“Maura was a wonderful house/animal sitter. She gave us updates with pictures throughout our weeklong vacation & left our home in pristine condition. It’s always hard to leave your “babies” behind but having Maura there really gave us a sense of relief. We would highly recommend her and have already booked with her again!”


“Love. Love. Love. Ashley was amazing from the very beginning. From the initial meet and greet I knew she was going to be ‘the one’. We have two German shepherds that can be a little weird with their eccentricities and she was wonderful with them. I was sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend which were appreciated. Overall I have NO hesitations with recommending her. She’s wonderful!”


“Ella was amazing. She took my booking last minute and responded quickly. Ella showed up on time and seemed eager to meet our boys. You can tell Ella genuinely loves animals. Ella made us feel comfortable leaving the boys behind in her care. We came home to happy kids and the house just the way we left it. Ella kept in contact during her stay and sent us pictures and updates often. I would definitely book Ella again! Highly recommended!”


“Ben did such a great job! Even my shy and less friendly cats grew to like him and be out and about the house when he was here. He sent me daily updates and some great photos. Truly the most relaxed I’ve been on a vacation recently, knowing my cats and my house were in such good hands.”


About: • Adult and senior dogs or cats • Special needs (blind, diabetic, trouble walking)) • Quirky behaviors • Puppies that need lots of potty breaks are no problem I am 54, married, retired, and am available 24/7. When not pet-sitting, I care for three dogs at home, plus two sheep and two goats. I will keep your home in great condition, cleaning up after your pets and leaving no trace that I was there. I bring my own snacks!

“By far the best sitter we have ever had! We were in a pinch when we got scammed from another sitter, and we asked Meghan to watch our pups last minute for 9 days. She quickly accepted and came over the same day we contacted her. She was great with our home and our dogs…she sent daily updates, checked our mail, and even cleaned the house up a bit. Such a great sitter, we will always see if she is available first from now on! Thank you Meghan!!”

And now more recently I’ve started watching family and friends animals as well while they’re gone on short trips I love visiting them and playing with them when I get there! Im currently working part time so I plenty of time to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. During the week is more better for me but I am flexible to do weekends sometimes as well!

Thank you so much!!”


“Aliece did an amazing job with my two dogs (55lb and 75lb) for our week vacation. She was quick to respond from our initial contact and forward.

She sent us multiple daily updates and lots of photos to ensure we knew our babies were comfortable. She administered daily medications multiple times per day. She was flexible with work getting done around the house during her stay. She graciously helped troubleshoot when our AC went our briefly.

About: I focus on tailoring my care to each pet's unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved.

Communication with the pet owners is key, so I send updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured. :)
