“Lyndsey was an incredible sitter for Lincoln. It was his first time being with a sitter while I was out of town and Lyndsey really did everything to make it a comfortable experience for him. He was happy and exercised when I got home. My place was clean and tidy when I got back too. Thank you so much Lyndsey!”


“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”


“Ann was so great with Maycey, playing her favorite games, and giving her a lot of outdoor time so she could exert her energy! Great pictures too. I could see my girl was very happy 😊”


“Rachel was amazing with our old pup! She let us know how he did during the day, when he ate, and anything to follow up on when we returned. She was thoughtful and adapted to his quirks. Our house was well taken care of and we felt all was safe and sound while gone. She is truly caring and understanding with senior dogs.”


“I am so incredibly appreciative and happy with Laci's amazing care for my kitties. Laci was professional, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond. She sent updates, pictures, and videos daily for me which I was so thankful for. Laci's passion, love, and care for animals is so evident. What was most impressive of all was her ability to go above and beyond when it came to medicating my spicy senior kitty, Raina. She was able to brainstorm with me and provide her expertise in how to best go about administering the medication each day while I was gone. She also provided so much affection and love for my younger kitty, Gavin, who can be a handful for sure. :) Laci's care for my kitties allowed for me to fully enjoy my vacation with my family without worrying about anything back home. I will be booking with Laci for as many future trips as possible. Please do yourself a favor and do the same - you and your pets will be thankful you did!”


About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.

“Taylor was great at keeping us informed and loved the pictures she sent. Chloe enjoyed the walks during the nice weather. Will definitely use Taylor again if needed.”


“Megan could not have been more attentive, focused on the dogs' well being, and professional. I highly recommend her as she took great care of my two dogs, one of whom is blind and has special needs.”


“Joyce was absolutely outstanding with my pets!!! She treated them as if they were her own and gave me daily updates and photos of them!! 100% will be using her again to watch my dogs, she’s the sweetest!!”


“Max was overall a great sitter for our 2 pittys. He was responsive to messages and sent photos. He also watered the plants, took out the recycling, and the kitchen was cleaner than I left it. He went out of his way to be helpful and the dogs seemed well cared for while we were away! We already have him booked for another sit in May!”


“This is one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had… Her communications were amazing- she took tons of photos showed concern and questions when the dogs acted in a way she wasn’t sure… Just in general she treated them as if they were her own. She was a phenomenal sitter and I will definitely use her again!”


“Rebecca was amazing! She was so patient and calm with my little guy. It took a bit for him to warm up. She didn’t bat an eye at all my requests or learning how to walk a cat. 😁 She sent daily updates with pictures. Rebecca stayed overnight for a week and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than I left it. She even went the extra mile to stay a bit longer when my flight came in late and turned the lights on so I didn’t come home to a dark space. The little guy is happy, clean and healthy. I was able to really relax during vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. I will definitely ask Rebecca to come stay again the next time I go out of town.”


“Allison is absolutely awesome! She stayed over at our home with our two dogs and cat and everything went so well. The pets all just love her and it was easy to see from her messages and pictures that she took great care of our pets and our home. We all look forward to having Allison come again the next time a need arises!”


“Elizabeth was amazing. It's not easy going away worry-free on vacation, but she nailed it. I didn't leave her with any instructions and she handled everything flawlessly. Even exceeded expectations. Cannot recommend enough!”


“Amanda took wonderful care of our two dogs and house while we were away. She provided regular photos showing the dogs on a walk or playing and we could tell they felt comfortable despite it being the first time she sat for them. We look forward to having Amanda sitting for us again and recommend her to anyone needing someone to stay within their home.”


“Keely helped us enjoy our trip away from home without having to worry about our furballs while away. She was exceptionally easy to work with while showing great care for the animals.”


“Zach is a great Rover! We received frequent video/picture updates and felt like our dogs were in good hands. He is fantastic with communicating and we highly recommend him to anyone needing dog sitting!”
