“Dustin took great care of our dog over 4th of July weekend, which is always tough for our little guy. Like many dogs, the fireworks really scare him. It was so relieving to know our pup was in good hands. We sincerely appreciate it!”


“Vanessa took great care of our two pups while we were away on a long weekend. She went above and beyond to make them feel safe and comfortable. They are normally very wary of strangers but warmed up to her quickly. She’s communicative, respectful and reliable. She even watched our pups for an extra night when we unexpectedly had to deal with a medical emergency. Highly recommend her. We’ll be booking her for future care. :)”



“Natalie did a great job watching our adult dog and our puppy for a week. She sent lots of pictures and updates, so we got to see them go on plenty of walks and outings. She was super understanding about our dog’s quirks and the demands of watching our puppy. Natalie was also super communicative and responsive, and we would happily leave our pups with her again!”


“Natalie has house sit for me more than once and she’s the best! She sends me pics and updates on my dog and cat, and takes excellent care of them. Additionally, she doesn’t mind doing little household tasks (like rolling out my trash cans) which make traveling so much easier. Thank you!!!!”


“Melinda took care of my two large dogs for a few days while I was out of town with family. I received regular updates and the dogs were happy when we returned. :)”


“Andrea did an amazing job with Ollie! Ollie was a little anxious meeting someone new but she was very patient and sweet with her. She’s an excellent dog sitter with a lot of experience. I will definitely be booking with her in the future! 😊”


“Roy is a fantastic sitter, and took amazing care of my dog, I was kept me up to date on the daily happenings of my dog, and I appreciated the pictures that were sent. My dog absolutely adored Roy! It can be difficult to find a good sitter who is comfortable watching reactive, bigger, needy dogs, but you can take comfort in knowing that Roy checks all the boxes of a sitter you can trust with your pet.”


“We had another great pet sitting experience with Holly. She is always so thoughtful and communicative, and our fur babies (2 cats, 1 dog) just love her. What a gift it is to be able to leave our pets and not have to worry about them. Holly makes it so that we can truly enjoy our vacations and not have to worry about what’s going on at home. Thank you for another awesome stay, Holly!”


“Danni went above and beyond in taking care of my puppy during our first weekend trip away. I truly was able to relax knowing she was in good hands, as Danni is both experienced with dogs and very nurturing. I also really appreciated how she agreed to sit on such short notice, even July 4th nonetheless. She even generously cleaned up a few things at my home. I definitely recommend Danni and will continue to stay in touch!”


“Joel stayed in our home with Loki for a weekend, as always, Loki was very happy to spend time with Joel. We had great communications from Joel including lovely photos! Which always reassures us that our boy is doing ok!. Joel is always very respectful of our home and leaves it clean and tidy. We highly recommend Joel.to look after your beloved furry friends, weve booked him again for September for a longer stay, and January for a weekend!”


“Abreena was amazing!! She looked after our pups while a long vacation and we will be booking again. She was very communicative, accommodating, and very patient with our high energy dogs. She sent pictures and videos daily which made us feel at ease while on vacation. Came home to relaxed pups! She took care of our home and left it spotless. Can’t wait to book again. 💗 Thank you, Abreena!!!”


“Lizzy is a great pet sitter! She came to meet us before we went away and was super great with our cats, dog, and smaller pets. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was super on top of things while house sitting for us. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”


About: I approach each dog as individuals to understand their personalities. As a pet parent, I’ve owned five dogs, three of which unfortunately have moved on to the rainbow bridge. I currently have a 5 year old Aussie and a 3 year old border collie mix, both a calm and friendly to dogs, cats, and people. I work a regular job from 8am - 4:30pm M-F, with remote work from W-F. My availability are any remote days and weekends. I can watch your dogs at home during those days or check in on them after work hours and anytime in the weekends. I spoil my dogs and cats. I make sure to play with them daily and take them for walks. Having an Aussie and border collie demands it! Both our dogs know when it’s bed time and sleep in our bedroom. Luna the border collie sleeps in our bed, the best snuggle bug ever.

“Brenna was an excellent dog sitter/house sitter. She was easy going, was great with communication, and sent a ton of photos which is always appreciated while we are gone. I could tell the dogs really loved having her there. We will definitely use her services again! Thank you, Brenna!”


