“Brigit was a wonderful sitter for our anxious and occasionally challenging dog. She kept us updated on how things were going and when we returned, our dog was feeling happy and confident. We look forward to working with Brigit again in the near future.”


“Highly, highly recommend! Denise is a caring animal lover with heaps of experience from all her work at the animal humane. My rescue felt comfortable with her very quickly and was well cared for during the week+ that I was away. On top of that, my house was in great condition when I got back. Thanks, Denise, for the daily photos, clear communication, and for being so great at what you do!”

“Took great care of our pups for a long weekend. Took everything we said and went above and beyond giving them much love. Checked in regularly with us and sent photos even. Highly recommend using Alejandra for any of your pet needs!”

“Tatiana was great with our animals and house. She was comfortable with our shy dog and gave her the encouragement and space to feel safe with her, and provided us many updates while we were gone.”

“Colby was an excellent pet sitter! Enjoyable to meet, thoughtful, attentive, responsible. Very sweet with my animals. Sent regular photos and updates and was available for an extra night when I had a flight issue. I highly recommend Colby!”

“This is our second time using Alexus and she did not disappoint, yet again! She’s so diligent and attentive to our pups every need and more. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs don’t even miss us while we are away! She stays on schedule so they don’t feel a change in routine. We are so grateful for her! She is the best and I highly recommend her for loving your fur babies while away. Thank you million’s Alexus!”

“Blaise was able to care for our Aussie on late notice, which was much appreciated! Blaise stayed in our house and took great care of the dog and our place. I would hire her again!”

“Gave my two cats lots of attention and great care. Regina sent lots of updates and pictures. I was not worried one bit about if my cats were being properly cared for while I was away.”

“Madison was wonderful! Really sweet and made us feel at ease by keeping us posted with photos of our pups. We felt our home was well taken care of while we were away and can’t recommend her enough!”

“Amber was so professional, responsive and very sweet! She stayed at my house and when I got back from my trip it was exactly as I left it. She sent me photos and videos of my Stout and kept me updated on how he was. I would definitely recommend her and will be rebooking!”

“As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.”

“Juan did a great job with our boy. We got updates and pictures and he was very responsive to any messages we sent while we were away. Took great care of the house as well!”

“Very communicative and easy to get ahold of. They were able to extend out stay last minute due to a funeral, which we (and the dogs!) really appreciated. House looks great on return and dogs are well cared for. Our go-to family for dog sitting.”

“Leah was more than a dream come true for me. My dogs gravitated towards her and she was very thoughtful and thorough with her care. I couldn’t ask for more from her. Leah sent many photos and videos and made sure to help even my anxieties. So fortunate to have found Leah!”

“Ethanee did a great job caring for my dog and cat while I was away. I booked her twice and my animals were happy and well cared for when I returned home to them. I will definitely book her again!”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE Erica! She was greatly attentive to the needs of my dogs and an incredible house sitter. Home was clean and pups were happy! Definitely recommend and will request again!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was five years old, and I truly believe great pet care comes from patience, consistency, and genuine love. I enjoy dogs of all personalities; from high-energy pups and determined, stubborn dogs to sweet snuggle bugs. I take the time to learn each dog’s needs and preferences, because no two dogs are the same. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications, and managing a variety of diets. I always aim to provide calm, reliable care that helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m a college student with open weekend availability and flexible weekday availability throughout the day. I’m happy to schedule visits around my class times and can reliably check in on your pets during gaps in my schedule. I currently care for two cats, two dogs (a chocolate lab and a dachshund), and a rabbit, so I’m very familiar with managing different personalities, routines, and needs. While I don’t provide in-home boarding, I focus on caring for pets in their own environment, where they’re most comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in being reliable, respectful, and attentive, so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for while you’re away.

Jennifer is great! She is reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. Most importantly, she took great care of my two little dogs; she sent daily photos and updates, which was very reassuring. I didn't worry about a thing while on my trip. I will hire her again and I highly recommend her!
