“Lindsey has house sat for our dog and cat twice now. We always return to happy pets. :) She is responsible, courteous, and communicative. Usually our dog Penny takes several minutes to calm down when meeting someone new. When Penny met Lindsey, she calmed down almost immediately because of Lindsey's demeanor and experience with dog training. I would highly recommend her.”
“Josephine stayed at my house while I was away for a 7 day trip. The dogs were relaxed and comfortable when I returned which shows how happy they were while in her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Matt did a great job taking care of our pets. He was great about communicating when one pet became sick. The house was left clean and everything was in its place.”
About: I’ve always been around animals from a young age, many tend to gravitate towards me. Caring for them is something I’ve always loved to do. I work full time but I’m available anytime after 3:30 pm on weekdays and fully available on weekends as I get those off. I’ll have more availability during the summer months I will always provide timely bathroom breaks and ample amounts of exercise. I will also stick to any routine that you have your pets on.
“She was absolutely fantastic! Even though my dogs can be difficult sometimes, she worked fantastically with them and sent me pictures everyday. Made sure they were loved on and really attempted to make a great connection with them. I really couldn't ask for a better outcome considering this was my first time having a sitter of any kind with my 2 dogs. Would 100% recommend and I'm already using her again haha.”
“Katlynn was so great with our dogs. We added a puppy to our family last minute and she embraced it head on! Our dogs loved her and even watched her leave. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week! She should be your go-to-gal for this area!”
About: “I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention. I specialize in providing personalized care, including administering medications, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I treat every pet like my own!” I work all throughout the week and sometimes weekends ,but afternoons and evenings are almost guaranteed.i am very flexible and am very open to changes. “In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for pets with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and regular potty breaks. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to minimize stress and ensure they feel at home. In a client’s home, I provide attentive care by sticking to their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, keeping their environment clean, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. I respect your home and keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 6 years old but as an adult I’ve had my own for the last five years. I have a one and a half year old Labrador Retriever and a Six year old German Shepard Malinois mix. I make sure to take my dogs for walks at least once a day and we also go for weekly adventures. To me having dogs brings a whole new level of companionship to life. They are my whole world and having the opportunity to care for other peoples furry friends would be something that is so special to me! I currently am self employed so most of my day is spent at home working on my laptop! If your pupper follows a certain schedule I would be more than happy to make sure it is followed. I think it is extremely to maintain a pets routine! For my dogs we get up everyday around 7 and then I let take them outside to go potty, following that we eat breakfast, go for a walk, and then about every 2/3 hours I take them potty, then at night they eat dinner at 5:30, followed by either another walk. If there is a routine that your pet has I would be more than happy to make sure it is followed!

“Dino was wonderful with our dogs and communication with us. Having never had anyone stay overnight with our dogs, Dino helped put our mind at ease, updating us multiple times through the day with pictures and videos Our dogs had a blast and were very well taken care of. Dino was very polite, punctual and our dogs have a new friend. We will definitely look for Dino for any future visits!”
“An absolutely exceptional dog sitter! Our pup had an incredible time and received exceptional care. The frequent photo updates were delightful and highlighted the devoted attention and affection given to our furry friend. Organizing playtime for our pup with a furry companion was an absolute delight. Since our little girl adores playtime with other pups and is the only one at home, this was a special treat, especially with the weather getting colder. It truly brightened her day to have this social time. Our furry one returned home overwhelmingly happy and pleasantly exhausted from all the excitement. This experience was truly outstanding and highly recommended for anyone seeking top-tier care for their beloved pet! Additionally, the sitter accommodated our last-minute request and went above and beyond in ensuring our puppy's comfort, resulting in her increased happiness. We're undoubtedly returning clients; my little Autumn is thrilled, and that alone brings me immense joy. This woman is an absolute gem—professional, kind-hearted, and highly recommended! A solid 10/10!”
“Dekoda was very kind and pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond spending time with our animals. Our vacation was much more enjoyable knowing they were well taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Emily was fantastic with Arlo! She came and met him in advance, and was not deterred by his puppy excitement. She had great communication and the home was well kept for the stay! We look forward to now having such a trustworthy sitter for Arlo.”
About: I've been caring for a variety of animals my whole life and have owned cats and dogs my whole adult life. I've recently been given the honour and opportunity to raise my Rottweiler puppy. I have spent countless hours researching best practices and would love to help with exercising your puppy pal. I hike, walk, beach and do whatever you need for your four legged family. I've had experience administering medication and providing special needs. I am currently working part time and crafting but would love to be caring for animals full time eventually. I'm happy to work any day and transport pets to preferred walking and caring spaces. I prioritize quality enrichment. My walks with my own dog are very much for him. He's welcome to sniff as much as he wants. I am capable of following any and all direction about your dog to stay as close to the quality of your own care as possible and give your dog the best experiences I can.
“Tiassa was great, a real dog person! My dogs loved her & she devoted a lot of time to being with them. She also handled getting locked out of the house (my fault) like a champ.”
