“Katie took excellent care of Shiloh. He struggles with separation anxiety from us but Katie was great with accommodating him and he did really well and seemed to feel right at home!”

“Chelsea was absolutely amazing with our puppy Nora. She always gave her all the attention she needed and loved Nora like she was her dog. Her family was also amazing and helped Nora get much needed socialization and playtime. I would absolutely recommend Chelsea and her wonderful family to anyone in need of any services she can offer for your pet!”


“They were amazing with my Bodhi, he seemed so happy in pictures and everything. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing a sitter. Was also very accommodating for it being last minute.”

“Chris and his family were wonderful with our dog, Woody! They made him feel like part of the family over Christmas break and we’re positive that Woody is missing his second family :) would 100% book with Chris again. Thank you for the extra peace of mind while traveling!”

“Cassidy was so great taking care of my pup over thanksgiving! She sent update photos and videos of him daily and her personal dogs provided great socialization and playtime for my pup! Would absolutely book with her again!”

“Teresa and her husband are very accommodating and flexible with my early morning drop offs or late evening pickups. My pups enjoy playing with their own dogs and always look happy in their updates and when I pick them up 😊”

“I could tell from the pictures Rachael shared with me of Buster Brown that he was very happy spending the weekend with her family. I think he even got to share a princess tent with her daughter!! I felt like Rachael and family loved my sweet boy and missed him after I picked him. It’s great to know your best friend is so well taken care of!”

“Phyllis is Great with our Max!! She is beyond patient with our small dog who is HIGHLY energized! She did everything possible to keep him safe, calm, and happy during a rainy and LOUD holiday weekend for the July 4th! Which is no small thing concerning he is extremely scared of fireworks and bad weather! I highly recommend her to care for your fury family members! She treats them just like they are her own! Can’t thank her enough!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care for each dog. I have extensive experience in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits early on. Additionally, I specialize in senior dog care, offering gentle and attentive support for older pets. My approach is all about understanding each dog's unique needs and making sure they feel coming and loved while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure to set aside time every day for feeding, walking, and playing with my furry friends. It's essential to me to prioritize their well-being and happiness, so I always make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether it's a quick walk in the morning or some playtime in the evening, I love being there for them and making sure they feel loved and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to create a safe and comfy environment. I have designated spaces for them to sleep, play, and eat. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. At a client's home, I stick to the pet's regular routine as much as possible. I follow any specific instructions the owner gives me to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or favorite toys, I make sure to keep everything consistent so the pet feels right at home.
“The husband was very sweet and answered all my questions in a timely manner. He kept me posted on Titan and sent pictures when I asked for them. Very sweet & made my first time a breeze.”

“My dog had a great time at Sage’s! She took her on plenty of walks and took the time to make sure she was comfortable in her home. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dog’s specific needs and always kept me in the loop.”

“Willow had a great time with Savannah! She especially loved playing with Savannah’s golden retriever. She came home so exhausted from all of the playing! I loved all the pics I received as well, I know how hard it is to get pictures of hyper puppies lol”
“Trushai is truly amazing! Tru really does her best to work with me when I need someone to watch my pup and my dog loves her! She's always excited about going to Tru and runs straight to her door when I am dropping her off.”

“Sky is an amazing pet sitter. She had our dog for 5 days/nights. She was extremely communicative and responsive throughout the experience. Her experience as a vet technician provided great assurance when we dropped off our pup; and that experience definitely came in handy when she was able to notice an ear infection in our dog. She even took our pup to the vet and provided constant updates during the visit. I feel confident that out pup got plenty of love, attention and exercise during her stay. Strongly recommend!”

“Hayley and Charlie are not only friendly and accommodating, they went above and beyond to make sure my very active dog (aussie) got plenty of time outside doing what he loves over a 4-day stay. Hayley is a serious dog sitter with a perfect set-up for multiple dogs to live comfortably for any amount of time. For multi-day stays they offer a complimentary bath (weather pending) in addition to many other add-on services. I certainly plan on booking with her again.”

About: Many years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to seniors needing extra care. Ready to care for them like they are my own! I’m full time retired, I have a lot of time on my hands to watch fur babies! I have the transportation and time to come to any home to watch them or bring them back to mine. I have a 3 bedroom home, I currently have 3 of my own sweet cats inside, I have 4 that roam outside on their own feee will. They get fed in the morning cans & have dry food throughout the day when they please. They’re all fixed & trained if they are living fully inside.
“Elimarliz was super sweet. Received an update everyday and was just very grateful and appreciative of Elimarliz watching our 5 month old puppy! Definitely will use again and recommend booking with!”
