Madison was awesome! She arrived on time as expected for both the meet and greet and the first overnight. She took very detailed information regarding Bebe's care and routine. She took excellent care of Bebe and sent me regular updates and pictures. I'm already getting on her schedule for my next trip out of town. I would recommend her to anyone needing a caring dog sitter.

Lauren did a phenomenal job with our fur babies. From the time she replied to our request she took the time to listen and understand our challenges. Then she came over and took the time to familiarize herself with both of our babies ensuring there wouldn’t be any issues. Great job and great person.

Crystal is the perfect pet sitter. She is so sweet with our 3 cats and 1 big 130lb dog. She is very communicative and took great care of the animals. She was flexible when our flight was delayed and was able to stay another night in case there were more flight issues. She stayed with the animals 90% of the time. I highly recommend her!! Thank you so very much Crystal!

We can’t say enough good things about Liz. She takes great care of our pets and sent a few photos every day. Very reliable and easy to communicate with through each trip. We have worked with her many times.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have such a love for them. I know that dogs are more than just pets-they are part of the family! My family has had basset hounds for my whole life, so I have seen and loved them at every stage of life. I’ve done my share of dog care for them, including walking, feeding, giving medicine, ear-care, and brushing fur (my dog’s personal favorite)! I have also taken care of friends’ dogs, ranging all sizes and ages, when they have been out of town as well! I’m currently a teacher on summer break so I have a pretty open schedule! I can be very flexible with what times I am needed and if you need me to be very specific at the times I take care of your pets I will absolutely do that-I know lots of doggos need or get used to certain times for care! If you let me know what areas for walking are at your home, I am happy to follow whatever route you normally go on or would like for them to-same if you have a neighborhood dog park! I’m very active so I’m happy to walk/run with them as far as they need! If you need assistance with my giving them food and/or medicine, just let me know where it is and how much to give and I am happy to do that!

Kayden was great! You can tell she has a way of getting pets to quickly get close with her. My pup Roman is battling isolation anxiety, and was very happy to have Kayden come by. Not only that, but she went above and beyond with updates and even keeping my house very tidy! She goes above and beyond. I am super grateful for her and will be rebooking :)

I would highly recommend Caitlin as a dog sitter! We were going out of the country and I’ll be honest we’re a little nervous about leaving the girls with someone we didn’t know with us being so far away and because it was going to be a 13hr time difference. As soon as we met Caitlin and saw both how sweet she was with our girls and how much they loved her we knew they’d be in good hands. She provided us with thorough updates, made sure to communicate often, and was very observant with our fur babies. I could tell that she took wonderful care of the girls and she also left our home immaculate. Thank you again!! ❤️

I will hire Diana every time I need to leave town. She followed my instructions to the letter. She came back to return my key and my 3 dogs were all happy to see her again. She noticed one of my dogs was needy and she also had to deal with a shelter/adopted German Shepherd that is afraid of everything. She was on time. Stayed through the nights I requested. I love that she loved my babies while I was gone for the weekend.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with extensive professional experience in both the pet boarding and veterinary industries, I understand the importance of providing pets with safe, reliable, and compassionate care. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, ensuring their physical well-being, comfort, and happiness. My background in veterinary operations has given me valuable knowledge of animal health, behavior, medication administration, and recognizing signs that a pet may need additional attention. In addition, my experience managing pet boarding facilities has allowed me to care for pets in a variety of settings while maintaining high standards of safety. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or extra companionship while you're away, I will treat them like one of my own. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to providing every pet with the exercise, affection, and individualized care they deserve, giving pet parents peace of mind while they're away. When your pet stays with me, you can expect a calm, loving, and attentive environment where they are truly cared for like family. I have extensive experience in both pet boarding and veterinary operations, so I’m comfortable handling pets of all personalities, sizes, and needs. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working another job, which means I have plenty of time to spend with your furry baby—whether that’s playing, going on walks, or simply giving them companionship and attention throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, long walks, and boarding either in your home or mine, depending on what works best for you and your pet. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they are in responsible, loving hands. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure, relaxed, and cared for. Pets are always supervised, and I provide a safe, clean environment for rest, play, and daily care. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being. I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding, medications, and special routines. When in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I’ve loved dogs from a young age and have experience being around dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to older, more relaxed dogs. I’m comfortable handling both high-energy dogs that need active walks and calmer dogs who prefer a slower pace. This has helped me understand different personalities and routines so I can provide care that fits each dog individually. My focus is always on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my schedule in the evenings after work and on weekends. I’m typically available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting during those times. I keep a balanced schedule so I can provide reliable, consistent care and give each pet my full attention. I focus on providing safe, calm, and consistent care in each pet’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, and any special routines, to ensure pets stay comfortable and secure. I make it a priority to respect each home and leave everything clean and as it was found, while making sure pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