“This was my second time having Alyssa watch my dog and it was fantastic! I was gone for an entire week and without her I’m sure his separation anxiety would’ve been pretty bad. She took him for walks and adventures daily, always sent updates and photos of their activities, and when she dropped him at my house, he was so sad to see her go that he pawed at the door because he missed her! Seriously recommend Alyssa!”


“Jules was great! She took good care of our pets and sent us pictures and updates which really gives you peace of mind when away from home. I’ll for sure have her back!”


“Alma is absolutely incredible! My two little chihuahuas are rescues, they are very protective of their home and me. Alma was amazing! She made them feel safe and loved and developed a bond very quickly. My cat couldn’t get enough of her. My fur babies are my life and Alma was the best! I never worried and they were so happy. She is such a great person and great with all animals! Hire Alma!!!”


“Andrea was fantastic! She stayed with our newly adopted senior *blind* dog on short notice. As new doggie parents, we were really anxious about leaving our dog alone for a full day. Andrea stepped in to save the day! She's responsible, friendly, and responsive, just what we needed. Thank you!”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages; 7 months to 15 years old. I take joy in giving your pup or kitty my time and making them feel as comfortable as they can in my home or your home. If that means playing with them all throughout the day, cuddling on the couch, going on walks, or giving more time and attention then I am happy as long as the pets are satisfied. I want the animals that I watch to feel safe and happy, as if their owners were home. I am open to pet sitting in your home if that works better but my preference is to bring them to my home. When staying at a clients house I like to get familiar with the yard and space so I know of any places your pet may hide away or rest. Some times our pets like to nap in places that we would not suspect and I want to make sure I can keep track of your pet at all times while in my care. I am flexible with hours during the week and weekends. At this time, I am available almost all hours. Please contact me 3 days prior so I can meet your loving pet. My yard is fenced in with a gate. I will manage daily potty breaks and walks regardless of the temperatures. Play time as needed will be provided.

“Grace was patient with our dogs and responded promptly throughout the booking process and the house stay. She also watered our vegetables and kept the house and yard neat even though I know the fur babies constantly scatter their toys around.”

Brenda L.
“Brenda has assisted us in watching our dog Rocky, a 3yr old Goldendoodle. She reached out to confirm details on what Rocky’s schedule is throughout the day and abided by that. Since Rocky is high energy and needs his exercise she took him on two walks and even let him out in the backyard to run around. You can tell she has a true passion and love for animals. While we were gone she even helped with our gecko. She has been back a couple of times and Rocky is definitely happy with her.”

We had Brenna stay in our home with our 12 week old golden retriever puppy & 2 cats while we went on our first weekend trip away. She did a great job - Was very responsive, great at checking in, and I knew my babies were in good hands. Will be booking again! 💖

Sarah was absolutely amazing with my dog Emma and Piper. She came over for a meet and greet prior to the sitting with my dogs and they immediately liked her. I was gone for several days and she took great care of my pups. She sent videos and pictures every day. I would highly recommend Sarah and will certainly use her again!

Marianna did a great job house sitting and taking care of my cat, Penny. She provided consistent updates and pictures of Penny. Marianna also left the space tidy and clean. I appreciated her communication and professionalism. Once I had returned from my trip, it was clear Penny was very well taken care of while I was gone. I would highly recommend Marianna! She is an awesome pet sitter 😊

We are so thankful for the incredible care Ericka provided to our dog while we were away. Our very large dog has anxiety and can be aggressive towards new people, but Ericka handled everything with so much patience, kindness, and understanding. From the first visit, Ericka took the time to build trust and connect with our dog in a calm, gentle way. We received regular updates and photos that truly put our minds at ease. She went above and beyond staying with him during the 4th of July holiday, and her calm presence made all the difference. If you’re looking for a dependable, compassionate sitter—especially for a pet with anxiety—we highly recommend Ericka.

She took very good care of our black Shepherd and our Cairin terrier. The terrier was the needy one not the shepherd, but she took special care with the Shepherd to the shed him. He looks like he lost 10 pounds Thank you, Alma for everything you did while we were gone

Our family had a wonderful experience with Anna. Anna was very kind and easy to work with. She watched our three dogs while we were away. Two of our dogs are a bit high maintenance and she had no problems taking care of them. There was great communication as she would send us photos and videos of our dogs being cared for. We highly recommend Anna and of course will be using her in the future. Thank you Anna!!
