Our dogs LOVE their aunties!! We get lots of photo updates, usually of the dogs on laps or wrapped around necks. This was the first overnight and we were never worried about our babies. The dogs slept the next day, unclear if they were worn out or just missed their aunties Highly recommend this duo for any pet sitting needs.

I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!

Grant and Yunrui took great care of our dog, Ellie, for a full week at our house. We appreciated that they did a meet and greet ahead of time so we could make sure it was a good fit. They sent pictures and an update every night and Ellie seemed very happy when we got back. Thank you!

William was fantastic! He was super responsive, communicative, and immediately put us at ease during our first experience using an overnight sitter. Our dogs can be pretty standoffish with new people, but they took to him right away — which says a lot. Even our cat loved him! It was clear our pets were comfortable, well cared for, and happy while we were away. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to William again in the future

Kyle did an amazing job taking care of my two big dogs after a last minute request for a weekend stay. My dogs warmed up to him immediately and he was very attentive to their needs. Kyle has also done additional drop in visits, providing updates and photos. I have already booked him for future housesitting and we will continue to book him as our trusted sitter.

McKenna did an excellent job with our high-energy Aussie, who can be a bit anxious sometimes. She was super communicative, punctual, and shared lots of photos and updates. This was the first time we left him overnight with someone other than family, and it was great to know he was in good hands with McKenna. She also left our house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was before. Excited to work with her again soon!

We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We’re very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.

Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Our house was spotless when we came home and we have a very contented pug❤️❤️ Tara is a treasure! We look forward to have her take care of Buddy again.

About: I love being around dogs and have experience caring for pets for friends and family. I’m responsible, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping routines consistent. I’m also attentive to each dog’s needs and will treat your pet like my own. I’m currently a college student, and since it’s summer break my schedule is very open and flexible. I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, and giving your dog lots of attention. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, follow their routines closely, and give them lots of attention and care. I’m patient, responsible, and will treat your dog like my own, making sure they feel secure, happy, and well taken care of at all times.

Kerry took wonderful care of my two boys while I was out of town. One of my cats is diabetic, and I especially appreciated how consistently she checked his blood glucose and kept me updated. She sent me daily photos and notes about how they were doing, keeping me informed and reassured throughout my trip. It made me so happy to know my boys were safe, cared for, and in such capable hands while I was away.

This was my first time leaving my babies with someone who wasn’t a family member or friend so I was extremely nervous for someone new to watch them. Za’Nai was the best! She sent me daily pictures and updates, she communicated efficiently and she took the dogs on adventures. When she had concerns or questions, she reached out which I greatly appreciated. I came home to happy dogs and a very clean home which was so nice to see after traveling all day. I will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!

I would give Deborah 10 stars if I could! From our initial meet & greet, I knew she would treat both our senior pup and our home with love and care. I loved the daily updates and pictures that were sent, along with any additional communication about our pup or home that needed clarification. Our home was left spotless and just the way it was when we left. Our pup was cared for with love. I couldn't be happier with Deborah's stay here and I will look forward to having her over again for our future travels.
