1. Julia B.

“Julia was super responsive and was really patient with my dog. My dog was really struggling at the beginning when she stopped over but she continued to update me and ensured he was feeling comfortable! She was also so flexible with what I needed. She was great! Would recommend!”


2. Madeleine D.

“Madeline took great care of my babies. She communicated every day, and asked questions when she was unsure of behaviors, which I appreciated. My pups were happy and calm when I came home telling me they were well taken care of and loved. I will definitely have Madeljne stay with my pups again.”


3. Karina S.


“Great communication and frequent updates which was helpful and reassuring since it was our first time with us away. Would definitely use again!”


4. Theresa C.

“Theresa was amazing with our boy, Remy. We booked with her last minute before leaving on a week long trip. She was extremely accommodating and understanding to our specific needs. Long story short, Remy is a 4 mo old puppy who still needs A LOT of training. Theresa was incredibly patient with our boy, and even spent time training him when we were away. I felt like Remy was safe when he was with her, and she sent pictures and updates every single day. I know that Remy did not make things easy for her, but she stuck it out and took wonderful care of our baby. I would highly recommend her services!”


5. Hector L.

“Hector was absolutely fantastic with our cats and they liked him a lot. He was also very professional and friendly with us, sending us daily updates and pictures. We loved having him and already have him booked to watch our cats for our next trip.”


6. Marisa M.

“Wish we could give ten stars! Marisa was so attentive to our dog with special needs and looked after everything at the house. This was the first time in three years we were able to go away without worrying. Such a blessing!”


7. Angela W.

“Angela took great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats over a long weekend! She reported on their status frequently and sent lots of pictures. We have a dog who has some fear aggression with unfamiliar people, and she was patient and understanding and was able to earn his trust. Thanks so much, Angela!”


8. Midori L.

“Midori was 100% reliable and took wonderful care of our two dogs for the week we were away. We got daily photos and updates which made us more comfortable about leaving them for such a long time. She stayed over at night so they weren’t alone and everything was neat and tidy when we returned. We highly recommend Midori for any pet sitting needs.”


9. Kellie I.
“I've known Kellie for 20 years and she has always been caring, responsible and has loved my pets as if they were her own! She even sends them Christmas gifts! I would implicitly trust her with my children regardless if they had 4 legs or 2!”


10. Jonathan H.
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.


11. Hunter F.

“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”


12. Jasmine L.

“Jasmine stayed the weekend with my 2 dogs and cat. She did a great job taking care of them, was attentive to their needs and sent me some picture updates. I will definitely book with her again!”


13. Tara N.

“Tara sent beautiful photos of my girl, and it is obvious just how happy she is. Tara is knowledgeable about dog care, and identified a potential ear infection right away, and our vet told me she did all the right things and it cleared up the next day. I completely trust her with the care of my dog and my home and will definitely book with Tara again.”


14. kaleigh f.

“Kaleigh did an excellent job taking care of my fur babies! She gave me daily updates and kept in contact with me throughout my entire trip. Highly recommend kaleigh to anyone looking for an in-home dog sitter!”


15. Jackson C.
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!




16. Robin L.

“Robin is amazing with my dogs; one is a rescue that barks his head off at anyone unfamiliar. By the time I got home, he was on her lap. It's clear that she loves animals. She's reliable, compassionate, and just a wonderful person all around. This is my second time booking Robin and she is consistently awesome. She sends updates and pics, and is quick to respond to any communication. I feel completely at ease leaving the dogs with her.”


17. Arianna G.
“Hey my name is Renee I’ve known arianna for multiple years and I can say I trust her with all my heart. She’s very kind and patience and always will to try/ learn new things. Arianna is great with animals of all sizes. I know this from experience since she is one of the few people I trust to watch my fur babies when I’m out of town.”


18. Felicia G.
About: I’m a pet enthusiast who makes friends with all four legged buddies I come across! I’ve gotten along with every animal I meet and will be not only a dog/cat watcher but a companion while you’re away. I will ensure the best comfort of your pet and treat them as if they’re my own. Want someone who gives your pet undivided attention? I’m your gal! Your pet will never feel alone while with me. I live in a friendly neighborhood where we can go for many walks and my yard is also the perfect size for any games your little friend might enjoy. When your pet is with me it will be a home away from home with for them, guaranteed. I’m currently self employed, owning my own dog cookie business so I have unlimited amounts of time for furry friends everyday to help ease your worries during your work days and vacations! I care for every animal as if they are my own fur baby! I have years of experience in multiple fields of the pet industry. I am certified in pet CPR and first aid so rest assured your pet will be safe with me at all times. I have experience in dog training and grooming as well.

About: I enjoy the outdoors and taking a walk. Your dog will have lots of play time, as well as fun, treats, food and water. I just like having a dog around to keep each other company so they are not home alone for long time period, you know getting into mischief we can do that together and have more fun haha. I currently do not have any dogs but will get one when the time is right. I have enjoyed and attended dog shows showing for obedience and agility(Dalmatians). I also attended and passed the canine good citizenship test with my first dog. My second dog was adopted and we did agility and was a lot of fun. A dog is a companion in which you meet other dog friendly people. I'm currently working full time but would have time to care for your fur kid/s before and after work, get mail, water plants, check house. I do not have a fenced yard so would take your fur kids out on a leash at your home or if fenced and you chose for them to be loose at your home.

“Katherine did a great job with our Toby! He's a little shy around other people but he warmed up to her fast! We will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again!!”
