“I felt really comfortable leaving my pets and home with Jackie. My pets get really sad when I leave and I knew they were in good hands the moment they met her. I’m happy to have found a pet sitter like Jackie where my pets can build a relationship with someone for when I travel for work and will be booking again right away!”


“We hired Ryan to stay at our house while we were on vacation. We have a high maintenance dog and older cat, and I’m a little type A, so I was a teeny bit worried. I did not need to be at all. Ryan was awesome! He kept us updated with photos, asked questions if he wasn’t sure about something and loved our pets! They were both very happy when we got home. In fact, I’m booking Ryan again, in a month, for an overnight stay! Can’t say enough good things, very happy I found him!”


“Haley was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Penny! From the beginning, communication was clear, friendly, and prompt. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She arrived on time, followed all instructions perfectly, and left everything spotless. Penny clearly loved spending time with her. I could tell she was well cared for and happy when I got back. I wouldn't hesitate to book Haley again.”


“Jessie is great! If you have a dog with some personality issues, she can handle it. Our old pup is a tough customer but she won him over. Great communication and flexibility. Def recommend!”


“Carolyn is absolutely wonderful person and caregiver to my 2 furry boys. She is calm, careful, respectful, dependable, responsive and just top notch -will definitely book with her again.”

“Nicole was an amazing dog sitter! She worked from home so she could stay with my anxious pup. Communication was excellent - timely responses and I got pictures every day. She even left a little postcard of pictures she took of my dog for me when I get home! So cute! I felt comfortable with her at my house, which she left as tidy as she found it. Anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets.”


“Sara was amazing watching our dog. We were given updates and pictures while we were on our trip to put our minds at ease. Our dog loved her and was well taken care of. She left our house super clean after staying there for a week. It can be hard to put faith and trust into someone to watch your house and pet that you love, but we are so glad we found Sara to take care of our dog. Would highly recommend”

“Gabriella was a life saver helping us to fill a care gap for our pups while we were away for our honeymoon. She scheduled a meet and greet right away and was very communicative during her time with them despite us being out of the country no less. Our boys are a rather large handful but Gabriella was more than willing to be firm with them. It was clear they were well loved and cared for and we couldn't recommend her more for your own pups!”


About: I’ve always been around dogs and cats growing up. My grandmother owned an in-home dog grooming business that I assisted with from a young age. I’ve had my own family dogs since the age of 7. Whenever friends or family have gone out of town, they trusted me to look after their dogs as well as cats. Currently I have a 3-year-old catahoula leopard / lab mix and an 8-year-old brown tabby cat. During the week I work 9-5 from home. I tend to have most of my meetings early in the morning due to time zone differences, meaning I have the majority of the day to look after your dog. On weekends my availability can start as early as 9AM. I am typically available I don’t ski or snowboard – so you don’t have to worry about me being in the mountains. 1. There are many outdoor parks near my apartment building, as well as a dog run in the apartment complex itself. My 3-year-old pup is extremely friendly and playful, meaning your furry friend will always have someone to keep them company, should they want a friend.

About: Lifelong experience and dedication to animal care. I've owned and cared for various pets throughout my life, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing special attention. I've taken care of many different pets, including dogs, cats, and caged pets. I often serve as the primary caregiver while my parents worked or traveled. This has taught me the importance of routine, patience, and personalized care. My skills include training puppies with positive reinforcement and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels loved and well-cared for, just like my own. I work a nine to five Monday through Friday so weekends and afternoons will give me plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I have a fenced in dog park in my apartment building and I live right next to a spacious field where doggies love to play. They are welcome to be in my apartment and have cuddles, alone time, and receive precious care.

She sent pictures and videos of his day and let me know each time he ate and had a potty break so I knew my pup was comfortable because he stayed on schedule even in a new environment with someone he has never met before. Highly recommend. Will DEFINITELY be using Darrean's services again.”


Colette H.
“Colette is hands down one of the most caring, responsible, and thoughtful girl when it comes to people and also pets. Growing up with Colette, I’ve been around her many pets through the years and have always been so impressed with the care and love she’s shown them making them the happiest and healthiest animals. Spending time outdoors, going on walks and hikes, playing at the dog park, and lots of cuddles are just a few of the ways I’ve seen Colette care for animals personally. I personally have a 15 year old dog who is deaf and visually impaired that my family has trusted Colette to watch for us many times.”
