“Allison and Nick were so great, you can tell how much they love animals!! We got lots of good updates and they took such good care of our pup. Their big backyard with a tall fence is perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”

“Azure took care of my older dog (9 year old) and my puppy (7 months old) when our family was out of town for a much needed vacation. She was fantastic to work with! She made sure to do a meet and greet so that my pups could meet her pups to ensure that it would be a good fit for all involved. While I was gone, she sent me picture updates every day (sometimes videos!). I love getting pics while I'm away; it really sets my mind at ease and I appreciate her taking the time to keep in touch with me. When my flight was delayed on the way home, she was flexible and kept my dogs an extra 6 hours or so past when I was originally planning on being home and she was great through all of it. Absolutely would recommend Azure and will be reaching out to her when I need pet sitting services in the future!”
“Stephanie was wonderful! So sweet and kind and loving to our pup Whitney! She had a great time, you can tell she was very well taken care of and loved! We got pictures and updates every day which was awesome too! We will definitely be using Stephanie again for our pet sitting needs!!”

“Morgan was wonderful not only to set up but she treated my dog like she was hers during her stay.. Took her for a walk, had her dog available for playtime, sent pics, had plenty of toys for her to play with... We will be using her in the future as she is in a very convenient location for us along with how well she treated my dog, Thank You Morgan!!”

“Bentley has been going to Kristen's on regular basis since January. She is our favorite dog sitter. Bentley loves going there. It is like his second home. He has many regular friends and gets plenty of needed play time. She does wonderful job with photos and updates. We feel comfortable with leaving Bentley with her anytime!”

“The experience with Jennifer was amazing. Our dog clearly had fun and was comfortable from the start. We are so glad to have found Jennifer. Is she is exactly the type of person one would want to take care of their fur baby”

“The pups had a great time playing at Emily's. Emily was very accommodating and did a great job keeping my pups safe. One of my pups does not do well with cats and Emily made sure to keep them separated and safe. She made it a very positive experience and comfortable stay”

“Alexis is amazing. Easy to communicate with and coordinate drop off/pick up. Sent photos. My dog is skiddish and she took such special care with her. 🩷”

“Agnatha is so wonderful. This was our first time leaving our dog alone over night, and I think we were way more nervous about it than he was. Agnatha kept us updated with messages and photos and seems like the stay could not have gone better. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Karisa was fantastic! Our dog is older (15) and can get a little nervous, so a caring, home environment is what we were looking for. There was such peace of mind leaving our pet with Karisa. She even sent pictures so we could see how cozy Tilly was in their home and she was sent home with a “goodie bag” of homemade doggie treats! We highly recommend!!!”

“Melissa was great! I got update ms and pics everyday! Whitney had an absolutely great stay! Thank you Melissa! We will be return customers for sure!”

“We are extremely happy with Natalie. She did very well with our puppy all while fostering for the shelter. She is very responsive and sent plenty of pictures. I didn't tell her but when got her home she slept the whole afternoon. She was suckered ou t from her time with myra.”

“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”

“Can’t say enough good things! Lara watched Bailey for a week while I was out of town. I was nervous…she made me feel super comfortable by staying in contact the whole week and sending pics each day. She is experienced and has the perfect home for dog sitting! Highly recommended!”

“Anne was pleasant to work with! Her kindness, flexibility, and meeting with us beforehand helped us feel better about leaving our girl for the first time. You can tell that Anne loves what she does! We received many pictures, updates, and some videos while we were away. Molly seemed to settle in just fine once she got comfortable. Will book again!”

“Heather took excellent care of our two dogs. It was their first night away from home and they were relaxed and happy when we came to pick them up. We’ve already booked their next stay with her. I’m happy to recommend her services!”
“I had such an amazing experience! Mitchel went above and beyond while watching my dog. He sent daily videos and pictures, kept me updated the whole time, and made me feel so at ease while I was away. My dog looked so happy and comfortable in every update, and when I picked her up, she was clearly well taken care of and in great spirits! I could tell she had the best time. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommend!”

“April was very gracious to accept a last minute booking for Kayla. She had a great time with April and her kids whom took wonderful care of her. She is a happy and tired girl! I will definitely utilize April and her family’s services again. Thank you so much!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my ability to provide structured, attentive, and compassionate care that meets both the physical and emotional needs of dogs. I am highly attentive to routines, behavior cues, and individual temperaments, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment for each dog in my care. My dog-sitting skills extend beyond basic supervision to include proper exercise, reinforcement of positive behavior, and close observation to ensure overall well-being. I approach every responsibility with professionalism, reliability, and clear communication, giving pet owners confidence and peace of mind that their dogs are receiving exceptional, dependable care in their absence I have a flexible schedule and am available most of the time, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care. While I am generally free during the week, I may occasionally have other commitments on weekends, though I communicate availability clearly in advance to ensure proper planning. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every aspect of the care I provide. My upstairs apartment is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with close supervision at all times to ensure pets remain safe and comfortable. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions provided, and I maintain a consistent and structured environment to reduce stress. My community offers designated areas for walking dogs, allowing for regular exercise in a controlled and safe setting. Through attentive care, clear communication, and respect for both the pet and the owner’s expectations, I strive to create a secure, trusting, and welcoming home where pets feel comfortable and well cared for
“She was great with my dog, super communicative, sent pics/vids, and was flexible when my plans changed. Being new to town, I was nervous leaving my dog with a stranger, but she made the whole thing smooth and my dog seemed to enjoy his time with her. Definitely would recommend!”
