“Joy did a wonderful job with my pups while I was away for nearly 2weeks. Unexpectedly she had to take my one to the vet as we noticed something just the day before I had to leave. She kept me fully updated along the way and I felt a lot better knowing she would show the same amount of concern and care as I would. I received frequent updates and lots of pictures too! My dogs are definitely a handful and take a good amount of patience, so I really appreciate all that she does for me. I would definitely have Joy stay at my house any time I am in need of a kind hearted pet lover.”


“Brittany provided excellent care to our dog during the week she house sat for us. Our dog had to have emergency surgery a couple days before we left, and Brittany managed the post-surgery care needs very effectively, including managing multiple medications, a special diet, limited mobility, and the dreaded cone. Brittany was very easy to communicate with and provided regular updates and photos. We came home to a happy dog and a well cared for house and would definitely entrust our dog with Brittany again!”


“Maura was AMAZING!!!!!! We were gone for 11 nights and she treated our dogs like they were her own. She communicated and sent pics to keep us updated. I couldn’t have asked for more! She went above and beyond! Will be using her again!!!”

I will spend ample time time interacting with your pet as well as walking and feeding them I will follow your pet care schedule and be diligent about safety concerns.

About: My household has always been home to animals! From fish and guinea pigs to cats and dogs I’ve always treated all my pets with unconditional love. From a young age I would help friends and family with their animals and the past couple years I’ve been consistently pet sitting for a number of families. I’d love to add your pet to my circle of furry friends! I’m a college student that is 100% online so I have a lot of flexibility! I understand that some pets need a little more care than others! Not only will I give your pets the best care, I will make sure to respect your home - wether it’s stopping in to take your dogs on a quick walk or staying a few days while you’re gone! I currently have a dog and two cats in the home I live in, so things like walks, scheduled feeding times, allergy meds, and lots of treats are no strangers to me.

“Lauren was awesome! She came over to meet my dogs before sitting which was great for them to get to know her. She was super responsive and timely! Can’t wait to use her again :)”


“Hadleigh was an outstanding sitter!!! We’ve never left our 3 dogs with anyone outside the family, so we were understandably worried, but once Hadleigh met our pups, they took right to her and our worries went right away! She took great care of them, just like they were her own. She made sure to ask any questions that we didn’t cover ahead of time and stayed in touch regularly. She even stayed later than the arranged time on the last day when an emergency popped up. We highly recommend Hadleigh. Your babies will be in great hands! Thank you, Hadleigh!!!”

About: My family has always had a pack of dogs, varying sizes and breeds. I began walking them when I was 5. We have owned 5 Newfoundlands throughout the years so I am plenty comfortable with XL breeds. Do not be discouraged by my small size! Since many of my dogs have been rescues, I have experience with reactive, anxious dogs and medication administration. Most of my dog sitting experience also included horse farm care, with 50+ horses to care for alongside their dogs and cats. Being pregnant now, I am looking to help walk and check in on your pets while you’re away! I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets so I give my best efforts as if they are my own!
