“Stephanie is simply amazing. Our pups love her and she is so easy to work with, she’s great. Once we start planning a trip one of our first moves is to make sure Stephanie can house sit and pup sit our two pooches and once we know she’s able to, our trip planning always gets so much easier. Stephanie is a really hard worker and is often busy working, but when she’s staying with our pups she ALWAYS make sure she has quality time for our doggos and when we are out of town and she’s with our pups she gives us regular updates on how they’re doing, which are always very appreciated.”

“Diane is incredibly thoughtful, conscientious, and kind. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats that all have particular needs, and she took the time to learn about navigating these "waters" with such consideration and professionalism. She exudes positive energy and prioritizes creating a trusting relationship with each of them, and the humans. She keeps us informed leading up to her stay, during her time with them, and after leaving. We are so grateful to work with Diane, and having our little fuzzy monsters in her care is a such a relief when we are away from home!”
“We had Cheryl watch our senior dog, who had only ever been left overnight with family before, so I was definitely a bit nervous. Cheryl was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease right away. She took such great care of our dog and kept us consistently updated, which meant so much to us. We could not be happier with the experience and will definitely be using Cheryl again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Miguel could not have possibly been better. He took great care of all 3 of my dogs as well as I do. He kept me up to date with messages and pictures and videos. I will use Miguel every time if at all possible.”

“Dana is beyond... she's the best dog sitter we've ever had! She loved on the doggies and took such great care of them. She sent me pics and stories of what they were doing for the entire trip. It feels so good to find someone that honestly cares about your dogs and give such a sense of comfort when I have to be away. THANKS DANA!!!”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve just really cherished being around animals, even the ones who aren’t super cuddly. I have a lot of patience and respect for each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their people are away. I work full time during the week and try to stay busy on the weekend, but I will absolutely work my weekend schedule around you/your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced backyard and plenty of space inside for house-trained pets to relax, whether that’s on the couch, a comfy chair, or the floor. I share my home with one dog, a terrier mix named Minnie. She’s playful and friendly, but if your dog prefers to keep to themselves, I can easily keep them separated. Older dogs sometimes find her a bit too energetic, while younger pups usually have a great time playing with her.
“Sarah was amazing! Our pup felt very comfortable with her and was treated great! Sarah provided awesome updates and made us feel really comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”

“Joanna was great. She obviously loves cats and knows a ton about them, which made me very comfortable leaving her in charge of my 2 guys. She sent me updates including video clips of her engaging and playing with the boys every day. Would definitely rebook”

“Maddie was just what our family needed. She is responsible and a good communicator- our two Goldens really felt relaxed around her and she gave them really good care. Maddie even got our one storm-phobic dog through two Thunderstorms and they had all their needs met. We felt completely at ease being out of town and leaving Maddie in charge.”

“Ashley did a great job watching our puppy in our home for a few hours. He was just neutered and she made sure to follow special care instructions. She sent multiple updates and pictures throughout the day!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Brian! He stayed at our home for a full week while we were away and took amazing care of our two pets — our cat, who requires daily medication, and our older French bulldog. Both animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when we returned.”

“Dorota and Olivia did a fantastic job taking care of our little guy! They stayed over at our house and made sure our dog was well taken care of. They communicated promptly and sent lots of pictures during the stay. We can’t wait to book again!”

“Justice took good care of my dog and four cats. She was very communicative and had to follow a medication regimen and somewhat complicated feeding system. I will definitely book her again when I’m next out of town!”

“Jamie is the best! We can always tell that she takes such good care of our dog, Kenai, when we are gone. She does a great job at accommodating his set routine, and she was kind enough to water our plants & leave our house spotless for when we got back from vacation 🥲”

“Amanda was so incredible to work with! So responsive, sweet, caring and asked questions to ensure we were comfortable heading into her watching the dogs! She watched both of our dogs during our wedding weekend for us and went above and beyond by helping get them to our ceremony! I cannot recommend Amanda enough and she will definitely be watching our pups again for us!!!!”


About: I have been watching my friends’, family’s, and neighbors’ pets for 5+ years now. I offer a “Wow” factor of service that goes beyond the traditional water, food, bathroom routine. When I care for any pet, I take the extra care and time to play and cuddle so your fuzzy friend is never lonely. I make sure to bring my Polaroid camera to take pictures of your pet while you’re away so you never miss a moment and can display your cutie anywhere in the home - completely complimentary! I also have extensive experience with administering medicines like liquids, pills and subcutaneous fluids to differently abled pets. My own cat has needed each of those in the past so I have grown comfortable doing so and take extra care in the practice. My service is exemplary; neighbors who no longer live close to me still call me up to take care of their pets. I can’t wait to take care of yours! I am a primary grades teacher on summer break. This means I have lots of unused patience I typically spend on my little ones to use on taking care of your beloved pets and household, as well as lots of time on my hands to attend to your needs! I care for any pet like they are my pet. As a pet owner myself, it is so hard being away and worrying how they’re doing. When I leave them in others’ care, I would hope they care for my pet like they are their own. I take this philosophy into the homes and lives of others. With extensive practice in child care, pet care and medicine management, and house sitting, I will come to your aid with a lens of empathy and compassion.
“Angelina was so wonderful with our dog Odis for her overnight stay while we went out of town on vacation. She is very responsive, communicative, and clean. Highly recommend! We can’t wait to have her come back again!”

Vito was absolutely wonderful with our two Frenchies, Talula and Bruce! 🐾 He stayed in our home for 4 nights and cared for both our pups and our space with kindness and respect. He kept us updated daily with pictures and videos, and went above and beyond feeding, playing, grooming, and loving on them. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. We’re truly grateful and highly recommend Vito!

We are so grateful to Anthony for spending the weekend with our Sophie. She's a great judge of character and she took to him immediately. All the neighbors have commented on how well he worked with her and how happy she seemed. We will unquestionably rely on Anthony in the future. He is marvelous!
