“I had such a wonderful experience with Julia! She took amazing care of my dog and a last minute second dog. She also took great care of my home. She sent regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins. My Dilly was when I got home. I would absolutely book Julia again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!”

“Jennifer is great! We have hired her twice and our dog loves her. Our home is well looked after when we are gone and we get thoughtful updates about how our dog is while we are on vacation.”

“Every pet parent understands the anxiety and unknowns that come along with hiring a new sitter for the first time. In our first conversations, Johnathan was very easy to talk to and work with. I already had a good feeling before he came to the house for a meet-and-greet with the pets, but when he arrived and everyone took to him very quickly in the first couple minutes, we knew we had a winner and my stress about leaving town was immediately put at ease. The kids obviously approved, but I was very impressed by his calm, down-to-earth demeanor, can-do attitude, and diligent attention to detail. I blasted him with a lot of info, instructions, details, things to look out for, etc, and he absorbed it all. I did type up detailed instructions for him to reference while we were gone and he followed them to the letter. Not only was he pet sitting, but he stayed and house sat here at our home for 4 days with the kids. I had no concerns or reservations about him before leaving, and that was only reinforced in spaids when we returned home and the household was fully intact, pristine, well-cared for, and the pets were all obviously very much at ease, content, and happy. He even made the bed back as it was, and left no trace behind him anywhere. While we were away, he sent frequent updates and photos daily, which were very appreciated. He was responsive, communicative, easy to work with, very pleasant and respectful, and obviously he took exceptionally great care of our big dog and 2 kitties. He is very sweet and doting with them, and they clearly adore him in return. If you can't tell already, I am very fortunate and appreciative of finding Johnathan to pet/house sit for us. I have full faith in his commitment to and ability to uphold the highest of standards of pet care, and I can't recommend him highly enough to other pet parents. Obviously, I will be hiring Johnathan again repeatedly, and I'm sure the pets will be very excited to see him again when he does. 12 out of 10. Would hire again. Thanks, Johnathan!”

“Evelyn did a great job taking care of our dog and our home while we were away. She is very quick to respond and kept us updated with many pictures of walks, meals, meds, and naps. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“This was the best sitting experience I could have asked for. Kristin is our primary and regular sitter, we do daily drop ins for Harley during the week and Harley adores her time with Kristin. It was a no brainer to ask her to in-house sit for Harley while I’m away for work. Kristin provides updates on Harley’s day with the best photos (seriously a dog photographer). She kept to Harley’s busy schedule, and even the neighbors have raved about how amazing Kristin is with Harley when they see her. All around amazing experience and I would absolutely do it all over again. I felt so comfortable and I know my puppy girl is in GREAT hands. Kristin leads with care and it shows in the way my puppy feels so happy and comfortable with her.”

About: I am experienced in taking care of dogs and love giving them the exercise they crave! I love walking and exploring almost as much as dogs do. I am very protective and understand the responsibility required to care for a pet because I have a dog of my own. I am available most weekdays at any time. I am not available most weekends. My schedule is pretty open so I have time to care for your pups! I prioritize safety and responsible caretaking above all else. I make sure the dogs I care for a comfortable, happy, and active when they want to be.
