Sarah is absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of my dogs and my home while I was away. My pups were so happy and well-cared-for, and it was clear she treated them like her own. Sarah kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also left my home spotless, going above and beyond in every way. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. She’s the best!

We had to quickly find someone to help us with an overnight after our dog was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and couldn’t go to his normal place. We ended up finding Emelyn who was willing to take care of the other two dogs plus our sick pup who needed meds. She was communicative, kind and took great care of our pack. The dogs seemed to be way more at ease in their home plus I got pictures which made us know they were being well taken care of.

Hannah did an outstanding job watching my dogs at my home for a couple nights. Her communication and updates throughout her stay were outstanding. She went up and beyond to make sure the house was in better shape than when it was left. My dog’s really enjoyed her. I would definitely recommend Hannah.

Megan was a wonderful dog sitter who took excellent care of our 3 pups while we were traveling. Megan was very reliable and trustworthy and she communicated with me throughout the day, sending pictures and text updates. Highly recommend Megan if you’re looking for someone who will love your pups just as much as you do.

She was a very good communicator and was very good about updating with pictures, which is what we all want! We will definitely use her when we go out of town again.

Susanna is the absolute best!!! She is the sweetest, kindest, most gentle and loving human. There was an instant connection with her and I. And her and our pets. I felt safe and comfortable with her and my pets in a way I have never had. She gave updates. And I felt like i was talking with my friend. I never had to worry once with our precious cargo. I knew they were well loved, and well taken care of. She’s just the most magical human. Bringing a sense of calm to our entire household. ❤️

About: Since I was 15, I have taken care of neighbors pets and my own! I have had chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and currently have a cat of my own! I work two other jobs so I will need to know in advanced when I’m needed! I should be available most days depending on times! I am very respectful towards homes and would never leave it without making sure it’s tidy and clean up any accidents that could happen, I also am very communicative!

Kaitlyn watched our three pups while we were gone for ten days. They absolutely loved her, and we are so so so grateful for her! She came over and met them ahead of time and we got to know who was going to be staying with our babies for a long time. She was great at sending pics & updates. Our AC even went out while we were gone, and she was very communicative and helped make sure the guys could come in and fix it. Our pups were her #1 priority and I know they can’t wait to have her back again :)

It's comforting to know that the dogs got their medication on time, were fed on their regular schedule and went outside at appropriate intervals. We were happy to get pictures through out the day. The house was clean and tidy when we returned.

Melissa went above and beyond, never letting our sweet dog out of her sight (he gets anxious alone). He got to do lots of fun things with her as a result! We are so grateful to have found someone that our dog feels comfortable with while we are gone. In addition Graham is fairly new to our family and we wanted our time away from him to be as easy as possible. Melissa is so sweet, giving us updates several times a day and she left the house spotless!

Megan was absolutely wonderful staying in our home and caring for our three Yorkies (our babies)! She loved on them like they were her own, even loved on our cat as much as he would tolerate, and sent us daily updates and pics which helped us be able to relax and enjoy our vacation! I would highly recommend her to anyone and feel confident you will be just as pleased as we are! 🥰

Anna was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our house while we were away and went above and beyond every single day. She collected our mail, kept the house tidy, and took incredible care of our dogs. Our collie mix can be highly emotional and needs extra attention, and Anna was truly "the dog whisperer" with her — patient, calm, and clearly attentive to her needs. Both dogs were happy and well cared for the entire time. She sent lots of photos and communicated so well throughout the whole stay — I genuinely didn't worry once, which never happens when we travel! That alone speaks volumes. We can't recommend Anna highly enough and will absolutely be booking her again. She treated our home and our pets like her own. 💛
