“Samantha was amazing with our dog and she was comfortable right away during the meet and greet. While we were gone Samantha sent regular updates and photos. We were very comfortable that Momo was in good hands!”

“Anna’s simply the best, she handles our slightly-silly pup with ease and is a great communicator. She cares for the pets as if they were her own, and isn’t that what we all want?!”

“Stacia was a wonderful home and dog sitter for our senior dog. She took our dog’s special needs in stride and took amazing care of our home while we were gone. She communicated well throughout our trip. We would absolutely book Stacia again!”

“Loved the texts Drew sent me each day on how it was going. Got home and the dogs were happy - that's the best part! I'd definitely use Drew again, I've got one high maintenance dog and one irritating dog - he handled them both well.”

“Camille and Jordan did a wonderful jump. I appreciated all the photos and communication. Our pups and home were well taken care of. I would definitely have them stay at our place and watch our pups again.”

“Charlie provided excellent care for both our home and our pets. She was dependable, kind, and kept us updated while we were away. We returned to happy pets and a spotless home. We would not hesitate to book her again.”

“Lisa did a great job with our shy kitty and even thought of things I didn't think to ask her (like leaving a kitchen lamp and the radio on for the cat, since we were getting home after dark from our trip). She left everything in great shape, ran the dishwasher etc., sent us pics of our kitty and was responsive to messages. Thanks Lisa!!”

“Noelle did great staying with our husky who has separation anxiety. She took her for multiple walks and kept us updated with photos. We would not hesitate to have her watch Izze again in the future!”
“Professional! Responsive! Thoughtful! Heather was just amazing. She was detail oriented and checked in frequently. We came home to a relaxed dog who seemed to have cared less that we were gone. We were dreading finding a new dog sitter, but we got lucky with Heather! She is everything her profile says and more. We already plan to use her for future trips!”


“We needed a last minute sitter to fly south for a funeral and was so glad Keely had availability! She took time to swing by last minute and meet our fearful girl plus our other two crazies. House was exactly how we left it and all 3 dogs seemed happy and well cared for in our absence.”
“My experience was outstanding. Kari was so easy to communicate with, she put me at ease right away. She sent pics daily, and kept me well-informed while I was gone. And my critters were obviously well-cared for and happy when I got back to them. Kari was unerringly thoughtful and conscientious. Truly, a great experience across the board.”
“I'd give more stars if I could! From the meet and greet via Zoom, to pre-stay communication, to pictures during the stay, Bobbie was absolutely fantastic. She was professional and reliable and may have treated our dogs better than we do! Just kidding... sort of. We'd use her again in a heartbeat.”

“Amber did a great job taking care of Joe and Riley when I was gone for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and kept me up to date. I could tell when I got home that they were happy and the house was left exactly as I left it. Will definitely book with Amber again!”

About: With a genuine love for animals and years of hands-on experience with several dogs of my own I can teach basic commands and be a great companion when you need it. I currently live with 2 dogs and take care of them with exercise, feeding and taking care of them. I also have 9 chickens that I tend to as well. I have taken care of pets in other peoples homes. I like to understand the dogs habits, routines, favorite toys and activities and base my plan off of that.
“Cassandra was amazing! She exceeded our expectations and made us feel comfortable while we were away on vacation. I think our pups miss her and would consider a trade if given the option!”

Heavin did an amazing job sitting our 2 dogs and cat while we were away. She was communicative and sent multiple photos of the pets, which I loved. The house looked great and pets were content when we returned! I would definitely recommend Heavin for pet care!

We met Russ and we knew immediately we liked him. Russ housesat and watched our dog Tucker for a week. We received updates and pictures throughout the week. Russ was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He took great care of Tucker and also was a fantastic house guest, leaving everything clean and even watered the houseplants! Thank you Russ!
