Ashley is awesome. Very down to earth and easy to talk to, she made sure our pups felt at home while we were in town for a wedding. She was an excellent communicator about dog updates and was so easy to work with!

Wonderful experience with Maryann! She was reliable and communicative and thorough and sweet. I loved her notes on each visit and the photos were perfection! Our girls were very comfortable with her right away and clearly enjoyed her visits, which made our trip more enjoyable and relaxing for us as well. 10/10, would book again!

Words can’t express how wonderful Liana was while watching my cat, Finnian, while we were away! Each update (and pictures) she provided truly showed how comfortable, safe, and happy my cat was with her. Liana is so kind and easy to communicate with, paid so much attention to what my cat liked (treats, toys, pets, etc). I felt totally at ease while away knowing he was SO well taken care of. I would love to utilize Liana again the next time we go away—she is wonderful!

Carse was amazing and we will absolutely be using her again. She was communicative, prompt, followed up with us daily and kept us up to speed on everything that was happening while we were away. Our cat Doug can be a little spicy with new people and Carse was so good he looked more relaxed hanging with her than he does with us half the time. 5/5

About: I grew up in a family that loved dogs of all kinds! Since I was a child I’ve walked, played, and cared for dogs. Currently I’m a dog mom to two big labs who I’ve had since they were puppies and have trained me well on how to take good care of furry friends. I would love to walk or sit for your pet! I’m skilled with walking excitable dogs, handling reactive dogs, giving meds, and caring for puppies. I can’t wait to play with your furry friend! I’m available for walks/check ins before early weekday mornings and Monday-Thursday after 4:30 pm. Im also free Friday afternoons for walks and check ins. I’m available for all services Friday evenings through the weekend! My weekday schedule fluctuates so I often have more flexibility in my days! I would love to chat about what you need and will do my best to make it work! I treat my dogs like family and will do the same for yours, while also respecting your rules! I’m used to giving my dogs lots of treats for good behavior and having dogs on furniture.

Nicole was amazing! We received daily updates and photos with each visit which put our mind as ease while we were away from our cat Moe. She utilized our suggestions for his toys and made playtime a priority. After returning from our trip, Moe was relaxed, calm, and happy to see us. Moe really took to Nicole and became good friends. We hope to continue to utilize Nicole’s services for Moe and would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for the best care for their furry friends. Thanks Nicole!!

Julia is amazing! I needed someone to watch my babies last minute on a holiday weekend. When everyone was booked up. But Julia then I found Julia. She came over to meet them before we left. So she could see what the routine was. She came over on time everyday, sent pictures, and make sure they were well taken care off. If you need someone reliable to watch your pups, hire her!! All the stars and thank you again!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since 10 and had foster dogs for the past year. I am very familiar with their habits and have a blog recording all the dogs I’ve met on the street including their names and personalities so I could recognize them the next time we met. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, feeding, playtime, and exercise. I can also guarantee at least two one-hour outdoor walks each day, ensuring pets stay active, engaged, and well cared for. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment for every pet in my care. My home has enough dedicated space to accommodate a crate for dogs up to 100 lbs if needed. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I closely follow their routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I am attentive, confident handling dogs of different sizes, and committed to science-based pet care practices that prioritize both physical and emotional well-being. Building trust with pets and their owners is extremely important to me, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

Stephanie was amazing!!! Her updates were super sweet and informative, and they really gave us peace of mind. She was able to pill our younger cat twice a day, which is super difficult (she's a black cat, and thus great at hide and seek) and she even charmed our grouchy old man cat. Great attention to detail and communication throughout. Would enthusiastically recommend :)

Aidan was very kind and did a good job with my cat who can be on the shy side with new people! They were also very easy to communicate with and fairly quick to answer any messages. I do wish I had received a few more photos during the span of visits, but I also recognize it can be quite the task with crafty, hiding cats sometimes!

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs and others dogs since I was around 7 I’ve loved dogs my whole life and love caring for them! I was in a specialized hands-on vet program during all 4 years of high school that taught me medically how to care for a dog and how to simply just care for a dog properly at home. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and breeds, my parents own a German Shepherd, a dachshund, and a lab so I have experience with all different sizes and breeds of dogs! I currently have open availability for most weekdays and weekends. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I am super cautious of my own animals at home and am quite typically the same with other peoples animals depending on how friendly the dog is with other people.

About: I’ve been walking and pet sitting for about 3 years. I am in my zone when I am around pets. I’m very patient and pay attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra comfort. I make sure they stay on their routine with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I always keep their environment clean and safe. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently offer dog walking and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine for walks, exercise, and quick check-ins. I’m reliable and make sure your dog gets the time, attention, and movement they need. I always put your dog’s safety first during walks. I stay aware of our surroundings, keep a secure leash, and follow your instructions so your dog feels comfortable and safe the whole time.

Emily is SO fabulous with my senior retired service dog Miss Lana! She is a big girl and has arthritis, but Emily knows how to help us, and even when Lana has some accidents indoors (I mean she is 15!! lol) she was so kind and cleaned up as well. She is an excellent communicator too, and takes lots of good doggy pictures for this mom who misses her girl!! Thank you Emily 💗🤩
