“Mallory was wonderful watching our dogs at our house for the weekend. She handled our two (sometimes troublesome) pups very well and with no complaints, even when one got a little sick. She was communicative throughout the entire process and shared lots of pictures and updates during her stay to make us feel more comfortable and show us they were happy and well loved. She took excellent care of our house as well. Thank you!”

“Highly recommend Hollie!!! She took great care of our little old man! He can be aggressive on walks and has to wear a muzzle, and she walked him without issue and kept us updated on how it went. He was happy healthy and relaxed when we got home. Hollie was very responsive to any messages and our house was in great shape when we got back. Will definitely hire her again!”


“Emily was great housing sitting our dog, Ginger. She sent us regular updates on Ginger along with photos. We could really enjoy our vacation knowing that Ginger was being loved and cared for at our home. Additionally, Emily was a thoughtful and considerate house guest. We would absolutely have her house sit Ginger again in the future.”

“Amanda is great, helped us out with a last minute out of town pet sit. She is responsive to texts, sent lots of pictures of the pups and made our trip so much less stressful knowing they were so well taken care of! Will definitely have Amanda watch our pups again!”

“Margaret was extremely communicative and provided detailed updates and lots of pics. A bit of a hiccup with getting her into the building but she was understanding thankfully! Will plan on using her whenever I'm out of town.”

“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

About: I have taken care of neighbor, friends and families dogs for the past 4 years. I’m experienced in staying over, feeding your pets, playing and giving pets care over long weekends or for a short check up. I have worked with pets who have needed medicines at allotted times ie. at breakfast or dinner times. I also have experience with using an e-collar. I love to make your pet feel as comfortable as if you had never left! Currently I have a part time job and am a college student but with I have a lot flexibility, I am able to work around my schedule so it can work out for the both of us. I am able to take your dogs on walks or to the dog park. I also am able to crate them after we have returned from activities.
“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”


“Julia petsat in our home for 4 days and was very kind and communicative! Our pets were well taken care of and we returned to a clean home! We are always a bit nervous since our dog has anxiety and needs a bit more attention and care but everything went great!”

“Looking for someone who is kind, thoughtful, and who will truly love on your pups while you’re away, Camryn is a great choice! We came home to three very happy pups and from the pictures we saw of their weekend together, have no doubts that they loved her company. Thank you so much!”

“What an amazing job from an amazing sitter! Christine was extremely polite, communicative, and always checking in with pictures and updates. She not only took care of Delilah, she took great care of the house! 100% recommended and 100% plan to rebook in the future. Thanks again!!”


“I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”

“Cindy was wonderful. She took excellent care of our senior cats while we were away for the holidays. Kind, thorough, and very communicative, we knew she was taking great care of them so we could relax on our travels. Very grateful for that! Recommend Cindy highly!”

“Amelia took really great care of our two dogs with a last minute booking. She was communicative and made sure to send pictures. She left the house just as we had left it. Would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”

About: My family has had dogs since I was born, and I got my own 9 years ago when he was a puppy. I’ve raised him on my own, cared for my parents’ dogs when they’re out of town, and looked after my friends’ pets. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and can accommodate most days and times for pet care as needed. Comfortable walking dogs in any time of day and any season! I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and am comfortable with any breed or size. I’ve had senior dogs before, and raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I’m comfortable with any age range too!
“Sarah was wonderful. She communicated well. Our dogs were well taken care of. It sure helps to feel good when you have to leave the dogs home. I would highly recommend her.”

“Morgan did a wonderful job taking care of our two high energy GSDs while we were gone over the weekend. She communicated well keeping us updated with texts and photos. We came back to two happy and healthy boys, we would definitely book with her again.”
