“Jessica did an outstanding job with our 14 week old puppy, we couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her! She watched our puppy three weekends in a row, was punctual, kept us informed, and most of all kept our puppy on a routine. 10 stars!”

“She was very sweet to my baby kitty she went above and beyond and answered very quickly. Would definitely recommend and ask her to watch my cat again!!”

“Addie was wonderful and my doggies both loved her! She took a ton of pictures while she was here & I could clearly see the pups were walked and played with during her time at the house. I will definitely be booking again!”

“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby! I never had any concerns while traveling and loved the check in photos. Very reliable and knowledgeable sitter!”

“Haley was very pleasant to work with. She is timely and provides descriptive updates. I will definitely reach out to her in the future to check in on my cat, Alfie! 😊”

“Cat was so great watching our cats for a few days on somewhat late notice. She was attentive to messages and gave frequent updates. When we came back our cats were completely unbothered by us being gone for the long weekend! Would recommend and use again.”

“My cats and I highly recommend Julie! She gives great updates and attention to my pets. I know I don’t have to be worried at all about them when I am out of town. Will definitely rebook with her next time I am out of town.”

“I needed someone super last minute and I am so thankful that Kelli was available! I wasn't able to do a meet and greet with Kelli, but constantly kept me updated and sent pictures of my dogs! I felt like I could trust her and I hadn't even met her! She even brought new toys one of the times she came over, which is just above and beyond! Thank you Kelli!!”

“Excellent communication regarding my elderly, disabled dog, so that I knew exactly how she was doing throughout the day. I felt Angelee genuinely cared about her, and erased all stress on both sides with her gentle, thoughtful care.”

“Rhianna has been doing drop-in visits for our 3-month old puppy and it's been great! She always responds quickly, comes on time, and plays a lot with our energetic fur baby. From the pictures she sends us, it is clear that our puppy is having a great time and and loves to play with her. We appreciate her very much!”

About: *Prior to sending a booking request, please be aware that I work 8:30AM to 5:30PM M-F. If this does not work for your pet’s needs, please do not send a request* When you book with me, I COME TO YOU! Your pets will never have to leave the place they know and love. I know leaving your fur babies is difficult, so I make it a point to respond to all messages almost instantly when I am not working my regular 8:30am-5:30pm job, and within 1-2 hours when I am at work. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all ages and love them as my own! I request detailed instructions on feeding and any other important details to be sent via message or written at your home. My weekends and nights after work stay flexible: sometimes I am gone for a couple hours to visit friends, but if a pre-set plan with my friends is intended to take more than 3 hours, I will ensure you are aware ahead of time so we can determine whether I am the best fit for your pets. I only pet sit in the client's home as I believe animals feel safer in an environment they know and trust. I also live in a small space where I cannot have more than my one dog, so bringing more animals home is not an option.
“Mary was a wonderful sitter, she allowed us to have an stress-free vacation & we are truly thankful. She was communicative, friendly, and provided us nice updates on our kitties. Hope to use Mary again in the future for our vacation needs”

“Emelyn is a gift to our dog Henry. She is kind and provides him companionship when we are away. Emelyn is also a highly professional, experienced sitter with great attention to detail. We highly recommend her services for your pet's needs.”

“Allison was great with our senior dogs, who required a little extra love. She sent us multiple updates and pictures throughout the day. The dogs enjoyed the playtime and cuddles. We will definitely be using Allison again!”

“Like always she takes care of my brats! I appreciate her interaction with my boys. I highly recommend Kara, she will take care of your babies, like she take care of mine.”

Ariel did an amazing job as always taking care of my 2 cats. I have used her multiple times for drop in visits while I am out of town. She does a great job at following instructions and communicating. Will definitely use her again when I need a sitter in the future!

Layla was very reliable in taking care of my puppy! She responded promptly and helped ease my stress with pictures and a sweet note during her drop in visit. My booking was rather last minute so I appreciate her responding quickly and helping me make sure Juni was taken care of.

Addie was amazing with my puppy! I work night shift an hour+ away and it’s always a struggle finding a sitter available to do drop in visits so late. I recently had a bad experience with a sitter falsifying care (I have a pet cam) and I was stressed I wasn’t going to be able to find anyone to check on her because of my schedule. Addie exceeded all of my expectations! She gave Maple so much attention, care, playtime, and affection! She was on time, she communicated well, and she was extremely accommodating to my little requests (like making sure my tv didn’t auto shut off so she could have background noise, or giving her a frozen pupsicle treat before leaving). She sent a ton of pictures of their time together and my girl looked so happy! She even won the heart of my cat, who is normally shy around new people. 10/10 experience! Thank you so much, Addie!

Emelyn has been absolutely wonderful. Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does, she always takes such great care of our dog. We come home to a happy, well-exercised pup every time. It’s such a comfort knowing our dog is in such capable and caring hands—highly recommend!
Rhianna has been doing drop-in visits for our 3-month old puppy and it's been great! She always responds quickly, comes on time, and plays a lot with our energetic fur baby. From the pictures she sends us, it is clear that our puppy is having a great time and and loves to play with her. We appreciate her very much!
