“Marissa was amazing with our rescue Pitty who can be a huge bundle of energy! Loved getting pics and updates that totally put us at ease while we were out of town. Thank You Marissa!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our 13-year-old Teddy. He’s a gentle giant, but also a bit anxious when left alone — so finding someone who could put him at ease was really important. Sarah did exactly that. From the moment she met him, she was kind, calm, and reassuring, and Teddy took to her immediately — which, in turn, put us at ease. Sarah was attentive, loving, and clearly has a special way with dogs. She sent thoughtful updates and sweet pictures and was always a great communicator. On top of being a wonderful caretaker for Teddy (our top priority), she also took excellent care of the house, truly going above and beyond in every respect. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is warm, responsible, and completely devoted to the pets in her care.”


About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life - from playful puppies to seniors with medical needs. Each dog is unique - whether they likes long walks, a quiet place to relax, or a friend to throw a ball. I offer my care to match each dog’s personality and treat them like a member of my family. I am currently available most days of the week, at any time of day. I’m already in the habit of taking my dogs on multiple walks and frequently to the Countryside Vet Dog Park. I focus on creating a calm and loving environment where pets feel comfortable. My home is kept clean and pet-safe and is a great spot for taking dogs for walks of any distance. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all your instructions - from feeding schedules, walk routines, and favorite toys and spot to be pet. I strive to keep their environment as consistent as possible so they aren’t extra stressed while missing their human friend.

“Milo is the first pet sitter we’ve had stay the weekend at our home to watch our 2 dogs and cat. We have an elderly dog with doggie dementia, a Staffy, and a 3-legged cat, so they can be a handful, but they all just loved Milo! Our Staffy warmed up to him right away, which isn’t always the case, in fact our Staffy sat in his lap and gave him kisses within minutes of meeting. We found our elderly dog was calm with him, which is unusual. The way our pets reacted to meeting Milo greatly diminished our anxiety of leaving them for the first time. Milo didn’t hesitate to ask questions and kept us up to date on our pets’ status. Upon return, our animals seemed calm, happy and healthy. We will definitely ask Milo to sit again when we go out of town. Milo has a natural gift with animals and the animals really connect to his energy. 10/10!”


“Corena was fantastic! Her frequent updates with pictures were a great comfort! Knowing my pet was being well cared for was wonderful. Made my time away much more enjoyable and worry-free. Thank you, Corena for being there and taking care of my girl!”


“Josie was amazing! I will definitely be using her over and over again. My dogs got to stay in the comfort of their own home with someone who genuinely cared for them. It was a huge relief for me as well being away for so long; I got pics and videos throughout the whole stay. It was just what my dog mama heart needed while being away.”


“Mia was great! Having her stay with my cat allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry. She sent pics daily and assured me everything was ok. I definitely will use her again and recommend her to stay with your fur babies!”


“Brian is great! He asked a lot of questions during our meet and greet to get an idea of my dogs needs. He’s really good with my senior dog who needs frequent trips outside. I definitely recommend him!”

“Makayla is great! We did a meet and greet beforehand where she asked about the details of my dog’s needs and confined again the day she came to stay with him. She was so kind to my senior pup, and so patient with all the times she had to take him outside to go potty because of his Cushing’s disease! I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to know their pet is well-cared-for while they’re away!”


“Patrick was great with our dog, Bentley! Our dog has separation anxiety so going away for trips is always a bit hard for us. Patrick was on time & communicative. I highly rec him.”


“Ashley did a wonderful job with Blaire and Lucy. They were happy and relaxed when I got home and I think my dog was sad to see her go! I would not hesitate to book Ashley again.”


“Tessa did an amazing job with my overly needy and anxious furkids! I rarely leave them and was nervous about the two nights away but I immediately felt comfortable leaving them in Tessa’s care. Our home lost power the second night and she handled the rest of the dog sit with no issues! I will not hesitate to book Tessa for all my future out of town plans!”

“Samantha is a wonderful person to have watch your pet. She is very hard working, loving and friendly. She took excellent care of our dog and kept in communication all evening both before showing up at our house on time and while we were out. Highly recommend and would like to use her again if she is available .”


“Emma was great, she kept us informed with pictures and texts without my asking. I really appreciate this, I have had sitters that didn’t unless I asked. Our dogs were very relaxed when we got home after a week away, which is very telling for me.”

Matthew T.
“Matthew has helped care for several of our dogs over the years. Two of those were senior dogs who need a little extra care and attention. Our current dog is 16 and requires daily medications for some health issues, so we can no longer board him at any kennels. Matthew watches our sweet boy while we are away, and I always know he is in good hands under his care. Matthew has always been so good with the dogs. Your fur babies will be in good hands.”
