“Reagan and her family did an excellent job taking care of our 2 dogs while we went on a post Christmas family vacation. Their attention to detail and care they took was second to none. We greatly appreciate it and we know we have a great, trustworthy option to care for our other kids in the future! 😁”
“Michaiah was kind and took good care of My pup, Sassy. Sassy gets anxiety when I leave her and will barely eat. I warned Michaiah of how she responds to strangers Michaih showed care and concerned. She updated me and sent pictures of Sassy. Ultimately, she was creative and found a way to get Sassy to eat while we were away for the 6 day vacation. Her patience with my very sensitive pup was invaluable. [ Grateful for this young lady that made Sassy and my family a little bit more at ease while away. I recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”
“My husband and I jokingly call her "aunt Tonya" because she provides such kindness and care for our fur babies, and we trust her 100% with our pet needs. Thanks for everything!”
“Lily is absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of my pug for two days, and I couldn't be happier with her service. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Lily sent me regular photo updates, which I really appreciated, as it kept my mind at peace knowing my little guy was doing great. Her communication was fantastic, she responded to all my messages super fast. It's clear she genuinely loves animals and provides top-notch care. My pug came home happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter! We'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Shu was amazing with our cat, she took such good care and he really enjoyed the time spent with her. She went way above and beyond, keeping us informed and even checking if he had fleas and applying the treatment. Thank you so much and for sure will come back next time we need a cat sitter!”
About: I was raised with animals and have always had a dog in my life. Our beloved family dog passed away at the age of 18, so I understand firsthand the love, patience and commitment that comes with caring for a senior dog. I am retired and love to travel. so having a dog of my own isn't possible at this time. I would love the opportunity to care for someone else's dog and give them the same love and attention I have always given my own pets. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications and providing the extra patience and attention they need. I understand how important it is to follow their routines, recognize changes in their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. As a retired person, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give a pet the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy walking every day and would love to include a dog in my daily routine. I provide a calm, clean and loving environment. Fenced in back yard. I will follow their normal routine and pay close attention for their needs.

“Andrea is literally the best! My dog was well taken care of and she sent me pictures throughout the day so I can see how he is while away on vacation. Communication was perfect and I’m so thankful I found her. 1000/10 recommend and will be booking with her for now on. Thank you for literally everything Andrea. I’m so appreciative of you!”
“Emily did a wonderful job boarding my dog for a long weekend. She was responsive, gave updates, and followed care instructions. My dog has a moderately high energy level and she was able to take him on two long walks a day to meet that. I'd happily book with Emily again in the future.”
“Great experience and my pup loves coming here! Nancy and Sienna were super accommodating and even let me do a meet and greet since someone else would be dropping off my pup for me. They trimmed her nails, taught her to shake and worked with her on potty training. Will definitely call them again!”
“This was the first time Deborah watched Ziggy and he absolutely loved her! She was amazing and kept us updated with pictures and videos all throughout his stay. I would definitely recommend and use her again. Thank you!”
“Rikki did a great job with my dogs, and was a great communicator whenever I reached out to check up on them! I would recommend her to anyone with young dogs, she is great at handling them!”

“Sent me pictures and videos of Buffy, I really appreciated that. seeing my girl having fun and Happy was nice when I was so far away. I would definitely recommend Gabrielle. We be using her again.”
“We had to book last minute and were happily accepted by Ynes. When arriving, she lived in a gated community, walked us through and showed us fenced yard. I felt very safe. My pup stopped shaking with her, he's very anxious. I told her he usually wont eat with sitters, she sent me a pic of him eating. She always answered my texts immediately, sent many pics. She put us at ease and we will definitely use her again!”

Brooke was absolutely wonderful with Milo! From start to finish, she kept us completely at ease with regular updates and adorable photos while we were away. You can tell immediately how much she loves dogs, not just her own, but every pup in her care. I knew from the moment we met her that Milo was in the best possible hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we will definitely be booking with her again!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
