Victoria was amazing. All the boys seemed to have a great time with her while we were gone. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable leaving. She also left a few extra touches around the house that showed just how well she cared for our home as well.

Mackenzie and Anthony were great! We got lots of photos and videos of the pups having a blast and we returned home to three very tired and happy pups! Thanks, again!

Allison watched our Bowie while we were out of town for an extended time for our wedding! She was such a good sitter and could tell from initial meet and greet that she has tons of experience! She kept us updated the whole time and reached out when our boy was acting a little off and we were able to solve the problem from afar! She also went above and beyond to clean the house for our return which was so nice to come home to! I am an anxious dog mom and I have already booked with Allison for another date after our great experience!

Angie was amazing. She came over and met my dogs previously so they would know her prior to her watching them. She was professional and great throughout the entire process. She was prompt and I knew my fur babies were in great hands. She sent pictures and I would definitely book with her again.

This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟

Oh my gosh where do I start? Hallen was the most professional, caring, communication rover I’ve ever had. She left the house spotless, and even helped me troubleshoot internet issues happening at the house while I wasn’t there. She sent so many cute photos which were so nice and really kept me smiling while I was away. I will not be using anyone else except her in the future if I can help it. Hallen, keep being amazing…Rover of the year award should be a thing and you have my vote!

Paul was a fantastic pet sitter for our family this past week while we were out of town. He gave our dog, cat, and fish more love and attention than they typically get with our busy schedules. Our dog has struggled with sleeping when being boarded and having her normal environment kept her very relaxed and happy. Paul sent photos everyday with updates to let us know their status. A small bonus was Paul kept an eye on the house and grabbed our mail and packages and kept them put of the weather. Paul was reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely be using him in the future!

About: Hi, I’m Ireland! Growing up with dogs, I have years of firsthand experience in caring for them, from feeding and grooming to basic training, and being CPR & FIRST AID Certified making me the perfect fit for any medical emergency that might occur. My passion for animals extends beyond my own pets—I am dedicated to ensuring every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-attended to. I prioritize meeting each pet’s needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I understand that every pet has its own personality and requirements, and I take the time to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and treated with kindness. I’m majoring in Animal Ecology and this summer I have online classes so I will be more available than I am in fall, winter, and spring. On weekends, I travel home to care for my family’s animals, further reinforcing my commitment to animal welfare. I love to make sure that your pet feels at home even when away from home, I can mimic your daily schedule as best as possible and provide as many or as little updates as you wish! Whether it's every other day or every hour, I'll make it happen. There's no smoking or any sort of paraphernalia allowed in my home, as my family has a history of health issues.
