“Lauryn was an amazing sitter. My cavs came home happy and clearly well taken care of by her. She was able to get me in last minute and will absolutely use her again. Thanks Lauryn for taking such good care of my lovebugs.”
“Anna is an awesome sitter, she took care of our dog for 12 days and when we picked him up he was a happy dog. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away and kept us informed of how he was doing, this gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the service and will definitely use her in future. Thank you Anna and your family for all the love and care you gave our dog 🙏🙏🙏🙏”
“Penny loved her stay! Alegra kept us posted with pictures and messages on how Penny was doing. I so appreciate it! Alegra and her family took good care of my Penny and we would love to book with her again”
“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. The home was calm for him and he seemed completely at ease there; would not have happened at home with multiple dogs. I am so thankful that Nanako was super flexible as he is an early riser and woke extra early on the morning of Daylight Savings time very early; she handled him so well making sure he got his food and medication when needed with many walks mixed in. Thank you so much, I would definitely book with them again!”
“Apple was great! Fantastic communication and I felt super comfortable with my dog being in her home while I was away. He had a great time, I would highly recommend!”
“Kate was awesome! She provided photos and commentary on every aspect of their day. Quickly to respond and let us be flexible with pick up day when our flight was delayed, would definitely recommend and rebook with her in the future!”
“Emily and Steven are wonderful dog sitters! My dog can get a bit anxious while I’m away, but she was very calm and happy when I picked her up and almost didn’t want to leave. They were very attentive with Raina, taking her on nature walks, playing in the backyard and giving her lots of snuggles and sending me photos and updates. Their son Aiden was great with her too and loved to play with her! Raina got so much attention and love here, I will definitely be bringing her back. I highly recommend Emily & Steven for any pet sitting, especially for a fur baby who needs extra love and attention. Thank you!!”
“Zachary was great! He watched my dog for a 2 week trip I went on. He provided updates and I could tell that my dog was in amazing hands. I would 100% be booking Zach again.”
“Yue is great with my dog Murphy. Murphy can get a little anxious but Yue is great with him. She takes him on lots of walks and they have lots of cuddles. I feel very comfortable leaving Murphy with Yue and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter!”
“Rachelle took in Sushi despite an urgent request. From the pictures and the day I picked him up, he seemed to have an amazing time with her! I will definitely come back to her because she’s been such an amazing dog sitter!!”
“Clint was amazing! He regularly updated us with videos of Glaedr and was super knowledgeable and aware when introducing our doggo to the other dogs. Glaedr will definitely be retuning for more visits!”
“Jordan took great care of our pup when we took a quick trip out of town! She sent us photos and was great with communication. Marley was a happy girl when we picked her up! Thanks Jordan :)”
“Bri was an excellent sitter. She communicated with us, sent pics/updates and was very accommodating regarding our pups needs. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our pup with her. Would book again!”
“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, reliable approach and my ability to care for dogs of all ages and personalities. I have experience with puppy training basics such as crate comfort, potty schedules, and reinforcing good habits. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs, including managing slower routines, administering medications, and providing gentle support. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs, keep their environment clean and consistent, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Every dog gets one-on-one attention and care tailored to their age, energy level, and personality. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I schedule my day around the animals I’m caring for. I maintain consistent feeding times, play sessions, and cleaning routines to keep pets comfortable and on track. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can relax and follow their normal routines. I provide regular feeding times, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I monitor behavior closely, keep litter boxes or potty areas clean, and make sure each pet has a cozy space to rest. I follow any instructions from the owner so their pet feels comfortable and consistent while they’re away. If caring for a pet in a client’s home, I maintain their routines exactly as they’re used to and keep their space tidy, making sure they get dependable, stress-free care in their familiar environment.
“Aayushi was a great dog-sitter! She sent regular photos and videos to keep us updated. Drop off and pick up was also seamless. Our dog, Pippin, seemed to have had a wonderful time! Would definitely book with her again!”

Mia boarded our dog Hamilton for 3 nights. Prior to accepting our request, she suggested we meet to make sure they got along. I thought that was very helpful and put us all at ease. She sent photos on a regular basis and we can tell our dog loved staying with her! We will certainly use her services again.
We’ve used Kyra as our trusted repeat dog sitter and couldn’t be happier. She’s attentive, reliable, and takes great care of our dog with regular walks and thoughtful attention. We always receive photo updates and clear communication, which gives us real peace of mind while we’re away. We feel completely comfortable knowing our dog is happy and in safe hands.
Danielle was such an amazing sitter for our dog Maui! We got daily updates of Maui having so much fun at the dog park, on walks, at the beach, and even a car ride! (All his favorite things) He got constant attention and was never left alone. Her house is perfect for pups as it has a front & back yard where they can play. They’re the perfect location from the beach & bay so lots of good walks for our Maui! I really appreciated how diligent she was during the meet & greet and drop off with asking questions to make sure Maui had a great stay. She double checked with us on his habits and how he was with other dogs, which is soooo reassuring as a dog parent when leaving your pup for long periods of time. Her and her roomies were seriously all so sweet and you can tell they genuinely love caring for dogs. We picked Maui up and he was wore out LOL. She is definitely my preferred sitter for all our future trips! Would highly recommend her to any dog parents looking!!
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur baby!! Kimberly did an amazing job with communication the whole time we were away on our euro ski trip and I got tons of fun updates and pictures with how much love my dog was getting! She went on lots of walks and adventures and came back smelling super clean and happy! Thank you so much again and will definitely see if she is available to watch Sylvia again! Sylvia loves her new aunty kimmy 😃
