“Kayla was the best dog sitter we could have asked for! She took care of our 18.5 yo dog with so much attention and understanding; Duke has some quirks and special needs, he was in such good hands with Kayla. We were in town for my brothers wedding, Kayla made our anxious dog felt at ease the moment he met her. She stayed with him for the whole time we were at wedding festivities, took him on walks in his stroller, hand fed him, took care of his medication, and we could tell Duke loved her!! We will definitely be asking Kayla to watch Duke next time we are in town. Thank you Kayla!!”


“She was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of her. Kept us up to date with pictures, eating and generally how her day went. I would highly recommend her.”


About: It’s not a job for me it’s what I love to do. I have experience with senior care and I always celebrate their birthdays and special occasions. Once I booked the pups I do all my errands weeks before so I’m ready for them to arrived. Once they’re home it’s all about them. At my house they’re care as one of my own. Potty and playing time is very fun in my yard even though we have no fence yet they’re all on a leash with plenty feet to run around.

“Joanna was everything we could've hoped for in an in-home sitter! For 8 days, she was so kind and gentle with our pets, flexible with our schedule, communicative at all times, sent us photos while we were gone, and administered medicine twice daily to one of our pets. She also handled emergencies like a pro. The night we left, a lightning storm knocked out our AC. It was a day and a half before we could get it repaired. She made sure our pets stayed hydrated and had plenty of fans to keep them cool until the AC was fixed. The day before we returned, an old smoke detector battery set off the fire alarm. Joanna let us know immediately and we were able to resolve the problem by phone. She played with our pets, who were shaken up by the unexpected noise, and calmed them down with toys and treats. The house was clean when we got home and our pets were brushed and obviously very well cared for. It felt like we left them with family the whole time. We will definitely be calling Joanna again for future sitting jobs. She's absolutely amazing!”


“Kayleigh came by to watch our dog Parker after he had surgery. She kept him company and also kept him from ripping his stitches open. Thanks to her we were able to go out that night without worry.”


“Shelby did a great job caring for our pup. She was very responsive to our communication and respectful of our property. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her in the future.”


“I hired Jennifer to stay with my sweet pup over a weekend, hes a little older and he loves being at home. he gets anxious at doggy daycares. She was outstanding, timely, very kind, they played and Snuggled. She took such good care of him. You know when you return from a trip and their energy tells you how their feeling and he was at ease. I highly recommend!”


“Thomas did a wonderful job with our lab. We felt she was in good hands and he stayed overnight with Willow and worked from our home during day so she had him to keep her company. We were very happy that Thomas did a meet and greet and took the time to get to know Willow. We will keep Thomas on our list to contact for future dog sitting needs.”


“Pawsitively Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! My first time having Jennifer care for our 3 large dogs and house sit, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding care my dogs received. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Jen exuded professionalism and genuine love for dogs from the moment we met. Her warm and caring demeanor immediately put all my dogs and me at ease, making it clear that they would be in good hands. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, from initial arrangements to daily updates on my dog's well-being. One aspect that truly stood out was the daily updates and photos provided by Jen. These thoughtful messages not only reassured me of my dog's happiness but also allowed me to feel connected to their experiences in my absence. Her attention to detail was impressive, she came over twice prior to our trip and took the time to learn about my dog's habits, preferences, and any special needs, taking notes about their care and routine. It was evident that they went above and beyond to make my dog feel comfortable and loved during my absence. It was evident that she treated my dogs as if they were part of her own family. Then our flight got delayed over 8 hours and upon advising Jennifer she immediately offered to stay longer, and come back again to check on them without any hesitation, I couldn't be more thankful and grateful for her going above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter. Her passion for animals, combined with their professionalism and attention to detail, makes her a standout choice for pet owners looking for top-notch care. I can confidently say that I will be booking Jen for all my future dog sitting needs, knowing that my boys will be in the best hands possible. Thank you for the fantastic experience!”


“Carol was so good with Sonny! She took pictures of him and sent us text messages every day to tell us how he was doing. That made us feel so good about leaving him in her care. She went above and beyond what she was asked to do ❤️”

“Connie did a great job caring for our dog while we were gone. She followed the instructions very well and kept me updated with how he was doing throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend her to do take care of your dog. She does a great job.”


“Corey was very attentive to Paige's needs, from feeding her on time, to walking her in the neighborhood, taking pictures a couple times during her stay. Paige loves to sleep with someone and enjoyed sleeping with Corey. The cost was reasonable and was worth the extra tail wiggles. We will definitely ask Corey back if the need arises.”


“Xaviera was a life saver when she house sat for us when we had to leave town last minute around Christmas time, and needed someone trustworthy to take care of our dog, Ginny. Xaviera made the trip to our house the day before she started to meet Ginny and see the place, and during the week she stayed at our house we got daily pics and clips. She treated Ginny very well (including a few Christmas presents...!) and we felt both our house and dog are in very good hands. We will definitely contact Xaviera again next time we need a sitter.”
