“Alyssa was great! She offered to come by to meet our fur babies ahead of time to make sure they would be comfortable! She followed our list to a T and then some! We will definitely book her again when we go out of town next! Thank you again Alyssa!”
“Lavinia has walked our rescue dog and most recently provided overnight dog/house sitting. We instantly felt comfortable with Lavinia in our home and watching young Macie. Lavinia was so communicative with many photos and updates! We would recommend her without hesitation 😊”
“Amber was so great to my dog and to my space while she stayed. I would definitely recommend her to care for your dog!”
“We just got back from our weekend away and I think our dog wishes Hayley were still here! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for all weekend. Hayley provided us with regular pictures and updates and our house looked like no one was here, even though she stayed all weekend. We truly appreciate Hayley staying with our guy and will plan on using her again in the future!”

About: I have been working at a dog daycare/boarding facility for over a year now, supervising up to 100 dogs a day. I care for and play with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as give them baths when needed, feeding them meals, and giving needed medications. I have experience with many different kinds of dog behavior to know when they are anxious, scared, or if something is bothering them. Outside of work, I dog sit for family and friends, taking the dogs for walks and adventures so you will always be sure they will be tuckered out by the end of the day. I am currently fostering a dog through K9 Orphans, Mia. She is a sweetheart with severe stranger danger (we are working on it) and I plan on adopting her in the near future. So I have experience with dogs who are reactive toward strangers. Through years of experience working with dogs, I’ve learned no personality is the same. I find it very important to learn what a dog’s specifics needs are and make sure they are met. My job at the daycare is full time and I work shifts that are between 6 and 8 hours (usually late morning through evening). Since I do work later in the day I have plenty of morning time to spend taking care of pets as well as flexibility into watching dogs into the evening as well. Working at a dog daycare I experience everything that comes with working with dogs. I clean up anything you can think of, I understand dog behavior and when they are overwhelmed or anxious, and I know how to handle an aggressive dog. My main priority is to always keep them safe and happy.
About: I've been taking care of our furry friends since childhood, but over the last year I've really had to step up in caring for and training my parents' two German Shepard puppies, as well as one older Shepard following knee surgery. I've also started doing a significant amount of pet sitting with other breeds of dogs, from Chihuahua to Pitts, as well as kittie-cats both friendly and independent. I'm picking up some extra work while attending grad school, so my schedule is currently quite flexible. The time that works for you works for me! Generally, I'll follow all of your normal routines with your pet. Administering meds is also no problem, and grooming can be discussed for longer-term stays.
“Anna has been an amazing dog sitter for us more than once! She is responsive and sends many pictures. Our animals are calm and excited to see her. She watched our pets few multiple days in our home and left our home clean - even helped with our plants while we were away. I would highly recommend Anna!!”
“5 Stars! Nikole was a very attentive and loving caregiver for our fur baby. She followed our instructions meticulously and gave us frequent updates with lovely photos. We will definitely be rebooking with Nikole.”
“Daniel was fantastic with our 8 month old chihuahua. Daniel sent photos and updates on our pup often. He was courteous and respectful of our home while we were gone. Our dog was clearly tired when we got home, which showed that Daniel played and spent a lot of time with him. I would definitely recommend Daniel as your next dog sitter!”
“Suzanne did a really great job watching my pup! She met with me a couple of times before my trip, was patient with my anxious dog, followed instructions, took lots of notes, sent me great photos and updates, and left the house very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend her!”
“Helen was wonderful with our puppy Ayla and treated her like one of her own. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that she’s a dog lover and is fantastic with animals. We would absolutely recommend her to everyone!”
“Emily was very communicative and friendly! She took great care of our three pets and house. Our pets are very needy and require extra attention with medication and she was very attentive and gave them the best care! I will definitely use her as a sitter again!!”
“Amazing!!! Could not recommend Morgan highly enough!!! She house and pet sat our dog, quaker parrot, rat, and fish for about a week and did a fantastic job! We recieved frequent updates and pictures, and all of our animals LOVED her (even our very finicky bird!). We did 2 meet-and-greets prior to our trip and Morgan was always on time, polite, and professional. She asked lots of relevant questions and really cared for our pets as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone prompt, professional, and great with animals, Morgan is your person!!!”
“Knicki was so responsible and Communication was 100% from the time I first contacted her and weeks before up through the day I came home and even after that.My two girls seemed Great when I got home. I would highly recommend Knicki to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!”

