“Had a sitter cancel on short notice and Ciara was super flexible with me and understanding. Did great with my dog and gave regular updates. She was much appreciated!”


“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”


“Laurie was a phenomenal pet sitter for our little dog Mona. I messaged her out of the blue to see if she'd be willing to meet us at our wedding venue to get photos with Mona and then take her overnight. She was perfectly on time for everything and flexible for us with our photos and absolutely spoiled Mona for her overnight stay - including a little pup cup pit stop for being so good in our photos. She was so communicative with us before, during, and after the event and put together a custom package of her services to fit our more unique request. Thank you, Laurie!”


“We always have peace of mind whenever Moose stays with Stephanie. All those random photos that we received while we were away reassured us that he is happy a great time. I can’t count how many times moose stayed with her, but she’s definitely our go-to gal.”


“We felt so thankful to find Sarah! She expressed genuine care and interest in our sweet pup! Lizzy was still in heat (1st one!) yikes! But Sarah was a hero getting her fitted with a lovely pink diaper and sent pics to reassure us! Above and beyond!”


“Taylor was great! Extremely happy with our experience with her. Sent frequent updates/photos and our dog seemed to really enjoy his time at her house. 10 out of 10 would recommend”


“Rebooked after a great first experience, and this time didn't disappoint either. Our pups were well taken care of and enjoyed the resident pup, Teddy, and his company. Our senior pup with medications did very well, and our 1-year-old had plenty of fun. I anticipate rebooking again when the time comes.”


“Audra is fantastic. This was my first tie leaving my dog and I was anxious. Right from the get-go she made me feel comfortable, she was fantastic with him and made him feel like home, she made sure he eat, played and had a healthy dosage of cuddles. She kept me informed at all times and I won’t doubt in leaving my dog with her in the future.”


“Kaylie was fantastic with our King Charles. He has a little anxiety and she won him over within two minutes of meeting him. She was very easy to work with. Great communication.

“Clarissa was everything I anticipated her to be, she was nurturing, caring and on her A game with my pup. She was very responsive and txted me daily photos of my pup. I could tell by how my pup acted around her that she was very well cared for. I will for sure book with Clarissa on future occasions. I am nothing short of happy with her level of pup care. She is just awesome and sweet.”

About: I've been caring for dogs my whole life—starting with family pets and now regularly sitting for friends who trust me like one of their own. Whether it's long walks along the riverfront, playtime, or cozy couch cuddles, I treat every pup like they're part of my family. I'm reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can count on me to keep your pet happy, safe, and loved while you're away! I currently work full time, so am available for boarding Friday-Sunday or weekday evenings after 5! Happy to work with your schedule if i'm able! When boarded with me, your dog will get 2+ mile walks along the riverfront trail, loving care and attention, and a built-in best friend in my pup, Nico! Always happy to provide updates and send pics so you can enjoy time away while knowing your baby is in good hands!

“Trent was great! He was super responsive and sent pictures each day to keep me updated on how my dog was doing. He took her on a long walk and ensure she had plenty of exercise. Definitely recommend him for future! Thanks!”

Kylie M.
“LOOK NO FURTHER! If you are needing reliable, compassionate and trustworthy care for your pet, Kylie is the perfect match! She adores dogs and cats and treats each one as she would her own. I was nervous leaving our senior shih-poo, Zoey, and our rambunctious, energetic 5 year old mini golden doodle, Lily, with a stranger but Kylie made it such a smooth experience. She sent regular photo updates and was super responsive to messages. Both dogs usually have a bit of separation anxiety, but they seemed so relaxed and happy when we picked them up! Kylie has a sweet little King Charles Spaniel named Nico who loves playing with the other dogs. You can tell Kylie truly loves animals!! I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
