“Brittany took excellent care of our dogs. Upon return, the house was neat and cleaned up. One of our dogs loved her so much, he was visibly disappointed when we returned...😆 We will be using her again!”

“Sean was wonderful! He genuinely cares about animals, sent thoughtful updates throughout, and followed every instruction perfectly. I came home to a happy, relaxed pet. Highly recommend, and will absolutely book again!”


“Grace was amazing. She was very accommodating of all mine and Zico’s needs. She was very responsive with question and updates. Zico was happy pup when I came back.”

“Omg we absolutely loved Mrs.Martha she is such a sweetheart and her love for animals is what amazes us! She checked in with our fur baby almost 4x a day and kept us updated during check in’s, our fur baby loves her as well. I was excited to know we could trust her with our home and fur baby we felt a swift of relief because she is sooooo genuine! The experience itself is most definitely a 100000/10 and we will be booking Mrs.Martha again :)”

“Kathleen was amazing! She was responsive and sent pics/updates everyday! Our house was cleaner when we got back than when we left. And most importantly squirt loved her!! She seemed like she hardly even missed us she loved Kathleen so much!!”
“I entrusted Ami with my fur babies while my husband and I went out of town for a few days and she was wonderful!! Ami took great care of my babies and sent me updates throughout her stay at our home with them. I would have her watch them again and again if the need arises she is absolutely fantastic and very sweet! She went above and beyond while she stayed and my house was exactly as we left it. Ami was even kind enough to bring in our trash bins once trash was picked up. Thank you again Ami I know I left them in good hands and it made my time away so much less stressful knowing they had you to keep them company 😊”

“Savanah was wonderful! She took time to get to know our babies personalities! She made sure they were well cared for. We appreciated her updates including that they were running out of food in a timely manner! Our babies mean the world to us and we are so happy they were treated well!”


“Our experience with Amy was the least stressful house/petting sitting experience I've ever had. Within 5 minutes of talking to her (maybe less), I knew I could trust her to treat our four-legged kiddos like she would her own pets. Amy has a very calming presence and I think the animals could sense that. She asked a ton of thoughtful questions at our Meet & Greet and I could tell that she wanted to keep as much consistency and normalcy for our pets as possible while we are gone. She gave perfect little updates a couple of times a day - just enough to remind us that they were being well taken care of and loved on. We will absolutely be booking again!”

“Jaymes was fantastic! His communication both before and during the stay was excellent - very clear and timely. He spent a lot of quality time with our two pups, kept them on their usual routine, and sent photos and videos frequently, letting us know our boys were doing well. We came home to two happy and relaxed dogs and a home that was well taken care of in our absence and just as we left it if not better. We will absolutely book with Jaymes (and Jude!) again!”

About: I have been dog sitting for friends, family, neighbors for years. I used to work at a doggy day-care. I can bathe and clean ears. I am a teacher so I have summers off. I love to be outside and go on walks. I have lots of free time to play with and check in on your dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a sweet female dog who loves to play. I also can keep a dog in the crate or in a separate room if needed.
“Elizabeth was verrry professional and living with my dog. We were gone for 5 days but I was at ease with her keeping Sully happy. The best thing was that she told us where we stood with her having washed her own sheets and towels. Where the key was and garage door opener. She was top notch!”


About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student with hands on animal care experience and a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can fully trust, so I focus on providing attentive, dependable care while making sure your pet feels safe and loved! Whether its walks, playtimes, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as my own. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while creating a fun, calm, and caring experience for their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine and is something I prioritize and plan around. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends depending on the day. I’m able to accommodate regular visits, drop-ins, walks, and feeding schedules, and I make sure to build my commitments around each pet’s needs. I’m reliable with timing and communication, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are being checked on and cared for as planned. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any specific behavioral needs or preferences each pet has. I make sure doors are secured, litter boxes are clean, water is fresh, and the space is kept tidy and comfortable. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and giving them gentle attention and reassurance. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping everything clean and leaving things exactly as I found them. My goal is always to ensure both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while I’m there.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since i was a kid. At about 10 years old and I knew I wanted to do that for a living. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups or kitty’s. I have an open and flexible schedule. I only care for pets by what's best for the animal in any home. Pets in my home or my clients shall be taking care of with love and respect as if they were my own.
“Sophie was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my two dogs with her. She sent me updates and pictures so that I knew how they were doing, and that was super helpful. I would 100% trust my dogs in her care again!!”
“Arlinda was a pleasure. She took excellent care of Coco in our home and we struck up interesting and fun conversations before and after she was finished doggie sitting. Coco was calm and playful with Arlinda, and we will gladly use her again. We highly recommend her.”

Fantastic dog/cat and house sitter! Ami took great care of my dog and cat, kept me updated with plenty of pictures and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, the house was spotless! Their communication was excellent, and it was clear they genuinely cared about the pets. I would absolutely book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter.
Oliver watched our frenchie in our home during a long weekend. He was extremely communicative about how our pup was doing, sent photos, and followed our care instructions perfectly! Our dog loved hanging out with him. I highly recommend Oliver for any and all pet-sitting needs! We will be using him as our regular sitter from here on out :) thank you Oliver!!
