“Not sure who liked her more our dog or us!!! Sammie is amazing! Followed the directions for our dog down to the very finest detail. She communicates often and clearly and took care of everything we needed. We highly recommend Sammie and will calling her in the future!”

“Demarquez did an amazing job and our pups couldn't have been happier (aside from us just still being home). He was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had both before and during the stay, putting our minds at ease.”

“Victoria was great! She showed up on time and gave us updates throughout the day to let us know everything was going good. It was so nice having peace of mind that our Jinny was being taken care of and not alone:) Thank you, Victoria!”

“Sara did a fantastic job watching our 11 year old Golden Retriever for a week at our home. Our dog loved Sara. Sara sent pictures every day of Lady to help my mind about our fur-baby. She was on time. I highly recommend Sara for your fur-babies care!!!”

“Maggie did in home Cat/Dog sitting for 3 nights! Sent me pictures of my babies & stayed in communication with me! Home looked exactly as I had left it & I would recommend Maggie for house/animal sitting!!”

“Alora arrived on time and was wonderful with our 12 year old golden retriever. She is competent, trustworthy, communicative (before and during the house sitting) and caring. All attributes that helped us feel at ease with leaving Riley in her care. We will definitely call on her again.”

“Brianna is the BEST. I would leave 10 stars if I could. Definitely went above and beyond and I came home to a very happy doggo. I have not yet re-booked, but I 100% hope she is available for every future trip I take!”


“Great first-time experience with Victoria. Starting with the meet-and-greet and then the evening of sitting Lulu, the experience was pleasant, comfortable, and seamless. Victoria has lots of enthusiasm and went out of her way to entertain Lulu, which isn’t the easiest thing to do when she’s waiting for our return. We will definitely hire Victoria again.”

“Sydney did a great job house sitting for us with our two dogs. We came home to a clean home just like we left it and the dogs were happy and well taken care of. Sydney brought in our mail and packages while we were away too. I plan on using her again, and would recommend her to others as well.”

“Robin was amazing!! She watched my little guy over the weekend of the 4th and was so attentive to him with the loud noises of the fireworks. She is awesome communicating and sending pictures and I didn’t worry about Roman because I knew he was in the best hands!”


About: My name is Jenna. I’ve taken care of all different kind of animals since I can remember from dogs and cat to birds and hedgehogs whether they’ve been mine or friends and families pets. I have experience with dogs who have special needs and have to take medication daily as that’s what I have to do with my own dogs. I am very reliable and will love your fur baby like they are my own! I send updates and pictures so you’ll be able to see your baby while you’re away! I do work full time but when I am with your furry friend they’ll have all of my attention whether that be by playing, going for walks or just hanging out! The way I will care for your pet is very respectful and positive. I will respect you and your pets boundaries. If there is any specific rule or requirement such as medication, feeding routine and potty breaks those will be followed.
“Marnesha was awesome w our 3 pups—they loved her right away. She has great attention to detail—kept track of all of their quirks—and an easy-going, confident vibe. Highly recommend!”


“Lily was an amazing dog sitter! She took wonderful care of both of our dogs. She kept me updated with how they were doing and was fantastic when one of them had arthritis issues while I was gone. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Ariana was AWESOME! She literally saved our weekend vacation after our original scheduled house/dog sitter no-showed on the morning we were supposed to leave. Ariana was able to come over a few hours after confirming, she asked appropriate questions and was attentive. I felt awful because we have two geriatric dogs. It turned out not to be as smooth of a weekend for Ariana, as we thought it would be. What has always presented to us as food eccentricities and separation anxiety in our 15 yr old Shih Tzu, may be end- of- life symptoms, as he refused to eat, drink, and had explosive diarrhea in the middle of the night and was spitting up on the last night we were away. Ariana handled everything in the most professional and respectful manner she could. She called me at 3:30 am (which I appreciate more than anything) and advised me Mushu had explosive diarrhea, he was spitting up, and wasn't eating, and asked what I wanted her to do. I appreciated this so much because I know my dog better than anyone, and have dealt with him "being Mushu" for 15 years, and I knew we would be leaving the following morning to come home. We got home yesterday. I called his vet and we made a plan to monitor him overnight to see if he returned to previous perkiness and started drinking/eating. Again, Ariana was very professional and used great instincts to overcome a difficult weekend.”

About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to routines, exercise needs, and any special instructions to ensure every dog receives the best care possible. My goal is to provide a fun, stress-free environment where pet parents can feel confident their dogs are in good hands. I’m currently on summer break from school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. I’m available weekdays and weekends for walks and drop-ins. Because I have open availability, I’m able to provide lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship to help your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have 3 dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. During walks and drop-in visits, I focus on safety, attention, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
“Danielle stayed in my home for 5 days with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She took great care of them- one of my dogs needed unexpected antibiotics which she just worked into their routine with ease. The house was in perfect order upon my return, my animals happy and healthy. Fantastic job and lots of pictures and feedback! Thank you so much Danielle!”

“This is our second time Annette has watched our babies! The first was drop in visits and this time she did house sitting for our 3 cats and dog. She was great! She took our dog on her daily walks and gave lots of cuddles to our cats. Our home looked better than when we left. I would 100% have Annette watch out babies again!”

We went out of town for 11 days and trusted Brianna with our home and pets. She sent frequent updates and pictures of our dog and 2 cats. One of our cats is shy and Brianna won him over with patience. Brianna listens closely to instructions, but is also very self sufficient and has a personality that I know she could figure anything out if needed. She left the house clean and washed towels. We have a new pet sitter that my pets trust! Thank you, Brianna!

5-Star Review: An Absolute Gem of a Puppy Sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Lily highly enough. From the very first meeting, it was clear that my pups were in the most loving and capable hands. As someone who worries endlessly when leaving the room (especially with my dachshund’s back issues always in the back of my mind), I felt immediate peace of mind knowing they were with her. She was incredibly thorough in every way—detailed daily updates with photos and videos that captured not just the basics, but their little personalities shining through. She followed my instructions to the letter on feeding schedules, medication if needed, potty breaks, and playtime, while also adding thoughtful touches like extra cuddles, gentle enrichment activities, and even some light training refreshers. My pups came home happy, exhausted in the best way, and clearly well-cared for. What truly sets Lily apart is how extremely caring she is. You can tell this isn’t just a job for her—it’s a genuine passion. She treated my dogs like her own, checking in proactively and even sending me a sweet summary at the beginning, middle and end of the day with tips for next time. It made being away so much easier. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond with professionalism, warmth, and true animal love, book with lily without hesitation. She’s a true dog mom at heart and an absolute lifesaver. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my furry babies—we’ll be back! 🐾❤️

If we could give a million stars we would. Megan is literally an answer to prayer 🙏🏼 She took such good care of our dog Ruby and our home - lots of text updates and photos. Having Megan in our home makes our pup happy and comfortable and gives us peace of mind that is worth a million stars. She’s a winner!

Lamar was great! He easily bonded with our dog. We were glad to have a sitter staying at our house since we only adopted our dog 3 weeks previously and wanted her to be able to stay in familiar territory. He sent a video and msg daily and the house was clean and in order when we returned. We enjoyed him personally and would readily schedule him again.

As always, Kaitlin does a great job of taking care of our animals and house! We appreciate the daily updates and cute pictures/videos, and coming home from a trip without having to do any chores other than unpack. We always feel confident that our animals are being cared for and loved with Kaitlin!
