“We had such peace of mind the weekend Erin stayed with our two dogs. She had a very calming presence and the dogs responded so well to her, even during the initial consultation (they get worked up easily and don’t always like “strangers”). She gave consistent updates, was very on top of communication and well organized! We can’t wait to have her back!”
“Brooklyn was a delight from the moment we met. She was very thorough at our meet and greet with her own questionnaire. Updates throughout her stay were perfect.”
“I hesitated to write this because it’s so dang hard to find a good dog sitter, let alone two of them, and I don’t to risk Bri and Jamal being booked up, ha! But they deserve the praise. They were fabulous to my dog Stella while I was gone for 9 (!) days, even when she was having stomach issues. Really helped me be able to enjoy my trip. Would absolutely use them again and can’t recommend them enough.”
“We have complicated dogs, and April handled them like a champion. We got daily updates and pics, and April was incredibly responsive. We would ask her to care of our dogs again in a heartbeat!”
“Angel did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my canine brood acommodated my urgent, last minute request to meet and start. Angel heard/understood everything I needed/wanted for my pups (good listener) I felt safe/confident leaving Angel in my house w/ my pups as I headed back to work. Angel is an outstanding communicator via in-person convo, texts, pics, and videos everyday throughout the day reassuring me of my pups heath & happiness. Angel is bright, respectful, responsible, considerate, honest, and hard working. I'd definitely rehire Angel. Thanks from the Family Jones !!!”
“Katie was great! We received lots of photos and updates during her stay. She even left us a cute note when we returned home. We knew Jovie was in good hands and that allowed us to enjoy our trip. Thank you Katie for taking something that can be uneasy and making into a good experience. We look forward to booking with you again in the future!”
“I'm so happy to have found Alicia! We went on a quick overnight trip and she made sure our animals were well taken care of. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Paul did a great job house and pet sitting my dog, cats, and chickens. Quick responses and peace of mind. Everything and everyone was well cared for.”
“Elysia did so great with our pitty mix. She was super communicative and sent pictures throughout her stay. We came home to a clean house and happy boy. Would definitely recommend :)”
“Jordyn stayed at my home to watch my dog for 4 days/ 3 nights. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. She was really focused on keeping to his schedule and spending time with him. We did a quick meet and greet prior to booking and I just had a feeling she genuinely cared about my dog. Communication prior to and during her stay was very good. She’s caring and responsible.”
“Ella followed our care routine as outlined, was punctual, and responsive. We appreciated her patience when introducing her to Courage in our home as he can be quite loud and demanding when meeting new people. She responded to his poor manors by remaining confident and assertive. Would be happy to have her watch our boy again.”
“Halston was fantastic! He followed every single instruction I left for my dog and made sure he stayed on his routine, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. His communication was excellent. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, so I always knew how my pup was doing. Most importantly, it was clear how much he truly cared for my dog. When I came home, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much!”

About: I helped my parents raise 4 litters of miniature dachsunds, all pure-bred and all sent to loving homes with good training. I've sat for all kinds of dogs - different breeds, sizes, personalities - and I love spending time with dogs and learning their pack mentality! I've watched big dogs like Irish Wolfhounds, Pit Bulls, Labradors and Akitas. I've watched dogs not only overnight but for a couple weeks at a time (vacation time for the "parents!").
