“Christina took wonderful care of our two older, special needs dogs, including administering multiple medications every 12 hours, giving them exercise, and helping ease their anxiety. She took even better care of our home than we expected and left it even cleaner than when we left. We would gladly have her house sit again if her schedule allowed and definitely recommend her to others.”
“McKeznie was great with Scarlett! She was very attentive during our meet & greet and seemed to care about keeping our pup comfortable. Scarlett seemed to have a great time!”

“Although it was only one night, we know Kimberly took great care of our boys and showed them love like they were her own! She sent pics, asked questions, and let them cuddle with her haha. Will be booking with her from now on!”
“Brooke was absolutely the best! She made sure that my 3 cats and dog was well taken care of for an entire weekend. Brooke sent pictures the entire week, exercised my pets and made sure they were well fed. This was me and my partners first time using a pet sitting service and we could not imagine using anyone else. I definitely would recommend Brooke to anyone , she is the absolute best.”
About: I have experience with pet sitting for about four years now. This includes cat sitting, dog sitting/walking, and even working at a doggy daycare for a year and a half! I currently work very early morning and am usually done around 12:30 pm. This means I am free the rest of the day for visits, walks, and such! Like stated earlier, I have many years of experience of pet sitting from different clients and work places. I have gained knowledge from each place that I plan to use for the safety and well being of any future clients! pets
“Lois did a fabulous job taking care of Hugh, our large dog. She stayed in our home while we were on vacation and sent us multiple updates and pics of our pup, plus she left our home spotless! We will definitely be using her again for our future pet-sitting needs.”
“Eva is the sweetest and absolute best! Our dog is our child and we are extremely careful about who watches him and I would use her again hands down. I feel much more at ease knowing we have someone we can trust to watch him. We had a last minute trip and responded within 15 minutes and came the next day. You will not be disappointed she’s the best and very trustworthy! Thank you Eva ❤️ Oliver can’t wait for your next visit!!”
“The current week’s sitter was sick and Jasmine came to the rescue. We found her very last minute and are grateful at how amazing she is taking care of our dogs. We look forward to booking her again.”

Most importantly, your pet’s welfare, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m here to give them not just supervision, but genuine care and attention, so you can feel confident and worry-free while you’re away.
“Lamaris always does a wonderful job with my pups, and always leaves the home clean and my dogs happy. He is great at responding to messages and following instructions. Would highly recommend!”
“I had an injured pup and she took great care of her and my other pup! I received lots of updates with photos/videos too! All is well. She even stayed later than planned. My pups loved her and all went well.”
“We felt so comfortable having "Shey" take care of our little Chloe. She sent pictures and videos every day. She gave Chloe so much love and attention. We were so pleased. When we returned from our trip, our house was spotless. I would absolutely have her take care of our home and Chloe again!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs all my life and even have 2 of my own. When my oldest was only 3 weeks old I took her in because her mom rejected her. This included bottle feeding every few hours and help going potty. I can easily crate train small pups and even have experience with bigger dogs. I am currently in school and work a few hours a week; however, I am home for the majority of the day so I will be able to provide care as often or as little as needed. My apartment complex has a fenced dog park that I take my dogs daily to. My 2 dogs are very people and dog friendly so your pet will be kept company.
