Nancy was wonderful. She filled in at the last minute because I had a cancellation, and her up-beat spirit helped me know she's perfect for Sadie. I really liked her. She and Sadie got along real well, and I will request her again when the opportunity presents itself. My home was perfect when we got back. Thank you for being you Nancy.

We are so grateful to have found Mariola! She took amazing care of our three dogs during our family trip. She made sure one of them got his medication every day, played with them, walked them, feed them and truly spoiled them with love and attention. Mariola stayed at our home and kept everything clean and organized. Every day, she sent us updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and reliable pet sitter!

Amanda was great and help me out in such short notice. I have two huskies who can be quite hyper sometimes, but she handled them well and they seem to really get along with her. Took great care of the house while we were away and I highly recommend her.

I have the cutest little fear aggressive rescue who really only wants to be with us….so it’s hard to find people who will watch her. Sandra had this little fearful girl lying on the couch with her in less than 24 hours. She kept us up to date on how she was doing our entire trip. It was such a relief to find Sandra. We never worried about Mila or anything at home while Sandra was there.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Sarah stayed in our home for 5 days and took wonderful care of our dogs and our house. She walked them every day, played with them in the backyard, and followed all of our recommendations. Communication was great and she sent us daily updates and pictures. When we came back, our dogs were happy, relaxed and well cared for. Also our home was in great condition. We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely trust her with our pups again!

About: As a dog handler with three years of experience, I've worked with a diverse range of breeds, from large dogs to small ones. My responsibilities included performing nail trims and bathing, ensuring each dog was comfortable and well-cared for during grooming sessions. I developed strong handling skills and a keen understanding of canine behavior, allowing me to create a positive experience for both the dogs and their owners. I’m currently working full-time, but I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 3 PM. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, care, and playtime while you’re away! I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I follow any specific instructions the owner provides, keep the space clean and safe, and make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their humans are away.

Jennifer stayed with our Lab mix Hazel for the last week and we were so happy with how things went! Hazel got lots of walks, play time, snuggles and love! She stayed in touch with us several times a day and sent pictures?. Not only did Jennifer take wonderful care of Hazel, but also took care of the mail, garbage, and pet hair - it all made our trip that much more enjoyable! We can’t wait for Jennifer to come back for our next trip!

Lynnette was amazing with my two fur babies, Joy and Biscuit! She gave them so much love and attention, and I could tell they felt really comfortable with her. She kept me updated while I was away, but also respected my time, which I really appreciated. She even made sure they got their walks in, and they were so happy and content when I returned. My sweet Joy can be a bit of a nervous nelly, but she did wonderfully with Lynnette—it gave me such peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter who will treat your pets like her own!

About: I stand out because I’m not just a sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover and dedicated dog mom who has grown up with both dogs and cats. I’ve put in extensive training with my own pup, giving me the patience, intuition, and hands‑on skills to care for every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working part time (typically 4AM-8AM and then every other weekend) and I am in school part time. My school days are short and Pet care fits beautifully into my weekly routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy making time for. I work early mornings in a healthcare setting from 4AM–8AM, and I’m in nursing school part‑time, which leaves me plenty of daytime and evening availability to give pets the attention they deserve. Even with a busy schedule, being a dog mom has taught me how to balance responsibility with love, and I’ve always made space for animals in my life. Whether it’s my own pup or a cat I’m looking after for a friend, spending time with pets is one of the most grounding and joyful parts of my week.

Balbina was fantastic! My dogs loved her. She was attentive, caring and loving to them. She stayed in our home and cleaned up after them so nice! One of our dogs is a puppy , so you know there are puppy accidents and she took care of any issues he might have had inside. She was so great with communication while we were gone! I am so happy we connected with her and will definitely use again!!

Sarah was an exceptional dog sitter while we traveled to Rome. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and communicative, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and cared for our dogs as if they were her own, attentive, loving, and dependable. We felt extremely comfortable knowing our home and our dogs were in such great hands. We would absolutely trust Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. 🐾✈️

Nancy did a fantastic job caring for my dog and cat while my wife and I were out of town for a couple of days. She treated our boys like her own pets and made sure she understood all of their care details during our meet and greet. She's very communicative and sent us plenty of updates with photos while we were away. And, she was a great guest while she stayed at our home. I'll definitely be requesting Nancy to care for our pets in the future!

We’ve worked with Mariola several times now, and she continues to be an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She stepped in on very short notice for our trip from November 6th–13th and took amazing care of our pups. She kept us updated with photos and great communication throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home after midnight to a clean house and even a freshly made bed — such a thoughtful touch. We’re so grateful for her reliability and kindness, and we highly recommend her!

Corrin was awesome and we highly recommend her. She cared for our 4 furry loved ones at our home and overnight. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. She took wonderful care of them all. We have a senior pet that is blind & deaf and she was extra kind and gentle with her. We have a 2 year old as well who is a bundle of energy and Corrin took her for walks. We felt very confident and grateful to have our pets in her care.
