“We recently went on vacation and had the absolute pleasure of entrusting Hannah with the care of our pup. From start to finish, she provided exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for in our home. Daily updates, including photos and messages, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was happy, relaxed, and receiving plenty of attention. Hannah followed all our instructions perfectly, kept our home neat and tidy, and left everything just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we have already booked with Hannah again for later this month. If you're looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter, look no further—Hannah is the best!”
“Gail is a superstar! I needed to find a dog sitter at the last minute and had never used Rover before. Gail responded right away and made a plan to meet me and my pup right away to confirm it was a fit. Gail did a fantastic job watching Rocky! She sent me updates and I never had to think or worry about how things were going at home during our trip. I will absolutely use Gail again and cannot recommend her enough.”
“Maggie was fantastic! She took great care of Birdie while staying in our home; providing 1-2x daily updates and photos during her stay. Birdie loved her, and the new toys that Maggie had brought for her. We’ll definitely be using Maggie again.”
“Darcy did an amazing job on our first overnight away from our pups. She followed our instructions to a t and left our home and pups like she found them. Very friendly and great with updates. Look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Angela and Adam were great with our dog, Rosie! Sent lots of pictures and updates. You could tell by the pictures Rosie really liked them. Will definitely be using them again.”

“Alyssa was amazing with my pets. She went above and beyond what was asked. Mini (lab mix) is not a dog that warms up quickly to others and Alyssa didn’t give up on her. I do believe they are finally friends. I will be a repeat client and won’t hesitate to use Alyssa again.”
About: Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority. I have experience working in multiple doggy daycares, volunteering at a cat shelter, and pet sitting for friends and family. I am familiar with all types of breeds, big & small, energetic, couch potato, reactive and non reactive. Helping animals has always been a great passion of mine and I strive for new challenges to face. I currently work PT as a Dietary Aid making my schedule very limited monday’s, thursdays and every other weekends. I have more availability on the other days of the week, (walks, drop in visits, and overnight care). Dogs tend to be more comfortable in their own homes so I provide those services to ensure the happiness and safety of all. For every visit, I bring a pet first aid kit, extra leashes, towels, treats, water/water bowls, tick removal kit, pooper scooper, etc. Your pet will receive the spoiled treatment with me!
About: I have been a veterinary technician for a long time! I have recently changed careers and have been a student again. I miss being around fur babies and I would love to have the opportunity to do it again! I started my career with animals in a shelter and moved into the veterinary field. I have had too many foster animals of all types to even count! I am completely confident in my skills weather that be behavioral, medical, age specific, etc. My own pets are all over the rainbow bridge now and I deeply miss these interactions. Very available unless on vacation. Reach out if you need something! We may be able to make it happen! Full time student home for the summer ready to take care of your fur babies! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a large yard to walk your dog all around! We also have a great area to go on longer walks right on our street! While your away, let your pet have the experience of their very own vacation with me!
“My very young, but large and high-energy dog did exceedingly well with Connor. Having come into my life last October, I had not once left Chance in the care of anyone else. I was, of course, a bit nervous about how he would fare. He was rescued from a terrible situation and suffers from anxiety. I’ve worked hard to help Chance adjust, and I have made good progress. I had no reason to fear! Connor knew instinctively how to connect with Chance, and it is clear that I had the right person for this dog! I highly recommend Connor and thank him for taking a chance on Chance!”
“Made it home--Chase was incredibly calm and relaxed. The house is in great shape. Jared and Tanya, you are both truly wonderful. Thank you so much. When it's a dire, last minute situation like that, I typically just prepare myself to "take what I can get" in regards to quality of sitter. It's been really great having exceptional service despite the frantic circumstances. Cheers!”
“Corey did an amazing job with our two mini goldendoodles. He showed up on time and they came home tired and happy. I also appreciate the pics!!”
“Kylie did a great job watching our dogs!”
“Jen was wonderful with our 3 dogs. She is very kind and professional. We felt very safe and comfortable with her in our home. The dogs (and kitty) seemed happy and was updated with photos of them all :)”

I’m flexible and always happy to adjust my availability because every dog deserves the best care and attention possible! When I’m in your home, I treat it like I would a friend’s, with care, respect, and maybe a little tidying here and there!

As Caroline would say, "Now the fun begins!" They bring her so much joy and she absolutely loves taking care of all their needs. She also has cared for newborn kittens. She is forever sending me photos of these babies and shares the photos with me and my husband when she comes home from work. Most definitely, Caroline is a responsible and loving, nurturing pet caregiver and I absolutely recommend her for the opportunity to work for you. Thank you .”
