Pet care experience

For Pet’s Sake!

Overnight / day care: - 2 to 3 walks a day, around 30 minutes - at home care for 8 hours during the work week - spacious house with fenced in yard I grew up with three dogs, caring for them wrapped into my day to day routine growing up. Friends, family, and even coworkers have asked me to pet sit, allowing me to enjoy the perks of pet ownership whilst taking a hiatus on personal ownership currently. I also currently volunteer at the local shelter, which has provided me ample experience on how to manage different types of dogs with varying temperaments.

Rae was amazing with my two pups! She took such great care of them and sent photos and videos and updates during their stay. Thank you for catering to each other their individual needs and for taking Ralphie with you hiking! I would 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for top tier care for your dogs.

Rae was amazing. My dogs can be shy, but they were happy and comfortable during their stay. Rae was a great communicator; she had quick responses and sent regular photo updates of the dogs. I would definitely rebook and recommend.

Can’t thank Rae and her husband enough for sharing their home with our dog, Turtle, this past weekend! I very much appreciated the updates and photos, and Rae was great about making sure he had everything needed. Turtle had a blast, and came home happy and healthy!

House Sitting • Mar 09, 2026

Rae was wonderful! She house sat my 2 high-energy dogs and my cat. We came home to a clean house, and most importantly, happy and safe pets. Rae is also very communicative and prompt, and she sends lots of pictures, which is great for peace of mind when leaving your pets with someone new. We would definitely book with Rae again!!
