“Laci was a fantastic choice to house sit for us while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of our dog and cat, and provided them with a lot of attention and love. She also took great care of our house (watered plants, brought in mail, etc.). I felt at ease all week because I knew that everything was going smoothly and that she was taking care of things. I appreciated her communication throughout the week as well. I will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we travel!”

“Allison watched our two dogs for a weekend while we were away on vacation. She shared frequent updates and pictures, and we were so excited to come home to two very happy pups! One of our dogs had a medical issue while we were away and needed a last-minute adjustment to his medications, and she was flexible and attentive to his needs. We are so appreciative of her and would highly recommend Allison to others!”

“Ryn was great with Watson. She spent a lot of time with him while we were away. He’s a needy dog and Ryn gave him lots of love. I would have her watch Watson any time again. I would heartily recommend Ryn as a dog sitter.”
“I cannot recommend Alexandria highly enough for her outstanding care of my dog, Topi. I needed help on very short notice, and Alexandria stepped in without hesitation. She was absolutely wonderful with Topi, showing great affection and attentiveness. Topi was happy and well-cared for during my absence, and it was such a relief to know she was in such capable hands. Thank you, Alexandria, for your exceptional care and kindness!”
“Amber was amazing! She stayed with our for babies while we were away on vacation. She did a great job watching them and giving them all of their medications. We would definitely use her again!”
“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!”
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.

“Corrine was amazing with both of my kitties! She was able to come over before I left to meet both of them and get a feel for where things were in my home. She sent me updates with pictures every day which was very reassuring that my kitties were in great hands! I highly recommend Corrine and will definitely be asking her to pet sit again in the future! ❤️”
