Michelle took great care of our dogs! Very responsive, handled minor issues with aplomb, gave us frequent updates. We (and more importantly our pups) could not ask for anything more! A+++++

About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.

Casey did the most fabulous and wonderful job dog-walking and house-sitting with my 'pack' of three mongrels!! Thank you, Casey! She was communicative, friendly, and kept the house immaculate while I was away. My three dogs are a lot to handle, truly, and required many walks per day, which she handled like a pro. Plus, Casey had great ideas for my dogs' overall wellbeing after spending so much time with them. She's a natural dog 'mom' for sure! My babies very calm and happy when I returned home. Casey made my work trip abroad 1000x easier. I will definitely be booking her services the next time I need help!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with playful puppies, independent cats, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my own cat every day, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Having my own pet has made me attentive to routines, behavior changes, and the small details that help animals feel safe and cared for. I also love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or giving them the attention and exercise they need. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get the playtime, walks, or quiet companionship they need. I believe pets feel most secure in their own home because it’s their safe space, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. Being able to care for them in that environment helps build trust and creates a stronger, more positive relationship, making the experience less stressful for both the pet and the owner.

Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!

About: Growing up, I helped care for my family's dog and regularly pet sat for neighbors' cats and dogs. I now have a cat of my own, so I truly understand the love and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind for a work trip or vacation. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and affection they need to keep their owners at ease. I recently graduated from graduate school and am enjoying a flexible schedule while waiting for my new role to begin this fall. In the meantime, I'm taking on a variety of work, which means I have plenty of availability to accommodate your pet care needs whether that's a regular daily walk, a last-minute drop-in, or an extended stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they stay in a secure, calm, and loving environment. I'm attentive, responsible, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands.

Day did an awesome job. My dog had surgery the day before she started (not planned when I originally booked) and Day took everything in stride. She had to give medicines at least twice a day. My pets were in good hands and I can't thank Day enough.

Harmony was an excellent dog sitter!! She took such great care of my pup during our wedding weekend. She was very kind and professional. Harmony was so understanding and helpful during a chaotic wedding weekend and was able to keep my dog on his schedule despite all this. I really appreciated her flexibility with wedding logistics and Luke had so much fun with her. Highly highly recommend her to anymore!!

This was my second time leaving my girls with a sitter. Jacee was wonderful, and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met her, along with my dogs. She came to meet us at our home prior, and the one dog who takes a minute to get close, quickly welcomed her. Communicated frequently, sending pictures every morning and evening, which allowed me to see how happy they were with her, and I was able to not worry about them and focus on visiting and helping my grandfather while he is recovering in another state. I am looking forward to having her come back.

Lorraine was responsive to our needs and it was so nice for our dogs to stay in our home. She sent pics and reports on how the dogs were doing. Was pleased to find someone who is comfortable giving my dogs injections and medication. Lorraine has a friendly personality and made us feel comfortable leaving our babies with her for our first try with an in-home sitter.
