“Lori was great! She was very informative with her updates and sent great pictures during her visits. Having a new puppy, she put my mind at ease! I wiii definitely be asking Lori to care for our babies again!”
“They did a fantastic job! Sowmya/Sunil were very communicative and very comfortable with my anxious dog. They took some time to meet him first and got a great introduction. Very comfortable with dogs. They went the extra mile as well and followed all the little training things we do before feeding and walking, and sent lots of photos of my dog during their visits. Would recommend to anyone looking for drop in visits in the area!”
“Sarah was great! It is never easy leaving your pets behind but Sarah helped me feel at ease with it. My dog had a good time with her and even my elderly cat popped out to say hi. Sarah communicated well and truly cares about animals.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was around 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family by walking, feeding, and bathing their pets, and I absolutely love it! I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and always focused on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets with attention and love. I’m home most of the day, making it easy to provide consistent care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I have one small, friendly dog who loves having company. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play indoors and outside. Whether your pup prefers quiet time or playtime, I always create a calm, welcoming environment tailored to their needs.
“5 STARS all around for this duo. We feel so comfortable with Angie & her daughter Mali and they take such great care of our dog, Millie. They are so willing, and very available when needed on short notice. I can’t wait to use them for years to come!”
“Margaret was great with the pups and sent sweet photos of her visits. She was super patient with me as my dates changed a couple times. Will definitely rebook! :)”
“Courtney was awesome to work with. Our dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Courtney was willing to try various methods and on the second check in it worked. Her communication was great.”
About: I have had and taken care of mine and other's pets for over 20 years. I have experience with all different ages, breeds and personalities. I have a very flexible schedule so my schedule is pretty much open and I can change to whatever I needs it to change to. I take care of animals the way I parent my own child. I agree with a gentle approach and an understandable approach. I do not agree with hitting dogs or rubbing their faces in accidents. I'm also very patient.
“Taylor was great with our 2 dogs, one of which is a senior with dementia. She was a huge help and went above and beyond what was expected with drop-ins. I highly recommend her.”
“Lauren came in and watched our cats while we were away on a trip! Got great daily pictures of the cats and came home to them all seeming very happy! Will absolutely book Lauren again!”
“Kari was an absolute rockstar Petsitter. Our kitty has diabetes, so he needs his insulin shot daily within a specific time period. Kari was on time every day and sent photos throughout our whole 2 week trip. Not only did she take great care of our cat, but she made she to take the trash out and keep everything straightened so the house didn’t smell like we’d been gone for a while. We will absolutely request her for future trips!”
“Very friendly and a fantastic pet sitter! Lynn went above and behind to come out and meet our dog ahead of time and to send multiple videos and photos while we were away so we could see how he and our cat were doing! We only needed someone to let the dog out and make sure he was fed, but she stayed a bit and played with him so he wouldn’t be lonely. Thank you!”
“Sydney was amazing with my guys! I booked last minute and she was able to still make the request work! She fed, took them out and made sure they had water! She even got my German shepherd to eat a little which he never does when I’m not there! I would definitely recommend her if you need a drop in visit!”

Lynn was great to work with. She really seemed to enjoy taking care of my cats. Her daily updates and pictures were much appreciated. She even got the shyer Inky to socialize. She even accommodated a last-minute schedule change due to the weather. I would definitely hire her again.
Elena was fantastic with our kitties. She did all that was asked of her and when we returned home after a week away, our cats were very indifferent to our arrival home which shows us they were well taken care of and given lots of love in our absence. We will definitely be using Elena again to watch our fur babies when needed!