Kaitlin R.
“Kaitlin is an absolute dream pet sitter and home sitter. Kaitlin stayed in my home to watch my dog, Niko, for 4 weeks while I was overseas. Niko is very anxious/reactive and needs to take daily medication. I was anxious myself to leave Niko for so long, but I could not have made a better choice than leaving him with Kaitlin and was blown away by the service she provided. Kaitlin sent me daily updates on how Niko was doing, including photos, and it was amazing how quickly he warmed up to her. Typically when I have to travel, Niko barely leaves his crate to eat. In the photos Kaitlin sent Niko would be begging for pets, cuddling with her in blankets, and rolling over for belly rubs. It was hard for me to be away for so long, but seeing the great care Kaitlin was taking of Niko, and how much he was opening up to her, really made the distance easier. On top of being loving, Kaitlin was also very responsible. She gave Niko his medication at the correct time every day without issue. She also managed to get him strapped into his carseat and take him to the groomer for a nail trim, something I was very worried would not be possible without me present. I left cash for the nail trim appointment and Kaitlin left the change down to the penny. Though there to watch Niko, Kaitlin went above ans beyond to care for our home. I came home to all mail and packages neatly stacked and sorted on the table. There were a couple urgent pieces of mail that she alerted me to during my trip. At my request/with my permission, she opened these specific letters and sent me a picture so I could address the urgent matter. During her stay she also let in our maid for our regular cleaning and paid her with the envelope of cash we had left for this purpose. Kaitlin is a wonderful person who has an obvious love of animals and a good natured heart. She is highly trustworthy and I cannot recommend her service enough.”

Another great visit from Jamie! It’s comforting to know our animals are well taken care of while we’re away! Can’t recommend Jamie enough!!
Carla took great care of our dogs again! Great communication and was very helpful and flexible- she stayed an extra night with our dogs when our flight got delayed at the last minute. Thanks Carla!
Everything went smooth with Barbara dog sitting at our house! Would def recommend to anyone looking for a responsible dog sitter!
Daniel was excellent! He was a great communicator, sent regular pictures and updates, and our dog seemed in great spirits when we returned. He also was very considerate when staying in our home (stripped the bed without being asked to do so, used the kitchen but kept it very clean, etc). Would recommend his care for your animals.
Anna has been an amazing dog sitter for us more than once! She is responsive and sends many pictures. Our animals are calm and excited to see her. She watched our pets few multiple days in our home and left our home clean - even helped with our plants while we were away. I would highly recommend Anna!!
Morgan was amazing. She went above and beyond for both Riley and Miranda with love, affection and care and was exceptional with communicating and photos. We will absolutely be hiring her again and highly recommend!!
Saoirse was great! She handled my big boy really well, and her communication was great! I had no concerns about my house or my animals when I was away! I'll book with her again!
Joey was wonderful. He met with us the day before for a Greet & Meet. He arrived promptly on both days and was very experienced & well-prepared to take care of our Senior. Joey was very detailed about Rufus's care plan and asked lots of good questions. He sent plenty of beautiful photos and updates during the day. Joey was able to use positive reinforcement (treats and positive praise) to wean him off his belly band. This was incredibly helpful as we have been able to continue without it.
I have booked Emalee for overnight dog sitting a number of times now. She is my go to when I am out of town and I want to rest easy knowing my pup is well cared for when I am gone. Thank you for treating her like one of your own. Not to mention the updates are so reassuring to get. Emalee is so respectful of the house and the space going above and beyond to make sure things are left tidy!!
Rohila was super responsive and great with our dog, who unexpectedly got really upset we were gone and ended up being a handful. The cats--even our normally super shy and nervous one--seemed calm and happy when we got back. And I couldn't even tell someone had been staying in our house. Thanks so much for everything, Rohila!
Hayley was wonderful! She took great care of my pets. It’s nice to know they are in good hands when I’m gone.
Helen was wonderful with our puppy Ayla and treated her like one of her own. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that she’s a dog lover and is fantastic with animals. We would absolutely recommend her to everyone!
Cassidy was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she really took her time to get to know them and their routines. She was very respectful of our home and gave our dogs all the love and attention while we were away. We have already booked her again for future trips.
Kelsey is amazing! Our flight got delayed while she was house sitting and she stayed extra and even gave our pup a bath when he ran through the mud that morning. Thank you Kelsey!!
Melaney was great!! Stayed overnight with our family 3 dogs & kitty while we went to a concert. She kept us updated and sent pics & the animals all really enjoyed their time with her!
Paris was great with our dogs! They spent time outside and snuggling and the dogs seemed happy when we got home. Paris paid attention to the instructions that were left regarding medication administration, etc.
Jackie was such a wonderful sitter!! She took great care of my dog and my home while I was away. I’ll definitely be scheduling with her again.
Kiera did everything I expected and more. She contacted me every other day with pictures and updates. My dog looked so happy! I would definitely contact her again for service.
Kayleigh did amazing job with Max! She sent us pics and he really enjoyed having her stay at our house. Would definitely request her again.
Ryan is so kind and patient. One of our dogs is very timid, and being away from us stresses her. He took his time with her and she warmed up enough to accept a belly rub and a walk! He was immediately loved by our easy going boy. He treated them each the way they needed to gain their trust. We highly recommend Ryan!
