About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. I have two sweet Golden Retrievers of my own—Smiley (7 years old) and Captain (2 years old). I’m reliable, responsible, and will treat your dog like family! I work from home and I have good flexibility in my schedule- so I’d be happy to help you out during the work days or weekends! My house has a fenced in back yard and two great parks for long walks right by my house! My Golden Retriever Smiley loves to play! He has a blast with every dog he meets, he is a very sweet energetic pup. My boyfriend who lives with me also loves dogs just as much as i do!
“Jordan is amazing! This was my second time booking with her and this time for recurring drop ins. She is great at communication and loving towards my Koko! Will be booking with her again and cannot recommend her enough!”

“As always, Emma was fantastic with my girls. She went above and beyond when Snap and Pompom broke something (100% my fault) and made sure it was well cleaned so they wouldn't get glass in their paws.”

“You can tell Summer really cares about animals and she had so much patience with my senior dog! She did a great job with updates and checking in with any questions!”

“Katie is the best pet sitter. She is so patient with my difficult guy and so loving with my sweet girl. She went above and beyond and I can’t wait to have her be my sitter for all my trips!”

“Sophia is so wonderful! She is professional, kind, and was very attentive with my puppy. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care!”

“Neve is an amazing dog sitter! Our dog loves seeing her and never wants her to leave because she is so good with him! She is easy to communicate with, punctual and reliable. She is so kind and caring to our dog, we would highly recommend her to anyone!”


About: I have spent all my life growing up with animals- dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. and know what responsibilities go into making sure they are well taken care of. I often pet sit for my parents, and help to manage my senior dog’s medications, make sure our puppy is well played with and ensure they are both fed, loved, and content. I would love the opportunity to help take care of your fur babies! I have just graduated with my doctorate in physical therapy, and am on a break to study for licensure prior to starting work. I have plenty of free time to give your pets love and care anytime :) I am a very active individual, and love taking pets out for walks or playing with toys when they’re full of energy. I’m diligent and responsible in making sure they are fed, taken out, and content. I will match your dogs energy and make sure they feel loved.

Amanda did an amazing job taking care of my cat Teddy! He has been going through a lot and is on new medication, but Amanda gave him his meds no problem. She was great at scooping his litter box and cleaning up after him. She’s an amazing sitter, will definitely use again!

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Oakley. She was reliable, communicative, sent great updates/photos, and clearly cared about him like he was her own. Oak can be high energy and she handled him perfectly. It gave me a ton of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.
