About: From pint-sized 5lb Yorkies with fabulous hair to giant 130lb Goldens with a fluffy tail. I’ve loved and cared for them all! I adapt to every pup’s vibe: ready to hit the trail for a run, wander the park for a sniff-filled stroll, or curl up under a cozy blanket for cuddle time. As a true outdoors lover, I’m happiest when tails are wagging, noses are twitching, and pups feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home MWF and off on the weekends , so your dog will have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband and I are active and love going on walks, exploring parks, and enjoying outdoor adventures. Perfect opportunities for your pup to join in on the fun. Whether it’s morning playtime, mid-day potty breaks, or evening strolls, we make sure pets are engaged, exercised, and happy. Of course, we also love cozy downtime, so there’s always space for blanket cuddles and belly rubs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, with a balance of activity, companionship, and comfort. In your home, we stick to all your guidelines and expectations, making sure everything stays secure and exactly as we found it. At our house, we ask that pups are potty trained since we have carpet upstairs, but don’t worry, I work from home, so your dog can enjoy frequent trips to our fenced backyard for playtime, potty breaks, or fresh-air fun. Whether at your home or ours, your pup will get lots of love, attention, and wag-worthy adventures!

We had such a wonderful experience with Alyssa. They took such thoughtful care of Mabel and Sweet Pea, making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-loved while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our cats were in kind, reliable hands. We would happily book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly attentive care.

Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!

Savannah did an amazingly awesome job taking care of all 3 of our Labs from our Senior one to our 11 month old puppy. We came home to 3 very happy healthy dogs just as we left them. This was our first experience with a drop in dog sitter, we usually take them to the kennel but with our Senior Lab we decided to try a sitter and I am so glad we did. She kept us well informed with their progress daily with her check ins and pictures of each of them each time she visited. I would absolutely recommend Savannah to any one who might need an awesome dog sitter.

Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!

Our regular sitter for our cat was unavailable so we booked Cat at the last minute. I am so glad we did! She was so great with our cat and went above and beyond to take care of him while we were away! I get so nervous leaving our pets when we travel and Cat gave me so much peace of mind. It can be hard to find someone to take care of cats on here, so I definitely recommend her!

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience fully taking care of both including administering various types of medicine including inhalers, pills, and creams. I work full time during the day and am available at nights. I have some flexibility during the days to leave and check on pets. I work some weekends but would be available nights. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable in their environment, no matter where they are. I make sure the home is safe and/or the pets stay in a safe space. I also follow any and all instructions for health and physical safety.

Jeffrey is the most consistent and responsible sitter we have had in a long time! He cares for our three little nuggets like they are his own. It’s always hard to leave them behind for any lengthy period of time but Jeffrey makes it just a bit easier knowing they are getting loved on and receiving top notch care!!
