Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.

Ozzy was amazing! They stayed at our house and watched our golden retriever Scotch and cat Persephone while we were away for the Thanksgiving holiday. They sent us pictures & video of our fur babies and kept us updated on how they were doing. It’s important to us to have our pet sitters stay in our home while we are away, our animals get stressed in new environments, and Ozzy was so great! Our animals need alllll the attention, and Ozzy did not disappoint! They came over a week before to meet our Scotch & Percy and learn about the house. They even left a card for when we got home! Ozzy is fantastic, our animals loved them and we will definitely use them in the future when we go away. Thank you Ozzy!

Olivia did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away, including administering a lengthy list of meds. I wasn’t worried about my dog at all while I was gone. Olivia stayed in constant communication and evident my dog was having a great time from the pictures she sent.

Ashleigh did a great job with watching my senior doggie. She picked up after herself and did more than asked for in regards to taking my dog on walks during her weekend stay with him. Definitely would use her as a sitter again!

Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!

Haylea stayed with our 13 year old dog for 5 nights. Since we are both retired, it was especially important to us that our dog have a lot of company as she is used to our being home. A big plus is Haylea works from home 4 of 5 days a week and was able to be with our dog a lot. Haylea texted photos and kept us up to date on how our fur baby was doing. Highly recommend her!

About: Ever since I was four years old I had my first puppy. I loved her with everything I had, I believe that love me and my family gave her made her have such a long life. She was a Pomeranian and chiwawa mix, she was said to live till 6 she lived till 15. I have also rescued each of my pets so I understand how to handle and gain trust from anxiety and scared dogs. I also have experience with puppies so I expect to have to clean messes and I am fine with that. I am 100% a dog person. I want dogs to be living their best lives and give them as much love as they give us. I handle stressful and intense situations well, I am good under pressure. I love all dogs little chiwawas to huge great danes, no pup phases me. I am also felxible! I currently work from home which makes dog care easily in my schedule. I have a dog in my apartment named Elton and I go by his schedule. We go on both a walk and to the park everyday. In home I like to keep my dog busy with toys and running around. When he needs outside time I will bring him on walks or to the park. I know of both a park with no dogs for those who prefer alone time and parks with kind dogs for those who like to play.

Ashley is wonderful with Lola. I’ve already booked her for two additional weekends because I know that my dog will get the care and attention she’s used to, and I will get updates that put my mind at ease while I’m away.
