“Jill was absolutely fantastic — reliable, caring, and so sweet with our pups. They adored her, and it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We were so impressed, we’ve already booked her for the rest of the year!”


“Lisa was wonderful! She came to do a meet and greet and Poppy was instantly drawn to her. She sent updates and kept me informed and I felt very comfortable having her there to watch Poppy while we were away. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Lisa!!”


“The most marvelous dog and cat sitter ever!!!!!! Stephanie made me not worry at all on our vacation!!! I would use her anytime I need someone! Top notch!”


About: Experienced with senior dogs, and I understand patience and gentleness they require. I’m attentive to their routine and health needs. I will treat them like family. I do not work and am available to sit for your dogs or they can come to my home. I will treat them like family. I do not have any other animals and could give my full attention to your dog. I have a peaceful environment at home and welcome the company.

“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”


“We are so thankful to have found Bree. She provided constant updates and was always willing to check in more if we wanted. We will 100% be using her for our extended vacations.”


“This was our first time using Hannah's services, and we couldn't be more satisfied with her care. She did a wonderful job looking after our two Afghan hounds. She checked in regularly, and our dogs absolutely loved her, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Hannah was great! Both my dog and cat are typically very nervous of new people, but they warmed up to Hannah very fast! She sent great updates and tons of pictures which I really appreciated. I will definitely book with her next time I go away!”


“Brandi and Lu were excellent dog sitters. Our dogs fell in love with them immediately and I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. We needed help with a sitter for a long trip last minute and they were so accommodating. Not only were they over communicative and followed all the instructions for our special girls, they were lovely house guests. They went above and beyond, and even brushed my fluffy dog. But most of all, my girls were happy. Will definitely be having them again! 🙏🏻🙏🏻”


“Let me start by saying I have two very senior rescues who both definitely have their quirks and needs. I was so nervous to leave Patch and Lilah during our vacation, because I had never left them since adopting them about a year ago. Tonie was INCREDIBLE! She has a vast knowledge of dogs and their needs. She sent me pictures of her outside playing with them, laying on the couch with them, etc. I will definitely hire Tonie again to watch the dogs for future vacations. She really truly cares about the pets she watches, that shows.”


About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!

“Lydia is great with my dog Fiona! She takes care of her and plays with her!! Fiona loves when Lydia comes to watch her!! I would highly recommend Lydia for all your pet watching needs!!!”


About: I foster puppies and adult dogs regularly (6 in just the past several months) for a local shelter. I have a real love for training and rehabilitating pups to be a blessing to their families. I keep pets on a routine and am familiar with enrichment activities. My home will be your dog's home away from home where they will be spoiled with love and trained on manners using only positive encouragement. I work a hybrid schedule where I am in office 2-3 days per week (mon-wed) and remote 2-3 days per week (some Mondays and every Thur Fri). There is another adult in the home who is often available for mid-day potty breaks and play breaks on those couple days I am gone. During the summer I have even greater availability. I have a large fenced in yard with two of my own fur babies who are so gentle and playful if your dog enjoys company. I can also give your dog it's very own space in the house with their crate door left open and access to their food/water in my kitchen/dining area. My home has multiple living spaces and my two dogs are crate trained as well.

“Boston Did fantastic with my 2 dogs, she was reliable and easy to communicate with...She sent pics and let me know how my 2 dogs were doing, she was very quick to respond...her prices are very reasonable and I would highly recommend her...Thanks Boston..”


“Our home and ESPECIALLY our dogs were very well cared for while we were on vacation! We received daily pictures and updates which we loved, and Sami was always responsive. We couldn’t have asked for anything better!”


About: Hi, I'm Rheagan! As a lifelong animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own, caring for pets is second nature to me. I've had the joy of living with and looking after a variety of animals over the years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I adapt to meet their needs and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I believe in building trust through patience, kindness, and respect-just like I do with my own fur family. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and give them the love and attention they deserve while you're away! I currently have a limited schedule to weekends. If you need services outside of that, feel free to send a request and I’ll let you know if I’m available. I am currently available for sittings, walks, and drop-ins Friday - Sunday 7am - 11pm. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and follow routines that keep tails wagging and paws relaxed. With lots of love, attention, and respect for your pet’s needs, I treat every animal like my own.

“I can't say enough good things about Carter and Mindy! My dog is very old and extremely scared of strangers, so I was nervous about leaving her with someone. But Carter and Mindy were absolutely wonderful, kind, gentle, attentive and incredibly patient. They really took the time to make her feel comfortable and by the end of the stay she loved having them around. It was such a relief knowing she was in such caring hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet sitters!”

Natalie S.
“I’ve yet to meet someone who loves dogs as much as she does. She takes the time to train them (crate, sit, down, shake, heel/touch, and even to ring bells on the door when needing to go out) and she excels at it. I know she has been fostering dogs for quite awhile and always makes sure the dog is ready for its eventual owners. Even if it came from a bad situation, is weeks/months old, and even if deaf. I would highly recommend her for anything dog related!”
