“I am so grateful for the amazing care my puppy received! The sitter went above and beyond, keeping me updated with photos and making sure he was happy and well cared for. My puppy is high-energy, and I truly appreciate knowing he was in good hands. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care!”
“Vanessa is the best. Hands down. She’s so thorough and cares so deeply for our dogs. Plus she’s just a delight to interact with. 10/10 will recommend for pets and people. It doesn’t get much better than this.”
“Truly couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. I’m EXTREMELY picky who watches my two dogs and she exceeded my expectations. Everything went so smooth. She sent so many pics and videos and we stayed in touch the whole time I was gone. There is no better dog sitter, thank you so much!! ❤️”
“Stella stayed with our 4 dogs for 3 nights. She sent updates often which included picture. Upon arriving home, the house was in great condition and the dogs were very happy. She did a great job and would definitely recommend her! She made going away very enjoyable knowing that we didn’t have to worry!”
“Christina took care of our Scottie during a quick trip to Washington. She got along well with the dog and kept in touch with us with text messages and picture. She spent the night with Cookie. When we returned the house was neat and the dog was happy. I will hire Christine again.”
“Once again using Dawn because she is the best! So reliable and the kitties love her. Very dependable and communicative. I will be back using her again I am sure!”
“Maria watched my dog for a week at my home while we were on vacation. It was the first time that I left him with someone I didn't know. She helped make him feel comfortable and he did really well! She sent pictures and updates and responded to my questions promptly. She left my home neat as well! I would recommend and hire her again!”
“I had a pleasant experience having Kristina pet sit Milo at my apartment for 3 nights/3 days. She was quick to respond. She gave me frequent updates and pictures. She left my apartment just as I left it. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pet and would use her again!”
“Catherine was fantastic, and I would highly recommend her. She treated our pet like a long, lost friend... Lots of attention and lots of communication with us on a daily basis. We returned home to find our cat happy and our home well cared for too. Thank you, Cathy!”
“Marta is a great pet sitter. She came over two times before I actually needed her to get acquainted with my pets. She did everything that was expected and even sent us pictures while we were away. I would definitely use Marta again.”
About: I love helping. Especially dogs. And i particularly love big dogs. I grew up with German shepherds and we bond very well. I love nearly every pup i meet. I create my own schedule for everything. Therefore I have a lot of flexibility but also not so much consistency. I am great for last minute walks or drop-ins. I treat every living thing with respect and kindness. I am a waterbearer therefore I like helping anyone or thing crossing my path in need of it.
“From the second the dogs met Julia they were HOOKED and I just knew I was leaving them in the most loving caring and capable hands. She sent daily updates and I was FLOORED to come home and see all my plants were still alive too! (Only because they’re really finicky and I have a hard enough time keeping them alive and thriving!) and coming home after a long week to see that my house is as comfy and cozy as I need it to be after traveling all day was such a relief. If she’s available BOOK HER you’ll feel so lucky you did!!”
“We had such a wonderful vacation with all our family after a brutal year and a half apart due to the pandemic. Thanks to Laura, we never worried about our home or our dogs. She let us know every day that all was well.”
“This is our 2nd time booking Sean since moving to the area to watch our pups, Jax and Millie. We will continue to book in the future. I highly recommend Sean to anyone looking. Very respectful, responsive, and we can tell our pups are truly cared for while we are gone.”
“This was our first house sitting with David and all I can say is WOW . We did our meet n greet and Tyson took to David right away. He was on time, very interactive with Tyson, We connected with alot of things in commo. This proved to be a first of several on going sessions for house and pet sitting / Thank you David for everything ! Tyson give 5 Paw Prints !”
