“Sharon is the absolute best! My kitties love her and she makes going out of town possible and stress free. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of perfectly. We adore her!”

About: Sage is a small Boxweiler (Boxer X Rottweiler) She’s a love bug and I’m excited to have her in my life. — I’ve raised my dog Blossom from the time she was 8 weeks only till 6/18/2024 so I have puppy experience. She was 15 years old and a MinPin. I lived with my best friend for 7 years and helped care for his dog Chester (8 y/o Shepard/Chow). I absolutely love dogs. I’m autistic and find I really connect with dogs of all sorts. I’m home all day for the time being until I can find a job so I can give frequent breaks and afford lots of attention for play etc. I ensure that the space is free from human food items within reach of dogs unless I’m am actively consuming something. I don’t give table food/human food to dogs except for blueberries. Since my dog is a senior dog she has stairs to help her get on the bed. She has her own bed and kennel as well. I expect and appreciate you providing a kennel that comfortably allows them to chill in for 4-6 hours.

“Anise is wonderful! She won over my shy cat during the course of several visits and always provides great pictures and communication. I look forward to her subsequent visits!”


“Bridget was great! Super responsive and my dog loved her! She provided great updates throughout the day which was great to see! We’ll be booking her again the next time we need a dog sitter!”


“Elizabeth is great with my Husky. She is very communicative and I have no worries when she comes that he will be well loved and taken care of!”


“Michael was great checking in on the cats while we were away. He was super communicative and kept us updated every step of the way which made us feel right at ease with our first time using a pet sitter. Great experience all around, will 100% book again for our next trip.”
