“Eko and Sarah were great! They responded right away to my request and during their house-sitting they communicated any questions clearly. Got lots of pictures of our pup from their walks and overnight. It brought us such peace of mind that such lovely and attentive people were caring for our dog while we were away! Will definitely book with them again!”


“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”


“Kayla took care of my two pups while we were away for a long weekend. She wasn’t fazed by my grumpy old guy…. She just rolled with his moods and communicated to us daily. Made it a bit easier to leave my babies home while we were away.”


“Dana was great with my two Rotties. I will definitely be using her again in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”


“Danielle was amazing! Our pets didn’t want us to come home! We have a doggy who needs extra attention and Danielle was so good with her. She gave amazing updates along the trip. Highly recommend!”



“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”


“Connor watched our two dogs in our home while we were away for the weekend. He did a great job! Our boys are hounds so they can be a handful but he not only watched them at our house, he took them out on two hikes! One of our boys also takes a few medications and Connor had no problem making sure he got his medications. He sent us pictures each day as well, which we always appreciate. I would definitely recommend Connor to anyone looking for a dog sitter or walker.”


“Amy took very good care of my two cats. She sends pictures to me everyday which is a blessing, knowing that the kitties are doing good. She is very responsive and easy to communicate. Would recommend to everyone in need a kitty friend.”


“Katie was absolutely great! Kept in contact, loved Daisy, followed through with all our contacts when there was a problem. She will care for your pet like they were her own! We are already booking another vacation with her!”


“Amanda was incredible! She sent a ton of photos of my dog and he absolutely loved her! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter, we couldn’t have had a better experience with her!”


“This is the second time we have asked Catherine to watch our dog and cat. And we would definitely ask her a third, fourth, fifth, and so on because she is wonderful caring for them! We had no worries being out of town and know that they are in good hands with Catherine. Anybody seeking Catherine's help to watch their pets will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!! - M&N”


“Derek was very responsive and very flexible with how short-notice our request was. Was willing to learn about cat asthma and how to handle it if an attack occurred, which we greatly appreciated as that was a major concern for us. Overall very chill and got some great photos!”


About: I’ve cared for many dogs of different ages and problems. I will take your dog for a walk. I have a good yard. I’m very reliable and trustworthy. I would be with your pet most of the day. Unless I have to run errands. The pet will have my apartment to roam. I generally only do one dog at a time except if they come as a pair. My yard is partially fenced. I would take your pet on on walks with the leashes. The dogs have free range of my apartment. Thanks!

“We are so thankful we found Carley! Our 3 boys absolutely love her, and she handles them all so well! We are always at ease knowing that the boys are well taken care of when we are away. Carley updates us with texts, pictures, and videos of the boys while we are away, and we are never left wondering how they are doing. Carley is extremely accommodating, trustworthy, and respectful. We could not recommend her enough!”


“Michelle was truly a lifesaver while I was away! She cared for my pets with so much love and attention it was clear from the updates and photos that they were comfortable and happy in her care. She followed all instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile to keep everything tidy. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I’m so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again!”



“Coco is 15 and has never been left with anyone but family. Circumstances changed and we needed help. Nicole has been a blessing to us. She has done many drop-in visits and just recently housesat while we were away on vacation. She very willingly did a few household tasks for us; taking in mail, watering plants, etc.. It was such a blessing going away and knowing Coco was in good hands!”


“Hannah took great care of our boys while we were away. She was an excellent house guest too. We got great feedback during the stay. She took the boys for some lovely walks. Would definitely have her sit for us again.”



About: Hi, I’ve owned all types of animals my entire life like dogs, cats, bunnies and birds. I currently work at a pet resort, where I look after pets every day, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or feeding time. I treat every animal like my own. I’m also well trained in giving medications or any type of special care! I know how important your pets are, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work at a pet resort where I work all types of hours, from Tuesday-Saturday. I can work anywhere from 6AM-6PM but I’m very flexible with fitting you and your pups into my schedule! Since I have so much experience with animals, I’m okay with helping out with almost anything you need for your pets! Whether it’s cleaning, potty breaks, playing, feeding, medications. I’d love to just spend some time with your pet and be their friend! I do not take pets to my home as I have reactive animals, but I’m always okay with commuting to yours!
