“June was very flexible with scheduling and it was clear she loves animals. Kenai adored her. I was given daily updates and photos. She was wonderful, I would book with her again!”
“Quick and thorough communication before and during her care of my dogs. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special medication requirements and she was wonderful about making sure he got what he needed.”
“Eliza is a show stopper when it comes to pet sitting! We needed someone to watch our 3 fur babies while we were out of country and have always been very careful with who we select. Our dogs who are sometimes shy took to her almost right away and loved their initial walks with her. She was extremely thorough in her questions about the dogs, emergency contacts, etc and had great communication while we were gone as well. It really helped knowing they were in amazing hands. When we returned she had even kept up with watering our plants and washed all the linens she used! We would recommend Eliza to any and everyone.”
“We booked James for a dual job of house and dog sitting, and he was great! He kept us updated, checked in and our Bowie loved him to death- and Bowie isn’t easy to win over! James is clean, trustworthy, honest, and solves his own issues with respect and thoughtfulness. Highly recommend him and we will be repeat customers!”
“Franchesca was so great and I have already rebooked her. She communicated well with me and Maverick was a happy boy when I got home! My house was in great shape when I returned.”
“Megan is a Rockstar and a Finn (our rescue) whisperer. Megan was so accommodating in coming to visit a few times so that Finn could get to know her. He doesn’t trust easily, mostly fearful, but he took to Megan right away. Megan stayed at our home and stayed in touch with us including pictures and a video. The pics showed that he was very chill. He did not hide away in the bedroom, which is his usual MO. He also did not go on eating strike. He ate his meals. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worries. We are so happy to have found Megan and Finn is definitely requesting her for our next getaway. We highly recommend Megan for all your pet sitting needs. Evelyn, Tim and Finn Orr”
“Johnny did a great job watching my two pups over the weekend. They asked thoughtful questions about how to care for them, and provided daily updates. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. Will be booking with Johnny again!”
“We are delighted to have Kim stay in our home and care for our Stella. Stella was her usual self, happy to see us and with no changes in her behavior. The house was spotless after Kim’s 9 day stay. We look forward to rebooking Kim in the future.”
“Maria was extraordinary --- everything we had hoped for and more. She gave loving care to our dog and was a great communicator throughout our time away, sending photos and fun facts about how things were going back home. She helped us relax and enjoy our time away. Thanks, Maria.”
“Hannah has a very kind, easy going energy and was GREAT with our pup. Super flexible, sent pictures and updates each day, and did an amazing job of taking care of our house while we were gone. Maeve (our pup) was so well taken care of - would absolutely recommend Hannah!”

About: I make sure your pet feels like a member of the family, not only are they smart, they need attention to make sure they can have trust. I have nothing but time and attention to give. I love to have fun, that's what life's all about, getting out there and having adventures. Any new opportunity is what pushes me into the next day, can't wait to meet you and hear your story. As a type one diabetic, I know how important special needs are, especially for pets, any medication, any set schedule, anything to make sure your animal has a long and fruitful life in your family
“The best choice could make to trust them with my Sofy and house!! Came last night and thanks to them that keep me posted all the time with pictures, really enjoy vacations knowing all good:). Really recommend them!!!!”
About: The first and only thing I ever begged my parents for was my very own dog... I didn't care how big/small, young/old it was but I knew it would be my best friend. I got my very own dog when I was 11 years old for Christmas and now, almost 17 years later I could never imagine life without dogs in it. Our only pet is our puppy Georgia who is a 5 month old Lab/Pit mix and we adore her so much! She is great with other dogs and loves all people. Aside from my love of dogs (and all animals) I am Certified as a Dog Trainer and also Certified as a Veterinary Assistant, which means I am also capable of administering medication while you are away. I am home just about 24/7 so any dog that stays with me will never be left alone. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you, thank you! -Megan R.
