“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”


“Paige was a fantastic sit in Rover for my cat Blinker! She left detailed notes with many photos that I looked forward to every morning while I was on vacation :) She also was very helpful to let in my maintenance tech and be kind to him! I will rebook next time!”


“Peter cared for our 3 large dogs with no hesitation! He was a great communicator and very flexible with our schedule. We would definitely trust him to come back any time!”


“Heather took great care of our kitties while we were gone for the weekend. Very communicative, friendly and took on our booking somewhat last minute. We really appreciate your great care. We will request to book with her again. Thank you!!”


“This is my second time booking Anne for a pet sitting. She is so thorough and kind. She really cares about my cats and treats them so well. Her drop ins are very detailed. Definitely will be booking her next time!”


“Anna helped me out super last-minute and was willing and able to navigate several random hiccups throughout my vacation. 100000/10 from both me and my fur babies!! 💛”


“Amelia was fabulous with my kitten! Through her detailed visit summaries I was able to keep tabs on my sweet girl and the pictures made my time away so much better.”


“Emmerson did a great job with my big Belgian Malinois puppy who can be a lot to handle! He was very tidy and consistently sent updates and was always available to talk to.”


About: A former teacher and current husky owner providing loving, reliable care. Detail-oriented, active, and passionate about treating your pet like family—with structure, exercise, and affection. Pet care fits around my full-time job—I’m available after work on weekdays and fully open on weekends to give your pet the care they deserve. I take my husky on daily walks and make sure she gets plenty of outdoor time—whether we’re playing games, exploring, or just chillin in the fresh air. I’d love to provide the same service for you too.

“Teresa is wonderful. In fact, she is magical. Our cat Gabby usually will not come out for anyone other than for my husband and myself. But with Teresa, she came up to her almost immediately. We could not believe all the beautiful pictures and videos Teresa texted us of Gabby, especially of Gabby "talking'' and purring. It is obvious that Gabby saw Teresa as a kindred spirit. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter for Gabby, but it certainly won't be the last. Teresa communicated with us during and after every visit. She left our house immaculate. She even printed for us adorable photos of Gabby that she took during her visits.. We feel totally comfortable having Teresa take care of our cat, and will hire her again in a heartbeat.”


“Lizzy was an excellent sitter, she was able to come support last minute and was patient with some issues getting in the building which I really appreciated! She was great with Dexter and completed everything that was required during a couple quick visits. Would recommend 10/10 and I hope to work with her again. Thank you Lizzy!”


“Chloe was a superb dog sitter! We are so grateful she could stop in to care for our senior dog when we needed extra support. Would totally have Chloe back again.”


“The did great for Anders, especially Nancy & her insulin inection, which means the babies must have enjoyed having him around. He was super friendly with me & the 3 kitties. I really appreciate that he took notes on our routine & where supplies were.”


About: I'm a theatre teacher and dog lover and with school out for the summer, I have some extra time and energy to spend it keeping your furry family member happy, safe, and loved while you're away! As an educator, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to pet care. Whether it’s energetic walks, relaxing cuddle time, or sticking to special routines, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. You can count on me for: 🎭 Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment 🐾 Drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight care 🦴 Feeding, meds, and updates with adorable photos 🏠 Respectful, tidy care of your home during visits I co-parent a sweet rescue Pitanese named Atlas, but he will not be present in my home when your dog(s) come to stay. I will only care for one dog family in my home at a time (up to 2 dogs.) As a devoted dog parent, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family member(s), and I’d be honored to provide a reliable, loving presence while you’re away. Let’s connect—I can’t wait to meet your furry family! I will be off from my teaching job throughout much of the summer, so will have a very flexible schedule to spend with your pet(s)! I live in the bottom unit of a duplex home and have full access to a fully fenced in yard. My upstairs neighbor has a dog, but doesn't use the yard with his dog and exits through a separate entrance. I'm a gardener, so your dog will always be supervised while playing in the yard. We live near trails and a park, so there is plenty of opportunity for enrichment on walks as well. I allow my dog on the sofa, but if this is not a habit you want your dog to pick up, I will follow those instructions. I have past experience giving oral medication, caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs in recovery from an injury.

“Shannon has been so good to our doggies, 6 years old and 4 months old. She kept us updated with how they did and included pictures with each visit. She was responsible about resetting the security system each time she left. She’s thoughtful and pays attention to detail. We’d definitely recommend her!”
