“Carolyn was amazing - again!! This was her second time taking care of our dog, Roxy. She took her on so many walks and hikes and just took amazing care of her.🩷 We are so appreciative of how kind and communicative Carolyn is when we're away.”
“As an anxious dog mom, it was incredibly difficult to find someone I felt comfortable leaving my dog with, yet somehow Alea made it easy. She came to meet us before we left and spent time getting to know us and our pup. She was communicative, respectful of our space, and most importantly good to our dog. She checked in with photos and updates and even went as far as to bring him treats! I couldn’t recommend Alea enough and will certainly book with her again in the future.”
“Paris took care of Paloma for four nights while Paloma entered her first heat - Paris is knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and knew how to handle everything and gave us tips as well. We’re very thankful and absolutely recommend her to others! I know Paloma is already missing her!”
“Julia was a great sitter! She kept in constant contact with me during her stay, was great with my dogs and was also a great house sitter. I would absolutely recommend her and hope to use her in the future as a sitter!”
“Kenzie was amazing! My oldest cat had been recently diagnosed with IBD and is on daily medication. To say he isn’t the easiest to pill is an understatement. Kenzie was able to give him his medication without fail and really eased my anxiety about being away! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Sarah is great. She treated our pups incredibly well and was communicating with me the entire time. There’s been many times where we’ve come back from trips and the dogs have been stressed out, not with Sarah! She gave them all the attention they needed and I feel very comfortable with her staying with them again.”
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was 20. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and stay overnight with their pets. I had a (poodle) growing up. We also had fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, and rabbits. Right now I am available anytime and on the weekends. In September I will be available on Monday Tuesday morning before 10 and after one Wednesday all day Thursday in the morning before 10 and after one and Friday Saturday and Sunday all day. I will play with them in your home. Make sure they’re comfortable and happy just as if they were my own. I will also take them on walks and cuddle with them.
“Delaney went above and beyond for our dog during our weekend away. She provided updates, asked questions, and called with concerns, which allowed us to trust that everything was well underway and cared for in our absence. She left the house very clean.”

“I have known Michelle for more than 10 years. She has taken care of our pets, both cats and dogs, whenever we have been away from home. She has always been reliable and followed through with any special requests we’ve made regarding our pets’ care. It’s obvious that she truly enjoys taking care of animals. She has had a particularly close relationship with our Weimaraner (Ziggy) since she was a puppy. Whenever Michelle comes to the house, Ziggy flops on her back and expects a tummy rub from her. I am happy to recommend her and I know she will take excellent care of any pets put in her care.”
