“Thank you, Mindy for keeping Embie company ALL weekend. Your being available for staying overnights with her and spending the days with her were very reassuring for her…and us! Embie sure did bond with you instantly. I know she will be happy to see you again, the next time we need to be away. Thanks again! Don and Cindy Ehre”


2. Dennis B.

“Dennis was able to accommodate our needs, very last minute. He was responsive and flexible. Dennis is very friendly, the pups took to him right away. I will be scheduling again the next time we are in the area!”


3. Riley J.

“Riley was amazing! Such a pleasure to work with her. She is very experienced with animals and looked after our place very well. We have already booked with her again for our next trip out of town.”


4. Gabriella C.

“Gabriella stayed with our two dogs for 8 days while we were out of the country. We felt very comfortable having her there with them and she sent us updates everyday. One of our dogs is hairless and requires a bit more work, especially going outside since he needs clothes and boots in the winter. We came back to happy and healthy pups. Thanks Gabriella!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. Ive had dogs that ive raised from birth which includes feeding, bathing, trimming, walking, and teaching. I even made my dogs food for the week every week instead of buying kibble. So I thought why not help and do something I love and walk some doggos! I work full time in management so my days do change every week, but, i do plan ahead so ill be able to list my hours that I am available. Mornings and nights are the best times but feel free to reach out to me anytime with any questions I currently don't have a space to be able to house any companion. For the time being. If needed I have my bedroom to for a resting point (and away form the sun). Your pet will not be left unattended and with me the whole time =)

“She is absolutely amazing!! She took amazing care of our dog and sent tons of pictures to us. She’s the best!!”


7. Maria F.

“I highly recommend Maria. She is trustworthy, responsive and reliable. She contacted me when Molly was shaking due to fireworks in our neighborhood to make sure this is typical. 8 forgot to warn her and was very happy she reached out to me. Molly had a wonderful time with her and was not as excited to see me as I expected. (because she was content with Maria). This was my first time with a house sitter and I was so pleased to return home with my house as clean as I left it. I will be using her again.”


8. Olivia B.

“We are so glad we booked Olivia to stay with our dog. We came home to a very happy pup and very neat house. We look forward to booking with her in the future and highly recommend her!”


9. Jessica F.

“Jess did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs while we were away. She kept us updated and is always responsive. Definitely recommend and will be using her in the future for our dog sitting needs!”


10. Nina J.

“Nina watched our two dogs after we had a last minute trip. She was very accommodating and understanding the entire time as our plans kept changing. The dogs seemed to like her, and she wasn't shy about giving them commands (like not letting one of our dogs jump on her) which we appreciate. Additionally, she left the house clean and tidy! I definitely recommend Nina.”

About: I strive to care for all animals with love and compassion! I’ve taken care of both small and large breed dogs for friends and family for several years. I bring love and connection and with every dog I care for. I treat your fur baby like family—showering them with affection, attention, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs, and I tailor my care to match their energy levels, routines, and quirks. I work full-time 8–5, but I’m available for morning and evening visits, walks, and plenty of weekend care. I make sure each visit is full of love, attention, and care, just like I would want for my own! When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I keep doors locked, follow all instructions closely, and treat your home with respect. Whether it’s a walk, a feeding, or just some quality playtime, I’m there to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved!

“Angel really and truly is an Angel! She was able to accept my 4-night booking on fairly short notice and was a great communicator both before and during her stay with my 2 dogs. I could tell right away I was leaving my boys in good hands, which is exactly how you want to feel when you have to be away from home. Angel sent great daily updates, with photos and videos - and I even came home to a cleaner. house!”
