“Joanna and John are extraordinary caregivers! We were so fortunate to find them. Our pup spent two weeks with them and we never worried once. We received daily pics and thoughtful updates. It was clear our pup was in very capable, caring hands and enjoyed their beautiful yard and family home. Looking forward to booking another visit soon!”
“Eun and her husband took great care of Jax and provided me with videos and pictures throughout his stay. Thank you for making him comfortable and keeping him busy. Looking forward to our next booking.”
“Karen was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. My chichahua loved staying with her! Karen sent us photos and updates each day. It was a relief to see how much fun my dog was enjoying and how well she was cared for. We will leave my sweet dog with Karen every time we need a sitter.”
“Lydia and her family always take good care of my Mochi. I know she’s in good hands and I never have to worry when I leave her. Lydia always sends lots of update pictures during the stay and her whole family treats Mochi like family. She gets all the cuddles and attention. And she gets so excited every time I drop her off there. Thanks Lydia for always taking such good care of Mochi!”
“Hoa was great! Our dog was a happy pup staying with her. She had lots of toys for him to play with and puzzles to get treats! Very kind, loved all the pictures and videos she sent while we were away”
“Sujan was first rate. Sent photos multiple times each day, with several woods and neighborhood walks every day, and was so caring and conscientious, with such a calm household and setting, and our experience was reassuring throughout - leaving our dogs with him, we knew they were in good hands. The best.”
“Thank you Carla and family for taking care of Carlos! Our old and sometimes challenging dog was I. Your good hands, and we very much appreciated the love and care you gave him.”
“This was the second time Rumi has stayed with Helen and Hommer. We have realized that when Rumi is with them, she is on vacation! She is treated like a princess and given so much love, care, and affection. In fact, they included a picture of Rumi on their Christmas tree!! They go above and beyond, especially since Rumi can be difficult on her leash. They never make us feel like she is a burden, even though we know she can be a bit tricky. I cannot speak highly enough of how amazing Hommer and Helen are. We would never want anyone else to take care of her. These two people are truly special and wonderful. We adore them!!!! Do your pet a favor and book a vacation for them at Helen and Hommer’s house!!”
“Amy took great care of Finn during his stay-cation with her. Sent me great photos and videos during his stay and updates. Finn came home happy and tired from such fun! Can't wait to stay again! :)”
“Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.”
“Heather and her family provided such a wonderful environment for our dog. It felt like we were leaving him at home and she eased all of our concerns during the stay. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone!”
“Julia took great care of my pampered pooch. She was great about sending pictures about twice per day while I was away. I would recommend her as a pet sitter as long as your pet is ok with other dogs and cats.”
“I am so grateful we found Nawarat! She was super communicative and updated us frequently which gave us peace of mind. She was super accommodating to our cat that has special needs and some anxiety and I was surprised how comfortable our cats had gotten in just a day! We appreciated the extra care and consideration that was taken for both our cats and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Amanda was absolutely fantastic with Q! She was very attentive to his needs and regularly sent me updates and pictures of Q. And although there was a bit of last minute situation that we had to deal with, Amanda was extremely accommodating and understanding and took good care of Q. My dog really loved it there! I would definitely recommend her. She is a great pet sitter!”
“Derek and Cheryl took great care of our aging beagle, Michelle, while we were out of town. It was short notice but they were flexible with their time friendly throughout the process of booking her stay. They provided daily photos and updates on how she was doing and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Michelle was more than happy with Derek and Cheryl’s care and so were we! Would highly recommend!”
“Jean was awesome as a dogsitter. He took good care of my Golden. He sent pictures and videos, and walked her daily. Most of all he was friendly and wide open to any request that I had on how to take care of her. I will definitely be bringing my dog back in the future. I feel like we finally have a go-to for a sitter.”

“Huge thanks to Deeksha for pampering our sweet senior pup, Tay! 🐾 Not only did she get top-notch care, but Deeksha made our schedule-juggling a breeze. The daily photo updates were the cherry on top—we loved seeing Tay living her best life. We will be booking with Deeksha again!”
About: I have been in veterinary medicine for 12 years and have been pet sitting for 20 years. I have cared for pets of all ages and energy levels. I am able to administer medication or monitor medical issues if needed. I work 75% from home, and I am away for a maximum of 4 hours. I can create my own schedule, so I adjust it as needed based on my pet's requirements. When caring for pets, I will assess their anxiety levels and schedule the day's activities accordingly. Each pet is treated as if they were my own. I will follow any care instructions provided. Exercise is essential for a pet's health, so I take them on a minimum of one hour of walking each day, in addition to regular potty breaks. If more exercise is needed, I am happy to accommodate that as well!
