“Jamie did a great job dropping in for a visit to take care of our puppy Wally! He was in great hands and we felt very comfortable with her looking after his needs. Great communication. We can’t wait to rebook in the future!”

“Margaret went over and above to take care of Blackberry. While we were out of town, she drove her to an emergency vet visit and waited with her, then brought her back to our niece 's house who is watching her for us. We were very grateful for her help, and she was very nice to deal with. Highly recommend!”

“Avery was awesome, punctual and communicative. Highly recommend. She took great care of my Rott while I was away, and she was so good with him on the meet and greet.”

“Alison and Robert did a wonderful job pet sitting my five kitties. They are definitely pet people- my kitties felt comfortable around them right away. They were incredibly thorough, followed all of our specific instructions, and were able to successfully give my cat her heart failure medication too. I highly recommend Alison and Robert and will definitely use their services again in the future!”

“Quinn is great with my older cat, Suzy! She was very patient and kind regarding the unique needs for my pet and she always spent a little more time than what was required to make sure everything was taken care of and to play with Suzy as well. Will definitely try to book with her whenever I can in the future!”

“Tyler did an excellent job looking after our kitties and guinea pigs while we were on vacation. He communicated often and followed all care instructions. He even got our shy kitty to warm up to him very quickly, which is a feat in itself. Everything was in perfect order when we returned. Highly recommend!”

“He did a fantastic job of taking care of our girls while we were gone. They were fed, watered, played with, and poops cleaned up. We came home to some very happy cats.”

“There’s so many good things I can say about Alex! She is reliable and spectacular with dogs. Working with Alex kept me at ease because I knew my dog was in good hands. Alex kept me informed about how my dog was doing. She also takes amazing photos. I highly recommend Alex.”

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, I truly can’t imagine a home without one! I’m the proud owner of a four-year-old poodle mix and have spent years training, walking, and learning everything I can to give her the best life possible. I’ve put so much care, time, and energy into understanding dog behavior, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping other pet parents feel at ease when they’re away. I’m self-employed, which means I have great flexibility in my schedule and can easily accommodate drop-in visits or walks throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy, a quick potty break, or just some company and affection while you’re out, I’ll treat them like my own. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m self-employed, so my schedule is super flexible! That means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or extra cuddles throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free for them. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel at ease in my care. I’ll follow any instructions you share (feeding, water, meds, etc.) and always send updates and photos so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away.
“Susan is loving , caring and highly skilled. She cared for our 3 dogs and 1 of them is medically fragile. She sent us lots of pictures and information on how the dogs were doing. We felt comfortable with her and her ability to deliver our dog’s medication. She is very professional and conscientious! Our dogs love her!”


“Georgianne was absolutely phenomenal! She communicated very well and kept us in the loop with every visit she made! Our dog loved her and we will absolutely be using her again! Highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a kind person who’s very good with your fur babies!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, and elderly dogs. I love to spend my free time outside with my own dog, helping him get more exercise! I am eager to expand my dog experience and to bond with more animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have open availability to watch your dogs! I am able to be flexible to find times to walk or take your pup for a potty break! If you require a longer stay, I just need to know at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure my schedule will align. I currently have a Catahoula Leopord Dog, he requires a lot of attention and outdoor time. He has a hard time sharing his space, so I would have to board at the clients home. While visiting at the clients home, I will ensure the pup receives plenty of exercise, cuddles, and as many potty breaks it needs! I have my own transportation so it’s not a problem to commute.
“Sarah came to meet Greta before our schedule drop-ins, and she immediately put this nervous dog-owner at ease -- didn't hurt that my pup immediately rolled over to let Sarah rub her belly! Dogs are a good judge of character. :) Sarah dropped in just when she said she would, sent photos from her visits, and I came home to a calm and happy dog.”
