“Libby did a phenomenal job housesitting for us and our two elderly dogs. She was prompt, very dependable and kept us informed with notes and pictures of how our babies were doing. Our house was immaculate and the mail on the counter when we got back. We will definitely ask her to help us again.”
“Maya was a wonderful dog sitter. I would not hesitate to use her again. Maya took the time to meet with me and my puppy prior to the scheduled dog sitting. It was clear immediately that she was loving, caring and an experienced dog sitter. I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with Maya from the beginning. Maya took very good care of my puppy and played with her. Although my puppy was glad to see me, I could tell she had a really good time with Maya.”

About: Growing up, my family always had pets. From the tiniest hamster to a large pitbull, I have always been surrounded by pets. I’ve been babysitting pets since I was young and even had the opportunity to foster a dog as a teenager. I understand how important our fur babies are to us! I am out of school for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands! I am available to dog walk or simply just pop ins during the day to check on your pet. I’m my home, pets are members of the family. They’re given the same love and respect that any other family member would receive. For me, this has always reflected when I’m caring for a pet that I am pet sitting. When they’re in my care, I view them as family.

Jessica was a wonderful housesitter while I was out of town. She provided updates about her visits, providing times she would be there, as well as pictures of my cat. I really appreciated her fantastic communication and the way she took care of my cat and house! I found her to be honest, thoughtful, and great with my cat!

I cannot say enough positive things about Mary Grace! She house sat/pet sat our cat Luna and was fantastic. She provided great updates and photos and was attentive to all details house/pet related. She left our place cleaner than when she came and was very flexible when we had a slight schedule change. We’ll definitely be using her again!

Hannah did an outstanding job watching my dogs at my home for a couple nights. Her communication and updates throughout her stay were outstanding. She went up and beyond to make sure the house was in better shape than when it was left. My dog’s really enjoyed her. I would definitely recommend Hannah.

Taylor took great care of our dog Murphy and our home while we were out of town for our son's wedding. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing Murphy was being well taken care of. Taylor even washed the sheets and towels she used during her stay and vacuumed too! I highly recommend her!!!

Susanna is the absolute best!!! She is the sweetest, kindest, most gentle and loving human. There was an instant connection with her and I. And her and our pets. I felt safe and comfortable with her and my pets in a way I have never had. She gave updates. And I felt like i was talking with my friend. I never had to worry once with our precious cargo. I knew they were well loved, and well taken care of. She’s just the most magical human. Bringing a sense of calm to our entire household. ❤️
