“Jen stayed at our home with our two dogs for 4 nights. We could not have been happier with her communication and all of the photos and daily updates she provided. She handled our very rambunctious young lab mix with walks and playtime as well as provided oral medication and Injections meds to our senior dog. Such a delight to have met her. Highly recommend!”

“Erin stayed with our two cats would could not be around each other. She kept them separate, happy and safe! Our house was spotless and I had great peace of mind knowing she was keeping an eye on things! Highly recommend! We will be using her again!”

“She did a great job! We left super early in the morning and she was willing to stop by before her work shift! She stayed at our house over the weekend and kept us updated! She took them on walks and even cleaned out our puppies cage when she had an accident! Our puppy is super energetic and still learning a lot and Erica was great with knowing how to handle her. Not to mention she also cared for our other older dog too! We had a lot of flight issues coming back at the end of the weekend and arrival was more than willing to accommodate our flight delays. I was so glad we choose her to watch our fur babies for the weekend!”


About: I’ve been owned by several (rescue) dogs and a few cats. Am capable a caring for multiple pets in household. Have lived with 3 dogs for several years. I’m good with all animals and have a tendency to make a critter calm. Senior dogs are a specialty and regular medications are no problem. Done a lot of house sitting for pets and home security. Day care and overnights easy as I am retired with only a few obligations with my time. I am retired so an abundance of time is available. I do have a commitment to sit with a dog and two cats every Wednesday. I feed/walk/play with two dogs every evening and a long walk on Saturday afternoon. I clean a home once a month on my schedule. I am involved in my church (Sunday worship and once a month vestry meetings). If you desire overnight stays or extended visits I’m able to do that as long as leaving for above mentioned obligations works with your pet. My specialty is senior dogs. I prefer smaller dogs as I am older fella and wouldn’t want to lose grip walking or caring for large dogs. Feeding/walks/medications not a problem If doing check ins I am punctual and trustworthy in your home.
“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”

“Evelyn was great! She was super flexible with both having a meet & greet and also during the job start and end time, and excellent with administering medication for our diabetic cat. We would definitely use her services again in the future. Our fur kids seem happy and we got a ton of cute photo updates along the way.”
“We had a very positive experience with Ayana! She has such a kind and sweet demeanor. Our dogs took to her instantly, as did we. We look forward to having her watch our pups again. Oh, and she makes the most delicious vegan banana bread!”

“Maryn is amazing! She took great care of my boy while I was away for the week. I appreciated her updates and communication while I was away and will definitely reach out again for her services in the future.”

“Sharon was amazing and I will 100% look to book with her again. I had planned to have her watch my dog from a Friday through Tuesday while on a vacation, but a family emergency ended my trip while I was traveling. Sharon was great to work with during this time, insisting that we modify the reservation to account for the shorter booking, all while sending pictures and videos of my dog—which my family and I really needed to see during an emotionally draining time. Otherwise, she just completely handled taking care of Teddy while I was gone, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.”

“Amazing caretaker. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were taken care of. My dog had a cough and she took him to the vet and kept me updated every step of the way. Would recommend her to any pet owner!”

“Claire took excellent care of our pups and the house. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout our trip. The house was tidy and well kept and the pups were happy when we got home.”

“Abby took time to get to know my pack before we left. It was apparent she has a big heart for animals. My pets were well taken care of as evidenced by the pictures she sent. We have a skiddish kitty who was not only seen, but comfortable in all the pictures! I will use Abby again.”

“Lulu did an amazing job taking care of my lurcher girl. She gave an end of day report with lots of pictures and kept our house super clean. I hope to have Lulu dog sit for us again in the future.”

“Mirette was great at communicating how the dogs were doing while we were away. She followed all our requests and pups were well cared for. She sent pics during the time to keep us posted how they were doing too. We would recommend her and will have her back.”

We were traveling for nearly two weeks and were understandably nervous about leaving our pets, but Jennifer was amazing and quickly put our minds at ease. She was responsive, communicative, and regularly sent photos and updates throughout our trip. What stood out most was that her daily updates included thoughtful observations about our pets' personalities and behavior, which made it clear she was spending quality time with them and getting to know them. It was so reassuring to know our senior dog and crazy cat were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. Jennifer also took great care of our home while we were gone, including watering our plants, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be reaching out to Jennifer for our future pet-sitting needs, and highly recommend her to other anxious pet parents.

Kayma did a wonderful job of looking after my home and my cat! She kept me updated daily with photos, assisted with an untimely inspection that needed to be done while I was away, and I came home to a clean, tidy space, fresh sheets on the bed, and a very happy cat - he acted like I hadn’t even left him! I would absolutely recommend her if you want someone who will look after your home and pets as you would!

I was so lucky to find Brenna!! She completed an in home sit for my two dogs and left them happy and the house spotless. She was a great communicator throughout, sending photos and regular updates. Nothing was better than coming home to fresh sheets, and she even left me a delicious homemade casserole for my first day back, which was such a lifesaver so I didn’t have to prioritize grocery shopping and food prep. Thank you so much, Brenna!!

Mattie really seems to love our fur babies when taking care of them in our absence. We regularly received text photos and updates letting us know how they were all doing. In one picture, one of our cats was laying on Mattie's legs while our dogs were snuggled up the each side of her. Our condo lobby attendant said Mattie was super nice and great with our pets.

Hannah K. has cared for our three pets several times, and this most recent stay set a new standard. She is tremendous. We have three animals, and during this visit each one needed a different care routine due to injuries. Hannah handled it with total focus and confidence. Medications, special instructions, close monitoring. She stayed on top of every detail and never missed a beat. She treats each animal as an individual. You see it in how she adjusts her approach, how closely she pays attention, and how quickly our pets settle in with her. They trust her. That matters. She is also a dedicated dog walker and fits right in with our community of neighborhood pet owners. Communication is excellent. She sends thoughtful updates, shares great photos, and asks smart questions when needed. You always know what is going on, and you never have to chase her down for information. She also takes great care of the house. Everything is clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. During this stay she managed a power outage and a couple of storms without missing a step. No disruption. No stress passed on to us. She handled it calmly and kept everything running smoothly. We have used Hannah many times, and this experience confirmed it again. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals in her charge. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants their pets and home in capable, caring hands.

I can’t say enough good things about Kennedy! While I was in Mexico, she took such incredible care of my dogs and gave me total peace of mind the entire time. She went above and beyond—not only making sure they were happy, cared for, and loved on, but also administering their medications and kept everything on track. When feeding schedules needed to change, she adapted without hesitation and handled it all seamlessly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that kind of trust is priceless. I came home to calm, healthy, happy pups—which says everything. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly compassionate pet sitter!

Kara is awesome! She stayed with my cat while I was overseas for nearly three weeks and, for the first time ever, I returned to a content boy who acted almost like I hadn’t even been gone (usually it takes about a week for him to express his disapproval and get over my absence/return). My cat is very particular on who he likes, but from the first night he was wrapped around her neck and snuggled in as if she were me! I received plenty of photo updates and he received tons of love and snuggles and consistent meals schedules as if I were home. Kara is just the best!

Kat did a great job with our potty training and teething puppy! She sent lots of pictures and updates while we were at work all day. She did some of the training we're working on. She communicated any questions she had about our puppy and handling her mischief. She even put everything in our DogLog app for us! She's coming back later this week and we're so grateful!
