“Heidi was a great find for my time away from home. She was responsible and stayed in communication before, after and during her stay at my home with my dog, Briggs. They got along well, which was obvious when she came by and Briggs practically knocked her down to give her doggie hugs and kisses. Heidi is reliable and affectionate which were both major criteria for dog sitting in my book. Canine and owner approved!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with our 2 senior kitties! She sent lots of pics and was an excellent communicator with us throughout our stay. She treated our home with respect and care and did an amazing job getting everything in place before we came home. Don’t hesitate to book Emily for your pets, she is a gem!”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of our three dogs while we were gone. She's very responsive and communicated with us while she cared for them. We'll use her again for sure.”
“Sierra is phenomenal! She took such good care of my old dog! She stayed with her since she is older and needs more attention! She was so communicative and even strip the bed she used in my house when she was done! I felt so secure leaving her to pet sit in my home! Will definitely book again!”
“Jade took such good care of George and Ginger for us. The pictures Jade sent us of both puppies were very thoughtful and heart warming. She communicated any questions very well and let us know when she arrived and left. We will definitely be asking Jade to watch our fur babies again.”
“I was a super nervous Nelly because I have never left my pets with a stranger before, and I have a special needs dog. I was kept extremely well informed of how everyone was doing and my fears were abated. The pictures and videos that I received were fabulous and as frequent as I needed them to be. I will absolutely be using Skylynn again and recommend her as a spectacular sitter for all your pets!! Affordable, reliable, and personable, with a keen eye for detail. I will never worry again about taking a trip away from home with Skylynn as my go to sitter!!!”
“Steve is awesome! We are always nervous about taking on new sitters for our quirky bunch but Steve made us and them feel at ease right away. During his stay he was super communicative, sending regular status updates and pictures. As a houseguest he was very respectful, keeping up with the mail and making sure to leave the place as he found it. We will definitely have Steve and/or Wanda back!”
“We continue to use Machalah regularly for overnight sits with our dog! She’s so communicative and sweet with him. He definitely has a great bond with her and it’s awesome to have peace of mind when traveling that our dog is well cared for!”
“Lucy goes above and beyond with caring for your animals! Not only is she willing to accommodate for last minute emergency needs but she also volunteered to take care of the cat litter box to ensure they are fine for the longer visit away. Lucy provides excellent communication during the visits and I will continue to use her services in the future.”
“Shan was amazing with our pets! Gave them lots of love and sent pictures every day. We highly recommend Shan for any and all pet sitting needs. We'll definitely book Shan for future visits!”
“Lauren was an amazing pet and house sitter!! She sent us pictures and updates during her time with our two wild dogs. She cleaned up and even did some laundry. Very responsible and trustworthy! Feel 100% confident leaving our pups with her!”
“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”
“Julia did an amazing job! My pets immediately loved her and she took great care of them while I was gone for a week. My house was super clean when I got back too. 5/5 would rebook again! :)”
About: I’ve worked with animals of my own since I was a child and has now blossomed into my career. I’ve worked in vet med, doggie daycares, boarding facilities, training facilities and regional animal shelters. I’ve got experience from sweet seniors with diabetes and finicky habits; to teething puppies just learning to be dogs. As a part time stay at home stepmom with a week on/week off schedule, I’ve built my days around caring for others; both two legged and four legged. On the weeks we have my stepdaughter, my focus is on nurturing, patience, and creating a calm, structured routine. On my off weeks, I have the flexibility and time to dedicate myself fully to pet care. I love being outdoors and active, and pet sitting or dog walking fits naturally into my lifestyle. It allows me to combine my nurturing instincts with my love for animals, making sure every pet I look after gets the same attention, consistency, and affection I give at home. I do not currently offer boarding services at this time. With time that may be subject to change. When caring for pets in their own home, I always do my best to keep them comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe and secure while their family is away. I carefully follow all instructions left by pet parents and keep open communication with updates, photos, and messages. With over 10 years of experience in veterinary care, doggy daycares, boarding facilities, and shelters, I’m also confident handling special needs or senior pets. I’m trained to administer most medications, including oral meds, fluids, and IM injections, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in capable hands. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for; just like they would be at home with you.
“I’m really happy with Elizabeth’s communication - always clear, accommodating, and friendly. Both our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and pampered in all the photo updates. Will definitely be booking again!”

Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.
Oscar and Elmo said they really liked Aelish. They said she was very accommodating, took good care of them, fed them and snuggled with him. They were very happy with her services and want to use her again in the future. I was also happy with her services and with the way she stayed in communication. This let me know everything was going well.
Katie was wonderful! She took such good care of Lola and my home while I was out of the country. She kept me well informed every day, so I was able to relax while being so far away from home. Some unexpected issues arose, ie, potential squirrels in the attic, Lola eating a bee, and Lola not wanting to go out in the rain… Katie handled it all with ease! She’s definitely a gem!
Jayden did a fantastic job checking on, walking, and playing with Finley while I was away. She sent pictures everytime she was at my house showing Finley and what he was doing. Jayden is very personable, willing to meet your pet ahead of time, and was great with my fur baby! I highly recommend Jayden and will use her again in the future.
