“Andrea is fantastic! She watched out two dogs and our home for 5 days while we were out of town. She sent many photos and was very communicative, which we really appreciated, and she was so sweet with the dogs. I can tell they were very well cared for while we were gone. We would love to have Andrea back the next time we travel!”


“Ray was absolutely amazing, with our senior dog. He listened to all of my advice and took everything I asked him to do very seriously, took him on a very long walk to the forest like I had asked. Overall, I would higher Ray again in a heartbeat if i'm going out of town or just if I need somebody for the day.”


“Diane was such a blessing. She has a really sweet and caring demeanor and we knew right away she was the right sitter to watch our fur babies. In our week long trip she took great care of our home and 2 dogs and kept in touch throughout our trip. We feel relieved to have found her and will definitely rebook with her. Thank you Diane!!”


“Coleen was caring, professional, and fast to respond. Our dogs absolutely adore her and were sad to see her leave. She easily managed 3 large dogs without issue. We had Coleen in-house sit them overnight for our big day and can't recommend her enough!”


“Jo was great!! She was very communicative and took great care of our little Josie. This was our first time leaving our 3 month old puppy for the night and Jo made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be using Jo again!! 🙂”


“Renee house-sat for us and was great! She was very respectful of our home, and sent lots of photos and videos. But most importantly, our pets really loved her. She is very attuned to animals and their needs ❤️”



“April is responsive, personable, and friendly. She stayed in our home and took great care of our cat and dog, who can be anxious and high-strung at times. We enjoyed getting pictures and updates while we were away. Highly recommend!”


“Ola was a wonderful dog sitter for our pup. She was neat, orderly, and respectful of our place while we were gone. She did us a huge favor by staying with our pup over Memorial Day weekend. 10/10!”



“I felt very good leaving Maisie with Annie. It was a short visit, but so helpful to me. I received pictures and updates and everything was in tip top shape when I returned home. Thank you Annnie...and Rover!”


“Ariel is a great pet/house sitter. She was flexible, responsive, and our dog took to her very quickly, which never happens. We will definitely book her for future dog sitting!”


“I cant say enough about Ashley! She was excellent taking care of our dog Tucker, but went way above and beyond. We walked into a clean home and a sweet note and gift! We will always give her a call when we need a dog sitter! 😊😊😊”


About: I have trained two puppies and I raised my dog for 12 years! I would love to meet your dog and treat them as mine own! I work as Nursing assistant but I also have some free time and would love to work with animals as well! I enjoy being helpful! I can drive to your home and make sure your pet is taken care of and kept clean! I can also take them out for walks as needed !

“Klaudia was so great with our pup Bowie! From the meet and greet to her daily updates (and amazing pictures!) Klaudia was very professional and a la excellent communicator. Bowie can be an anxious dog but she took to Klaudia’s calm, capable demeanor right away and we had zero worries during our whole weekend away. Would definitely have Klaudia back anytime!”


“Dorothy was wonderful! Very responsive, reliable, and buttoned up. Our dog likes to play...a lot. And Dorothy played fetch with him to his heart's content. Hugo was very relaxed, unstressed, and a little tired when we returned home, all the signs of a good weekend. We felt 100% comfortable knowing Dorothy had it handled and Hugo would absolutely love to see her again!”


“Sneydy was absolutely fantastic with my babies! She went above and beyond while watching them, was accommodating with my needs and made sure to give plenty of updates all along the way. Cannot recommend her enough 🙏”

Hailey S.
“To whom it may concern, I’m happy to recommend Hailey Salgado for the position for a pet caregiver/walker. Not only is she responsible and trustworthy, she is also kindhearted and genuinely caring towards everyone she has come across. Hailey has looked after my dog several times and I cannot recommend a more capable person for the job. She puts the effort into every part of the care whether it’s a big or small task. Whether it’s making sure the dog is being properly fed, playtime or just hanging out and keeping them company. Just know she will do everything with a smile on her face and from the kindness in her heart. You can count on her to go the extra mile not just because she has to, but because she genuinely loves animals and cares for them like her own. You can trust her to follow any care instructions and is easy to communicate with.”

Dorothy stayed with our Labrador Retriever, Koa, for several days while we were out of the country. Everything was great! She was able to spend lots of time at home with Koa, keeping more or less the same routine that Koa has when we’re here. She also sent a few updates with pics. When we arrived back, the house was just as we had left it. Such peace of mind to find someone you trust with your “furry child” and your home! Dorothy’s terrific.

Diane is always the best with our senior, snuggly dog! She is our first sitter we contact when we are headed out of town. Diane consistently communicates, makes sure our dog is well cared for, and has gotten to know her silly personality. We highly recommend Diane!

Ashley was great with our cowardly, slow to warm up dog. She watched her while we were on a long family vacation (2 weeks), sent tons of updates including cute pictures, and followed all our instructions to a tee and even fed our gecko for us, too. We would definitely use Ashley again.

Sergio went above and beyond for us! This was our first time hiring him and the big storms that we had caused some unexpected problems and Sergio really helped us with that as well. Our pets seem to have gotten very comfortable around him within a short period of time. We came home to all of our animals happy and healthy, our house in the shape that we left it in and he gave us peace of mind while away on a much needed family trip! Recommend and will definitely hire him again when/if he is available.

Ray was absolutely amazing, with our senior dog. He listened to all of my advice and took everything I asked him to do very seriously, took him on a very long walk to the forest like I had asked. Overall, I would higher Ray again in a heartbeat if i'm going out of town or just if I need somebody for the day.

Ashley’s daily presence in our home during our recent vacation was a great comfort to us and our crew of three dogs. We our so thankful that she made our trip possible and free of a concern about our dogs’ welfare. They adore her and were so happy that she got to have an extended sleepover!

Jenny was great from the moment I reached out. Wanting to come by for a meet and greet, booking way ahead b/c of holiday, when it got closer she came by again to refresh. Great peace of mind before we left. And then went above and beyond while she was here. Pics, notes. So gracious and professional. Great with both dogs too. Thank you again!
