“Teresa took very good care of our 2 senior dogs and cat! She arrived at our home before we left to make the transition as smooth as can be. Our girls have a bit of separation anxiety so that was super helpful to have her here early. She kept in touch with us throughout our trip and was very responsive while we were away. Highly recommend using Teresa for your pet sitting needs!”

“Kristen was so kind and took great care of my cats Jax and Boba. She did overnight stays with them that gave me such peace of mind and left my place just as I had left it - a fantastic house guest 🙂 I've already booked her again for a longer trip I have later in the year and has just been great about providing updates and prompt responses!”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! And I now have had lots of experience watching other people’s dogs as well! I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I have availability throughout the whole week currently. But that is subject to change. I like to spend my off days outside going for walks and enjoying the weather when it’s nice. I like to listen to the clients instructions because every household and every dog is different and has different needs so making sure I follow their rules is the most important thing.
“Penny kept our 15-week-old lab puppy and cat at our house for four days while we were out of town. Our pup is definitely in the puppy phase and is a real challenge to keep out of trouble. Penny did a great job in maintaining the consistency of his schedule and continued his training while we were away. I'm sure this was over the top from the normal sitting arrangements. She keeps a daily diary of what she and our pets did so she does an outstanding job of communicating. This was our first experience with having someone stay in our home and it worked out great. Penny is reliable, great with our animals and a great house guest. We will definitely rebook when the need arises and would highly recommend her to watch your pets.”

“MaShon did a great job watching our dogs for a few days while we were out of town. She took great care of them, sent us photos and was quick to respond anytime we checked in. She also took great care of the house and we will always check her availability first when we need someone in the future.”

“Stephanie done a terrific job with all 4 of my babies. They all have a few quirks but she just jumped in and had all 4 attached to her hip. So happy I was able to find such a caring person to watch them while I was away. Highly recommend !”


“Rachel was awesome. Our dog was very difficult with her. He wouldn’t let her near him the first day, but she stuck it out and he had hertaking him on walks and she was giving him belly rubs by the time she left.”

About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I own a small business so I am able to make my own schedule if it’s at least a month out. If I do have events then I’ll be gone 4-6 hours max. Other than that I will try to be with your animals as much as possible. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with constant attention to their comfort and well-being. I create a safe, loving space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
“Kaylee was absolutely amazing, she gave us daily updates as well as pictures of our dog buddy. Our dog took to her immediately on the meet and greet, which made us feel at ease to use her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter, don’t look any further and select her now. Once again Kaylee thank you for watching buddy, we can’t wait to use you again.”

“She took such good care of my two dogs! She stayed over at my house for long hours and made sure they had plenty of play, love, and outside time. The pictures she sent me while away showed that they were sooo happy! I will definitely reach out again!”


About: I’ve been dogsitting since I graduated college about a decade ago. I love spending time with dogs and getting to spoil and love on them! I’m currently working part time and have good open availability to meet your needs for a home stay or dog walk. I do best later in the week and over weekends. I don’t have the ability to host in my home, and therefore prefer home stays or dog walks. I love to spend time playing and walking dogs, I feel like I get to see their personalities.
“Angela was so wonderful with both my dogs while I was out of town. She was great with communication and sent daily updates and pictures. She was also very respectful and I can wait to book with her again!”

“Stephanie was fantastic to work with! She is totally responsible and reliable. She sent pictures every day and our dog loved her. She also took great care of our house! I would highly recommend her!”
