“Once again, you came to my rescue, allowing me to go out of town to see my grandkids. I’m so grateful for your service—it brings me such peace of mind knowing my puppy is in your loving and capable hands.”

“Adrianna watched our 2 dogs for several days. We returned to happy pups. And we were happy while we were away. She was quick to return messages, share images and updates and was very professional including updating us on any schedule changes. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”

“Charlene was wonderful with our animals and sent plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She was quick to reply to my messages, offered to meet up a couple times before the stay to make sure all the animals were comfortable with her, and she made sure our house was cleaned up before we got home, as if we had never left! I will definitely recommend Charlene for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”

“First time ever leaving my dog alone and I’m so happy with how this all turned out and she is an amazing dot sitter. Would definitely use her again if I left my dog alone.”

“Vanessa did an awesome job with our pup Leila! Vanessa was prompt and communicative, and sent multiple photos and videos while we were gone. She even taught Leila a new trick! Definitely recommend Vanessa’s services for your pets :)”

“Had Ryan watch our little Disco during our work trip to Chicago. During the trip, we received daily updates, along with cute photos and videos of his walks and play time, and we felt great knowing he was having a good time. Ryan is a great sitter; A+ and would definitely book again!”

“Robin is so great with our 4 year old westie Charlie. We always get several updates throughout the day and when we come home our house is clean and our dog is happy. Can’t recommend robin highly enough!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine I plan my schedule around walks, playtime, and check-ins. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening I keep their routines consistent, from feeding schedules to favorite walks. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, making sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping things tidy and stress-free.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, feeding, walking, vet trips, bathing them. I put my dogs needs before my own, that describes how much i adore them. I’m a new flight attendant so I’m on call alot but on the days I don’t get called in I normally am off at 12 so I have the whole day left to tend to dogs! Looking for someone flexible:) I always have the dog on a leash unless they tell me otherwise. I always pick up after they go to the bathroom. I clean up whatever messes they make. I am capable of putting the dog back in the kennel if needed, even though I hate seeing their sad puppy eyes:(
“Stacy was awesome with Stevie and Ali! It's nice to have someone stay with my "roomies" who seems to care as much about them as I do. Stevie can be aloof but he was cuddling with Stacy in no time, and Ali loved her too. Even got really good comments from our dog friends in the neighborhood about Stacy!”
