“This was our first time with BJ and she made our time away from Alex trouble free. Every day she stayed in touch with pictures and updates and checked in observations about how he was doing. He seemed to adapt well to her. When we returned home everything he quickly reconnected with us and although he missed us, was quite calm. BJ was even willing to water the plants and they too thrived. Her experience with caring for animals shines through. 🌟”
“Bailee took exceptional of our two pugs and cat while we were on vacation. She provided extra special care by providing daily medications as well. Highly recommend and plan to have Bailee take care of our animals again in the future.”
“Lauren was great with Mia! This was my first time using a dog sitter, so I was a bit nervous about how Mia would do, but Lauren sent me regular updates and photos, which helped ease my anxiety. Overall, everything went well, and I will definitely be booking Lauren again for future dog-sitting needs.”
“Katherine was such a blessing! We needed someone last minute to take care of our dog while we went on a family vacation. She kept our house neat and tidy and kept Duncan very happy and loved while we were away. Also kept us in the loop with picture and text updates ? we will definitely be using her next time we’re away!”
“Irene was awesome. We had an initial meeting to review all details, and she sent updates and pictures of our furbabies. We will be reaching out to Irene again and highly recommend her services.”

“Maya was amazing and will be my first pick for watching my animals from now on. Super professional, sent me updates, and I felt so at ease leaving my babies in her care. (Almost didn’t leave a review because I don’t want her to be too in demand!)”
“Brea was an excellent sitter. I have four pets with unique personalities and needs. She was attentive, thoughtful, and provided excellent care. I would absolutely not hesitate to book Brea again. I came home to happy pets, and a tidy house. Thank you, Brea!”
“Ruth did a great job caring for Ruby. She was very flexible with staying a bit longer to bridge a gap between sitters for me while I was traveling. Appreciate her help and will be sure to hire her again!”
“Kelsey responded promptly with a very immediate need we needed for overnight sitting. It is always a little nerve-wracking to leave your animals and house in the hands of someone new but Kelsey made it all seamless. She communicated often and had everything under control with little direction, given our short notice. Our high energy dog was worn out with all the attention and play. I would highly recommend Kelsey and hope we have the opportunity to have her help again.”
“I thought she seems attentive and very nice. My neighbor spent a lot of time hanging out and playing with him. She did let me know.There was quite a few things that were not done that.I I told her to do. My place smelled like urine bc the potty pads were left inside in the trash. I specifically said to not leave inside trash. On way out, toss them in trash outside. I asked her to close windows and turn on ac for Toby when it was 90°..Michelle said my apt was 85°. I was pretty upset! My gf closed the place up and put on a/ c units. Other than that, it was fine.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.
“Sarah was a great sitter. She's very conscientious, being sure to let me know my hound had peed inside and then repeated this behavior. I appreciated her staying in contact trying to figure out what was best for him. The cats took to her which was no surprise. She is a pleasant and friendly person. I would ask her to sit again.”

Jenia B.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter! Jenia went above and beyond while caring for our entire crew—an energetic dogs, and even our backyard flock of chickens. From the start, she was communicative, responsible, and incredibly kind with all our animals. Our dogs were clearly well-exercised and, and our chickens were healthy, secure, and even gave us more eggs than usual—must be Jenia’s calming presence! We got regular updates, photos, and check-ins that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. The house was spotless when we returned, and it was clear that our pets got lots of love and attention while we were gone. If you’re lucky enough to book Jenia, do it! We will absolutely be reaching out again for future trips. Highly, highly recommend!”
