“Cathy was good at sending updates and was very attentive to the dogs. she noticed one wasn't going to the bathroom and went above and beyond to get some pumpkin to feed them. she was very clean and left the house in really good shape. she also stayed an extra day for us as we were unable to make it back the day before. She is a lifesaver and we would highly recommend booking Cathy. we will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“shaye was wonderful with my special needs cat. she was reliable, communicative and left my house spotless. i’d recommend her to anyone needing a loving sitter for their fur baby!”


“Anyone who knows us will tell you what crazy pet-parents we are!! Once we met Jody, we knew we did not have to look any further for a pet-sitter! She took excellent care of Muppet, sent us daily updates and took care of our home while we were out of the country for 10 days. She is a wonderful and caring person. Thanks to Patrick and her, we were able to have a vacation without having to stress and worry about our fur-baby! We highly recommend her for any of your pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Jody and Patrick!”


“Patricia went above and beyond during a very long pet sitting stay (3 weeks!) with our brand new puppy Trout. Patricia sent detailed updates and photos every day, took Trout on lots of sweet outings to the beach, even took him for Pup Cups!! I cannot speak highly enough of Patricia, if you’re looking for someone to love your babies like they’re her own she is your woman!”


“Our girls had a great time with Faith. We came home and things were like we never left. Everyone was happy and cared for. We couldn't have asked for more! Great job!”


“Auntie Dianne is an ABSOLUTE gem! She is in a word… INCREDIBLE! We are so lucky to have found her!!!! She has dog sat for us twice now and has provided TOP NOTCH love and care of our furbabies! She is very proactive with her communication both with initial meet up and during her service! She shows up on time and checks in at appropriate intervals with updates of our fur-kiddos (with adorable pictures of course!)! She is easy going, flexible, relatable and sweet as pie! In addition to treating our babies with the same tender love and care as she would her own, she treats our home with the same level of respect — consistently leaving our home even cleaner than how she received it! Can’t beat that! We can say with absolute confidence that when we leave, we know and trust our furbabies and home are under her competent, watchful and loving eye! She is our first call for all our doggo sitting needs! Mahalo Auntie Dianne! Till next time! 💕”


“Christopher was so natural with my pup… they were instant friends and my mind was so much at ease with all the photos and quick stories about what was going on while I was away. Plus, I returned to a pristine house! I highly recommend Christopher.”


About: I have been a dog mom for the past 13 years. I have experience caring for all phases of life from puppy to the sweet senior stage. My oldest pup is 15 years old (I rescued her when she was 2!) and my youngest is 5 years old who I’ve had since she was a puppy. I even have experience caring for special needs as my youngest was diagnosed with an auto immune disorder so am no stranger to administering meds! I am available for any pet care, drop in visits and dog walking Monday through Friday 8am until 3pm and some weekends as well if needed. I will follow whatever instructions you have for your fur baby to a tee. Whatever they need I am more than happy to provide and keep them on their routine!

About: I love all animals from farm animals to wild animals, and cats & dogs! I have 4 dog rescues of my own. Boston Terrier/Mini Pin, White Shepherd, Newfoundland, and most recently a Treeing Tennessee Brindle. I've recently graduated from Penn Foster as a Dog Obedience Trainer/Instructor. I love taking care of dogs in need, exchanging companionship, and simply hanging out with furry friends! Ready for adventures with some extra exercise too!! I have a very flexible schedule and I can usually accommodate to make things work. I have a routine for my own dogs with extra assistance available to take care of them if I need to be elsewhere to take care of my clients pet(s). I have multiple options from a fenced in yard, indoor comforts, or I can crate your pet if preferred. I also enjoy getting the extra exercise and going for walks.

“Regan handled our three dog pack like a pro. Our three rescues each have their own personality, are young and full of energy; two are even on meds. Regan did a fabulous job handling their detailed, daily routine and provided honest updates. We greatly appreciate her as a sitter and will definitely use her again.”

“Bob was a fantastic housesitter / dogsitter for our extremely dependent dog, Lester. Lester can't be left alone for more than a few minutes and Bob kept Lester by his side for ten days straight. Lester developed such a strong bond with Bob in that short time it almost made me jealous. Bob communicated actively with daily photos and updates and he took amazing care of the house, even doing some yard maintenance for fun. We could not be happier with Bob's help, we would use him again without hesitation, and we recommend him highly for even the most challenging dogs. He is a natural.”



About: Aloha i'm a dog and people person i like to interact with both. I go college and work part time on Monday and Wednesday between 8am and 2pm. Also i work bite squad part time mostly in the evenings Thursday thru sunday. I can speak Hawaiian and most dogs understand me in both languages. I find it very cool and interesting in training dogs to sit or to get down in hawaiian or English. I am myself around dogs i can be calm and playful at times and most dogs like me. Not all but most. I am sure i can get along with almost anyone's dog as long as they have been trained well in manners and are calm like me. Thanks a lot I work a lot part time plus doing my internship at my college. I'm a full time student worker. I hope how to do more. I took care of dogs by playing with them, taking them on walks and runs back in the day and swim with them I hope that we'll trust each other.

About: I have trained my two Australian Shepherds to complete nationally in AKC agility. My dog Maggie has been ranked as the number one freshman all American dog in the Winter 2023 agility season. I also have experience with puppies and toy breeds. I have a chihuahua. My family raises AQUA quarter horses, and I have years of farm and ranch experience. I have raised many orphaned kittens and I understand cats. Pet care is my priority. I wake up in the morning interacting with animals and I continue to provide for both cats and dogs throughout the day. I usually feed after the dogs relieve themselves and then I will also feed cats. I then check water dishes and clean up any messes or cat litter. Then I interact with the pets and check their well-being. In the client’s home I follow all of their rules and take photos of their pets. I own my home. I have a fenced yard, and crates.


“Kai made our stay away a lot less stressful. He sent some awesome pics of our dog getting hugged and spoiled...just what we hoped for! Looking forward to having Kai stay again in the future!!”


About: My dog of 15 years (lab mix) died a few years ago. I miss her, but travel a few times a year and don't want to leave a dog that long. I have lots of love to give and I love walking with a dog. I have extensive house and dog sitting experience with references. I send owners photos of their happy pups while caring for your pet as if were my own. I work at home (writer and online teacher) so your pet will be by my side during the day and we will take frequent walks together, if your pet likes that. I work at home and walk several times a day so I can bring your pet with me if they’d like to go for a walk. I’m also affectionate with animals, and they are affectionate with me so cuddles will be on the agenda. I have a park nearby and access to nearby home wirh fenced where I could visit with your pet so they could run around even more.

I love getting to know each of your pets, individually, as they have their own unique personalities and quirks which I am excited to get to know and love. It brings me much joy to care for animals. My mom was a Certified Dog Breeder for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels' with the Animal Kennel Society. From a young age I learned how to properly care for dogs from birth. For the past 10 years I have been pet-sitting for the same family while they depart for vacation. They know I am safe, reliable and their dog really enjoys time spent with me.

I am able to care for them in the same manner you do, provide them with care and comfort while you are away. I am trustworthy pet and house sitter and am happy to give you references.
