“Tim was great! My dogs can be particular about new people, but you can tell they were very comfortable with him. He communicated very well and spent great time with them. I will be using Tim again!”

“Ally was great! Teddy can definitely be a handful at times, but she managed well by looking after him. Jack usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but with Ally, he opened up so quickly it felt like they had known each other forever. Ally is reliable and trustworthy which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, she tidied up around the house and even offered to help with more before she left. I would highly recommend Ally to any and all pet owners.”

“She is the best!!! Took such good care of our kittens and gave them so much love 💗 she sent great pictures of them to use and gave daily updates. We felt great having her watch over them 🥰😻”


“Desdrianneja was an amazing sitter, especially for taking such a last minute booking. Holiday travel plans changed and we ended up not having someone available. She took our booking at the absolute last minute and didn’t even bat an eye. She was punctual on check-ins with our cats, and went out of her way to keep an eye on our shyer cat who likes to hide. She helped clean up litter boxes and trash on her way on and overall was a perfect fit. Would book again.”

“Kayla is a wonderful pet sitter. My older poodle girl is hesitant to meet people, but from the moment Lyla saw Kayla it was instant acceptance. She knew she could trust her. Kayla communicated with us often. She was responsible and loving towards Lyla. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Kayla. We appreciate the support you gave to Lyla and us.”


“Ellie was an excellent dog sitter. Very responsive, provided great updates and pictures, Koda is a very happy boy. I recommend Ellie and will definitely book again with her.”

“Ruth has been an amazing house and pet sitter for me and my two little pups! She's kind, conscientious and overall a fantastic person and perlt caretaker! I highly recommend Ruth for all of your house and pet sitting needs! 🫶🩷🐾”

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Kendall! She came over beforehand and met both of our dogs and was immediately beloved (even by our shy pup). She spent the whole day with them and made sure to update us periodically and send some pictures. We came home to a totally spotless house. Can’t wait until next time! Otto and Tex love her already!”

“I wish we had Dani in our lives much earlier! She is a dog whisperer and was very communicative with us while we were away. She sent pictures and videos of our fur baby and let us know how he was doing each day. We were really able to enjoy our vacation because we knew Louie was in good hands! She is loving with the animals and was respectful of our home! We couldn't ask for more and appreciate her service very much.”

“Farah was amazing with my 3 big dogs. She was actually able to walk them every day! They have big personalities but she did a great job keeping them calm. She also provided tons of updates so I always knew they were doing ok.”

“Marilyn was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. From the very beginning, she communicated exceptionally well, was incredibly organized, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I have a senior Chihuahua who requires a lot of patience, understanding, and personal space, and Marilyn took the time to learn his personality and understand what he was comfortable with rather than trying to rush the process. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and secure. She kept me updated, was attentive to his needs, and handled him with so much patience and kindness. Knowing he was with someone who respected his boundaries and took the time to earn his trust gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marilyn did an outstanding job, and I would absolutely book with her again.”


“Molly was very communicative and loving with my pup! She handled lots of medicines like a champ. I’m so grateful to Molly for looking after my girl while I was out of town.”

“Deanna was very kind to our little kitties while we were out of the state. Before we left, Juniper showed signs of an upper respiratory illness which required medication. Deanna was willing to learn how to administer the medicine at the proper time and dosage which eased our worries while we were gone. Being that it was our first trip away from our new cat, Silvan, we were happy to see lots of pictures of the cats getting along with each other. She was a considerate guest, cleaned up after herself before departing, and took the time to take our bins to the curb for the weekly trash pick-up. Overall we would recommend her to anyone in need of cat care in the area. Thanks, Deanna!”

“Jasmeen did a great job watching after my older dog and they clearly got along great! I returned to a happy and healthy dog and watered plants. I will definitely book again.”

“Jill takes great care of me when my parents are away. She plays with me all the time and let's me snuggle with her on the sofa. I am excited to see her when she comes to stay at our house! Can't wait to see her next. Sniffs and licks, Higgins”

“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! We were away for 17 days, which is a long time to leave our dogs and cat, but we felt completely at ease the entire trip. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed just how well our pets were being cared for. It was clear that our dogs and cat were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. In fact, they looked like they were on vacation themselves! Seeing them so relaxed and content made it easy for us to enjoy our time away without worrying. The communication, professionalism, and genuine care for our pets exceeded all expectations. We are incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them with our pets again. Highly recommend!”

“Lidia was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Throughout the stay, she provided updates, photos, and peace of mind, which meant so much to me. My pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. Lidia went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for your furry family member, I cannot recommend Lidia highly enough. I will definitely be booking with her again!”


