“Lauren was so great to accept our last minute request for house-sitting. She was not flustered by 4 dogs or giving oral medication. She is a well-spoken young woman who made us feel comfortable leaving our pack with her. She sent texts and pictures to reassure us. We will definitely use her again.”

“Kelsey is the best! She is so proactive with communication, sends regular updates (photos and videos) and truly makes my life easier and my high energy dog so happy!”

“Liz was awesome to have spend with my Kema! Updates regularly and sent pics during her stay with her. Made me feel secure and happy that I chose Liz for the extended stay with her. Came back to a clean house and better yet that she brushed her out for me. Looks like she went to a groomer! Thanks Liz, you definitely will be my go to for any further out of town trips.”

“Madison was such a great Rover! She followed my care instructions, gave daily updates with pictures and made sure I came home to a happy, well-fed pup! I would definitely book with her again.”

“Sarah was INCREDIBLE!! Highly recommend! She was very easy to work with, sent lots of updates and photos, took amazing care of our pup, and dealt with all of his quirks without issue! She gave a daily update with walks, eating, highlights, any issues which was a very easy way to see their day in a glance. Our fridge died while she was house sitting and she was very communicative to help diagnose what happened, and even moved our food into bins in the snowy backyard. She truly went above and beyond! She left our house clean and our dog happy and tired (from all his walking and attention).”

“Can’t express how grateful I am for Patrick watching my babies while I was away. He kept me updated with pictures and was very patient with my moody lab. I came home and they were happy as can be.”
“my husband and i hired claire to watch our dogs while we were out of town on a birthday trip, and having her there made it so much easier to relax! she provided consistent updates along with pictures of them. she made sure to even pick up dog toys, and cleaned up well after herself before she left.”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was 4 and have cared for family pets through house sitting. I have experience with puppies, caring for a momma dog and her litter, and senior dogs with blindness, hearing loss, or joint issues. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, and keeping dogs happy and safe. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily life, and I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time for walks, drop ins, or house sitting throughout the week, and I’m happy to accommodate both routine schedules and last minute needs. Pets in my care get my full attention and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure food, water, walks, and playtime are handled on schedule, and I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications as instructed by the owner. I always keep the home clean and secure, treating every pet as if they were my own and every home with respect.

“Ellen was absolutely incredible with Nyko & Mali. She sent tons of pictures which was amazing because I do not leave them very often. She followed all of our care instructions and we came home to two very happy fur babies! We will definitely be using Ellen again!!”

“Thank you Melissa for taking such great care of my pets and house! It was a pleasure to meet you. I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful person to trust with pet and hoise sitting!”


“Maddie is fantastic! She was so wonderful with our pup while house sitting. We got lots of updates, and our pup seemed so happy and content the whole time. We can’t wait to rebook with Maddie!”

“Gigi was wonderful! She was trustworthy and always kept us in the loop about what she and our dog were up to. She took great care of our dog and we’re very appreciative of her!”

“Jada was fantastic! In fact, she was our best experience to date with a pet-sitting platform. She was courteous, kept us informed, and was an overall delight to talk with. She is our new (and hopefully last!) pet sitter! Thanks, Jada! We really appreciate everything you did this weekend.”

“My dogs took to Oshogwe instantly. They enjoyed the time they spent with him. He was great with communication and kept me updated through the entire visit. I will schedule with him again when needed.”

“Top notch. Couldn't ask for more. She was available short notice and was very accommodating. Daisy is a very shy dog, very skittish, and fearful. Latrice bonded with her faster than anyone ever has, and it was nice be know that she was relaxed and happy while I was away.”

“I always get nervous leaving my pets when I go out of town, but I felt so much better with Clarissa at my house! She did a great job giving me lots of updates and making sure they had lots of company while I was gone. I’d definitely book her again.”

Hannah was so gracious to take a last minute booking to watch my pup over the weekend, especially since he is recovering from illness and required pills with each meal. She was quick to respond to my questions & provided communication during her care. Would definitely book with her again!
