1. Darcia B.

“Darcia went above and beyond my expectations. My dog has separation anxiety so she stayed with him 24-7 he felt comfortable with her right away. Darcia sent pictures and updated me every day. She took my very energetic husky on long walks each day and was very precise about following my instructions. I couldn’t be happier to have found her!”


2. Angela & Adam C.

“Angela and Adam were great with our dog, Rosie! Sent lots of pictures and updates. You could tell by the pictures Rosie really liked them. Will definitely be using them again.”

About: I have been a pet lover since day one! I have had dogs as big as loving labs, as small as cocker spaniels, and rescues in between. Each one had their own personality, character and energy levels but were all loved the same. I do have experience with senior dogs as well who have needed a little extra help to accommodate their day to day needs as they lost their sight, hearing or became less mobile. Every pet deserves love and attention and I look forward to helping meet their needs! I am currently a dental hygiene student with a part time job one night a week. Since my school days are much shorter than the average work day, I have plenty of time to keep your pet company while you are away. I am comfortable walking dogs of any size. Currently I do not do sitting in my own home, but look forward to playing outside if there is a fenced in yard, walks in your neighborhood, and playing with your pups favorite toys.

“Samantha is great with my two dogs. Both of my dogs are a large breed and she has no problem handling them. I have an English mastiff and a Great Dane and they love her! She gives me updates and sends pictures to me all the time when she is with them. Samantha is very personable and a lover of animals. I work long hours and she is very accommodating to my schedule.I would recommend Samantha to anyone in need of care for their dogs!”


5. Emma T.
“I would trust Emma with my dogs 100%! She is kind, compassionate, responsible and she is an incredible dog lover! Do not hesitate with Emma!”




6. Colleen H.


“We were so nervous to leave our dog Bowie home while we went out of town for 6 days. He has separation anxiety and can be a bit needy! Colleen was a total life saver. She stayed at our house for 5 nights and completely eased all of our nerves. She took great care of Bowie and our 2 cats, sending tons of photos and updates to show us how well they were all doing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! I could tell right from the moment she came to meet the animals that she was going to be great. Colleen is officially our number one choice when we go out of town from point-forward.”


7. lisa p.
“Lisa is great around my cats. She is kind, gentle and loving of all animals. She has gone above and beyond with helping me take care of my fur babies”


8. Kylie B.
About: Growing up, I’ve helped my mom take care of so many different types of dogs. Between small dogs like yorkies, chihuahuas, and big dogs like pitbulls, and Goldie’s. I have my own dog right now, he’s going to be 3 soon. He is a pitbull, boarder collie mixed and he’s the sweetest, most friendliest boy ever. Just very high energy. I am familiar with a lot of cool trails, and fields to take your dog, if you would like me to take your dog out. I am decent with grooming, I would love to try and get the experience more seeing as I’m trying to become a vet in the future. I can bathe them, clean their ears, clip their nails, and brush their coat. I have a lot of time during the week, and I am a huge animal lover. I promise your dog would be in safe hands with me, and we would have a lot of fun together, and I would show them so much love. I currently only work weekend over night shifts. So I have a lot of time during the week to play with your pets, and give them walks, or even just to check in. So I live in a tiny apartment, so unfortunately I can’t have the pets at my house as much as I would like. But I wouldn’t mind coming over to your place and help dog/cat sit or even to just check in. I am very respectful, quiet, and clean. If a mess was ever made between the pet or me, I would make sure I properly clean it up. I am also a very trust worthy person. Even if you don’t want me in the house, I have a car and can take your pet for a nice walk, and have some fun running around. I take my dog to some nice trials, or big fields as well. I can always bring my own dog if your dog wants company, but I don’t always have to bring my dog either.


9. Kaylee P.
“Kaylee is reliable, responsible and trustworthy. She has babysat my dogs many times. I also employee Kaylee to walk dogs for my pet sitting business when I am unavailable. She has a great passion for dogs and lots of experience.”


10. Ixia A.
“Ixia is amazing! She’s caring, friendly, and always on time. Our dog loves her, and we feel great knowing he’s in such good hands with her.”


11. Alyssa P.

“Alyssa was amazing with my pets. She went above and beyond what was asked. Mini (lab mix) is not a dog that warms up quickly to others and Alyssa didn’t give up on her. I do believe they are finally friends. I will be a repeat client and won’t hesitate to use Alyssa again.”


12. Kayla C.

“To say our pets love Kayla is an understatement! Kayla cares for our furry family as if they were her own! We always come back to the happiest and most relaxed pets!”


13. Abigail S.

“Abigail was amazing with my dog and cats! I received many snuggle photos, and they were great when we got home. I will definitely be booking her again 💚”


14. Katelyn R.
“Katelyn is the perfect person to care for your dog! She has been a dog lover her whole life and I trust her completely with my own dog. She would no doubt be a loving dog caregiver!”


15. Melissa T.
“Melissa T. or rather my mom, is the best dog mom any dogs could have! She's extremely devoted to the pups and she's truly passionate about Animals as a whole. I'd trust her with any dog or pet, she's the most understanding dog mom anyone could get, she gets that each dog and their families are different and will totally go out of her way to do whatever is needed to treat your dog like a Prince/Princess. She's kind and considerate with all animals and I would hire her any day to walk and care for my own pets, she's the best choice you could ever pick!”


16. Josilene L.
“Josilene is an amazing person! Ive gotten the pleasure to know her more over the course of a few years and has never come short in any aspect. She’s true to her word and her love for animals is top tier! She treats my two puppies with so much love anytime she’s around them. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to take care of their pet.”


17. Kristie & Dominick S.

“My wife and I had a wedding to attend down in Florida, and most of the friends and family that would normally watch our dogs were unavailable. We reached out to Kristie on short notice to see if she was available to watch them while we were away. She responded promptly, and came by to meet our dogs (Bandit & Bailey) within a couple of days. I could immediately tell she knew what she was doing as she walked through our door and was able to deflect our crazy jumper (Bandit, high-energy 100lb black lab) effortlessly. After talking over our typical routine, and playing a bit of fetch outside, I felt confident that she would be a great fit. We booked her that day. Days later, we finally made our way down to Florida and our pups were in Kristie's hands. From the very first day, she did a great job following their typical routine, and gave them quite a bit of exercise playing fetch out in the back yard. She sent a bunch of photos, and it was clear to us that they were very happy doggos! It really put our minds at ease, and allowed us to enjoy our little wedding vacation. I will definitely be reaching out to Kristie to have her watch our dogs again. She did a great job, and as I mentioned earlier, our black lab Bandit can be handful, and she handled it without a problem. For anyone else reading this, look no further, Kristie is the best.”


18. Nila P.

“Nila is a sweet and loving caregiver who treated our yorkie like her own for the week we were traveling abroad. She responded quickly after another sitter cancelled just a week before our trip. She met us for a meet and greet and answered all of our questions, putting our minds at ease. While we were away she was very communicative and responsive. She went the extra mile to share photos and videos and accommodate our requests (she even watered our plants!). We could tell our pup was having an awesome staycation with her and her sweet dog Luca filled with walks, playtime and attention. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Nila!!”
