“Kitty was fantastic. Our original plans for dog sitting fell through at the last minute and Kitty accepted the job with less than 24 hours notice. She saved us! When she arrived at our home she walked into chaos and had, what I'm sure, felt like 1 million instructions thrown at her all at once. She just rolled with it all. She was wonderful with keeping us updated and sending pictures.”

“Another awesome experience with Mckenzie! Not only did she hang out with my pets for a few hours while we were busy, but she went above and beyond scooping the litter box and making sure everyone was happy before she left. So grateful to her for taking such great care of my fur babies and always sending me updates. Thankful to have such a great pet sitter.”

About: Growing up with a dog my whole life, I've picked up a lot when it comes to dog behavior, body language, and keeping to a routine, things you really can only learn from actually being around dogs. I'm patient, attentive, and take it seriously when someone trusts me with their pet. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure to follow each owner's instructions so their dog feels as comfortable as possible while they're away. Currently home for the summer from college, I have a flexible schedule working a part-time job with short hours. I am typically available most mornings and can adjust my schedule on a weekly basis to plan ahead for sitting jobs. I'm also happy to accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule allows. For dog walking, I keep your pup safe and engaged while sending updates along the way. For in-home sitting, I stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine so they stay comfortable. For drop-in visits, I make sure your dog gets the attention, care, and potty breaks they need so you can be away with peace of mind.
“Nyla and Poppy were well taken care of and enjoyed their overnights and daytime hangout with Carolina. Appreciated the updates and pictures on how they were doing throughout the trip.”

“Another great stay with Melissa. She spent a week with our sweet but quirky dog and we came home to a happy healthy dog and a clean house. Great communication throughout the week with lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”

“As previously, Kristina is very responsive, sends multiple pictures, provides timely updates, and plays inside and outside with our two standard poodles. We will definitely use her again.”

“Kristy was incredibly kind, communicative, and patient with our two cats and our dog. This was the first time she cared for them, and I didn’t feel nervous at all leaving Bailey and the cats in her care. She kept us updated, paid close attention to their individual needs, and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Kristy did an amazing job, and we would absolutely trust her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.”

“Christina is excellent. We were nervous about hiring someone outside of our friend/family circle to care for our two dogs and two cats. And for an extended period of time: 16 days. And during Christmas and New Years - Christina was amazing. She is responsible and caring and reliable. We were able to meet a couple times before the scheduled date to go over things and that helped not only provide her with the information to care for them but it also helped me feel comfortable to know she was willing to meet and took the responsibility seriously. My animals were all well cared for. They were happy and content when we got back even though they missed us. We are all so thankful for her care and attention and dedication to the job and our animals. Highly recommend.”

“Ava was a wonderful house sitter for our pup! We appreciated that she came by for a meet and greet and our dog Roma instantly was comfortable with her. She took great care of Roma and our place. We had some last minute changes with our timing needs and Ava was very accommodating. Very friendly and professional, we would highly recommend her!”

“If you give dogs treats after they go outside, they will be much more interested in doing so in the first place. Giving them beforehand is not a proper way to train a dog. Thank you for your help!!”

Olivia was amazing! My wife and I traveled abroad and we were able to vacation stress-free thanks to her. She is very flexible and ensured that our dog was extremely well taken care of. She gave daily updates, sent pictures, and responded promptly to all communication. She stayed in our home while we were gone and we came back to a clean house just the way we left it. My wife and I are very thankful we were able to take vacation and not have to worry at all about our dog! We will definitely be using her in the future and you should too!
