“Meghan was such an amazing sitter for our pup! She was super responsive and communicative throughout her whole stay. I had no worries while we were out of town that our sweet boy was well cared for. She’s the best so if you can have her take care of your pet, do it!”


“Kyle took great care of my pup over the weekend. He made sure my dog’s normal routine was followed and spent lots of time giving him attention. Would recommend and will be booking again in the future.”

“Cindy was wonderful. She took excellent care of our senior cats while we were away for the holidays. Kind, thorough, and very communicative, we knew she was taking great care of them so we could relax on our travels. Very grateful for that! Recommend Cindy highly!”


About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.

“Mariana was great with our dog and two cats! Our animals loved her and she kept our house very tidy after staying there. We would definitely rebook with her again when we go out of town.”


“We had an amazing experience with Allyson! From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about our two dogs' well-being. Both pups were so well taken care of, and we loved receiving updates and pictures while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Allyson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”


“We feel so lucky to have found Paula. She was the perfect sitter for our two cats and two dogs. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and she gave our pets so much love and attention while we were away. We got regular updates, which gave us such peace of mind, and it was wonderful to see how happy our pets were with her. Paula is also incredibly trustworthy and reliable. She handled an unexpected AC issue while we were gone, which was a huge relief and weight off our shoulders. We returned to happy pets and an impeccably clean home. It's rare to find someone who allows you to completely switch off and not worry about a thing, but Paula is that person. We highly recommend her and will definitely be repeat customers.”


“Kim exceeded expectations. I feel like everything fell apart dog wise leading up to this vacation. My lab ended up one a bunch of medications and had multiple hotspots on her body and was in an e collar... It was a mess... My pitbull figured out how to open sliding doors... A mess. Kim never once made me feel like any of it was a big deal, I knew she could handle it and she left our house spotless for us to come home to. She sent daily updates when we had cell service with pictures which really eased my mind. Would recommend to anyone and she will be my first choice as long as she's willing to sit for us! Thanks Kim!”


“Sarah did an amazing job. I am extremely overprotective and type A about my pets and their schedule and she was amazing. She gave my pets a ton of affection, she administered their medications, she maintained our tidy home and we came home to happy pets and a clean living space, and she sent daily updates with pictures and videos like she said she would. She arrived on time and left at the planned time. We would absolutely hire Sarah again. Our dog is actually searching for her!”



“Emily is terrific. She did such a great job watching our pup. Our dog experiences pretty bad separation anxiety and typically doesn’t eat all his meals when we are away - but with Emily he did! She was absolutely wonderful and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! She sent us pictures daily, kept the house tidy and was simply great to have. Thanks again Emily for the great experience!”


“Averi took excellent care of our dog Rocco and our home while we were away for a long weekend! She was very accommodating and Rocco was so relaxed when we got home! 10/10!”



“Noel is amazing. She’s kind, attentive and connected easily with my dogs. She sent pictures and texts during the weekend and addressed their needs exceptionally well. Teddy & Pip were happy and relaxed when we got home.”


“Kaleigh watched our dog overnight this weekend and was very communicative throughout the time we were away. She sent multiple pictures and let us know how our dog was doing. We appreciate her taking such good care of our pup for us!”


“Nia did a great job house sitting for us during a weekend trip! She was easy to communicate with, asked all the right questions, and was very patient with our pup taking a moment to warm up. We came back to a happy dog and clean home. Definitely recommend!”
