“Absolutely fantastic! We have had some not so good luck with sitters lately, and Barbara was a breath of fresh air. She genuinely cares for the well being of our pups, and the updates were plentiful. Thank you. We will return to you again.”
“Theresa is simply amazing. She came through for my fur baby at the last minute when we needed to leave town. She was kind, patient and answered all of my questions to help soothe any anxieties with leaving my fur baby in someone else’s care. She was on time for pickup and drop off. She sent pictures and responded to text and phone calls promptly. You can’t go wrong with Theresa!!”

“We loved Tonja and her family. Leaving our dog, Moe with them was so easy and I had absolutely no worries the whole time gone on vacation. Moe became part of their family from sun bathing and swimming to sleeping! Pictures and communication from Tonja was amazing. Moe Loved the family and so do we. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Moe. We will definitely be back!!!”
About: I'm an animal lover with a natural way with animals. Though I've only cared for roommates' pets in the past, I love to pay it forwards to everyone! In between jobs right now, I have open availability and am happy to be the last minute sitter you hope you never needed and are glad to have. Keeping them in a routine is important. I'm respectful of my clients' property and loving of their animals while also providing structure to them all
“Norma was an incredible dog sitter for my Orion. While I was out of state missing my sweet boy she sent daily updates and photos which made me feel so comfortable leaving him with her family. Orion had a blast and I know we will definitely use them again when we need someone to watch Orion.”
“Duke had a great time with Chris, Dan and their pups! Would definitely recommend and would schedule with them again while we are visiting my parents in Illinois.”
“Dana is AMAZING!!! Skylar has such a fun time at her house and she made new friends. Dana sent us pictures and updates of our Skylar everyday which I loved to see.

“This was our first time using Rover, and we were very pleased. ***** We had a meet & greet before booking and I could tell right away that Lucy Liu would be taken care of and left in good hands. 🩷 Hanna was amazing with our 8 month old Shih Tzu. She also would keep us updated and sent pictures to let us know how our sweet girl was doing. We will definitely be booking with Hanna and Sadie (her sweet 3 yr old Boxer) again!!! 🩷🐾🩷 PS.. She also taught Lucy Liu to finally conquer going up stairs, YaY! Thank you again!! Kelli & Tony and Lucy Liu”
“Jacqueline and her family took excellent care of our pups. They were patient with our pups despite the challenges they presented. We received regular updates that included videos and text. I knew they were in good hands and this allowed us to enjoy our time away. I will choose them every time we are away for an extended time. You should pick her too!”
