“Kirsten did a great job sitting for my puppy! He recently had a procedure done so he is recovering, and she followed all instructions and kept me updated. As a first time, puppy owner I’m nervous about what to do w him, but I’m definitely grateful for sitters like Kirsten that can watch him while I go to work especially these first few days.”

“Berenice was an absolute lifesaver! I received a last-minute graduation invitation and needed someone trustworthy to care for Mini; Berenice came through! She responded quickly to all my messages and made the entire booking, drop-off and pick-up process so easy and stress-free. She welcomed Mini into her home with kindness and sent us peace-of-mind photo updates, which we really appreciated.

About: I’ve always had pets since I was a kid. My current pup is 15 and she’s been with me since her litter was rescued 15 years ago. I’ve trained many pets, and helped people out with their training needs as well as cared for and pet sat for many friends/family members whenever they needed. I take pride in giving any pet their best life and loving on them! Even if it’s just for a day! Any chance I get to hang out with fur babies, I take it! I work 3 nights a week so I have a pretty flexible schedule. It rotates and it gives me plenty of time to be at home and available for pet care My pup is my best friend. I also have 2 cats which I am actually allergic to, so I am very particular on keeping a clean home so that everyone can live in harmony. And that will carry over to my care for you furry friends. My focus is to take the best care of them while also maintaining a neat and tidy space for them and you!
“Pamela is a very sweet lady:) she took our Nova for a day and when we got there she slowly introduced her to the other dogs before letting her run. She is very cautious and handles the dogs very well. I would definitely recommend her services to others.”

I think it’s very important that all dogs are loved and cared for so i recommend that you would choose me to be able to take care of your wonderful pets! it would be an honor to do so. i can’t wait to meet your fur babies, and i hope you have an amazing and blessed day I’m currently not working and solely focusing on online school so I have an open schedule to be able to spend time with your fur babies. My schedule just includes me doing online school at home and going to church on wednesdays and sundays.

About: Calm, patient, and attentive to feline behavior. I respect their space, earn their trust, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free from anything. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I stay active, enjoy spending time with animals, and always make time to give them full attention and love. In my home or a client’s, I create a safe, calm, and clean environment. I follow routines closely, give constant attention, playtime, and always ensure pets feel loved, secure, and stress-free.
About: Dogs and cats have always been a huge part of my life growing up. I love all dogs from petite puppers to gentile giants. I am a HUGE dog person but I also have a large spot in my heart for all cats. I have flexible schedule job and I have time to provide proper pet care. I understand commitment to a furry family member that depends on for his or her health and well-being. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. An act as simple as refilling their food bowl at the same time every day is enough to make them feel comfortable in their living space.

Amazing job taking care of Milka, always sending pictures and videos! We loved that. She also was so flexible on the drop off and pick up times as well so that made it really easy for us. We definitely recommend her as pet sitter.
Karol was so wonderful to my dog. He is very high energy and had a dog friend to play with. She did give me updates and let me know that dodger was having a fun time. I would recommend using her again
Carolina was great! Had a flexible schedule and was very communicative, my Gino was so excited when dropping him off for his second day of day care. Thank you Carolina!
Claire was incredibly kind and thoughtful with her communication as well as her care of our pups! Our dogs loved their time with her and came home tired and happy. Claire also was very flexible with her schedule with us, and this was incredibly helpful as we were dealing with a big event on the same day as her dogsit! Claire took the time to do a video call with me prior to watching our dogs, and was super receptive to both my mother and myself as she was watching both of our fur babies- so this of course lead to paragraphs on paragraphs of info, but Claire had no issue with this and was reassuring and down to earth through the entire process. I would never take my dog to anyone but her after our experience !!
Daniel and Marina were absolutely amazing! They had a great communication, their puppies got along with Benji and played all day. Benji came back calm and ready for bed which is always a good sign of good humans. Without hesitation I would use them again. Highly recommend them.
Becky is amazing! She is responsible and keeps me updated with Ollie. She follows all the instructions I leave her and keeps me posted with anything that changes. Ollie loves her and is always excited to see her!
Vanessa was amazing. Great communication and very patient with my booking needs. She kept me updated through out the day with my pup with pictures which I absolutely appreciated. I will definitely be using her again in the future :)
Rebecca was a great dog sitter! I dropped off my dog with her for the day while I was out of town and she was super communicative and incredibly accommodating. My dog came home happy and tired after a great day with her!
Mimi was great with our pup! She was very good with introducing him to other dogs and responsive of their interactions. She gave us great feedback about his interaction with her cat. Even though we left him only for a few hours, she took him on a walk and sent us pictures from the walk and of him happy on her bed. She clearly made him comfortable in her home. We would leave our dog with Mimi again anytime.
Crystal was available last minute for daycare for my 7 month pup, and very accommodating with puppy proofing her apartment last minute. Handoff was easy - we met outside her apartment so the dogs could eet. She was thorough - asked about treat preferences, whether we were ok with him destroying toys, what commands he knows and what his cues are. My dog came home tired and happy. I’ll send him back anytime!
Izac was a great dog sitter. They were great checking in with us and sending photos. We booked last minute and they were very flexible. Our dog was happy to go back on the second day. We will definitely use Izac next time we are in SD.
Elizabeth and her family were great with Mochi - he came in and immediately crashed out so I think that's a fair testament that he had a wonderful time playing with the family and their dogs! Elizabeth was super easy to communicate with and took a last minute booking request, which helped us out considerably. Will definitely reach out again in future. Thank you Elizabeth and family for taking such good care of Mochi and for the photos and feedback today, it was nice to know he was having fun while we were at work.
Caitlin was great! She took very extra care of my Cleo, walks, eating on time & walks. She kept in constant communication with texts & pictures. Thank you for taking care of my baby!!
Melissa has watched Sonny numerous times and she is AMAZING!!!! She loves him as her own and he is so happy when he goes to her house. She is so sweet and very flexible with our schedule of care needs. Highly recommend Melissa for doggie care! 🐶💕
Maxeen is super sweet & I feel comfortable dropping off Canela to her when I need a sitter. I love the pictures she sends throughout the day!!
Left my service puppy for the first time with a stranger and Josh and his family were the perfect fit. I’d trust them again. Jackson had a great time💕
