“Spud had a great time with Enas and her family! She sent pictures and updates every day, made sure to keep his things in good order, and was accommodating to my flight schedule! We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Once again, Natalie and Michael were wonderful with our dogs. They accommodated a last minute request, coming to the house to let dogs out multiple times a day, feeding them and taking them for walks. Natalie provided regular updates with photos. The dogs love them both. They're terrific, and I highly recommend them. We will definitely ask for Natalie and Michael again.”

“So glad that I found Grace! I had a quick trip for work and she was able to take care of my Lady. Grace is so kind and did a fabulous job keeping me informed about Lady. I received photos and videos of their time together. Thank you also for sharing your pups toys and treats with mine. We hope to have more stays with you in the future. Thanks for being my “Saving Grace”!”

“This was my first time working with Dawn and let me tell you she was awesome. She had my Stu over 4th of July weekend and even with the fireworks and her knowing that he does not like them she spent time in the basement so that he would not have to hear them. I can't say enough I will definitely be using her again.”

“Linda and her family were phenomenal. I got updated pictures and feedback everyday we were gone for vacation, Linda was so understanding when last minute my dog got an ear infection and ended up needing medication before we left, and when we picked her up she was walked and medicated for the evening. Linda was so kind, VERY quick with responding and reassurance, and organized. This was my first experience with Rover. Right away I knew Linda would be trustworthy and good with my pup. She had a fenced in yard where the dogs would chase each other and get out energy Thank you Linda and family for taking such great care of Luna! Hopefully she’ll see you guys and Daisy soon!”


“Our dog Bella stayed for over a week with Julie and her family. We received several pictures and updates while we were away. Bella was well cared for and met many new friends. I would recommend Julie highly.”


“Dakota was so happy to be a part of Pennie’s home for the weekend. Pennie left numerous updates and pictures to give us peace of mind that all was well. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided!”

“Absolutely wonderful. I honestly cannot say enough nice things about Peg. Our dog, who will not eat if she’s nervous or upset, ate just fine with Peg. Her dog Mila is chill and adapts well to a dog guest. She sent us texts and photos to update us. She’s a lovely person who is also great with dogs. You can’t ask for more in a dog sitter.”

“Nardine was very accommodating. I had to sit with Nardine in the yard to let my dog get to know her. It took about 30 mins. But Sugar adjusted. Nardine thank you for your patience. I would highly recommend. I will be using her again Jean”

“I cannot recommend Lupita G. enough! She took such amazing care of my dog, treating them like her own. From the moment I dropped my pup off, I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands. Lupita provided frequent updates, complete with adorable pictures, which made me feel connected even while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter, Lupita is the one! I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Lupita!”

“Thank you Kimberly for taking care of Ripley! We really enjoyed the pictures and the updates on Ripley! Also, we really appreciated you making sure Ripley ate something while staying with you! You made our trip away enjoyable knowing Ripley was taken care of! We would definitely book with you again!!!!😊”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I have a dog of my own who I personally potty trained and taught basic tricks, which has given me a strong understanding of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I am very caring and truly love animals more than anything, treating every dog as if they were my own. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while following their routines closely, and I always make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets. I prefer morning and afternoon schedules, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy building my day around pets’ routines to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and well-loved. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I treat every home and pet with respect and care.

About: Pet Care Experience I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog and understand the responsibilities involved in providing daily care. My duties included feeding and providing fresh water, taking my dog on regular walks for exercise, grooming, cleaning up after them, and ensuring they had a safe and comfortable environment. I also monitored my dog's health and behavior, administered medications when needed as directed, and provided plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to support their overall well-being. Through this experience, I developed patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of the importance of consistent, compassionate pet care. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I make time each day to feed my dog, provide fresh water, take them on walks, clean up after them, and spend time playing and interacting with them. I also make sure they receive any needed grooming and monitor their health and behavior to ensure they are happy and well cared for. Caring for my dog has helped me develop consistency, responsibility, and a strong commitment to meeting an animal's daily needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions to ensure the pet stays on its normal routine. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks and exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I clean up after pets, keep their living areas clean, and monitor their behavior for any signs of illness or discomfort. If medications are required, I administer them according to the owner's directions. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while treating every pet with patience, kindness, and care.
