“Ruth did a great job watching our pups over the holidays, through very cold weather and unseasonably warm weather. Our 16 yr old lab and our 4 yr old rat terrier enjoyed going for walks, and staying warm on the couch with her. Ruth managed meds and a mild upset tummy for our senior lab with no trouble. It was great to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away. I felt especially grateful that we were able to book her over Christmas and I will definitely try to book Ruth again.”
“Lauren took fantastic care of my dog (8 y/o pit-mix) while I was on vacation for 10 days! If you're looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend her! She was professional and communicative, leaving me confident my doggo was in good hands while I was away.”
“Brea was an excellent sitter. I have four pets with unique personalities and needs. She was attentive, thoughtful, and provided excellent care. I would absolutely not hesitate to book Brea again. I came home to happy pets, and a tidy house. Thank you, Brea!”
“Derya took care of my puppy very well! Kept me updated by sending me pictures. And he’s very thoughtful, I would definitely recommend Derya and book him again!”
“Leslie was amazing! She spent lots of time snuggling and taking our Odin for walks. Our house was spotless when we got home. We will definitely want to have Leslie sit for Odin again.”
“Sarah was a great sitter. She's very conscientious, being sure to let me know my hound had peed inside and then repeated this behavior. I appreciated her staying in contact trying to figure out what was best for him. The cats took to her which was no surprise. She is a pleasant and friendly person. I would ask her to sit again.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and I still do to this day. If you need any assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out! I have a pretty flexible schedule as I work from home most days of the week. I’d love to take your pup for a walk around the neighborhood! I have 2 cats and a puppy. I would treat any pet as if they were my own and make sure you’re happy and trusting that I’ll take care of them.
“Katherine was wonderful with my dogs and cat. Sent me pictures and spent time playing with them or petting them.”
“Jessie was great! She came over on short notice for a meet and greet (I believe it was the same day as the request). We have one sweet gentle giant, and one dog that's suspicious of everyone. Jessie was resourceful and even helped with training our troublemaker. I'm a nervous pet parent, so Jessie took lots of pictures and made me feel at ease while away from home. Very thankful for her help last minute!”
“Maya was amazing and will be my first pick for watching my animals from now on. Super professional, sent me updates, and I felt so at ease leaving my babies in her care. (Almost didn’t leave a review because I don’t want her to be too in demand!)”

“This is the third - and longest - time Lydia has cared for Remy and our home while we were away. Remy loves being with Lydia - and because we know the quality of care & attention she is giving "our guy" - we have been able to enjoy our time away without worrying. 😊 Wish I could double the number of stars in this review!”

“Olivia communicated very well during the week for watched my dachshund! She was very caring and got to know and learn all about my dog whom I should add is a special needs dog. She was prominent about caring for her the best she was able by learning how to relieve her bladder and when there was accidents she even washed and dried blankets when that wasn't asked. Definitely went above and beyond to care for my dog and I would 100% re book with her to watch her again!”

Leigh was amazing with our sweet Golden as well as looking after our old farmstead while enjoyed a week away. She took care of everything and communicated daily with photos. She even handled the Hurricane impacts on the house with care. We were so pleased with all She did for us. Our pup was well cared for and clean upon our return. Highly recommend her services.
Leigh was absolutely amazing. I came home to two very happy dogs, who were thrilled to show me the love and toys from their time spent with Leigh. The communication and photos were so nice to get. Additionally Leigh helped with some stuff around the house which I was having trouble attending to, so I guess I am trying to say that Leigh is superwoman and would be an amazing resource for your dogs or pets!!
