“Caitlin took excellent care of our two rough collies! We felt we could never leave them before because the youngest has a seizure disorder and has a routine of medicine at night and in the morning. The oldest is 12 and has had some incontinence issues in the past. They both love Caitlin! The youngest had no problems taking his medicine. They both ate and went on many walks. When we returned, we were welcomed by two very happy collies. We are very thankful for Carlin and will definitely call on her again.”

“Andrew was great! He took excellent care of Willow and sent photos throughout my time away. Willow peed on my couch while I was gone and he got supplies to clean it and it is like it never happened. I would recommend booking with Andrew.”

“Angel was timely, communicative, and overall the perfect pet sitter! We intend to use her services again and again. She sent lots of pictures, and took wonderful tender care of our post-op dog during his recovery.”


“Summer leaves the house in perfect condition. She spend time with my cats so they are well socialized when I get back and treat me like I'd never left. She takes care of plants and even organized the cat food drawer. You could not get a better cat/house sitter.”

“Shannon did so amazing with Stanley! We needed a dog sitter last minute due to an unfortunate airbnb situation so needed to stay in a hotel. Shannon sent pictures and took great care of him for 7 hours!”

“Jaszmyn was absolutely wonderful in every aspect of caring for our pets. Her communication was excellent, and she perfectly balanced the needs of our older, fragile dog with the high energy of our other two dogs. We highly recommend her!”

About: Hello, I'm Allison. I love animals. I started taking care of my family's pets when I was 4 years old. Animals play a huge part in my life, especially dogs. I'm a proud owner of a mix breed (Chance) and two other dogs(Loki and Prada. Who are all rescues. Chance was rescued off the side of the road with a minor head injury. Loki was rescued from a litter of pups, where he was the runt that nobody wanted. Prada was rescued from a "homeless", who could not care for her. I'm very patient and loving when it comes to the care of animals. I've worked at a animal shelter/vets office for 1 year. My services include feeding, playing, exercise, bathing, cage-less boarding, teeth brushing, and more. I'm capable of giving your Pet it's medication (oral or injection if needed). Im a stay at home mom. So I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. My schedule is pretty flexible if needed. I have a very friendly and social cat. She mostly stays in her car tree or I can put her in a separate part of the apartment. So no need to worry about your fur baby getting her. I can also crate your fur baby if needed
“Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!”
