Wonderful to have Sidney watch our Bella. She always kept informed with adorable pictures and highlights of her day. We definitely welcome her back to puppy sitting for us.

Auden and Yen (her right hand canine assistant) kept our 8 month old female Birdie safe, loved ,exercised and entertained for eight days at our house while we had a trip out of state. First time we have left our puppy with a pet sitter and we’re naturally anxious at first but felt completely relaxed and confident with Auden especially after many cute pictures and texts of Birdie and Yen playing, sleeping and on walks together. Such a relief to find someone you feel safe leaving your pet with.

Isabelle and her boyfriend were great at taking care of Cooper. They were so sweet and made sure he had plenty of activities to wear him out. Would use them again!

About: I have taken care of my over 13 pets through the years, as an only child my cats and dogs have been very close to my heart and truly apart of my family. I hope to be able to meet not only your pets needs But yours as well! I have school and a part time job but I have flexible schedules with class not being long than 3 hours at a time and breaks in between. My work schedule is only in the afternoon to evening and is extremely flexible! I always make sure to ask questions to understand your pets needs and make sure I have plenty of time for them! I usually try to follow any instructions given and get in contact with any questions!

Mika is a reactive dog around strangers, and this was her very first time staying alone without me — so it wasn’t an easy situation. The first few hours were tough, but Sky, with so much patience, love, and sensitivity, managed to earn Mika’s trust and affection on the very first day. It was truly amazing. 🤩 On top of that, Sky gave me so much peace of mind by sending frequent updates and photos of Mika, which really helped ease my anxiety. ADEMÁS que habla español, mi idioma nativo, así que no pude estar más cómoda en nuestra comunicación. Sky —a name that couldn’t be more fitting— is a kind, respectful, communicative, and very responsible young woman. I would trust her with Mika again a thousand times over. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sky! 💖

Rachel recently house sat and looked after my two Cavachon's. I was a little apprehensive using this service at first but had no choice due to circumstances. I will say it was first class all due to Rachel and her professionalism, responsible nature, caring & thoughtful consideration for my pets. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone considering her services !! Great job Rachel and thank you again !! This allowed me to go on my trip that I would have otherwise had to cancel !!

About: I'm a firm believer that life is better with dogs. However, I know how busy life can get, so I'm happy to help somebody keep the dog in their life happy. I work from home so I'm here all the time, so my schedule can be flexible during the day. My dogs are my babies and I will treat yours like they are, too. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I can come over in the morning for breakfast, in the middle of the day for walks, to at night for dinner. I would prefer to care for your dogs in your home. I have 3 of my own, so it would be a little chaotic if they were all here
