“Cindy was great, taking excellent care of my pup. She sent numerous photos during the day, checked in confirming my return time, and left the house spotless, with sheets and towels cleaned and folded, and trash taken out. She respected my "house guidelines" and was responsive when contacted. Highly recommend, and would be happy to have her dog sit again!”

“We have used MacKenzie on two occasions now she is absolutely wonderful, very personable with our little dog Sophie. When we call in or text to check in on how things are going, she gets back to us right away always gives us a good report on how things are going and just makes us feel so comfortable that she’s home taking care of our little dog. She really knows what she is doing. She loves pets and knows how to take very good care of them. I would highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ve also bottle-fed a litter of puppies, which required constant attention, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility—something I bring to every pet I care for. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy or high-energy pets. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I prioritize clear communication and reliability, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you know your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make the experience as easy and worry-free as possible for both you and your pet. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I typically provide care throughout the day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks every 4–8 hours (or more frequently if needed and discussed in advance). I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific schedule. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Because I travel locally, I prioritize nearby bookings to ensure I’m always on time and able to give your pet the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and any specific care requirements. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and boundaries to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order while you’re away. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and surroundings to prevent any escapes or unsafe situations. I also prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Jolie was easy to schedule with, super responsive, and took great care of my pups. She was extremely thorough in making sure she understood their needs, sent me lots of pics, and left the house very clean! Highly recommend.”

“Betty was amazing. She stayed at my home 9 days with my two dogs. One of my dogs is very old and has accidents. Betty was very good with her and made sure she went out regularly, so she didn't have those accidents. She kept in touch sending me updates daily. Which I really appreciated. I will use Betty whenever I go out of town and I highly recommend her.”

“Alayna is reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I have complete confidence in her and wouldn't hesitate to have her take care of our cat and house again. She's the best!”

“Meisha did an amazing job watching Pongo! Her communication was 10/10, which gave me so much peace of mind, especially since we were going to be out of service for a few days. We came home to a clean house and a calm, happy dog. She provided lots of updates and was very respectful of Pongo’s initial uncertainty, giving him the space and time to warm up to her at his own pace.”


“Diana was phenomenal with our Golden Retriever, Dash. We were gone for just about a week and she sent multiple updates a day and made us feel very comfortable leaving him with her. I would highly recommend others book through her!”

“Emily is fantastic. She made sure all of Kodas needs were met while watching her, including taking her for hikes and trips to the dog park! It’s always reassuring knowing Koda is having fun and getting exercise when I have to travel for work. Emily was easy to communicate with and left the house very tidy. I’ll definitely be utilizing Emily’s services again.”

“Kaitlyn watched Coco and Charlie and I’m honestly someone who doesn’t trust people easily, especially when it comes to my dogs. Both of them need meds and have their own quirks, so it’s not simple. She handled everything so well. I didn’t have to worry or check in constantly, which says a lot for me. They were calm, cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. You can tell she actually pays attention and cares, not just going through the motions. I’d have her watch them again without hesitation!”

“Heather was beyond amazing!! She went above and beyond with her stay here with our 2 pups. They are both very high energy and she was able to wear them out day in and day out. She was extremely neat and tidy while house sitting and made sure the dogs were well taken care of. Previously, it had been stressful leaving our dogs for trips but Heather communicated very well and sent photos and videos throughout the day so we did not have to worry at all. I would recommend her to anyone as she is the best sitter I have met. She is well worth the price as she will love your animals like her own and give them their own mini vacation. I can not recommend Heather enough 😊”

