Savannah is the most loving and sweet dog sitter! We had her overnight caring for our mini doodle-and when we came home-he did not even run to us-he stayed right by her side and was happy, content, and for the first time ever, he was not depressed while we were gone. So glad we found her!!

Eli is the BEST! I had a lot of anxiety leaving my animals & he eased my mind greatly. He took the very best care of my crazy girl, Rayne & little sweety, Athena. I cannot thank him enough for the level understanding and care he put into being there for them(& myself lol)!! 10/10 recommend & will definitely request Eli for any further care. He listens to all of your wants/needs. Again, Eli is amazing & thank you so soo much!!! <3

I’m so glad I tried looking for another sitter and found Karina! She did a fantastic job! She truly cared for Zoey and made time to know her, and eventually they became buddies! Zoey has a separation anxiety and could be difficult to handle (she won’t leave the house even to go potty). But Karina took effort & was so patient with Zoey and made sure she got to potty for the day. The house was the same as how we left it. I definitely will book Karina again even for drop ins! Thank you so much, Karina! We appreciate you so much!

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dog walking, boarding, and pet sitting. My background in dog training allows me to confidently care for pets of all temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from dogs and cats to farm animals, and I treat every pet like family—focused on safety, routine, and lots of love. My schedule is very open and flexible, so I’m able to provide pet sitting, drop-ins, and dog walks at times that work best for you, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute needs. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours. I follow your pet’s routine closely—including feeding, walks, playtime, and any training cues—so they feel comfortable and secure. With my background in training, I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and individual needs to ensure a happy, stress-free experience.

Samantha was amazing! She took such great care of all our pets. Our dog was so relaxed when we got home. This was also a last minute booking since our sitter bailed on us and she really saved the day. She sent lots of updates and pics too so we could see all our babies being well care for. We’ll absolutely use her service in the future.

About: I have years of experience caring for pets and have been around animals my whole life. My family has fostered dogs since I was 7, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also worked for over a year in the boarding department at Arbor View Animal Hospital, where I cared for and walked many different dogs. I’m currently pursuing my passion for dog training and am trained in Dog CPR, First Aid, and basic training techniques. I’m very flexible and happy to work with your schedule! At this time, I’m unavailable on Sundays and only accepting dog sitting stays of up to 3 nights. I’m available Monday–Saturday for walks and drop-in visits. I will always require a meet and greet before a first time service to make sure the pet is comfortable with me. I understand that I will be in the dogs territory and will act accordingly! I offer walks and drop-in services which can include feeding, playing, potty breaks, and anything else that may be necessary for the dogs care and comfort!

Anna was absolutely wonderful, and we are so thankful for her! We were a little nervous, as we haven't had to leave our dog with someone other than my parents before, and we were going overseas for a trip with my parents. But Anna was delightful, good at communicating with us, and seemed to care so well for our dog!

About: I have hands on experience with both high energy and anxious dogs, so I’m comfortable handling everything from playful pups to pets that need a calmer, more reassuring approach. I also have experience being around cats through friends and family, and I’m happy caring for both. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be consistent and reliable with visits, walks, and check ins. I’m able to plan my day around pet care responsibilities and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions and prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and aim to create a calm, reassuring environment. I also respect the home by keeping things clean, following any house rules, and making sure everything is left as it was found. I provide updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

Pablo was wonderful in taking care of our two very sweet, but fairly high-maintenance dogs over a five-day weekend. He was caring, organized, and very responsive. We came home to happy dogs and a neat house. Thank you so much.

Amanda was wonderful!!! A great communicator, she took excellent care of my senior dog Jack who required medicine and has Stage 2 Kidney failure. I left her a 3 page information sheet all about Jack and his habits and our house. She sent me photos of him and kept me updated. I would hire Amanda again in a heartbeat! ♥️
