Caroline was fabulous with our fur family. She took very good care of Maverick and Goose. Even when Maverick caused some mayhem, Caroline handled it like a pro. Thank you so much Caroline for your gracious care and big heart!

This was our first time with Shayla visiting and she was wonderful with my two Staffies! I received several updates, lots of pictures, good feedback and intel: she kept in touch beautifully. Dogs were very happy upon return, house was in great shape, all was well. Thank you, Shalya, for a pleasant experience. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the dogs! We will reserve again in the future with Shayla.

Sophia is so wonderful. Not only does she take such great care of our girls, but it’s such a huge relief to us knowing someone is at our house who is so reliable, trustworthy, and giving the best care and love to our girls! She communicated the entire time with us and we never for a minute felt uneasy during the time we were away. We will definitely be using her services again. I would highly recommend Sophia to anyone. Thank you so much sweetie!

Michele is hands down the best dog sitter in the world! As repeat customers, we can't say enough about her trustworthiness and how communicative she is. She goes above and beyond – even taking care of a hornets nest she spotted! We always come home to a tidy house, and we have complete peace of mind knowing our Sandy is in such caring and respectful hands.

Samuel was the best! He took such good care of my babies. He was respectful, neat and took time to get to know each of them. No doubt I will be reaching out to him again in the future. Probably within the month I totally trust him with my babies. I know you’ll love him too.

Tatiana was super communicative and attentive with our dog Sullivan! He has been dealing with some health issues and we were very grateful to have someone who could administer his medication and stay with him in our home. We would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be reaching back out to her whenever we need a petsitter again!

Rachel is awesome! She is everything her reviews say she is. This was my first time in 8 years of having to have someone I didn't know to care for my fur baby. I was very leary at the idea of it, especially as I wanted someone to stay with him at night. Met with Rachel, immediately felt comfortable and at ease with her being the one and she definitely was! She sent pics and video, took great care of Gizmo, left the house tidy and even put the garbage out by the road for trash pickup without even being asked to do and half the time we forget ourselves - but she took care of it! Highly recommend her, you won't regret it!

Stella did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and we highly recommend you book with her! We recently went out of town and booked Stella to watch our dogs while we were away. She went above and beyond! She was able to handle our two huge dogs perfectly fine with no problem at all. She sent us picture updates each day while we were away, and even followed all of our very detailed instructions we left for our dogs. If you need someone who will do a great job, we highly recommend you book with Stella!

Katie was fantastic!!! She was great with our dog Brady and he just loved her! She took him on walks every day and kept us updated (with pictures) while we were on our vacation... She looked after things at the house and left it as if she'd never been here! We've been home for a day now and Brady keeps looking for her to come back... We would recommend Katie highly to anyone looking for a house or dog sitter, or both... We will definitely plan to use her again and I'm sure that Brady can't wait!! 5 stars and A+++

About: I will treat your fur kids as my own. Family friends and neighbors have always asked me if I could help them out and I loved doing it. I work full-time with a schedule that is typically either 7:00 AM–2:00 PM or 1:00 PM–9:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to spend quality time with pets before and after work, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I carefully consider my schedule before accepting bookings to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs and maintain their regular routine. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

Marshall was absolutely fantastic with my reactive dog, Hayley! It’s clear he truly cares about animals and takes the responsibility seriously. He was proactive with communication, sending daily photos and updates that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Not only was Hayley happy and relaxed when we returned, but Marshall also left my place just as clean as I had left it! I will definitely be booking him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and tidy sitter!

Michele stayed in our home with our Havapoo Mitzy for a week. She is amazing! She took her on two walks daily, played and played with her and kept her entertained. She sent pictures and a daily update of what has been going on. She watered our plants when needed and left the house as she found it. I highly recommend Michele if you don’t want to worry about anything while you are away from home!
