“McKenna was so great! She really paid attention to every little detail about our 2 pups and took amazing care of them while we were away. She sent lots of pics and updates and was also super flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed! We will absolutely book her again!”
“We’re absolutely thrilled to share our experience with Anna and Hieu—they truly went above and beyond for our pets. We hadn’t traveled without our dogs in quite a while, and finding caring, gentle people to look after them was a top priority for both of us. We’re overjoyed to say that Anna and Hieu exceeded every expectation. Our two beloved dogs each have their own personalities—one is outgoing and social, while the other is a bit more reserved and needs extra patience to feel comfortable. Without hesitation, Anna and Hieu gave our timid pup the extra care he needed, making sure he felt safe and loved. We both agree that he’s now completely smitten with them! Throughout our time away, Anna and Hieu kept us updated with thoughtful summaries and the cutest pictures of our dogs. When we returned, it was clear our boys were relaxed and content—it honestly felt as if we hadn’t been gone at all. The peace of mind they provided was priceless; it felt like angels were watching over our family. We can’t thank Anna and Hieu enough for their incredible care and attention to every detail. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for the absolute best care for both their pets and home!”
“Winnie is such a sweet person and loved my dogs. I will use her again and because I am going to be selfish and not want her to be to busy to watch my dogs.... she is wonderful.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Angela! While caring for Chloe, she quickly noticed signs that something wasn’t right and contacted me immediately. Because of her attentiveness and fast communication, we were able to get Chloe to the vet right away, where she was diagnosed with a pancreatitis flare up and received the treatment she needed. Her attention to detail, genuine concern, and proactive approach truly went above and beyond. It’s clear she cares deeply about the pets she watches and pays close attention to their well-being. I’m incredibly grateful for her quick action, which made a huge difference for my Chloe’s health. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter!”
“Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!”
“Tara is Wonderful!! She took excellent care of our pug Buddy-playing ball outside with him, lots of snuggling and gave him his meals and chews. She sent us lots of photos and kept us posted. Our house was spotless when we came home and we have a very contented pug❤️❤️ Tara is a treasure! We look forward to have her take care of Buddy again.”
“Molly is a AMAZING. Stranded at the airport due to the weather and flight cancellations she was able to stay extra days. So helpful and flexible. Lots of great pictures/updates of the dogs relaxing in their environment at home. We have been booking with Molly since 2020 and absolutely recommend her. She is trustworthy and takes exceptional care of our pets and home.”
“What an amazing sitter. The pups loved her and she kept us updated on their day with pictures. Yocelyn is also a wonderful house guest. We came back to our home in perfect condition. What a great experience with her - a true pet lover.”
“Veronica took great care of our pups and home while we were away! She provided regular updates and pictures to let us know how everyone was doing. And she very graciously tidied up the house before she left. Our pups can be a handful, especially our puppy Leo who is very energetic and mouthy. But Veronica took it all in stride and was very patient with them. We returned to three very happy pups! We will definitely be booking with Veronica again!”
“I really don’t trust any dog sitter like I trust Ray to take care of our dog. He’s a great boy, but doesn’t want pets and snuggles all the time and Ray is happy to let him just be him. It’s actually so hard to find! Ray left our house clean and well looked after. Will definitely keep going back to Ray!”
“Jenny was great as always! Made our weekend away stress free and sent us plenty of pictures and notes so we knew our dog was in great hands. We came home to a clean house and happy pets- highly recommend!”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, and maintaining a consistent routine. I understand the importance of patience, clear communication, and providing a safe, structured environment! 😊 I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including younger puppies who may still be in training or that may have accidents. I am patient, attentive, and understand that consistency is key when working with younger dogs. I prioritize reliability, cleanliness, and carefully following all owner instructions to ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable!🐶🐾 I work full-time in the restaurant industry, so my weekday availability varies. I am generally available before 10:30 AM and after work hours, on mornings-only shifts, I typically get off by 4 PM, and on double shifts, availability may start later in the evening. Weekends I am fully available from morning until night, and occasionally I have spontaneous days off that I can dedicate to dog care. I always communicate my exact availability in advance. I provide attentive and loving care for pets in their own homes, including drop-in visits, daytime sitting, and walks. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and playtime routines. I make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy while keeping their environment clean and secure. On walks, I prioritize safety and exercise suited to each dog’s energy level. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Michelle was very gracious and kind to come last minute when my mom had an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and understanding when my mom had a crisis and my husband was delayed getting back home. Her kindness and affection with our boy Sherlock was wonderful!”

I would highly recommend Jackie to care for your fur babies. She is caring, detail oriented, and has great communication. While I was out of town, she took care of my two pups and ancient cat like they were her own - did all the feedings, pottying, litter box cleaning, etc. I feel comfortable leaving them in her care and I’m so thankful to have found such a wonderful sitter.
We have two very anxious pups, and against all odds ZaNai won them both over. She was patient, knowledgable, and clearly experienced. She kept us informed and even FaceTimed us daily so we could see the dogs. She took great care of our house, leaving it clean and even ready for us to come home with fresh linens on the beds and freshly baked brownies on the counter! We are so grateful for ZaNai and would 100% recommend her to anybody looking for an in-home dog sitter!
This was the second time we used Sarah as our pet sitter, and once again she exceeded our expectations. She is incredibly thoughtful and conscientious, always making sure she has accurate and detailed information about our pets' needs before we leave. We have an elderly dog and a cat, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing they are in such capable hands. She takes excellent care of them, keeps us updated with messages and is always attentive to any special needs or routines. When we return home, our pets are happy and well cared for, and the house is left spotless. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter.
This was the second time Tara cared for Nala, and once again she was absolutely amazing. Leaving your dog behind is never easy, especially when you know how much they miss you, but Tara always goes above and beyond to make sure Nala feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. Nala definitely misses me when I’m away, but Tara does such a wonderful job of being there for her and filling that void with affection, attention, and patience. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I am incredibly grateful to have found someone I trust so completely with my girl. Tara is reliable, caring, and truly treats Nala like her own. I would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely continue booking with her in the future 🐾🐶🩷🫶🏻
Thanks to Leah I was able to have an absolutely wonderful and guilt free vacation. Receiving those daily updates, photos and videos makes all the difference when you are away from home and could tell Redd and Tea were safe, loved and having a good time with all the walks, snuggles and attention. Priceless!
This is our second time that Ray has cared for our sweet doggie in our home. She's a really caring sitter. She's experienced, has good judgment and loves animals, and she left our house in great shape. Having her take care of Honey in our home gave us real peace of mind. We will definitely ask her to watch Honey again.
Stephanie was wonderful with our puppy, Galleta. She stayed our pup for various days over the last two weeks and was always loving, playful, and attentive. Galleta clearly enjoyed spending time with her. Stephanie was punctual, communicative, and sent great updates throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind. She was reliable and easy to coordinate with, and we would happily have her watch Galleta again. We definitely recommend her! 🐶
Adriana has always taken the best care of our two dogs Luna and Scout. We especially appreciate her thoroughness and attention to detail regarding the care they need. Adriana is generous, always caring, and frequently spoils our dogs with new toys and treats. Our dogs always have a big smile on their face when Adriana cares for them (:
Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!
Kaiya and Charles did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. They sent detailed updates and photos of our dogs while we were out of town. They were very respectful with our home and took excellent care of our house while we were out of town. 100 percent will rebook if we need a dog sitter again!
