“This was my first time leaving for 10 days on vacation and leaving my dog. She would usually stay with a relative and only over a weekend. I checked out boarding, but couldn't bare to leave her in a kennel for 10 days. That's when I booked Jennifer. All I can say is that Jennifer is a life saver. I was nervous as could be and when we met her and Hector we booked that night. They put us at ease and our Lily loved them as soon as they walked in. Al I can say is that Jennifer made our vacation so much easier and comfortable since I was a wreck leaving her. We got several daily pictures and updates on how she was doing throughout the day. Just constant correspondence and Lily looked so happy and safe in her own environment. Lily enjoyed her time with them and they were totally attentive to her and her needs as well mine as a first time doggy mommy! All I can say is Thank You!!!!! I most definitely will be using Jennifer in the future. Lily already misses her.”


“Debra was wonderful!! Debra moved in and sat for us and our 2 little fur babies. She took wonderful care of them, complete with baths. Gave medicine as needed. Plus received pictures each day. We felt completely comfortable leaving our house and 2 little dogs in her care. We will use her again when needed. Highly recommend.”


“Jennifer is always great with our Cru and I feel at ease knowing he's in good hands with her while we're out of town. We love that we've finally found a dependable sitter that understands his Boxer energy like we do. We love having Jennifer as our fur baby's sitter, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Lisa, Dave, and Cru ☺️🐾”


“Connie did a great job caring for our dog while we were gone. She followed the instructions very well and kept me updated with how he was doing throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend her to do take care of your dog. She does a great job.”


“Brittany is our new fairy dog mother! She has dog sit for us a few times now and has been very trustworthy & reliable. We are thankful to be able to leave and know our doggies are in good hands. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a baby. My family has always had a dog in the home. We have had a Boarder Collie, German Shepherds, Labs and mixed pups. I have always been very loving with my pets and have always trained them to not be loud except in dangerous situations. I love to just spend time, walk, and play catch with dogs. Right now we are super busy with sports and school but I stay at home so I’m available most of the time. I am available during the weekends and will be able to have a dog at our home or can come to your home. Whatever makes your dog happiest! I have a huge fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around and play. I do spray for bugs and ants so that isn’t an issue. I do have lizards that our puppies love to chase. I do have a pond in our backyard but we have a fence. The dogs like to watch the birds and bunnies. I do pick up doggy duties right after so don’t worry about your buddy trying to eat others. I know some dogs do that. YUCK! I do have older children that love all pets, however I will always be 100% responsible your pets.

“Shelby did a great job caring for our pup. She was very responsive to our communication and respectful of our property. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her in the future.”


About: I have had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I have always taken care of my family's and friend's pets when they travel both cat and dogs, staying at their house or bringing their pet to my home. I had taken care of feeding and walking but I also had a cat who was diabetic, and I was able to manage his blood sugar and daily insulin injection for many years (that cat was mine). I have experience with young dogs, adult dogs and senior dogs more than puppies, but I have done some training of puppies my dad has had over the years I do work Monday through Friday 9-4 but work from home with frequent breaks and my teenager does online school so there is always someone home with few exceptions (when she has dance and I take her and pick up but only gone for about 30 min several times a week. I am free on weekends, so plenty of time to give your fur baby as much attention as needed. I live in an apartment, but we have a dog park area on property which allows space to run. I am also open to taking to the park or long walk if that is preferred I always ask the dog or cats routine at home, so I can ensure that I am duplicating that in my own home. So, I typically follow their routine from walks to feeding schedule including administering any medications and/or supplements. My dad's dog would get very scared of thunderstorms so during summer, I would have to be mindful of pending weather to ensure that she was given medication at right time

“Alex was great and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He was responsive, kept me updated, and the dogs were always happy around him. I would highly recommend Alex for any dog sitting/walking service!”

About: My day job is to care for people and my new job will be to care for your fur-baby! Ever since I can remember, I have loved being around and caring for animals. I know no greater joy and it would be my absolute pleasure to be of service and take care of your baby as if he/she were my own! I am reliable, consistent, and loving. I work from home 6.5 days out of the week! I’m available morning and night and most afternoons as well.

“Very good sitter. Very professional, the gals loved him. Very responsive, accommodating, supportive, he is by far the best I've had so far. He sent pictures, did extra things, etc! Will definitely book with him with ALL our future trips.”


“Rhiannon and Alex are fantastic! I needed someone on short notice since another sitter canceled and I'm so glad! The communication was great from the very start. We set up a zoom meet and great went over the instructions for vega's care. We weren't here when they arrived but they texted as soon as they were in the house. I sent some videos of me talking to the cat which they played. Getting a slow blink! Photos aplenty came all the time showing a happy, engaged, eating, and peacefully napping kitty in all her normal spots! No hiding! I was a little worried since vega needs meds but they administered this with no problems at all. They left the house cleaned up with the trash taken out which was super sweet. In sum, my very senior cat was very well taken care of and had lots of attention. I can't highly recommended them enough! Next time we go away, I will definitely see if they are available and I hope they feel the same”
