Nadine watched Bodhi for me while we were out of state, she was amazing! I got daily updates and pictures and was not worried about him at all while we were gone. She took such great care of him!

I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

Megan did a wonderful job of caring for our 2 dogs, cat, and home for 8 days. Our youngest dog is under a year and can be a handful at times and our other dog requires daily eye drops, but Megan managed their care without issue. Megan also took very good care of our home, even washed all the towels and linens used during her stay! She cared for our pets and home as of they were her own and we will use her services again.

Jen and her daughter were amazing with our boys! They took great care, spent a lot of time, and were very thoughtful during their stay at our house of everything. They gave our boys the attention they needed and sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! Our dogs love them and can't wait to see them again!

About: Back in middle school and high school I up I used to watch and walk family friends dogs. I have experience in giving medication to animals. I’m moving back in with my parents for a few months. I don’t have a part time job or anything so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I provide care for dogs in the client’s home, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, companionship, and following any specific care instructions. I also offer dog walking to help keep pets active, happy, and on their regular routine.

About: I have always been around animals and taking care of them since I can remember. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and kittens who need extra attention, structure, and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a calmer environment, medication schedules, and gentle care. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience by maintaining routines, providing plenty of affection and exercise, and paying close attention to behavior changes or health concerns. I’m also highly organized with feeding schedules, walks, cleanup, and communication, so owners can feel confident their pets are in caring and dependable hands. I have three cats at home(Boomer, Clementine and Perci) As well as one very sweet Great Dane (Gretta)! From June 1st- June 14th I am getting my CNA so I will not be available between the times of 7am-4pm on weekdays. Other than that I am able to do anything to meet your pet sitting and or dog walking needs. As well as after these two weeks I am free and available whenever. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and overall wellbeing to ensure they stay comfortable and healthy while their owners are away. I respect each client’s home by keeping everything clean, organized, and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel reassured that their pets are safe and well cared for.

Quinn was absolutely amazing with our pups! We had a last minute trip that required someone to stay with our dogs at our house for 7 days and Quinn went over and beyond. She took our dogs to the apartment dog park daily and played with them for hours. Would recommend Quinn to anyone needing a loyal pet sitter who will treat your animals like her own. When we returned she washed all the bed sheets and tidy up the house so we returned to a clean home.