About: Hi, pet parents! My name is Heather, and my goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm currently building pet sitting into my full-time career because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. I've grown up with all kinds of animals my entire life—from cats to dogs, to rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, fish, and even turtles. I have experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities, and I have a special place in my heart for those with special medical needs. One of the most rewarding experiences I've had was raising my own cat with wobbly cat syndrome from less than two weeks old and helping him learn to walk. I’ve also cared for a diabetic cat who required daily insulin injections, a cat who suffered from seizures, and another cat with asthma who receives inhaler treatments. So I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following medical routines carefully. I'm certified in Animal First Aid and Fear Free pet care. These certifications have taught me how to recognize signs of stress, respond appropriately in emergencies, and provide calm, low-stress handling that helps pets feel secure while their families are away. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or has special medical needs, I tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I pay close attention to details, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is for your pet to feel as comfortable as possible and for you to have complete peace of mind! During every booking, you can expect clear communication, regular photo updates, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I believe every animal deserves kindness, patience, and respect, and I look forward to treating your furry family members as if they were my own. I am planning to build pet sitting as a full-time business, which allows me to offer flexible availability throughout the week. I am generally available during morning, afternoon, and evening care windows. This helps ensure I can provide consistent care while maintaining a reliable routine for each pet. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I prioritize maintaining a stable schedule once bookings are confirmed. I’m also happy to discuss specific timing needs to make sure your pet receives care at the times they are most comfortable with. **House Sitting Includes:** • Overnight care in your home from 4:30pm-8:30am • Feeding and fresh water • Walks and playtime (if requested) • Medication administration • Litter box cleaning • Plenty of affection, enrichment, and companionship • Photo and message updates 2x daily (AM and PM) • Basic home care, including bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy **Drop-In Visits Include:** • Feeding and fresh water • Potty breaks or litter box cleaning • Playtime and companionship • Medication administration if needed • Photo and visit updates with each visit
“Daniela was amazing!! She took such good care of our crazy dogs, even with them throwing her curve balls like getting sick, and our house was well taken care of. She's very responsive, kept us updated and our dogs loved her. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her in the future!!”

Jayla was excellent with Patience. She was attentive and responsible. Patience had to take medication and due to that medicine, he had to relieve himself more than usual. Of course, this created more work for her. I really appreciated her diligence. I would definitely use her again in the future. Pat A.

Ruth did a fantastic job dog-sitting our two dogs and taking care of house while we were out of town for several days. She did a great job communicating and sending updates. We knew the dogs were in great hands. I would highly recommend her and will definitely look to have her stay at our home for future trip!

Ashlyn was so so amazing with all of our dogs! We loved having her stay for the in-house boarding. We were gone for a four day trip to CA. She was super tidy, and cleaned our house very well before she left. She sent us updates along with pictures and videos everyday, which we loved. It was so nice to come home to a nice clean home and happy pups! We will definitely be rebooking with her for our next trip, and highly recommend her care! 😊

Ashley was amazing! We needed someone to watch our puppy at the last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She kept us updated throughout his stay with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he was well cared for and in great hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Jasmeen is amazing and I strongly recommend! Was able to help me out last minute which is alway nice. She still made time to meet up beforehand and was super communicative everyday of watching Cody. My dog is also pretty shy/anxious, but he warmed up very quickly to her and I don’t doubt that wasn’t partly due to the way she was able to meet him where he was at and not rush him during the initial meeting. Again, she was such a great sitter!

I couldn’t recommend her more highly! She took such great care of my dog while I was away. He’s usually quite nervous around new people, but he took to her immediately, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout my trip. She sent plenty of updates and photos, so I always knew he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. She also treated my home with so much care. I came back to a spotless apartment, and she had even washed and changed the bed sheets, which was such a thoughtful touch after travelling. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of both my dog and my home.

We had an amazing experience with Dani and will definitely be booking with her again! Dani stayed in our apartment over the holiday weekend to look after our dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog can be anxious around new people, but she was so patient and clearly experienced with nervous dogs. She knew exactly how to approach him, and he warmed up to her almost immediately. When we got home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been very well cared for. She also took incredible care of our home. We came back to an apartment that was absolutely spotless—she even did the laundry and took out the trash, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pet and will treat your home with the same respect, I highly recommend booking with Dani. We can’t wait to have her watch our dog again!

Jill was fantastic, she took great care of my dog! So happy to have found her, she will be my go-to sitter for the future! Thank you, Jill, for your excellent care and communication. It means the world to be able to relax and know that my senior dog is in trustworthy hands while away.

grant was hands down the most incredible pet sitter i've ever tried ever! he was so good at communicating quickly especially with me being in the virgin islands where service is only available in certain areas. not once while i was on vacation did i have to worry about my pup because i knew he was in good hands. grant even last minute excepted to watching my pup for 2 more days due to a flight delay. grant is who i will use anytime i need a sitter. my concierge was even telling me that zeus looked so happy while in his care PLEASE make sure to take the opportunity and book if he has open availability, you will not be disappointed
