“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”

“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”

“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”


About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
“Emily was wonderful with my pug puppy, Peaches! She watched her for the weekend, and I felt at ease knowing she was in great hands. Emily was communicative, prompt, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Would definitely book again!”

“We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!”


“Hannah was an incredible guardian for Higgins at our home during our week-long trip. She followed our care guide closely and gave great attention to every detail of our labradoodle's care (walking, mealtimes, snuggles) AND to treating our home like it was her own, we truly couldn't have asked for better!! Hannah asked considerate and thorough questions about our pet's specific needs, and provided excellent updates day-to-day to ensure the best experience possible. It was obvious how much love and professionalism she brought into the experience, and clear that she is not only a wonderful friend to animals, she is also a wonderful person! We are happy to have Hannah in our orbit and would book her again in a heart beat.”

“Erica is fantastic! She is very professional. Showed up at the time we needed her, was kind to our dogs, was very communicative with us throughout the time she was dog sitting/house sitting for us. We really appreciated getting pictures and updates, as we don't leave our dogs often and miss them when we are away! She left the house in perfect condition and the dogs were clearly well cared for. Happy to have found Erica and would definitely book her again!”

“Sierra did a great job dogsitting my senior dog and housesitting while I was out of town for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures, which was very reassuring!”
“Briana was great with our dogs! She was very responsive and reliable. She followed through on all our communications. She couldn’t have been easier to work with! Will definitely use again!”

“Brittney was absolutely amazing. She was so nice and communicative. She sent lots of pictures and didn’t mind giving me updates. Our pups loved her and we felt so comfortable with her taking care of them!”

“Gavin was phenomenal. He sent me frequent clever notes and photos of all my pets which was not only reassuring but also entertaining. Everyone was clearly well cared for and we certainly hope to have Gavin back for a stay in the future!”

“Emily took excellent care of our dog and chickens. She left the house in better condition than she found it. She provided daily pet photos and had great communication. She even expertly handled a curveball from an unexpected vendor visit while we were gone.”

“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”

“Asia did a wonderful job taking care of Piggy and Polo! 🐶💕 This was my first time working with her, and she was very responsive and made the whole experience easy. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay, took the dogs on walks each day, and I came home to two happy pups and a clean, well-cared-for house. I really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave them and would absolutely book with Asia again. Highly recommend! Thank you Asia! 😊”

“This was our first time using Jamie for in home dog sitting. We prefer this over drop ins when we take trips. Jamie came to do a meet and greet with our two senior dogs and see the house (how the doors work/backyard etc). The dogs and I felt comfortable with Jamie immediately. She’s the sweetest and very friendly!! Jamie sent pics, responded to my text messages timely and made us feel comfortable overall. Just a great experience. We will definitely request her again.”

“Our boys were well taken care of & our boys wild child got so many long walks to the school park. House was just as we left it. Can’t appreciate you more for spending time with our needy dogs who love having human company!”

Morgan did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs for a week. She walked them and handled my leash-reactive puggle with treats to distract him from other dogs along the way. Morgan is a terrific communicator. My alarm system wasn’t working, and we had a series of texts to try and fix it. Her patience and calm demeanor were greatly appreciated! My house was tidy upon my return…I would have her sit again if she is available in the future!

Super pet/housesitter! Easy to schedule, very communicative. Naya went above and beyond with taking care of our pets and our house while we were away. She sent frequent updates and our pets clearly loved having her stay with them. I hope we can use her professional services again soon!

Hannah took great car of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent frequent updates and was very communicative before and during the booking. We always have anxiety about leaving our baby while we travel but Hannah made us feel very comfortable and confident that he was in great hands!

Emily was wonderful with my pug puppy, Peaches! She watched her for the weekend, and I felt at ease knowing she was in great hands. Emily was communicative, prompt, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Would definitely book again!

Jamie is a great sitter! She is very calm, warm, and approachable—which is just what we needed for our overly-anxious Frenchie. She cares about our pet’s well-being, followed the routine we shared, and was communicative while we were away. We look forward to hiring her more in the future!

Kathleen stayed in our house and took care of our dog and two cats for almost 10 days! This was our second time with Kathleen. While we were away, I was confident that I'd be advised of any problems (there were none) and that the pets were well cared for. I received pictures and notes which were reassuring and which showed content pets who were very comfortable and happy with Kathleen, which is what it's all about! The cats and dogs hung out with Kathleen all together, all 3 together, which almost never happens! Will definitely use Kathleen again. If there were more than 5 stars, she deserves them all.

Taylor was such an excellent sitter for our three pets, I can’t do justice! Our cat and younger dog are on meds and that was no problem. Our younger dog is active and again no problem - she was exceptionally calm when we returned. Our “easy” older dog developed diarrhea and Taylor dealt with it expertly and as though it was no problem. Everything at home was just as we’d left it, and better than if we had been here!
