“We absolutely love Amy! Honestly, we were far away from home and are pretty sure our dogs were sad when she left and disappointed to see us. She gives expert walks, did bath time - which is a total circus, and even cleaned some of our muddy blankets. I will call Amy anytime we leave! She’s the absolute best.”

“Katrin was absolutely great with Daisy! We felt so much better knowing Daisy was being cared for, and we felt very lucky to have her watching Daisy in our home. Especially with Daisy still being a puppy, we didn’t want to move her around, so having someone stay with her made a huge difference. Katrin was wonderful about sharing updates and videos throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Daisy loved playing with her and was genuinely sad to see her go. We would highly recommend Katrin to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”

“Meredith was great! She met them a couple of times before we left, which really helped our older dog with anxiety. She connected so well with the pups. She kept us informed with pictures and videos, so we knew our pups were in good hands. She treated our home with care, too, which was appreciated. We would happily book with Meredith again!”


“Alekx has stayed with our puppy twice now and was amazing! Very patient with puppy energy. We also came home to a pup who had been taught a few new skills and Alekx even gave our pup many hand me down toys from her own dog, some of which are our pups new favorites! Our dog hasn’t been alone yet, and Alekx was great about staying with her and even took her out to a park.”

“Meredith was great staying with my cat and housesitting for 3 nights! I got regular updates, both pics and video, and I could tell she liked hanging out with him, which was nice. Came home to a clean house. Would definitely (and hope to!) book her again.”

“Claire was great! We were very grateful she was able to accommodate a last minute need for a dog sitter. Claire provided updates and photos which were much appreciated. She took great care of Ava and we will definitely request her services again”

“Hayley house sat for my pets for 5 days. I have four pets, one being a 5 month old GSD/Malinois puppy and Hayley did wonderfully. I got photo updates every meal time and little tidbits of their day and funny things they’d do. I know they all got one on one time, which I really appreciate as well. She took care of them like they were her own and she really took all of their little quirks/tricks/mealtimes in and followed them accordingly! I have a pretty shy cat that warmed up to Hayley within a day, which is rather impressive! She left our house clean and made sure all of our babies had water. Tina and Kai (our dogs) were tuckered out too (which is amazing). Overall 11/10 and will be rebooking if I go out of town again. All of my animals were rather happy and well taken care of!”

“Great Dogsitter all around! Really good communication, easy for meet and greet, updates all along the way, and very flexible with start time and end time. She was great & my dogs loved her!”

“Salem was once again GREAT with Bodhi. I was having surgery. My husband was with me, and she was taking care of our beloved pooch - even brought in our packages! Bodhi our big "baby" loves her and we are thrilled with her care.”

“Nick was an incredible sitter! I was nervous, as this was my first time leaving my dog with someone who wasn't a friend or family, and Nick did a wonderful job keeping in communication with me about how things were going. He also went above and beyond to keep my dog on her regular schedule, which made the transition seamless.”

“Rosa saved our trip with 2 dogs. We were traveling with our 2 pups and she was able to come to our air bnb to watch them while we went into town. They seemed to love her. She walked them, played fetch, chilled out on the couch with our two goofballs. She is timely and communicative. Would use her services again if ever in the area.”

About: My kind and caring nature is apart of every interaction with your pets and you! I am a clean person and ensure your pet and home will be in top shape. Whether your pet is a high energy dog or a shy cat, I’ll treat them like my own fur babies for the entire time you are away, making sure they get the love and care every animal deserves. I’m currently working full time with an in person job, however my schedule is often fairly flexible and I am typically able to leave the job-site if needed for any reason. When I had my own pets, pet care was apart of my daily routine because they deserve care throughout each day. That is something I apply to every pet I care for. When caring for your pet(s), I also ensure your home and space are respected and maintained. House sitting means taking care of the space just as much as it does caring for the pets-both which I take seriously. Cleanliness and respect for your home will always be apart of my services.
“Avery stayed with my pups while I was out of town. They can be a handful, and Avery handles them with ease! I’ve never come home to such calm dogs after a weekend away. Highly recommend!”


About: I grew up taking care of my family dog that we had for 13 wonderful years. I have been dog sitting for many years and have also volunteered at animal shelters in the past. My partner and I own a home in Hillsborough, where we have a large, fenced-in yard for our own pups, Reggie and Echo, to enjoy. Reggie is excitable and has a loud voice, and though he doesn't always know how to contain that energy, he's a lovebug who just wants to play with anyone and everyone. We've had a number of dogs here to stay with us, including a 12-week-old puppy, and he loves them all! We recently got him a little sister, Echo. After a 2-hour adjustment period, they were fast friends and snuggling as they napped! She's also a sweetheart and is working on learning good manners. Reggie and Echo spend most of their time traipsing around the back yard and napping in the sun. I work from home, so your dog can get plenty of supervised playtime! I can also send plenty of pictures during your little one's stay if you'd like! Let me care for your sweet pup when you are away from home! I work from home full time, so your dog and mine will have plenty of supervised care and time to play and explore the backyard! We live on an acre, and the back half is completely fenced in with a 5 ft fence to keep all pups safe and contained!

Kellie was great with our dog and cat during our 10 day trip out of the country. She did a great job communicating, and was flexible with our travel plans, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. Would definitely recommend Kellie and book with her again!

Abigail was fantastic! Our excitable great danes were immediately very calm with her and it was obvious she was very confident and comfortable around XL breeds. The dogs were very well taken care of and Abigail sent regular updates and pictures. 10/10 recommend, especially if you have BIG babies!
