About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.
“Deanna is wonderful. I was nervous to leave my two cats, but as soon as I met Deanna my worry was gone. She's clearly done this before and cares about our animals. We received pictures and videos everyday and the cats seemed quite happy when we got back. Deanna took really good care of my babies and I am grateful for that. Also our apartment has a very difficult door/entrance and she was very patient and willing to figure it out. Deanna rules.”

“Cortney was a wonderful dog sitter- she was very responsive and calm even when my alarm randomly went off! I will definitely be using Cortney again to watch Maisy!”

“Hanna is great! Our cat really warmed up to her and we felt good knowing she was there to spend time! She handled everything really smoothly and sent lots of pictures. I would absolutely recommend Hanna for your pet care needs!”


“Daphne is a life saver! Both times we’ve booked with her we’re somewhat last minute emergencies and Daphne treated the time with such care and professionalism. Her attention to detail, adaptability and true enjoyment of what she does will keep us coming back!”

“Alaina is the best!! She was super flexible and able to watch our cat for a weekend with pretty short notice. She took great care of our kitty, she sent lots of photos and it was so nice to have peace of mind while we were out of town. We will absolutely be booking with her in the future!”

“Danielle watched our dog Finley while we were away on spring break. We both felt immediately comfortable with her on our first visit. He was very well cared for. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

“Eliza was great, it was comforting to know she was caring for our cats while away. She followed all instructions and communicated effectively. Highly recommend!”

“Caitlin is amazing! She took extra great care of our cat while we were away for 10 days and made her feel like we never left, by giving her lots and lots of love. We’ll definitely work with Caitlin again in the future!”

“Jamie was perfect. Minnie took to her almost immediately. She kept me well informed and even helped with a package that was delivered while I was out of town. I’ll absolutely book with Jamie again if i find myself out of town for a long period.”

“We love Elizabeth! She’s great with my Great Dane and has become our regular sitter. Responsive, great with care instructions, and super reliable. :)”

“Simon was a phenomenal caretaker for my guy Cornelius. Checked in and out with every visit, communicated amazingly throughout the entire time. He definitely has a knack for taking great doggo pics. Was also able to accommodate a last minute booking and extension of service due to travel delays. Highly recommend booking with him if you want someone caring about your dogs much as you do while you’re not there!”

“Sarah is a wonderful dog sitter! I’ve had to call her last minute a few times and she is always quick to respond. She sends the best updates and I can tell she really cares about the pets she sees. I would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pet!”

“Sarah was great with my 5 1/2 month old kitten. She was able to play and cuddle with him during his first time apart from his family and he was in great spirits when we came home!”

“Stacy and Patrick came over twice to take care of our pup, Maka, while we were gone for a night. When we met them before booking, they were very receptive to everything we went over with them from quirks with our house to quirks with our dog! Maka also liked them both right away which is what we cared about most because it is very rare that we use dog sitter services and she can be a bit hesitant with strangers. Everything went very smoothly and I'll definitely reach out to them again if we need a sitter!”

Victoria was so great with our two cats! They warmed to her quickly, she gave helpful updates, and also generously helped bring in deliveries that came while we were away. It was refreshing to not worry about them, knowing they were in good hands, while we were away/ Thanks, Victoria!

Alyssa has been a great cat sitter for us. Communicates frequently and quickly, sends reassuring updates with pics & videos, and provides good care and attention to our cat. We trust her 100% and I'm sad to be moving out of state and losing such a good sitter.

Samantha is fantastic at communicating regarding her schedule and not taking on more than she’s able. She is a stable, fun loving caretaker and follows all instructions. She took wonderful care of my cat and sent sweet photos documenting her time with him. It helped me to enjoy my travels, knowing she was looking after my beloved pet.

Recently booked Carlie for drop-in visits for our cat during our 5-day vacation. I was worried about leaving her with a rather long to-do list, but she handled it with ease. I also enjoyed the goofy pics she took of my girl and the report card she provided after every visit. She far exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again, Carlie! 😸

Sarah is a godsend. My cat may love her more than me 😂 Seriously, if Sarah isn't available then I just don't travel. I don't trust my pet and home with anyone else. She goes above and beyond, and is so dependable and good with communication. The peace of mind she provides is worth 10x what she charges.
