Keri is THE BEST!! Our dog is a bit shy around humans and it was honestly stunning how quickly they became friends. Not only was Keri extremely responsive when we were setting up this last minute booking, but she kept us updated regularly throughout our entire trip. It was clear that she showed him so much love, taking him on adventures and cuddling with him. We could tell Keri really understood his unique personality and she made our trip completely worry-free. When we got back, our house was even better off than it was before. If I could give 100 stars, I would!!

Sally is the best! This is the second time that she has stayed with our dog, Sybil. Sybil was so excited when Sally arrived at our house, she adores Sally and Sally takes excellent care of her. They have so much fun together, going on walks and playing with Sybil's favorite toys. I highly recommend Sally! I know that Sybil will be thrilled to hang out with her again in the future!

Trista stayed overnight with our fur babies. She was so good with our 3 dogs. She put our mind at ease. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day. The pups were happy too :) Will definitely book again.

Taylor took wonderful care of our sweet senior girl (15yo!) who has particular needs and takes meds. Sasha was happy and content when we got home, and our house looked great, too. We’re very grateful for the thoughtful care and would absolutely recommend Taylor.

Liz met us at our campsite right on time and she immediately got along with our Catahoula, Annie. They were quick friends. Liz did a great job keeping her safe and entertained while me and my family attended a concert, and Annie was safe and relaxed when we got back to our site. Liz did great and I'll recommend her to anyone who needs help watching their fur baby for a few hours.

Brenna was an amazing pet sitter for us. We have two dogs, both seniors, and one with significant health issues. It is always hard to leave him but had our son's wedding in Canada to attend. Brenna sent constant updates and photos to ease our mind while away. They were very well cared for and loved. I would use Brenna again in a heart beat!

McKenna was incredible! My picky dog loved her right away, and she navigated his separation anxiety so lovingly and effectively. Her knack and intuition with animals shows. She was extremely communicative, clear and thoughtful at every step. Can't wait to book her again!

Evelyn was awesome with our two Frenchies, Homer and Lorelei! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of photo updates throughout the day, and was super easy to communicate with. Everything went really smoothly — we’d definitely have her watch them again!

Clara was amazing with our dogs. We were away for 5 nights and she took great care of our 3 dogs. She provided frequent updates and even managed to walk all 3 dogs together. She kept our house clean even with all the rain and muddy paws. I HIGHLY recommend Clara. We will be booking with her again

About: I have always lived in household with a minimum of 3 dogs, dogs have been my companions before I could walk. Now I’m always with my service dog, Winnie. I worked with a program to train my own service dog. He’s a friendly little golden retriever, and a fast friend. During his training I learned the importance of trust routine, and patience with dogs. I’m currently working part time from 7:30 to 2 pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and 10-3 on Saturdays. I am always up for hiking or a short walk with dogs. I have a service dog who comes with me everywhere, he’s a gentle and easy friend, and generally good with other dogs. He’s just as happy to play as he is to nap.

About: I have always had such a love of dogs and they bring me so much joy. I’ve worked with senior dogs with extra care requirements as well as puppies that may need some extra care and attention as well. I was working part time in a restaurant but it is now closed and I work one day a week there currently try. I spend a lot of my time dog sitting around the county. I stay at your house as needed but if your dogs enjoy others, I’d be happy to have your babies at my house as I have two happy loving dogs of my own that love meeting and playing with new friends! I have a fenced in yard and many cozy beds and couches for times of rest. Your dogs will be taken care of the way you want and will be very loved! Typically my clients have routines that I stick to so your animal feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Dana stayed at our house for a week while we were traveling and gave our cats exceptional care. We appreciated getting daily updates with photos and could tell that our two sociable cats loved their time with her. We're also grateful that she went the extra mile in trying to help our most shy cat feel comfortable. We highly recommend Dana for pet care!

Sally is great! She's detail-oriented, responsible, friendly, helpful, and my dogs loved her! The house was left in better condition than when she arrived! She was very clean and tidy and did some cleaning before she left. She was good about sending updates/pics. We will be using Sally again!

We couldn't be happier with Sally. She is the consummate professional. She took great care of our dog and left the house in immaculate condition. She's mature, kind and the dog/house sitter you've been dreaming of. Look no further.
