“Ben’s service to our dog and our family was top-notch. He was prompt for the meet and greet meeting, he messaged ahead on the day of the booking to see if there was anything that needed changed. He went above and beyond with watching our dog: taking her for a walk and playtime in the backyard. He texted us photos and even a concern about a skin blemish with our dog. He cleaned up very well after himself, even laundering our guest bedroom bedding. We recommend his services to anyone who has need. And we will definitely be booking him again.”
“Judy did a fantastic job taking care of our senior beagle, Dakota, while staying at our cabin. She sent regular pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Dakota was well-loved and looked after, and we came home to a happy dog. Judy cared for Dakota as if she was her own. The cabin was left neat and clean, and everything was just as we left it. A bear visited our property one evening and made quite a mess of the trash and bird feeders. Judy had it cleaned up before we arrived home. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave to both our dog and our home. We would absolutely recommend her and hope to have her back again in the future!”

“Brittany did an excellent job! She responded very quickly and sent me lots of messages and photos throughout the stay!”
“Margaux did great with Baloo. He struggles on stairs and she worked with him on his skills while we were away! She provided updates throughout the stay too”
About: Grew up with cats and dogs, fed, walked, cleaned up after them, played with them, and downright spoiled them rotten. I currently have three cats of my own. I drive for Uber so I have a wide-open schedule to work with. Just let me know the day and time and I will do my best to accommodate you. I check to see if their basic needs are taken care of (food, water, clean box, pet-messes cleaned up), then I try to get them to trust me enough for them to come to me.
“I can not say enough good things about Melani!! From the original request, to the meet and greet, to the actual overnight stay. Her communication and personality are wonderful and you can tell she truly cares about the pets she’s watching. We were nervous to leave our babies for the first time and she did an exceptional job to keep us updated and our minds at ease.”
“Sarah went above and beyond when taking care of my pets for a weekend. I was really nervous about leaving them, but she sent pictures and updates daily and it was really comforting knowing that my animals were both at home in their comfort zone. That definitely relieved some of my anxiety! I highly recommend Sarah and will definitely be booking her as needed.”
“Amelia made sure my dogs Squirt, Savvy and Ari knew they were cared for. She sent pictures and also messages about each dogs' behavior. I really appreciate her staying with them while I was out of town.”
“Katrina was wonderful. She was very nice and Alvie took to her right away so I had no anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a dog sitter and we would absolutely use her again.”

I do have a full time job but I have the ability to take care of animals before work, during my lunch break, and for a while after work as well! My lunch break is long enough to allow for taking care of an animal as much as is needed before going back to work. I also have days of in the middle of the week as opposed to the weekend that allows for more time with a furry friend! I don’t have a fenced in yard so I take my high energy Doberman to the dog park frequently and on plenty of walks to allow for him to work off all of his energy as much as possible. I like to leave the animals I watch exhausted in the best way possible while also accounting for conditions such as heat stroke or hypothermia in the most responsible way!
