Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Our dog was well cared for, and Logan was very understanding and accommodating when our travel plans changed and we needed to extend his stay. Highly recommend.

Kelcy stayed at our home with our 4 fur babies while we got married this weekend. We had a perfect weekend, and Kelcy was just amazing!! She sent pics of them over the stay, and knowing they were in good hands gave us so much peace of mind during our big weekend. I would absolutely recommend her for your dog sitting needs! Thanks again, Kelcy!!!!

About: I’m a reliable and active pet sitter who enjoys spending time with animals and keeping them engaged. I’m consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and personality. Whether your dog needs exercise or your pet just needs company and care, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take pride in being responsible, communicative, and treating every pet like it’s my own. I have a flexible schedule and can consistently make time for pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, including weekends. Being active, I enjoy spending time outside with dogs, but I also make sure all pets get the attention, routine, and care they need to stay comfortable and happy. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific care details. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment and never left unattended in unsafe situations. I pay attention to behavior and keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: Pet lover with many years of experience in caring for dogs and cats. Since childhood, I have been surrounded by animals, and my love for them has only grown over the years. My life would be incomplete without these faithful and loving friends. I organize regular and varied walks, taking into account the needs of each dog. I know how to control the dog on a leash and ensure safety during walks. I like to see my dogs enjoy time outdoors and socialize with other animals. My goal is to provide my pets with the best care and quality of life. I strive to create a loving and supportive environment for them, where they can be happy, healthy and active. My love for animals inspires me every day, and I am ready to share my experience and knowledge with those who also care about their four-legged friends. I understand that each of us has moments when we need to go somewhere or just don't have enough time for a full walk with a pet. At such moments, I am always ready to help. My doors are open at any time, and I will be happy to walk your dog, providing it with the necessary physical activity and care. Pet lover with many years of experience in caring for dogs and cats.

Left her with two “in the works” potty training puppies and one of them just had surgery on her stomach and was still in a cone and stitches. Kayla did great. The girls were happy and clean when we came home. The house was cleaner than what we left it. The dogs’ bowls were in the dishwasher, towels and bedding were in the washer and dryer. We received daily updates and photos of our babes. Would recommend and use her again! Thanks for the week!!

Alec has watched my 2 dogs twice when I've gone out of town and has been great! He kept me up to date with pics of the dogs and updates throughout the day. He maintained their regular walking schedule and even took my more energetic pup on extra walks. Both times I've come home to 2 happy dogs and I would definitely book him again in the future.

Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I genuinely love animals and have spent years around pets of all kinds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Caring for pets isn’t something I treat as a side task—it’s something I take seriously and personally. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, making sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, observant, and dependable, and I communicate clearly so owners always feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine now that I no longer work remotely. I have dedicated availability and flexibility to focus fully on pets throughout the day, allowing me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins without distractions. This schedule lets me be present, reliable, and responsive to each pet’s needs rather than fitting care around a work-from-home schedule. I care for pets with the same attention and respect whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home, always following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I stick to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and rest periods to keep pets comfortable and reduce stress. I keep their environment clean and safe, provide plenty of affection and supervision, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly address any concerns and keep owners informed.

He always sends photos throughout the visit which gives me further peace of mind while traveling that my fur babies are happy and being taken care of.

About: I’ve been a regular walker of a neighbor, consistently going 2-3 times per week. I have also house sat several times for those with more than one pet. I am currently a college student studying engineering, so when I’m not in class I’m often home doing homework. I also work about 3 days a week. I try to stick to the pet’s regular schedules so they don’t get overwhelmed by a new person or new routine. Above all I make sure they have everything they need.

Logan did a great job. He is very prompt, responsive and courteous from our meet and greet to the actual dog sitting. We came in from out of town and booked him to watch our little dog while we attended a funeral. She’s not the friendliest. He did a great job. If we are ever back in town we would hire him again. We highly recommend.

Van Nhi was a great dog and house sitter! She watched over our dog for 2 weeks and sent us photo updates daily. She went above and beyond by taking her on more than the number of walks we usually do and also taking her on hikes. Our dog can be shy but she quickly adjusted to Van Nhi. We will definitely book her again!
