“Julia is very responsible and did a great job caring for Clancy. She was very attentive to his needs and wanting to understand and follow his schedule. She was very communicative and shared pictures a couple of times throughout the day. I’d gladly leave Clancy in her care again.”


“Nicholle did a six-night stay with our pups and the pups were so happy the entire time! She sent tons of photos every day which kept us super assured that everything was going well, and she had no issues following our (detailed 😅) pet care instructions. We hadn’t even gotten home yet by the time I already reached out and asked about her availability for another trip this summer, that’s how happy we were!”


“Nick and Heidi were so great with my large anxious dog! I could tell he was in good spirits and super relaxed with them for our 4 night house sitting. I got loads of updates and came back to a clean home and happy doggo! Would definitely recommend both of them take good care of your furry friend!”



“Once again, Margaret was amazing! This time around she also took care of a new foster puppy we got unexpectedly. He is a tripod and also has a bad back leg. His motility was very limited but Margaret handled it like a pro! She also stays at our place until our flight actually lands instead just sticking to a written schedule. That means so much to us because flights can be delayed. Thanks again, Margaret!”


About: I bring a calm and regulated presence to pets that need patience and people who need peace of mind while they work, relax or go on vacation! Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule. I prioritize quality time with animals and maintain a consistent schedule to support their routines and my own. I’ve been the behind the scenes human for our family dogs forever. Walks and meals. I’m used to the routine and show up with care and consistency.

“Sarah and Karl are the best!!!!! The daily pictures and updates provide so much peace of mind. They take such good care of Ellie and make her feel so loved.”

“Corrina was amazing! Booked last minute for an early morning and she showed up on time and jumped right in with Milo! Corrina was great at taking him on long walks and keeping me updated throughout the day. She even stayed a little longer when I needed. Will definitely rebook.”


“Mark has been phenomenal every time we have used him. Not only does he take great care of the house but I feel bad coming home because I know that I won’t take care of my dog as well as he did. He is great at communicating and you can tell that the dog loves spending time with him.”


“Samantha is amazing, she took great care of my pups! She took them on a mile+ walk everyday and they looked super happy in all the update pix she sent. My one pup needs eye drops and eye ointment and she was able to administer both. My pups absolutely love her!!”


“Mickie watched our 85 pound shepherd/pit mix while we were away for the week. She took great care of our pup and we felt very comfortable leaving him with Mickie and would love to have her watch him again if needed. Thank you!”


“Lauren was great staying with our puppy! She was very communicative throughout the entire booking process and even offered to come a day early to meet our puppy, which was a great gesture.”



“Sam was such a great sitter! He was really easy to communicate with, and followed all of my directions seamlessly. My dog had a few accidents after I left, she had a hard time adjusting to someone new. Sam was exceptional at communicating, cleaned up after her, and kept me updated on the situation. Sam was really respectful of my home, He left everything perfect. Sam is definitely the kind of professional you want watching over your fur baby! I will book with Sam again.”


“Daria was fantastic! Helped me out on very short notice, and did a wonderful job. Asked great questions, super organized and obviously in love with animals. She sent regular posts and updates. Wonderful knowing I left my dog in such good hands.Highly recommend!”


“MG was an excellent petsitter. She immediately bonded with our 13 week old puppy. We were so nervous to leave him for a trip we had planned but I knew he would be in good hands with MG. She sent us tons of photos and information to let us know how he is going. He wasn’t fully vaccinated yet but she even took him outside in his carrier backpack for a few outings! The house was also kept tidy when we returned. I’m sure our puppy will be happy the next time we need to go away and MG comes over!”


“I had a fantastic experience with Jude watching my dog for week while I was away for work! She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates with photos that showed my pup was happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. She followed his schedule perfectly, sticking to his feeding and walking routines. My home was spotless when I returned, and her kind and warm personality made me feel completely at ease while I was gone. She even let my dog snuggle with her, which I know he loved! I highly recommend her and would book her again without hesitation. Thank you, Jude, for everything!”


“Kenneth was amazing and super accommodating for mine and Buddy’s specific needs. He kept me up to date with pictures and walks with Buddy. Easy and smooth communication. Will definitely use again in the future. Thanks”


About: Hi! I'm Melissa, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a sweet little Yorkie. For the past six years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my sister’s pup, caring for him regularly while she’s away. I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care and take plenty of walking breaks throughout the day. Whether your pet needs cuddles, playtime, or a calm companion, I’m here to make them feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet — and I take that responsibility seriously, with lots of love (and belly rubs) to give! I work remotely from home and typically finish my workday by 2 PM, which means I have plenty of availability in the afternoons for walks, playtime, and check-ins. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pet consistent attention, especially during those mid-afternoon hours when they need a little extra exercise or company! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat them like part of the family. I follow any specific routines or instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, or making time for their favorite walk route or toy, I aim to keep things as familiar as possible. In my home, I provide a calm and pet-friendly environment where your dog can relax and feel secure. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give attention, potty breaks, and walks. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect the space and ensure everything is tidy, secure, and comfortable for your pet. Communication is also important to me — I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how your furry friend is doing!

“Brie took wonderful care of our energetic Labrador retriever and our place. She was a joy to communicate with and left everything neat as a pin. Took him to the dog park and understood his manic need to chase a ball. Will definitely ask her to house sit for Wylie again!”


“Jessica is attentive, kind, and thorough. She listened carefully and treated my sweet older dog with care. She communicates well and even wrote notes about her day with my dog so she wouldn’t forget anything. Will use her services again!”

Emma B.
“Emma has been an amazing pet sitter for me on several occasions. She has handled my 2 crazy Dalmatians several times - she's stayed in my home and taken care of my babies as if they were hers. She is extremely respectful, trusting and tidy. When I come back from a week-long trip, she leaves the home in perfect condition, she is very responsible. With regard to my pets, she takes amazing care of them. She is patient, even though they sometimes pull, and also loves long walks with them and playing fetch. They get very excited every time they see her. She is loving and caring. Emma is our absolute go-to for taking care of our babies when we're not home. We fully trust her with our precious girls and would recommend her a thousand times over.”
