“Jinni is great! We weren’t sure how our toy poodle would handle spending time with a stranger (he can be a little shy and this was our first booking). We were so happy to see him hanging out on her lap shortly after we left! Clearly Jinni’s calm, easy energy made him feel right at home. :) Highly recommend!”


“Erika was amazing staying at our home and caring for our pets and house. She was attentive, communicative, and helpful if needed. Will 100% be using her services again!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Amy was truly a dream. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She followed all of our instructions to a T—kept up with our pup’s training, stuck to her schedule, took her on long, enriching walks, and made sure she got plenty of love and structure. We received thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Not only was our dog incredibly well cared for, but our home was left spotless and orderly—it honestly felt like we came home to a reset space. She met our needs and then some. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend!”


“Yesenia loved our dogs and did a wonderful job communicating while we were gone and she house sat for us. Multiple pictures a day and lots of dog walks, she really enjoys caring for our fur babies. We recommend using Yesenia if you need an animal/house sitter.”


“I’d recommend April to family and friends. She boarded at my house with my two big energy dogs and did great! She sent updates with photos while I was away and the boys were happy and tails wagging. Thank you April for snuggling them while I was away”



“I highly recommend Patricia! I had to leave for several days and was nervous about leaving Dobby with a stranger but she was a perfect fit. She was patient, followed our instructions, sent me regular updates and photos, and the best part treat him as he likes. He loves her! I am hiring her again for my next trips. Thanks Patricia”


“This was our first time leaving our Weimaraner Freya with someone who wasn’t immediate family. She was a little bit anxious and Melissa was amazing at adapting the schedule to make sure that Freya felt the most comfortable. She sent updates and pictures which made us feel more at ease. We definitely will want to use Melissa again in the future!”


“Alyssa was great with our dog during a long weekend stay! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and update, and our home was in perfect shape when we returned. We’ll definitely work with her again.”



“Julia was amazing! She stayed at our home for a week and took such thoughtful care of our dog Shadow, our two cats Ollie and Athena, and our turtle tank. We loved receiving her daily updates and photos! It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions closely and clearly treated our pets like her own. On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely work with her again! Highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and detail-oriented sitter! Thank you so much, Julia!”



“Absolute A+ service. We were nervous to have someone watch our two dogs based off of a bad past experience, but Karilou quickly put our nerves at ease. Her communication throughout the entire visit exceeded our expectations. She was very attentive to our dogs and asked questions if anything seemed unusual. She also took good care of our home and left it tidy and clean. Would recommend to others and would happy to ask for her help watching our dogs again in the future!”


“Jennifer was awesome! This was our first time hiring her for our senior pup Stella. She was very communicative around the booking and asked lots of questions to make sure we were a good fit. She took detailed notes about Stella and her schedule and patterns and behaviors. She managed Stella’s medications and she gave us daily updates while we were gone. Stella sprained her paw while running through our yard (which happens regularly) and Jennifer was so sweet and caring and concerned for Stella’s well being. It was very appreciated. Our house was spotless when we returned. We would absolutely hire Jennifer again and will definitely be recommending her to others. Thank you Jennifer!”


“We’ve had several cat sitters over the years, but Sara has truly set a new gold standard. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly a true animal lover. But what really stood out was how comfortable and at ease our cats were with her — something that has never happened so quickly with anyone else. Every day, we received thoughtful updates and a ton of adorable photos that genuinely brightened our day and gave us peace of mind. It was so obvious from the pictures that our cats weren’t just being “watched” — they were cared for, played with, and loved. When we got home, the house was in beautiful shape, and our cats were relaxed and happy, not stressed or clingy like they’ve sometimes been after we’ve been away. It honestly felt like they had been on vacation too! Sara is the kind of sitter every pet owner hopes to find — trustworthy, attentive, and clearly devoted to the animals she cares for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again.”


“Justine took amazing care of my dog Henry. He is reactive and wary of new people but Justine took the time to make sure he was totally comfortable with her before she stayed with him. She is patient, caring, and really understands how to gain a dog’s trust. I would absolutely recommend Justine to care for your pet. She’s great!”


“Bonnie was great with our dog, Bruno, who has some particular needs since he is reactive to other dogs. She took pictures to update us which was amazing. She also went above and beyond to help when we encountered a whole half day of travel delays. Our house was left in great shape too. We highly recommend her!”


“Brittany was absolutely amazing! We received photo and daily updates that were excellent, detailed, and effective at putting our minds at ease that our dogs were doing great. As an extra bonus, her photos are so good! Our house was well cared for, clean, and she even washed her sheets and towels before she left. What a professional! We are very happy customers and would definitely book her again.”


About: I grew up with dogs from puppy to old age and through incredibly difficult sickness. We trained them how to use their doggy door to go outside and also how to be kind to the cats we have in the house. I also grew up with three generations of cats and got to see how mamas raised their kittens. Late afternoons and weekends are the best time for my services. I can especially have all days Saturday and Sunday to go walking, encourage exercise and be providing meals and entertainment. I am very supportive and attentive in the clients household to the pet but cuddling inside and staying warm or going outside in the backyard to get some movement in!


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matilda was absolutely wonderful with our babies! They were kind, reliable, and clearly cared for our pups like their own. We came back to 4 happy and well-cared-for pups—couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!”
