“Victoria, is a breath of fresh air. So kind and attentive to my girl. We were only gone for 2 days and I received several updates daily on Bella. She left the house looking great. Thanks Vicki, will be in touch with you if we need a house sitter again.”

“We really appreciate everything that Allison does for our Louie! She’s very punctual and arrives when she says she will and she does a wonderful job of staying in contact with us and filing us in on how things are going. We really appreciate the photos she sends us as well. She brings her own bedding and food and always leaves our home in great shape. We are always confident that our doggie will receive kind and loving care. We highly recommend Allison! 5 Stars!!”

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs since I could walk, including several Boston terriers, a sweet black lab, and a very lazy Bassett hound. I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. I now live with my two cats, Olive and Saltine. They are my literal children and I love them to death. I’m working full-time, but I’m available weekday mornings and evenings as well as full-time on weekends. Let me know what you need and I can try to make it happen! I strive to treat your pets home as if they’re my own. Every pet has their own unique needs. I’m attentive to detail and will follow your instructions to the letter.
“Katlin was able to help me out in a pinch. She was great with the dogs and communication. I was able to enjoy the quick trip knowing she was there for them. Will definitely use again!”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our 13 yo female dog in our home while we were away. Kaitlyn took care of all of her needs, including medication and left the house without a trace she was there. Would definitely rebook with her.”
“Charisse provided wonderful care for our English Springer Spaniel, Francis. She also went above and beyond by watching our home, mail and plants while we were away. We were able to have a wonderful vacation knowing our pet was being so very well cared for.”
“Sophia took excellent care of Tiffany while I was out of town for a few days. I keep rebooking her because when I come home, Tiffany is happy and stress free. Sophia follows the instructions I leave for Tiffany’s medicine and routine perfectly and I know I can trust her with Tiffany and my home.”
“Alexis & Tay were great! We hate leaving our fur babies, and they were very communicative and sent lots of photos, which was very much appreciated and helped us feel a little better about leaving them. We will definitely book them in the future! ☺️”
“We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.”

Nathaniel R.
“I originally bonded with Nathaniel over our shared love of pets. We both have black cats and it became clear very quickly that he took extremely good care of his Olivia. Everyday, he feed her a combination of healthy raw meat recommended by his vet. Since I've known him, not only has he taken great care of my cats when I needed him to, he and his wife have also been known to volunteer at their local pet shelters. I would definitely recommend Nathaniel to anyone who needed someone responsible, detail-oriented, and caring to take care of their pets.”
