“Leaving my dog behind on certain vacations is never fun, but leaving my dog with Kelsie means he is on vacation too. She is very nice and you can tell she genuinely cares, also her dog Finn is really sweet and playful. I am positive that she takes better care of my dog than I do, and I take great care of him. I would recommend her to anyone and I hope she is available again in the future...My only concern is that my dog Denver may end up wanting to live with her more than me!”

She made sure I received lots of updates and photos and I could tell that he was having a blast in all of them. I would recommend Sarah, her husband and their pups to anyone looking for an attentive sitter for their dog. :)”

“I can't say enough good things about Rachel! Leaving my fur baby, Lucy, was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but Rachel made it so much easier. She sent daily updates and pictures, so I could see Lucy’s sweet face and know she was in good hands. Rachel was incredibly attentive and caring, and it's clear she loves animals just as much as I do. When I picked Lucy up, she was beaming with joy and looked like she'd been well taken care of. I was so impressed with how Rachel had followed her routine and given her all the snuggles and love she needed. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Rachel, for making my trip so much less stressful and for being an amazing caregiver to my little girl!”

About: I’m a caring, patient, and dependable pet lover who treats every pet like family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other routines your pet is used to. I pay close attention to pets during walks and playtime, ensure they have fresh water, and keep their environment clean and secure. I’m happy to follow any special instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or behavioral preferences. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll gladly send updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way! ❤️🐶

About: We're a family of six—myself, my husband, our three kids, and our Great Dane, Indigo. We take only one booking at a time so your dog gets our undivided attention and care. Our home is never empty. My husband works from home daily, and our kids are lifelong dog lovers. Indigo is well-loved and spoiled, but she's truly longing for a playmate to chase around our fenced backyard. Mornings and evenings are for short, leisurely walks, while lunchtime calls for a longer jog. Being a mom of four—Indigo included—I bring patience, calm, and attentiveness to every pet I watch. I love sticking to their routine, learning their favorite toy, their favorite spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. My husband and I have shared our home with both big and small dogs over the years, so we're comfortable with any size, energy level, or personality. For stays longer than five days, we kindly ask that you bring their bed and an old shirt to help them feel right at home. Until we meet your four-legged family member, know that they'll be treated like one of our own. Morning walks, evening walks, and plenty of play in between. We follow your dog's routine so they feel right at home. Let us know what makes them happy. They'll have free run of our home and a warm spot to sleep at night. We've got a fenced yard and a park down the street. We do everything with them just like you would on a normal day.

This was the first time I’ve left my dog with anyone and I was super scared. The vibe I got from Kristin right off the bat was great and the fact that my dog was laying with her baby a day into a meeting meant so much the fact that she trusted her with her child meant so much Kristin is a sweetheart, and I definitely will ask her again to watch Lucy.

On her “first date” with Cheryl, our dog was comfortable right away, even though she’s often nervous when she’s away from us and meeting new people. Not only was Cheryl wonderful with our dog, she also was prompt and responsive in her communications with us. We will definitely call on Cheryl to dog sit again. Thank you, Cheryl!
