Alex did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs! They were happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable in her care. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, the house was spotless when we returned, and she even took the time to bring in our mail and packages. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommended!

I absolutely adored Penny, she took great care of my animals but also knew I had a stressful day returning to my kiddos that she got the house ready for me and honestly it was amazing. I will forever only hire her for anytime I leave for another holiday.

About: I love to be able to care and provide happiness to all animals, being able to give them love and take care of their needs while their fur parents are at work is an honor. I am currently available Monday through Sunday. I request at least one day’s advance notice for both bookings and cancellations. For hours between 11 pm and 6 am, I would prefer two days’ notice, but I am flexible. I find it very important to have a set routine and schedule for my own pets to give them a safe and comfortable life that sets them up for success.

Sia sat for our young dog at our home for a long vacation and she was wonderful! Teddy loved her, she provided regular updates and photos . She worked with him on playing fetch and taught him “Stop” while on walks. It was comforting to know our dog and our home were well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend anyone else to use Sia if she is available.

About: I have had a big passion for animals since childhood. I grew up with many animals and always dreamed of working with animals. I graduated from university with an associate in veterinary technician. I been working for several years in veterinary medicine and doggy daycare i really have fun and enjoy all my time with them. I’m currently working 3 days per week, usually I’m off on Sunday and the rest of the time at home. My schedule rotates, I do not always have the same days off. I have an empty room only for them, small cage if needed and a porch that they can be around. I’m a pet friendly and I always walk my dog around so he can enjoy the complex.

Mandie is absolutely incredible. Not only does she treat your dog like her own, but she ensures they feel loved like you would yourself. This is the second time Mandie took care of our Bean and I think we found our dog sitter for life. She sends so many pictures and videos and Bean is always so happy when she comes over to see him — I mean really, he gets more excited for her to come over than when my husband and I come home 😅. Mandie is also just a joy of a person who is punctual, clean, flexible with our hectic schedules and we are always happy to have her sit at our house. Seriously don’t think twice, and book Mandie to watch your pup ASAP. You won’t regret it!

She was accommodating to our neighbor who also dropped in for hangouts with the dog. Very communicative with all of my texting and questions!!

Jyana was a quick response and great at keeping us up to date on the pets’ day. She kept to their routine perfectly and gave them lots of cuddles. Even my very shy cat felt comfortable enough to make an appearance to her towards the end of the day. She was polite and a wonderful house guest as well; I highly recommend and would ask her help in the future
