“Victoria is amazing! We board our sweet girl Hannah who is a doberman mix, and she has the best time. Victoria communicates twice a day and more if needed to help us feel better about leaving Hannah especially when its more than a week. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of our sweet girl!!!”
“Briana and her family were great with Louie! I got tons of updates and photos! I could tell he really loved it with them. Can’t wait to let them watch my fur baby again!”
“Amy is very flexible and responsible dog sitter who took good care of my pup over the holiday week. She sent me pictures and explained what my pup did throughout the day. We love Amy and will be using her for future dog sitting needs.”
“Great dog sitters for my anxious little dog. They sent updates and photos daily. My dog was more comfortable the second time around. I will be booking you again in the future! Thank you.”
“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER!! Rose watched our pup Nathan over the weekend and I will be exclusively user her in the future for any and all pet sitting. The room she has for her Rover guests is clean and very comfortable for dogs. Her two dogs Daisy and Whiskey are really nice and sweet pups and got along great with ours! Rose provided plenty of enrichment and playtime for Nathan and we did not worry at all while he was under her care. Everyday she made sure to update us and send photos which was super nice. Nathan even came down with tummy issues the day before our trip and Rose still accepted our sitting appointment and even got him better again! She has an amazing knowledge of pet nutrition and (after asking permission of course) fed him a diet to help his tummy! While doing this, she even recommended food that would be better suited for his size and type of dog. I’m so happy we found Rose and look forward to many more sitting appointments with her!”
“I was nervous about leaving my 7 month old lab for a week, especially with having some stomach problems prior to leaving. Chang was great at sending daily updates with pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs to leave their pup behind while they go away”
“Highly recommend! We needed to book a last-minute sitter with a 6:30 AM start time the following morning. Zeiydah to the rescue! She was communicative, sent lots of pictures and treated Mac so well. We will be booking again. Thank you so much, Zeiydah!”
“Cassandra was great with the pups. She sent updates and pictures and the dogs were in the best hands. She was so kind about their quirks and has great communication. Would definitely recommend her as a sitter and will be using her services in the near future!”
“Our dog Tucker came home happy after spending 2 nights with Monica. She was great communicating with us and sending us photos of him. It was the first time Tucker stayed with her and her family and he seemed to have a good time. Thanks, Monica!”
“My dog Mac just spent 10 days with Aaron and I think he was actually a little sad to leave. He made quick friends with Aaron's dog boomer and I loved the videos of the two of them playing. Aaron was great at keeping us updated and I would definitely recommend him to a friend.”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”

“Rae and her family really worked hard to make my anxious Bichon, Hope feel at ease.. Hope came from neglect and abuse the first 5 months of her life before we adopted her. She gets anxious with anyone above her trying to pet her, but after a day, her anxieties were minimized and she felt more at home! I appreciate all your love and support with Hope!”

“Sharon was a spectacular pet sitter for my mini goldendoodle. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Sharon at her house. She had a nice fenced in yard and my dog got along well with the other dogs. Sharon made the drop off and pick up quick and easy!”
“Jessica kept me very calm and always updated about my dog. Without a doubt, whenever I need it, I will contact her. My dog has a lot of energy and always wants to play. He arrived completely tired, he still played a little because he has a lot of energy. but he soon fell asleep. always kept me updated on what he was doing and a very understanding person. Thank you very much Jessica. My heart was happy to know that you got along well and very calmly.”
About: My love for animals is unmatched! I’d treat your fur babies as my own. My kind heart comes from taking care of my own animals and children as I have been a nanny for a while as well! I’m free at anytime, I currently am working on building a small business so I have a ton of free time! Whether it’s for a daily walk or over night count on me to be there! I don’t have a fenced yard, but I have LOTS of land for your baby to run and play! I can easily crate them if needed. I also have 3 spunky kitties to keep your dog or cat company!
“Ryan watched our 2 golden doodles for four nights. We expected the stay to go well and he exceeded our expectations. He was very pleasant and had a great disposition. He updated us regularly on how the dogs were doing and sent numerous pictures. All in all our experience was fantastic and we will definitely use his services again.”
