The BEST!!!! My dog felt comfortable and happy with them as soon as he walked into their home. He looked HAPPY in every single picture. I KNOW he got the BEST care and I can’t wait for him to stay with them again. I can actually enjoy my time away because I know he’s in the best hands.

Daniela was the best pet sitter for my 5 month old puppy! She was so responsive and sent me pictures everyday. She did everything necessary to put me at ease so I could enjoy my trip and not worry that Hallie was being taken care of. I came home to a very happy baby who wasn’t ready to leave Daniela! Will definitely book with her again for our next trip!

Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!

I’ll definitely send him again when needed, and have already recommended them to friends. Could not have have been better! Thank you so much 💕

Charity took care of our dog for 2 weeks when we were on an international family trip. She was very responsive and took great care of our dog. Our dog has stayed with her before and was excited to see her and her dogs. Her dogs got along well with our dog. We would definitely have her take care of our dog again.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned dogs and cats, and I’ve been pet sitting for the past 15 years, caring for animals of all kinds and personalities. From energetic dogs to independent cats, I’m comfortable adapting my care to what each animal needs. I take pet sitting seriously and focus on making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to do walks and drop-ins during the day, morning, or at night. I also work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexible care throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to board pets anytime and make sure they’re never left alone for long periods. I prioritize safety, structure, and individualized care whether pets are in my home or theirs. In my apartment, pets are always supervised and kept in a calm, secure environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific care instructions provided. Living in an apartment allows me to take dogs out for multiple structured walks throughout the day, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and bathroom breaks.

Chantel was very easy going and flexible. She sent me daily photos and videos. My dog loved her dog, and she will miss her buddy. My dog is a high energy beagle puppy, who loves to follow her nose and could be a runner. She came back to me safe and sound so I am happy.

Arden was a great sitter for Rooney. We felt very comfortable knowing Rooney was in good, safe hands the whole time. Arden sent us lots of photos and kept us updated on how Rooney was doing, including their daily walks and activities. We would absolutely recommend Arden and will definitely reach out to her again whenever we need someone we trust to watch Rooney.

Grace and Kyle have been amazing with our French bull dog Aubi! My husband and are I dentists and work full time, so Aubi would go weekly to their house for daycare while we are at work. They’ve also done overnight stays for us and have been wonderful. They take care of our baby like she’s their own! And she gets lots of exercise with them so they help keep her in shape. She gets along great with Grace’s two dogs Pinto and Beans. Grace sends lots of updates and photos and is super quick and responsive on the app. Our dog is pretty high maintenance and sometimes won’t eat when we are out of town and Grace was so kind and caring she hand fed our little diva her food. I would 100% recommend Grace and her husband to anyone looking for someone to watch their furry friends :)!

Sarah and her husband Doug were fantastic sitters for our dog, Rooney. We had absolutely no worries during the entire week she stayed with them. They were extremely easy to communicate with, consistently responsive, and provided plenty of thoughtful updates that kept us at ease. They also really took the time to understand Rooney’s quirks and personality, which made a huge difference. It was clear she felt comfortable and well cared for in their home. Their own dog, Duke, is incredibly sweet, and they got along wonderfully. We would be very happy to use their services again and highly recommend Sarah and Doug to anyone looking for reliable, warm, and attentive sitters.

The absolute best staycation for my pups! I have a young boy and an old girl and I am THAT pet owner - the one who labels food servings for each day and each dog, the one with my own separation anxiety, the one who will send a novella about my pups needs/likes. Virgina took my crazy in stride and comforted every question or worry I had. She sent pics and videos during their stay, which was very appreciated. I never had a single doubt they were comfortable and loved. My dogs bonded with hers and made themselves right at home. They played, napped, exercised, got pets, all the fun things! Our plane home was delayed due to weather, Virgina was so accommodating and flexible with our chaos. I honestly can't thank her enough for her time, consideration, and obvious heart for pets! ❤️❤️❤️
