“Leigh Ann was amazing taking care of our dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She sent us regular updates of time spent with our pets. Her attention and care was as if they were her own dogs.”

“Jamie is so great with my dogs! She reached out a few days before her stay to confirm details and showed up as promised and sent pictures and updates each day. She even made me a welcome home banner from the dogs, that was a sweet treat! I'm glad she is taking care of my babies for my next couple of trips and hope she is available for anymore that I may have. She truly is a gem!!”

“Jacqueline was a wonderful sitter! She was responsive, understanding, and communicative. She listened to our care instructions and left our house very neat and tidy. We will definitely work with her again in the future.”

About: I'm the kind of person who stops to pet every single dog I see on my walks—I simply can't resist their precious, furry faces. I've been obsessed with animals for as long as I can remember, and that love naturally led me to start pet sitting as soon as anyone would let me. Over the years, I've cared for animals belonging to friends, family, neighbors—just about anyone who asked! I truly love giving pets the care and attention they deserve, because to me, they are one of the greatest gifts in the world. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own and can't wait to spend some time with them! I'm a part-time worker, so I have plenty of time. I love getting out and taking walks, but my dog is getting old and doesn't like to walk as much, so I'm looking for more pups to give her a break and walk with. I have a fenced-in yard in a neighborhood with lots of trails to walk on. I have a very friendly and old dog at home, but she loves company. I love spending time with animals, playing fetch, petting them, and especially going on walks. I can feed and entertain the animals.
“Ava is always great with our pup Haze! He's a handful and she is a pro. She also handled a household emergency for us while we were away and we couldn't be more grateful!”


“Courtney was great! We felt very comfortable being away knowing that our pets were getting so much love and attention. We had clear and frequent communications and a plenty of pictures confirming all the good things happening. We'd (and our critters) would be very happy to see Courtney again.”

“Karen took wonderful care of our dogs, Sam and Tito, for a full week while we were on vacation. She was incredibly responsive, always sending updates and photos when we asked, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She also left our home in perfect condition, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!”
“Kathryn was absolutely wonderful with our 2 fur babies! She was diligent with checking in/providing updates and she sent us plenty of pictures 🥰 Our boys seemed happy and settled in Kathryn’s care (like we weren’t even gone). I would recommend Kathryn over and over (and hope she comes back in the future to sit for us again)!”

“Delaney was amazing with our energetic 8-month old puppy! She was very communicative, on time, and was willing to accommodate us coming home later than expected. We came home to a very happy and tired puppy!”

“Samantha was wonderful with my 2 elderly and high maintenance dogs. She sent pictures and checked in just enough while my family was away for a week. We came home to happy dogs and the house looks like we just left it. We look forward to using her again in the future!”

“Jean did an excellent job watching our 15 year old shih tzu. He’s an old guy with many medical needs so leaving him is stressful, but she gave us constant updates so our minds were at ease during the entire week. She definitely gave our boy lots of love and it was so reassuring to know she was here. Lots of picture and video updates, and she left the place sparkling clean. We’ll definitely be using her services again in the future if need be! 😊”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. My family has also fostered puppies for the past 5–6 years, which has given me experience with young dogs, routines, patience, and providing a safe, loving environment. Friends and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets before starting my full-time role in July. Once I begin, I’ll only be in office two days a week, so I’ll still have lots of availability. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and one friendly small dog who loves making new friends. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, active, and comfortable. I enjoy long walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and care while you’re away.
“Jerad did an awesome job with Samson. Followed the instructions perfectly and was a great friend to our little guy. Took him on walks and sent lots of updates. Would definitely recommend!”

“Elizabeth was great with the pets. She was a natural with them and quickly became part of their pack/flock. She kept us informed and took wonderful pictures of our pets as updates. Will definitely use again!”

“Neri saved our New Year trip and sat for our 2 dogs when our first sitter had a medical emergency. The pups were very content with her and she was prompt and professional. We highly recommend her for and pet care and house sitting.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple sizes and ages. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, a bunny, you name it. I’m the go to family member for when it comes to pet sitting! I work full time between M-F 8:30am to 5:30pm I can always find time on my lunch break or after work or weekends to help out! I can help out with whatever is needed. It doesn’t matter if they need a leash or can free roam. I will take care of them just like you would!

Lacy is amazing. We trust her implicitly! She takes care of our “babies” as if they are her own. This last time, Camden wasn’t doing well. She immediately called me and worked with me to get a plan in place should things worsen. I love this sweet girl so much! She laid on the floor with Camden and gave him so much extra love.

Maddi did a terrific job staying at our house to take care of our Princess Penny 🐶☺️ She went above and beyond by not only coming to meet Penny, us and get a tour of the house, prior to reservation, she came a second time to understand Penny’s usual walking routine. Over the weekend, Maddi sent numerous updates and pics about how Penny was doing. Maddi is compassionate, good with animals, responsive, prompt and easy to get ahold of. When we returned, Penny was happy, calm and our house was exactly the way we left it! You won’t regret choosing Maddi for your fur family’s care. I know we’ll be definitely be reserving Maddi in the future