“Michelle was an absolute DREAM to have watch Chester. The updates she would give were so descriptive and playful. She really went the extra mile to make sure our dog had the best experience possible and that we were not stressed at all about leaving him in her hands. She was incredibly kind and considerate to all our needs and was very communicative. We would absolutely book her again and look forward to doing so!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, when I started my own neighborhood dog-walking business. Since then, friends, family, neighbors, and referrals have trusted me with their pets, and spending time with animals continues to be one of my greatest joys. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s helping a puppy stay on track with crate training and routines, keeping an energetic dog active and engaged, or providing gentle, patient care for a senior dog, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know every dog as an individual. I understand that some dogs want long walks and adventures, while others are happiest relaxing at home with plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and personalized care throughout their stay. I’m currently working remotely Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule and will have plenty of time to prioritize walks and playtime depending on your dogs needs! Because I primarily offer house sitting and drop-in visits, my goal is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in the environment they know best. I take time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions before care begins. During house sits and drop-ins, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and companionship while ensuring pets feel safe and secure. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own and prioritize safety at all times, including secure leashing, monitoring pets outdoors, following household rules, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, loving, and attentive care.
“Danielle was great. Came home and I could tell Chinook had been cared for with love. I'll reach out to Danielle again when headed out of town. If you need a sitter or walk, she's the one.”

“Diana was such a pleasure to have in our home! She was so thoughtful and considerate. She sent pictures every day, and the dogs absolutely loved her. She took them for walks, they snuggled on the couch, she spent time with them outside, and when I got home, the house was absolutely spotless. I’m almost hesitant to leave such a glowing review because I want to make sure Diana is available the next time we need a sitter!”

Emily took such great care of Barney. She was so sweet with him and made sure he got plenty of love, cuddles, and walks. She kept us updated the whole time with great communication and lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. We could tell Barney was happy and well cared for! We’d definitely book with her again z

Alayna was excellent. She took care of our two full sized German Shepherd dogs over our extended 20 day vacation out of the country with no problems. She was communicative on questions with the house and sending photos of the pups. She has my highest possible recommendation!

I almost don’t want to tell anyone how much we LOVED Lauren because she’ll get too busy to sit for us. Lauren was so friendly, took such good care of our house and dogs, and sent updates and photos daily. And the dogs loved her! They snuggled on her every chance they got. Cannot recommend her enough, except for those time periods when we need her, okay?

Elizabeth was great with my dog Beans. I can’t always take her with me because she can be aggressive towards other dogs and Elizabeth did great at making sure beans was well taken care of and walked despite her issue. She sent pictures and updates everyday and was very kind and easy to work with!

Abaigeal watched our puppy, senior dog, and cat for five days over a weekend holiday. She took our puppy on many walks and hikes, and sent really good photos of these excursions. Our puppy has trouble trusting new people, but she seemed to warm up to Abaigeal quickly for her! Our home was left in a great state and she made it easy for us to come home from traveling and relax.

Meisha did an amazing job watching Pongo! Her communication was 10/10, which gave me so much peace of mind, especially since we were going to be out of service for a few days. We came home to a clean house and a calm, happy dog. She provided lots of updates and was very respectful of Pongo’s initial uncertainty, giving him the space and time to warm up to her at his own pace.

Rachel was communicative from first message through a long house sit. She sent daily photos, took great care of our pups and our house while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and hope we able to utilize her services again in the future. We felt lucky to have her while we were away.

Our dog Rye was in the best care with Sarah. She was very communicative about her schedule, how Rye was doing and sent the best photos of him. You can tell he was at ease with her. Sarah is definitely a dog person and attentive to their needs. Our dog has bad arthritis and she was great about giving him his medication, monitoring his stiffness and reducing his activity if needed. It was so nice to be able to to feel confident that Rye was well taken care of on our trip and will definitely be using Sarah again! She also stayed at our house and we came out to a very clean home!

Heather does an amazing job caring for our dogs while we are away. She takes 100% of the stress and worry away even when in remote areas with little service. Our dog with a chronic illness had a flare up this time around and she did great monitoring and providing care/updates that helped keep it under control. Our dogs love hanging out with Heather ❤️

Sarah was the best pet sitter ever! Even the dogs loved her so much and she loved them! She stayed with them all the time and she would send us updates and pictures everyday, she would feed them and play with them and on top of all of that we came back to the house even cleaner then how we left it! She even came so early at 6:30 because we asked if she could and she was amazing! Our little puppy isn't the best with new people but he absolutely fell in love with Sarah! I definitely recommend her to anyone if they want a pet sitter i will definitely be booking her the next time I travel!
