“Melissa was amazing! She came for a meet and greet and asked so many great questions, She sat down on the floor and gave our dogs some love too! We were immediately put at ease seeing how comfortable she was with them, we have a black lab and a corgi mix. She sent us picture and text updates and overall made our weekend at the beach so stress free knowing our dogs were in good hands!”
“Emily was excellent, efficient, and punctual! She did a great job taking care of our 3 fur babies and promptly communicated with us the entire time. She made us feel safe that our 3 little kids were going to be well taken care of. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future!”

“I needed a dog sitter overnight for 4 nights, I contacted Keira and we set up a day and time so Keira could meet my dog Marley. Keira was prompt and had a note pad and pen to take notes as I described a normal day for Marley and the insulin shots he required daily. Keira came to the house early as my flight was very early. Keira texted me daily regarding Marley, and sent a photo. Upon my return the house was just as I had left it. Keira went above and beyond taking great care of Marley while I was gone. I so appreciated it knowing that my dog would be taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Keira for dog walking os sitting as she was exceptional! And I will be using her in the future if available. Thank you Keira, you made my trip more enjoyable knowing that you were here taking good care of Marley!”

“Alyssa done a wonderful job with our 2 babies. This was the first time getting an over night sitter for 4 nights. We were very nervous doing this but she put our minds at ease immediately when meeting with her. She’s gentle, loving, and caring. She followed all requests as directed. My 2 dogs adjusted quickly to her as she has a gentle personality. I like to Thank her and hope to use her for future sitting. TY”

“Cassie was wonderful and I know we’ll be calling her again soon! She house sat for 2 days. Stella is older and has some health issues. Cassie followed all of our feeding and walking directions, and let us know how she was doing throughout the day, so I didn’t worry. It was nice to be able to relax and enjoy our short vacation!”

About: Hi, I’m Moesharlynn or Moe and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently in school for dental assisting. I dog sat over-night for my friend’s dog for a week and I helped take care of my aunts dog, taking him out for walks when they were away. I’m familiar with learning the routines of a new dog and I give communication to the owners—providing updates on the well-being of their pet and any concerns that may arise. If you have an active dog, I would love to run with them as I’m a fan of cardio! I’m currently in school full-time during the weekdays, so being able to dog sit during weekends and afterschool on weekdays works great in my schedule. I’m very flexible for the weekends though. I have a fenced backyard in which dogs can roam freely in. I live across from a park that I can take them on frequent walks to.
“Victoria arrived promptly and gave us continuous updates and pictures during her sit with Dexter. We would highly recommend Victoria to any other pet parents. We have already booked her for another visit!”
