About: I’m an animal lover who enjoys playing and cuddling with fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual and unique needs of every animal I care for. I enjoy creating my own schedule and prioritize care into my routine to soothe, comfort, entertain and provide basic needs for every animal in my care. My availability are weekends and afternoons. Routine schedules for feeding, potty and play time are ideal so I and the animals know what’s coming, if you have a routine set I will gladly flow with what’s already in place.

13. Sydney S.
“Sydney is the most responsible pet owner I know! As a loving mother to her dog, Charlie, and cat, Henry, Sydney demonstrates the ability to not only care for multiple pets in the home, but also foster loving relationships with each of them and ensure they are both happy and healthy. Henry and Charlie have everything they need and more! I would definitely trust Sydney to care for my own pets, as well as recommend her to others looking for a responsible, fun, and compassionate caregiver.”

“Joy was wonderful to my two pups! She kept consistent communication with updates and pictures. She kept my home nice and clean and treated it like it was her own. We will be re booking her! ❤️ thanks Joy!”


16. Mandie C.

“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!”


17. April Y.

“April watched our gaggle of pups when we had to unexpectedly go out of town. She did an amazing job with them, was responsive, and I felt at ease knowing she had a handle on our crew. We have a puppy and an older guy needing medical care and she handled both so well. I would definitely recommend April!”


18. Amberlyn B.



“Amberlyn hung out with our sweet boy all day and took great care of him. She write me a details update after her shift, which was appreciated!”


19. Car M.

“Sweet, kind, professional, respectful, amazing pet parent, highly recommended”


20. Skyler A.

“Skyler was great. Our baby is 16 years old and senile. Skyler was so patient and caring for her. I trust her totally and will book her again.”
