“Ziggy and Zuzu had a great time with Amanda and her family. They loved all the attention and pets playing in the backyard. Amanda gave me great updates with pictures and responds quickly. Hope she can sit for us again!”


“Lloyd watched our babies for the first time this last week. We are over protective of our fur kids especially since one of them can be a bit difficult. Lloyd made us feel very comfortable from the meet and greet on. I especially appreciated that he asked for us to keep him updated when we got home since unexpected delays can occur. Our house was very clean and pups were safe and happy. Thanks, Lloyd!”


“Jaelyn was fantastic! Perry was comfortable with her right away which put us all at ease to leave him with her. Perry is an older guy with health issues and she took perfect care of him while we needed to be away. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others. Thank you, Jaelyn!”


“Tori was fantastic. She watched over our house and tended to our pets during a 2 week vacation. Print in her response, and great with check-ins. I would use again and highly recommend!”


“Absolutely fantastic experience with Stephanie on Rover! She provided top-notch care for my dogs, demonstrating genuine love and attention. Stephanie's regular updates and photos kept me reassured while I was away. Professional, reliable, and she truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely entrust her with my dogs' care in the future. Five stars without a doubt!”


“Laura is wonderful with my two weimaraner puppies. She is very attenative and gives them the much needed attention they both deserve. I feel so comfortable leaving them alone with her when I'm working 12hr shifts at the hospital.”


“Alexis was so accommodating of our pets needs while we were away. She kept our pup active and gave lots of attention to the cats. She was responsive and respectful of our space. Highly recommend her services.”


“Have absolutely no complaints! We were gone for 10 days leaving behind 3 animals and Heaven took amazing care of them. I had daily pictures of all three animals. We ran out of cat food, she got some and went above and beyond and even got a litter scooper. She is a rockstar and will be our go to from now on!”


“She did such an awesome job with our dogs and house while my little family was away! Very quick to respond and sent regular updates! My dogs can be a handful to new people but she loved them like her own :) the house also looks just like we left it! 10/10 will be booking with Hailey again !”


“We highly recommend Abigail for your pets, she was amazing. She is a true heart animal lover and it's obvious. She stayed with our 7 yr old german shepherd and a 6 month old Doodle puppy who is still potty training and learning how to behave. Both our dogs are spoiled cuddlers! We came home from a two week vacation to a super clean house, all the linens including dog beds and blankets laundered, very happy dogs and also appreciated her daily messages and photos. We hope we can have her again for our future trips.”


About: Now being a stay at home mom to an almost 1 year old, we need something to do during the week! We are available for walks, drop ins and will even bathe upon request! If you book us for sitting please know that I will not be staying in your home. Unless you / my family is okay with my daughter and my husband staying with me. I am available to stop in / hangout during the day and throughout the night. I am a new stay at home mom whose husband works during the week, so I am available 7am-7pm on weekdays. Available most weekends and will provide plenty of notice if I will not be available, as well as give you recommendations for other sitters. I am available for sitting as long as I do not need tk stay in your home. Depending on the service you book your dog will always get at least a 10 min walk with 10 minutes of play time. I try to let the dogs settle before having to leave. Puppies to seniors are all excepted!

“Jo Ann and our yellow Lab "Gracie" became good friends. We felt very comfortable with Jo Ann staying at our house and watching Gracie while we were gone. When we would say Jo Anns name, Gracie goes to the front window to see if she is there. When we returned, the house was clean and neat. We would have Jo Ann back to house sit anytime and highly recommend her to anyone needing her service.”
