John was fantastic! He was very attentive to the directions we gave him and made sure their routines were not disrupted. He also gave timely updates and has a knack for animal photography. John was also very responsive via text. Our dog and cat look forward to the next time my wife and I are out of town!

Not only did we come home to the pups happier than ever, but our home looked and smelled better than we left it! Would not hesitate to book her again!!!!

Kymberlee did a great job caring for Ralphie. We had some pleasant exchanges before the booking to nail down details. She sent pics and updates during her stay and left the house in good condition. Ralphie seemed happy upon our return and even looked for Kymberlee downstairs where she stayed on the day after she left! We would be grateful to have her sit for us again.

About: I’ve taken care of and been surrounded my dogs all my life. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pet and ensure I stick to their feed/walk routine I’m currently working a hybrid schedule so I have flexibility for sitting and dog walking. I’m also available on weekends and would be happy to dog sit at your home. Happy to follow your pup’s schedule for feeding and walking times! Also would love to offer a no pressure meet and greet. Will request emergency contact information as well

Cara was an amazing dog sitter! She stayed at my home for 6 days, took great care of my dog, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I could tell my pup was very comfortable with her in every photo she sent. I came back to a happy pup and a clean house. I’d absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!

Tiffany was an excellent house and pet sitter. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats so things can get a little chaotic but Tiffany handled everything no problem. She even gave our dog ear drops to handle an ear infection! Tiffany was communicative, friendly, and professional and left our apartment in perfect condition.

Trisha watched our two dogs for 10 days and things could not not have been smoother. She sent daily pics and videos, and the dogs were clearly having a ball with her. Despite our two very messy dogs, Trisha had the house spotless when we returned. We definitely hope to book her services again when we travel.

Macky took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog and three cats while my husband and I were away for eight days. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, asked questions when she needed to, quickly responded to questions, and was right on time for our meet and greet and the day her stay started. We hope Macky will keep taking care of our babies when we need someone!

Anna was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend. She sent regular communications and photos so I knew my pets were in good hands. Both of my pets require meds and she was able to easily handle that process at feeding time. On top of that, one of my pets had a medical episode during her stay (it happens, but was still unexpected) and while I know it was scary to witness she was able to help my dog through it and calmly communicate the series of events that led up to it so I could relay to my vet.

Karachi We are so grateful for the amazing care our little angel received. From the moment we arrived home, it was clear how much attention and love she had been given. The studio was spotless, the sheets had been washed, and everything was perfectly organized. These thoughtful details meant so much to us. Most importantly, we could tell that Gini was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during her stay. Thank you for treating her like family. She means the world to us, and we would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!
