“We couldn’t be happier with the care Viktoryia and her family provided for our corgi, Emma. From the initial meet and greet, we knew Emma would be in great hands and treated like part of their family. It was wonderful to hear that she got along well with Coco and their daughter. Throughout Emma’s stay, Viktoryia kept us updated with adorable videos showing Emma happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Those updates gave us peace of mind and made our vacation even more enjoyable. Viktoryia is an exceptional sitter, and we would gladly have her watch our Emma again!”


“I am so grateful for Elisa and the amazing care she gave our dog! She’s reliable, kind, and clearly love animals. Our pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. We’d definitely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”


“Evelyn, made sure our Bo was comfortable with her and the space. She is affectionate and knowledgeable about dogs! She was very attentive to our Bo and I received video, pictures and notifications of walks, etc. I felt really at ease leaving him. She even gave us some home made dog treats to take home with us. We will definitely be using Evelyn again!”


“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”


“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”


“Sarah and Aaron made our little King Charles feel like the Princess she believes herself to be, and she was very happy during her 15-day stay with them. They sent regular updates showing her daily life, and they did a great job keeping up with her heart medication. Our Dani will stay with Aaron and Sarah again and again.”


“Faith is timely with her responses and has great communication. She sends updates and pics. Her schnauzer Levee is a sweet dog and got along well with my Bree. My dog Bree seemed to be very happy and comfortable during her time with Faith.”


“Yogi loved staying with Asya! She constantly sent photos and videos of my pup playing, on walks, and hanging out with her kids. They live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood that is great for walks. I will be calling Asya again in the future for more bookings!”


“Stephany watched our pup for a second time and was amazing. Our dog left so happy and tired. Stephany sent us regular updates and was super flexible with drop off and pick up. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her for a second time. Thank you!!”


About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner since childhood (5yrs old), I have a passion for providing exceptional care to our canine companions. With extensive experience in caring for dogs of all sizes, from Golden Retrievers and Labradors to Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, I am well-equipped to meet the unique needs of each furry friend. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of dog sitting for family and friends, and understand the importance of creating a warm and nurturing environment. My goal is to connect with your beloved pet and provide them with the enrichment and care they deserve. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, or simply a cozy place to rest, I am committed to ensuring they feel loved and at home. I look forward to meeting you and your special companion! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for both weekday & weekend overnight bookings. Either staying at your pets home. Or, welcoming your pet into my home (small & medium size dogs only please). Flexible with the stay length, ideally up to 1 week but I am open to longer. In my home, I offer an individualized environment without any other pets, have no personal pets. I am only accepting 1 pet at a time. Your companion will receive individual care and attention. If the dogs are siblings, I can accommodate up to 2. There are plenty of green spaces nearby for walks and playtime. I ensure that feeding, exercise and play sessions are done to your specifications. For overnight stays in my home, please provide enough food/treats and medication if applicable. If caring for pets in their own home, I will maintain their routine & environment to minimize stress. Whether, in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe and loving space where pets can thrive while their owners are away. I ask that you please provide me an orientation to your dog, that includes information on their feeding, potty, and medication schedule.


“Ashley is great! We had to go out of town for a week and Ashley watched our Miley girl, she loved her like her own and I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for Miley. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be using her again.”


“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”


“Vanessa, Is a greater care taker for dogs. She was great with our dad g LoLa a 7lb Maltese. They had a great time together and LoLa was happy and spunky after spending a week with Vanessa. She was easy to communicate and meet up with before during and after making the whole process seamless. I would highly recommend Vanessa for dog care taking to anyone seems like a genuine friend to the canine world!”


“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”



“Thelma and Gary are great pet sitters. I have been using Thelma and Gary for a couple years and my Allie goes happily to their home. She has become bffs with their dog. They have been very flexible in accommodating our travel plans and I never worry about her safety while in their care. I highly recommend them to take care of your pet. We will be moving across the state and I am very sad to be leaving them.”



“Lindsay is an awesome dog sitter. I had to leave the state for a couple of weeks and was perfectly comfortable having my “kid” at her house. It’s nice because she works out of her home and do you know about the dog isn’t love for long periods of time. I will definitely use her again !”


“Very responsive with booking, even with the short notice that we had. She sent multiple videos and pictures of Sophie throughout her stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her for the weekend and will definitely use Debbie again!”


About: I have taken care of pets and been around them since I was 5. My family and friends usually rely on me to watch over their pets when they are gone. I am currently in high school and I also play sports. I am free on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). I can most likely make my schedule a little more flexible if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a VERY friendly dog that will he keep your furry buddy company. I am also able to commute very easily.
