“Rachel was great! Very friendly, communicative and flexible! She was more than willing to keep my pup a few extra hours longer than expected! Very dependable sitter, who cares greatly for you pets! :)”
“She was WONDERFUL. So so so sweet! I was probably more anxious than Bleu, but she made me feel so comfortable. You can just tell she is a wonderful soul right off the bat, and she took care of Bleu on the 4th of July when he is INSANELY terrified, so she went above and beyond. So happy to have found Patricia. I know Bleu found his new best friend, and I found peace of mind!”
“Clarissa was a great sitter for my 15 year old shepherd mix, she sent me daily pictures and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. My Princess is my whole world but this holiday we couldn’t take her with us on a 16hour car ride due to her high stress. I am glad Clarissa was able to watch over her and love on her until we got back. I will definitely be seeing her again to watch my Princess.”
“This family is amazing. I couldn't be happier with the care, love, and attention they showered on Sasha. Great communication, obvious experience with dogs, and super friendly. Thanks for a great stay!!”
“Elizabeth was great with Dallas and did a great job of communicating with me as I was experiencing flight cancellations and delays that put my pick up at a bit of a delay. Very appreciative of her ability to be flexible and take great care of my pup.”
“Bryan was super accommodating and Percy seemed to have had a great time! I do wish there would have been an extra pic update or two but it sounds like they were super busy together and quick to reply when I messaged him! Thanks again!”
“Jane did such a great job with my kitten Dexter! He was very relaxed and happy when I picked him up which was such a change from the last sitter I used. Would 100% book again!”
About: I've been caring for dogs my whole life—starting with family pets and now regularly sitting for friends who trust me like one of their own. Whether it's long walks along the riverfront, playtime, or cozy couch cuddles, I treat every pup like they're part of my family. I'm reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can count on me to keep your pet happy, safe, and loved while you're away! I currently work full time, so am available for boarding Friday-Sunday or weekday evenings after 5! Happy to work with your schedule if i'm able! When boarded with me, your dog will get 2+ mile walks along the riverfront trail, loving care and attention, and a built-in best friend in my pup, Nico! Always happy to provide updates and send pics so you can enjoy time away while knowing your baby is in good hands!
“Trent and Kalyn took wonderful care of my shih tzu Charlie when I was away! I could tell he was comfortable in their home right away, and I really appreciated all of the updates and photos that they sent! Will definitely use them as sitters in the future.”

Kylie M.
“Kylie was amazing! She stayed in our home with our three dogs while we were away, and we felt totally confident leaving everything in her hands. Before the trip, she made sure to go over all the details—food routines, sleeping arrangements, medications—you name it. She really took the time to understand what each of our dogs needed. While we were gone, she kept in touch and sent us several cute pictures of the pups, who looked super happy and relaxed. Usually when we get home, the dogs give us the cold shoulder for a bit, but not this time—they were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. On top of that, the house was in great shape when we got back. Kylie was respectful, responsible, and just a genuinely kind person. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy house and pet sitter!”
