone was the longest I had left my cat at home. Will definitely rebook in the future and recommend her to friends!”
“Anita was responsive, courteous and very pleasant. It was my first time boarding our 6 month old puppy (Moose) so naturally I was a bit nervous beforehand. Anita did a lot to reassure me during Moose's stay and I was able to communicate with her regularly. Moose came back happy and tired after spending time with Anita and her family. I would definitely recommend Anita to anyone looking for a welcoming environment for their dog!”
“Amanda was wonderful with our pups ! She was attentive, loving, flexible and kept in great communication the entire time. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and was taking care of my dogs since I can remember! I also was a routine pet sitter for a couple families in my home town and it is my favorite thing to do. Since moving away, seeing and getting to say hi to any dogs always brightens my day so I’d love to help out and get to know your pup! I’ve cared for and pet sit for anywhere from very young puppies to seniors. I love them all! None too big or small. I’m working part time so I have plenty of time for your pups. Occasionally during the week I work evenings but I have lots of availability throughout the week and weekends! I don’t have any pets in my apartment, but I’ve got a good bit of space and I’m right by the park to take them out for walks and have some outside time!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have a dog back in Costa Rica who has a special condition and uses a wheelchair. Caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learned to adapt to his unique needs and rhythm, provide extra support when necessary, and ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of how every pet has their own personality and pace. From energetic pups to those with special needs, I know how to adjust activities, offer affection, and create a stress-free, happy environment. My goal is always to make each dog feel valued, cared for, and truly at home while in my care. Hi! I’m available throughout the week, depending on the service you need. I usually offer dog walks from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Feel free to message me so we can discuss details and find a plan that works for both of us. 🐾 I live in an apartment, with a small space, however the complex has a dog park and a large green area. It is a calm and quiet place
“Lisa was an awesome sitter for my puppy Mattie. This was the first time I have left her for multiple nights and Lisa sent me tons of photos and was very responsive when I reached out for updates or questions.”
“Dyan did a fantastic job taking care of my senior deaf terrier mutt. Her dog got along with him so well and he was clearly happy and comfortable there. Dyan communicated with us the whole time we were gone and sent pictures based on our preferences to make sure we were comfortable with how things were going. She is very responsive to messages and so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend booking with her - I am already rebooking with her”
“Deuce can sometimes get a bit of separation anxiety when he leaves his family. He, however, was so comfortable with Maggie and Moose that he forgot about us and anxiety was gone! Maggie updated us and sent pics throughout Deuce's stay. We plan on using Maggie when we go on our next family vacation. Great job!”
“Once again my boys have come back happy and healthy - I was so worried about leaving one of my dogs as he had a bad back and on medication but I couldn't have left him in better hands. Outstanding care and you really do treat my dogs like they are part of your family.”
“First time our dog stayed with Emma and Marco I was very comfortable they were taking great care of her. Got daily updates (pictures) and our dog was very happy. They treated her as their own. Highly recommend Emma and Marco.”
“Jen was fantastic with Lily. She kept us updated, provided plenty of pictures and is very friendly. We were able to relax knowing Lily was in good hands. We’ll definitely book with Jen again.”
“Nancy and her husband took great care of my two French Bulldogs for a weekend trip. We very much appreciated the level of communication and pictures! They came home happy and tired. Thank you Nancy!”
“Kimberly took great care of Samantha during her stay. She was kind, communicative, and patient, especially as Samantha needed some time to adjust. She kept us informed and handled the situation with professionalism and understanding. We truly appreciate the care she provided and her flexibility throughout everything. Thank you again, Kimberly!”

Wonderful experience with Amanda! She was very caring and respectful of my cat. He took a few days to warm up to her but he ended up being very cuddly and comfortable, which has never happened with another sitter. She also works with animals at the vet so I felt very safe leaving frog with her for 2 weeks. Her kids are also around so my cat was never lonely. Will be booking again in the future!
This is Andrea's 2nd time sitting for my fur baby and I trust her completely. She is very nice, very friendly, very understanding, very helpful and very patient. The 2 times she boarded my pup were last minute requests and she accepted the job and took him in with no problem. She and her family are very nice, polite people. She always replies to my texts and messages and sends photos and videos without me having to ask. My pup was well taken care of the time he spent with Andrea.
This was more difficult than I expected. But the ease LeAndra took off my mind was very much appreciated. This was my first time leaving my “Heart” with anyone outside of immediate family and I was stressed. I know how my dog is and even tho he’s a cute little cuddler he’s a frenchie and can be stubborn. I got updates and pictures that made me feel a little better knowing he’s doing good, the communication flowed and I would highly recommend her.
Such a great Sitter. So kind and punctual. Very good with dogs and knows what she’s doing. Kept open communication throughout the stay and I was able to relax knowing my baby was in great hands! 10 out of 10 if you’re looking for someone whose loving to dogs & knows what they’re doing Nevaeh is the person! I will definitely be keeping her as my preferred sitter.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Shannia! She took amazing care of our pet Nani over the 4th of July weekend. Despite the fireworks, she made sure Nani felt safe and comfortable by spending lots of time playing and cuddling with her. Shannia kept us updated throughout with plenty of adorable pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Shannia for dog sitting — she is kind, attentive, and truly wonderful with pets. We will absolutely reach out to her again whenever Nani needs boarding. Thank you, Shannia, for being so amazing! ☺️
