“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter while we were away for six days. She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand to ensure it was a great fit, which immediately gave us confidence in her care. Throughout our vacation, she provided consistent communication with thoughtful updates, photos, and videos, allowing us to truly relax knowing our dogs were well cared for. When one of our dogs experienced a decrease in appetite, she promptly communicated with us and worked through solutions, which we greatly appreciated. Her attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care for our dogs made our trip completely stress-free. We are very thankful to have found such a dedicated and involved sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Sylvia was amazing! She treated Penny as if she were her own dog. We received many videos and pictures throughout our week away. We will definitely use her services again!”
“They treated our fur baby like one of their own. Very responsive and provided updates on his day. I found them as our normal sitter was unavailable, but they will definitely see Leo again!”
“Enas was so kind! Brought my 2 boys, Ace and Bruno, over and they came back super tired! So I know their exercise needs were met! Her daughters are also very kind and seem very responsible as well! Enas also made sure to update me with pictures everyday! And let me know how everything went when I went to pick them up! Will definitely be rebooking for my next trip! Ace and Bruno were very well cared for!”
“We have found the perfect dog-sitter!!!!! Our boy Finley was truly loved, spoiled, and cared for by Magda and her entire family. With all the daily pictures and updates, we were able to vacation without any worries. Finley already can’t wait to come back!!”
“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
“Very satisfied with the care my dog received while we were away. Communication was quick and seamless before and during the stay. I would recommend anyone to her & will definitely be rebooking again in the future!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Ana! She took excellent care of our Bella. This was our first time using a dog sitter and we couldn't have asked for a better caregiver. Ana gave daily updates that included pictures and videos. She also took Bella on walks and provided lots of cuddle time. She treated her like family and we appreciated that!”
“Kelly and her family were excellent hosts for our dog Oliver!!! They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and loving with our little dog when we were on vacation. Kelly sent daily updates with pictures, which were greatly appreciated by us. I couldn’t recommend her and her family any more highly!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and other family members dogs for years. I would take them out every hour or so (or when it’s needed) I would feed them on how the owner would want me to feed them if they have a schedule set, I would play fetch with them if they want attention. I’m currently unemployed so I have all of the time to help with others with their pets and I do not mind going by the schedule you make if it’s needed:) I have a fenced back yard but it’s opened for the driveway, I have two chihuahuas but they’re a harmless, I have a son that has a disability that is careful around dogs.
“Dawn is a dream pet sitter. She is everything!!!!! she took great care of my little guy,kept me informed with text and pictures very loving and understanding you will not be disappointed. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Eddie always has the best time with Tami and her family! He comes home happy and shows so much excitement the next time we head their way as we are driving to their home. Best choice!!”
“Dogs loved the TLC they received! We were updated each night with photos and info. Lots of outdoor room to play and exercise. A definite 5+ for the love and care they received.”
“I'm so happy to have had Natalie watch my fur baby. She's was incredibly professional, responsive, and shared lots of updates while Coby stayed with her. I feel very comfortable having her watch my pup again in the future.”
“We have booked several times with Diana and Brian. Very happy with the care that our senior dogs receive. I feel very comfortable knowing that my dogs are being loved and well cared for.”

Ana was amazing! She watched our pup when we came in out of town for a wedding. He was such a happy little guy & so cozy with her when we came to pick him up. She was very sweet and even worked with our schedule around the wedding to make things work last minute. Thank you so much, Ana! We appreciate you & Junior misses you!
