“Jaimi is literally the perfect sitter. Knight has a great time, he was so content! We even did a meet and greet and I just knew that Jaimi’s warm heart and Knights docile demeanor would be a perfect fit. She sent updated pics daily and communication was punctual and everything I could ask for. I will be using her in the future”


“We are so happy we found Brineydi to care for our pups. She is very sweet, asks questions about our pets and has great communication. She offers update thru photos and messages to let us know how things are going. I highly recommend her services and will use her services in the future.”



“Leanne & Mark were wonderful hosts to Jace. He loved playing with their Australian Cattle Dog, Astro, an obviously happy and well-behaved pup. They immediately became buddies. I was so comfortable leaving Jace there that I won't hesitate going back any time I need a second "home" for him. Leanne and Mark seem to truly enjoy having Jace in their home which was obvious in his wagging tail when around them. He's an energetic pup so I appreciated their attention to him and their flexibility with me. It's a comfort to know that Jace is well cared for and pampered with a little love when I can't be around. If you're looking for a great environment for your pet, I highly recommend Astro's family!”


“My pup enjoyed his stay with Leah. He was welcomed into her home with open arms and quickly made himself comfortable. Leah provided regular updates and pictures of his stay. Our pup is excited to return. Thanks Leah!”



“We are very glad we found Monica. She knows what she is doing, very responsive and caring. Millie had a good time and we had piece of mind while being away. Will definitely come back ?”


“Jeffrey was able to take care of our high-energy pup Dudley on short notice over a holiday weekend. We appreciated the updates and are happy Dudley was able to enjoy Jeffrey's company and fenced back yard while we were away! Would not hesitate to have Jeffrey watch Dudley again in the future.”


“Shannon was a great communicator and she was so kind to let me bring my pup later than expected. She sent me pictures during her stay that left me at ease. Her family is so sweet and love their space.”


“Debbie is the best. This was our second time having Winters stay with her and I don’t worry a bit! She sends photos and updates and reassurance that my furry baby is all good!”


“Brittany was a true life saver. My sitter cancelled and I had less than 24 hours to find a sitter and do a meet & greet. Brittany was super responsive and was able to do a meet & greet within hours. Her two pups are so sweet and were so well behaved. When I came to drop Luca off, he was SO excited which always makes me feel soo at ease. Brittany was communicative the entire stay. She took such good care of him and he clearly had the BEST time running and playing and snuggling. I cannot wait to be able to book with Brittany again 🩷”


“I had a great experience with Felix and her family. Communication was clear and quick. She kept me up to date with how my dogs were doing in her care. Would recommend and would use her again!”


“I always know my dog will be well taken care of whenever he stays with Stephanie. She’s very efficient and messages me at least twice a day with pictures and updates on. What’s going on with my dog. She’s also very responsive with my questions or comments and alleviates or concerns”


“Jennifer is so great to work with! She is very easy-going and accommodating and flexible with last-minute time changes. Most importantly, she took great care of Jake and he was very happy when I picked him up! I will definitely use her again 😊.”


“I highly recommend Yesenia. She and her family were very welcoming to Marley. I could tell they love having pets in their home. She even put treats in Marley’s bag to take home. I will definitely rebook with Yesenia. 😊”


“Haneui took exceptional care of our two Yorkies. We were sent many pictures and I could tell that they were happy. Our one yorkie has an eye problem but her eyes were clear and clean. She had a thunder shirt available (which I forgot to pack, in case it thundered. ). They even got along with her dog. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pet. My dogs were boarded with her for 10 days.”


“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”


“Colin and Levi were SO welcoming to my Zorro. There were lots of photos (with funny captions) that came every day. Just the best that I could have hoped for! I will be using Colin again soon and have no worries at all that he and Levi will make him feel right at home!”


About: treat every pet like family! I’m a calm, patient, and caring sitter with a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals. What sets me apart is my full attention to each pet’s unique needs — whether it’s a shy dog, a playful puppy, or a senior pet who needs extra care and gentle handling. 🐾 I have experience caring for both small and large breeds, giving medication (oral), and keeping routines consistent. I also provide regular updates, photos, and lots of love so pet parents feel confident and relaxed while away. If your pet needs slow introductions, quiet walks, or just some extra cuddles — I’m here for it! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and attention they need — whether it’s morning feedings, afternoon playtime, or peaceful evening cuddles. I’ve always had cats at home, and I’ve also helped care for my friends’ dogs over the years — walking them, feeding them, and making sure they felt calm and loved while their owners were away. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s unique habits and needs. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a full day of sitting, I make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for. care for pets with calm energy, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether I’m watching a pet in my home or visiting them at their own, I focus on creating a peaceful, safe environment that matches their daily routine. At my home, I make sure pets have a quiet space to relax, access to fresh water, clean bowls, and toys. I keep litter boxes and feeding areas spotless, and I give each pet one-on-one time for cuddles, play, or just peaceful company. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walking routines, favorite toys or places to rest. I always respect your home and leave everything clean and just as I found it. I also send regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free until you’re back.
