“Ona was a wonderful house sitter! I came home to a happy cat and my house was as clean as I left it. She was easy to communicate with, and took time out of her day for a meet-and-greet before I left. She also sent me pictures of Cecil while I was away, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Ona and will gladly rebook with her in the future.”
“Emily was wonderful, great communication, took great care of the animals, including giving meds, and left the house exactly as we left it. Would love to book her again in the future!”
“Gracelynn was perfect. Was on time, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and when we returned the dogs were very happy, always a sure sign they were well cared for. House was in perfect order as well. Oh and puppy is still being housetrained by Gracelynn made it 2 days without an accident. Hurray!”
“Nikole was awesome! She kept me updated everyday about how Bella was doing and even checked in before an unexpected thunder storm to make sure there weren’t any extra precautions that needed to be taken to keep Bella calm. Would definitely recommend Nikole and will be using her again!”

One of our dogs had had surgery a few weeks prior and was on strict bed rest with several extra meds so I was a little nervous to be leaving her but Morgan did an awesome job and I could tell all the animals were so well taken care of.”
About: I have 14 years of pet care experience, starting at age 8 when I helped care for my family’s Shih Tzu. For the past 4 years, I’ve been the proud owner of my own dog, deepening my understanding of what it means to truly care for a pet. Over the years, I’ve gained experience in daily care routines like feeding, walking, and providing companionship, as well as administering medications when needed. While I don’t specialize in grooming or training, I offer a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where pets feel genuinely cared for. I will always treat your pet like they’re my own, because to me, pets are family. Since I work fully remote, my schedule is super flexible—perfect for giving your pet the time and attention they deserve! Here’s how I can help: Weekday Walks or Drop-In Visits: I’m available anytime Monday through Friday for walks or quick check-ins—just let me know what works best for you! Weekend Walks or Drop-In Visits: I’m free anytime on Saturdays and Sundays, so we can plan around what works best for you and your pup. Boarding: I’m available to board your dog any day of the week, including weekends, thanks to my flexible work-from-home schedule. Whether it’s a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pet will get consistent care, attention, and lots of love while you’re away. When pets stay with me, they’re welcomed into a spacious, clean, and pet-friendly home with two living rooms and plenty of space to roam, play, or just relax. I also have a nice-sized lawn for outdoor time, and I live at the end of a quiet, dead-end street in a peaceful neighborhood—perfect for calm walks and a stress-free stay. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle time. Since I work remotely, your pet will never be left alone for long and will get lots of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also a great communicator and love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and comfortable as possible. I stick to their usual routine—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or any special care instructions you provide. I always treat your home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while you're away. And just like when pets stay with me, I make sure to stay in touch with regular updates and photos. I know how important peace of mind is, and I’m always happy to communicate clearly and promptly so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Everything seemed to have gone well. Whitney met us in person before sitting for Marlin and came again the day prior to make sure she had all the information needed and to get a lay of the land. She sent photos of marlin. Although we did not set expectations prior, in the future we would like more frequent updates. We would hire her again.”

Makaila M.
“Makaila has watched my Dog and cats for over 6 years. I always knew when I went out of town that they were in great hands. She made sure my Aussie (Becky) who was a senior dog of 15 had her meds when needed and gave her plenty of love. My animals adore her and have always felt comfortable with her around. She has even taken them to appointments when I was unable to. She treats every animal as if they were her own. I will always recommend her to anyone to watch over their animals when they are out of town.”

“Carolyn is a responsible, thoughtful, and overall caring individual who embodies every aspect wanted in a person to watch over one's furbabies! She currently cares for two lovable and energetic cats, who require a great amount of love and diligence, and I can personally say they are very content to have found their forever home. In addition to caring for her personal cats, Carolyn has experience raising and training young pups in her family home, and being granted the opportunity to care for exotics. Not only will you enjoy having your pets cared for by Carolyn, but you will request her service again for her attention to detail and her kind heart.”

Kyra will definitely be invited back to our home! She loved on our dogs and sent plenty of pictures and videos. Kyra makes communication smooth and easy. When there was a thunderstorm coming she thought to ask if the dogs would be reactive or needed anything special. She’s personable and friendly, too!
We would give Donna more stars if we could. We were out of town when our current sitter couldn’t complete her commitment. We were panicked and reached out to several providers. Donna was the first to respond and was at the house in less than an hour of our first contact. She was very flexible, reliable, and caring. She sent us regular pictures and videos of our pets, which definitely put us at ease. We would definitely love to work with her again and would recommend you do as well.
Brianna was such a wonderful dog sitter for Eddie! She was able to accommodate us on short notice and was great with communicating. We appreciated that she gave us updates so that we felt reassured while away. She was diligent with giving him his medications and he went on more walks than he does with us! Highly recommend!
Sean was great! We had her sit for our dog at our house for 3 days. She provided updates and was very responsive when we reached out to her. We were completely at ease during our trip and it was a relief not to have to worry about our dog while we were away. Definitely would use Sean again if we go away.
