“Thank you so much Sarah!!! You were so, so wonderful to Mylo and I would no doubt book with you again. I can tell how much you love and care about animals and you follow instructions so well. I was so worried about leaving Mylo, especially with somebody he doesn’t know and you made it so easy. You were so patient, kind, and even took the time to make sure the house was neat before you left. I can’t thank you enough!”



“Annika R was the sweetest with our boy Frankie. It was the first time we left him with someone else besides us. She suggested a meet and greet and Frankie took to her right away. Annika is a great communicater and sent picture and text updates while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again! If you need a trust worthy sitter who loves animals she's your girl!”

All in all it was an enjoyable experience and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our house and pets.”


About: I’m thrilled to offer you a range of personal services designed to make your life easier and more convenient. Whether you need someone to take care of your house or pets while you're away, help with grocery or personal shopping, or simply pick up your mail, I’ve got you covered. As a dedicated professional, I’m here to provide top-notch service and ensure your needs are met with care and attention to detail. So sit back, relax, and let me take care of the rest! I currently work full-time for the local school board where I work with students who have a variety of special needs and challenging behaviors!

While in your home, I keep things clean and tidy, water plants/gardens, pick up mail and packages and provide security in knowing everything is well taken care of

“Lauri was amazing. She was wonderful with my dogs, including my senior who has health issues and takes medications. She gave me frequent, comprehensive updates, and sent plenty of much-appreciated photos of my fur babies (and even of my aquarium and flowers). She took excellent care of the household generally, followed all my instructions/requests, and was very professional and communicative. The dogs were lucky to have her. I'll call on her again in a heartbeat!”


“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”


“Cassidy was amazing! Our pup is VERY high energy and can be hard to handle so we were nervous about getting an house sitter for an entire week for the first time but she handled him amazingly, him and our house were in perfect condition as well as our kitty. She sent us updates and answered us quickly when we texted her and was so easy to work with plus she followed our instructions to a tee! I would absolutely recommend to book her and we will be coming to her for any and all of our pet needs in the future.”



“Chauna is amazing and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter! She is always quick to respond, and kept me updated with photos from her walks with Mollie. We live in an apartment with other dogs, so walking Mollie is no easy task. It requires multiple trips up and down the elevator, interacting with other people and dogs, which gets Mollie very excited. Chauna calmly navigated all the challenges, and gave me peace of mind while away. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Casie was a wonderful dog sitter for the weekend I traveled to Chicago! I was very nervous to leave my puppy alone for the first time; especially after his surgery. However, Casie did a wonderful job taking care of both my dog’s health and ease my mind by sending lots of updates. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”


“Lizabeth went above and beyond for a last minute emergency pet sitting, due to do the owner suffering a medical emergency. i highly recommend her services, she was absolutely fantastic!”


“Mary Grace was great with my dog during the overnight stay. I came home to a happy dog and the house was nice and tidy too, which was a bonus. I definitely recommend her.”


“Ashton did a great job taking care of our critters!!! She stayed with them over a long weekend and the house was spotless and all the animals happy as could be when we got home. Thanks Ashton!!!”


“Lauren was amazing! Our dogs love her! She took such great care of our 3 pups and kept us in the loop at all times. This was our first trip away from them in Michigan and she made us feel at ease knowing they were in great hands. We will definitely use Lauren anytime we need a sitter!”


About: I come from a long line of dog lovers and was taught from a young age how to be both caring and firm with furbabies. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. With some advance notice we can craft a perfect play date. I treat my furbaby clients like family. Lots of attention and care. Other than a happy dog, you’ll never know I was in your home.

“Karina has house sat for me/my pets three times now and each time has been great. She is very respectful of my home and the animals seem to love her. She sends pics daily along with little updates and doesn’t get annoyed by even the neediest creatures (my cat and dog want attention 24/7). I will continue to use her for my pet sitting services in the future!”
