“We had a wonderful experience with her! She was absolutely amazing with Curry and with us. Our pup connected with her right away, which says a lot about the kind of care and energy she brings. She truly treated him like her own and kept us updated with sweet messages and photos. I’m so glad we reached out to her, we don’t regret it one bit! Excellent service all around. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”


“I think Heidi did a great job, my do can be a crazy person but she definitely handled everything. I tried to make sure I could support her the best I could while I was gone. Very professional I’d highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or walker or what ever your pets needs are.”



“Dawn was great! I needed very last minute sitting for both of my dogs and she did great at being punctual and sending me feedback on my pups! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Mary is amazing! She took care of my boy who’s actually like a human better than I could have ever wished for. She’s down to earth and even read him the book that I read to him. I think knowing your dog is with someone who’s understanding and has a nurturing heart makes any owner happy and at peace while away. Mochi is a small chihuahua and kennel care screwed us over and made me throw up on an entire trip because I couldn’t t trust them and they treat dogs like shit. Dogs are almost like our babies. Thank you Mary!”


“Kimberly did a great job with my very skittish rescue cat who normally hides under the bed when anyone new comes around. My kitty did not hide from Kimberly even on the first day! I’m so glad, because I was gone for almost 2 weeks and after day one, I didn’t worry about Ellie getting plenty of love and attention.”


“Megan is amazing! She took the time to get to know our animals and went above and beyond. She exceeding our expectations by far and we have already booked her for our next trip!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 11 and watched over my family’s dogs. I’ve taken care of my coworkers’ animals and my 3 neighbors’ dogs to let them out to the bathroom, feed them, clean their ears/teeth, and give them baths. I’m working part-time Monday-Friday so I have a lot of free time to hang out with some animals!! I’ll be available throughout the week after 12:30pm. I’ll make sure the dogs are always comfortable, loved, and safe! When going outside I’ll keep the dogs on the leash and keep them away from other dogs just in case (unless you want them to interact with other doggies)!

About: Growing up, my family has always had a dog in the house. After moving to college, I've had the honor of caring for my sweet pup of over 8 years. From caring for my own pup to all of my friend's and family's pups, I've taken care of dogs of every kind. This includes baths, walking, feeding, and playing with dogs from puppies to seniors, all with different needs. I'm currently a student with flexible work hours. This allows me to be available for morning, lunch, or evening walks. For house sitting, I'm available to stop in 3 times a day (or more if needed). My hours are flexible as long as there's open communication! Safety and trust are a top priority for me. When house sitting and dog walking, all instructions given to me will be followed accurately and carefully. I'm committed to creating a fun and safe environment for your dog to run, play, and be cared for. This includes supervised playtime, proper restraint during walks, punctual feedings, and all the love and affection.

Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, or a bit of extra care, I’m here to help. I believe every animal deserves kindness, safety, and respect. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Let’s chat about how I can support you and your pets!
