“Steph is so great with my dog! Firm but kind which my doodle needs and happy to keep up with training. She is responsible, communicative, friendly, easy to work with. My pup gets plenty of fun exercise and TLC while with Steph. Highest recommendation.”
“Cheryl was a fantastic sitter for us! She was super flexible and responsive and really enjoyable to interact with. She took great care of our dog Rosie and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and secure. Rosie *loves* her and now wants her back! I recommend her highly.”
“Ayden was great! I have 2 cats and a young German shepherd and they all seemed very happy with Ayden. She sent me plenty of pictures and I came home to my place very clean and exactly as I’d left it!”
“Crispin took exceptional care of our new dog! She shared photos and kept us updated throughout our time away. We really felt we could relax knowing our dog was in such good hands!”
“Chase does SUCH a phenomenal job! He was so attentive to all our notes about Pierre and went above and beyond! It was extra hot while he was sitting and he even brought an extra fan for the dog! He is so kind, responsible, and bright. We truly trust very very few with our dog but Chase is top of the trustworthy list!! A++ work, we highly recommend.”
“Aliyah was great with our dogs! She arrived on time and sent us lots of update and pictures. We were definitely reassured that our dogs were in good hands and had someone to keep them company.”
“Ann was sweet and patient with my kitty and very communicative, sending me updates and photos to ease my mind while I was out of town. It is clear that Ann truly cares about animals and is attentive to their nonverbal communication. I felt assured that my sweet baby was in good hands, and I returned home to a happy kitty.”
“James and his girlfriend Aurora were incredible to work with. They were very responsive, kind and took great care of our dog Rhonnie, including sending update pictures throughout the day. We trust them fully and will work with them for future needs as well.”
“We went away to visit our daughter. There are only 2 people we trust our dogs with when we are away. Dario is one of them. Thanks for caring for our fur babies as if they are your own! Archie and Lennon love Dario!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a young girl. I have experience and knowledge with a wide range of breeds, behaviors, and pet wellness. As someone who has raised and loved dogs throughout my life and is fortunate to have an Aunt who is a veterinarian, I believe I am uniquely qualified to care for other people's animals as well. I currently have a 30lb scruff named Lily who is a Griffon Verdeen mix and enjoys playing, napping, and going on long sniff walks. I always have her greet other dogs on a walk before letting them into the house so that both dogs can get their excitement energy out before the house sniffing begins. If you have any questions or special needs, please feel free to reach out and discuss them. I can currently work remotely, so my daily routine is adaptable to the needs of the day. I am available for walks throughout the day and check-ins. I have a fenced in backyard, friendly neighbors, a playful medium sized dog and a dog-friendly home. I also feel comfortable house sitting if that is a need as well.
“Mariah was an excellent pet sitter for our senior cat, Bobby. She was incredibly communicative and gave me frequent and helpful updates and photos (which I asked for and really appreciated while traveling). She helped troubleshoot some of our cat's issues (he is a senior cat so these happen), was observant/responsive, and I had full confidence that our cat was in good hands. Our cat warmed up to her right away (she gave him treats to coax him out from under the bed), which is not typical for most pet sitters or guests that come to our house. She was very helpful by checking our email and taking out our trash as well. I look forward to working with Mariah in the future!”
“Grace was wonderful with my kitty Rory. Rory can be very shy and she warmed up to Grace so quickly which made me feel so much better about leaving her in Grace’s hands. Grace is a wonderful communicator and sent me so many pictures and videos throughout her stay - it was wonderful! Highly recommend Grace to watch any of you pets :)”
About: I’ve had my own animals at home and have helped take care of mainly dogs and cats over the years. Animals are so precious to me and caring for them in the right way and getting them what they need is most important to me! I’m currently on summer break but will be starting college in the fall. I have a fully open schedule as of now and when I start school that will become particle. Mornings and evenings would more likely work best for me in the fall but I am very flexible and would love to work with families to figure out a schedule that works. I always keep a close watch on the animals I’m sitting and make them feel as comfortable as I can. Most pets can be anxious away from families so I try my best to company animals and keep them in safe areas that they can play, relax, and enjoy their time!
About: I’ve taken care of not just my own Animlas but others, for a couple years! Animals are genuine sweet creatures and I love to meet new animals! I currently work part time, so i have a good amount of time to take care of animals. I work early mornings but have breaks. I can have extended love and protection for your babies. Honestly whatever is needed I can most likely do! I hope to meet your sweet babies.
“Bre is awesome! Very professional, prompt and most importantly Rocky loves her! She always sends a fun picture of her and Rocky out and about on an adventure during her stay. Thank you Bre! Highly recommend!”
“Courtney was awesome! Our senior cat needs special care and was well taken care of. We can tell she really cares and is attentive of your pet's needs. She regularly sends update texts and pics. Would be glad to book her again =)”

“Jenna has watched our two dogs on multiple occasions. We have a 1 year old puppy and an 11 year old senior dog. Watching them is not very easy. Jenna is great with both of them. It’s always stressful leaving our dogs when we are out of town. With Jenna, we can leave and not be stressed out. I would highly recommend Jenna”
