Meghan was such a pleasure to work with. She gave our senior dog the time and attention he deserved and brought out his playful inner puppy. She was great at communicating and we will definitely rebook with her soon!

Rebecca is fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs, and they absolutely loved her. She graciously let her pups play with our two, and they had SO much fun! Her updates were great and included pictures of the fun times being had by all. Rebecca is a true professional and we look forward to her staying with the boys next time!

About: I’ve raised four German shepherds since they were nine weeks old and I will love and take care of your babies as I did mine! I’m currently working a full time job from Mon-Thurs from 7:30AM to 5:00PM. I have a routine of waking up before 4AM so I have plenty of time in the mornings, I am able to leave work between 11:30AM-1:00PM if I need to check on any pups at home or for potty breaks. I am off during the weekends, I don’t do much on my time off just read, clean and I try to exercise in my apartment. I live in an apartment and I will love to take walks and take your fur babies out when needed and for play time as well. I don’t have any pets at home. I will follow any instructions that you give me to sit your fur babies in my own home or yours.

This was our first time having to travel without him, so needless to say I was a bit nervous. Nevertheless, both Lily & Courtney were able to put my mind at ease & accommodate our needs. Osiris really enjoyed them, not to mention they were able to watch over our rabbit in addition. Absolutely adore them and their work and we plan to continue utilizing their services.

About: I've been dog sitting since covid; things have changed but not the love for animals. Since my start I've dog sat for a wide varity of dogs. Puppies, oldies, big, small. Some requiring a lot of attention to help distract them, some that just sit by the door waiting for their pawrents to come home. From medications to special diets, specific schedules and give attention if you have the extra time. I will treat your dog as my own! Something you can count on is they will be loved and well taken care of. Pet care is my top priority. Making sure they are fed on time and they get plenty of play time and walks while you are gone. I do currently work but my schedule is constantly changing so I have a lot of freedom to change it as needed. I unfortunately can't accept pets into my home as I don't currently live alone. But I'm more than willing to stay over whenever you need me to.

Kayce was an amazing stand in for loving on our pups and kitties. What better than yourself as a pet parent? An amazing lady like Kayce! She was perfect and so accommodating for in home stay to care for our 4 dogs (ages 3 months to 11 years old) and our 2 young cats. She was prompt, courteous and respectful while being so kind and loving to our pets and accommodating our schedule. I’d highly recommend her as well as very likely to use her again for our fur babies. 5 stars all around.

We needed a pet sitter last minute due to our other option not working out. I found Aubrey and she was absolutely amazing! Our pups had a great time with her. She was respectful of our house and requirements and I can’t say more than great things about her. She even brought them treats and a toy! Thank you again and look forward to booking with you in the future.

Jessica was excellent! She was so good to the pups I think they were sad when we got home!! 😍 She sent so many pictures and wrote messages to us on how the dogs were doing. The house looked nice and orderly, too, when we arrived which is always wonderful to come home to. I wish I could give her wayyyyy more stars than 5!!

This was my first time using River, so I was a bit nervous. However, once the dogs and I met Linda, I felt so much more at ease! They took to her immediately, sensing her “dog person” energy. She was very receptive to all of the needs/schedules/particularities of both of my dogs. She was communicative throughout her stay, providing photos and updates. It was really great to be able to travel knowing that my dogs were being well cared for. I would definitely book Linda again!

We feel like we won the lotto with Safiyyah! All of our dogs loved her, even the shy one. She was attentive and didn’t hesitate to text if she had questions or concerns. She did a great job of keeping us informed and sending pictures of the pups. 10/10 recommend!
