“Betty is amazing, we couldn't be happier with the services she provided. From the meet & greet thru to the end of her stay she was on top of everything and always in communication. Margo and Griffin adored her and we all look forward to Betty coming back again and again.”

“Summer watched Katie for me on short notice and did a wonderful job! Went above and beyond to make sure my girl was cared for. I’ll reach out to her next time I need a sitter!”

“Georgia was amazing! She took care of our dog for over a week and provided loving care. We enjoyed the daily updates and pictures which helped us feel at ease. Even our neighbors commented on how nice Georgia was to chat with, and how she took such good care of our Cooper. Georgia went above and beyond and cared for our plants as well. We highly recommend Georgia.”

“Kelly was great! She sent daily pictures and details about the day. She took care of the house/pets for 6 days and not a single day went by without hearing from her. Our pups definitely loved being able to cuddle at night with someone rather than being boarded. We even came home to clean and folded laundry! I will use Kelly for all of our pet sitting and will recommend her 100%!”

“I sincerely appreciate your help.I feel very fortunate. The sense of well-being I feel is comforting. Seeing kenji so calm is a great satisfaction. I truly value your care for Kenji . Thank you for everything.”

“Emma was such a breath of relief for staying at our home and taking care of our 3 dogs. She took them for walks which is a feat in itself as they all have different leash personalities. She kept us posted when one broke a toe nail and it bled some. She even went the extra mile when our flights were delayed due to the government shutdown to make sure they had their potty break. We will definitely being using Emma again in the future.”

“If I could give Marci 10 stars I would! She went above and beyond when we were traveling OUT during the ice storm and returned during the snow storm. She braved the horrible weather and took excellent care of our dog and cat. With going through such a stressful time figuring out flight cancelations and delays it was such a relief that she made sure we knew our dog and cat were happy and safe and cared for. It made all the difference in the world, her thoughtfulness and kindness has gone above and beyond what was expected. She checked in regularly with pictures and we were able to enjoy our time away without one worry about our pets. We will continue to book with her! The. BEST. Dog sitter.”

About: I've taken care of pets for a very long time, growing up with a dog and as an adult having two cats. I love animals so much, and my biggest priority will always be their safety and comfort. When it comes to dogs, I've pet-sat and done drop-ins for many peoples pets these past years. I love going on long walks with dogs that need them, and I understand some have limitations and may just need to be let out to the back yard too. I also love to play with the more energetic ones that want to play. I'm very respectful of your space and privacy. I'll make sure that if I stay in your home to pet-sit, everything will be back they way it was (pr better) by the time I've finished taking care of your dog. I can also administer topical and oral medications for dogs, so if they need daily pills or to have their flea and tick preventative administered, I can absolutely help! I'm also happy to provide daily check-ins with you regarding your pet! If you need someone detail-oriented, attentive, and respectful of your pet's boundaries, then I'm here for you. I work part time and I can make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to either drop in to take care of your pets, or stay in your home with them! I'm happy to follow any instructions you leave regarding your pet's safety. If you need to ensure that child protective locks are always in place or that you dog gets crated at the end of the day, I can guarantee that will happen. I'm also very cautious of little escape artists, and will be sure that your pets are securely in your home as I'm leaving and entering.
“Bec was AMAZING. She pet sat for our two dogs, two cats, 9 ducks, and 12 foster cats. She was easy to communicate with and showed honest concern when our one dog starting showing his (normal) signs of anxiety with mom and dad being gone. We came home to happy, healthy pets and a clean home! We will definitely be using Bec again in the future!”

“Dinira was awesome, she took really good care of our girls and she hung around to give them there dinner after our flight back home was delayed. We will definitely book her again.”

“Aubrey was excellent with our cat Roo. She cared for her as if she were her own. Very gentle and loving. Played with her A LOT and alerted us to a few possible issues. She is very knowledgeable about cat behaviors and habits. She took excellent care of our home as well. Very responsible and personable.”

“This is our second time having Adoni sit with our dog and cat. She is a natural with pets. Our dog took to her right away. Our very reticent cat even made an appearance. Adoni is very responsive and meticulous with scheduling. Communication is within minutes and she sends texts to let us know when she will arrive. We leave pages of directions for our finicky four footers and she willingly follows their quirks and schedules. Plus, she is just a delightful person!”

“Morgan always does such a wonderful job taking care of my three senior pups! I know they are in safe hands and will be well cared for. She goes above and beyond to make sure they each get love and individual time. So thankful for her!”

“Lex took such amazing care of my girls while we took a trip out of town this weekend! Not only was she super flexible, but I felt at ease knowing the girls were safe and happy. This was the first time I’ve left the girls alone, but Lex really made the experience enjoyable and I plan to book her again whenever we get time off to go somewhere!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. Now that I’m older I’ve had plenty experience caring for them whether that be pet sitting for friends and family or in my line of work. Something that will set me apart from other sitters you may come across is my experience working at a kennel. This includes specifically working with service dogs, boarding pets, and k9 working. I’ve worked with a variety of dog breeds, ages and behaviors, meaning I can cater to whatever your pets needs :) Since I work as a kennel technician, being with and caring for animals is practically second nature to me. Being able to pet sit would be right up my alley and perfect for the experience I have. Your pet is 100% guaranteed to get the best care I can provide. To list a few this includes always having fresh water, appropriate exercise, meals according to their routine, cleaning up any messes, administering any medication and of course lots of attention. Pet behavior will also be monitored and you will receive ample updates on anything and everything going on with your fur baby.
“Highly recommend booking with McKayla!! Mckayla and her partner, Sam were amazing with my two dogs for TEN days! They went above and beyond to help with watering my garden and plants while they were there. They even sent pictures of the garden alongside picture updates of the dogs almost every day! Mckayla made sure to ask plenty of questions prior to house/dog sitting, as well as during the stay, which just shows how much she cares about the dogs and respects the home. I have two 85 pound, loud hounds so I’m always nervous someone won’t want to come back, but she happily offered for my next time away. I will absolutely rebook if she is available the next time I need a dog/house sitter!”

“Skylar was great! She was able to sit last minute after one of my other sitter’s had to cancel. She communicated with me about how Milo was doing and took great care of him!”

“Melany was great. She took good care of both our dogs, as well as our daughter's cat, some guinea pigs, and even some chickens! The house was well cared for while we were gone. Definitely recommend her as a housesitter.”

Grace met with us several times before our trip and made sure she knew our dog's routine and where everything was. She took exceptional care of our dog and kept us informed about her by sending us photos while we were gone. She is honest, conscientious and kind and we will certainly call upon her again if we need a sitter for our dog while we are out of town. I can't say enough good things about her and we highly recommend Grace!

Emmy stayed with our two pugs for a week while we were traveling and we knew they were in good hands the whole time!! She made special accommodations to be available for mid-day bathroom breaks and was extra attentive to our older and more anxious pup. Prior to her stay, when Emmy came to meet with us for the first time, we learned that she also babysits and she sat for our kids a few times before our trip and they LOVE her. We're so glad that we have Emmy in our lives!!
