“Alyssa went above and beyond for our girl, who just happens to be a bit anxious. She took good care of our home and sent updates throughout our time away, we really felt better knowing she was watching our baby. Cannot say enough how much we appreciate this service!”


“Maddie was a life saver. We had a dinner to attend and our dog was having issues with a new medication. We didn't want to leave her alone and Maddie responded quickly to a request for help. All went well and I hope that Maddie will come back again.”


“This is our second time having Paige watch our boys and as per usual, I did not have to ever think twice or worry about a thing. The four leggeds were happy, the house was well taken care of and I was always made aware of what was going on at home. Paige was especially attentive of my dog during the heavy thunderstorms that happened while we were gone and I was very appreciative of that! I will 100% use Paige again - highly, highly recommend!”

“Chloe is an outstanding sitter! She took great care of our pups, communicated well, and we felt so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Will definitely use her again and again and again!”


“This was our second time with Breon watching our pups and she was wonderful (see my prior review!) - The pups are happy and the home was tidy when we got back, a very thoughtful detail. Breon sends great updates with photos and videos and is fantastic about communicating goings on with the dogs, which as a very picky dog mama I really value! Thank you for taking care of our babies Breon, we appreciate you!”


“Aspen was fantastic with the animals, frequent check-ins and so respectful of our home. We'd be delighted to have Aspen back for a future trip”

“Andrea is amazing with our pup!!! We are so thankful to have someone who cares for her like family while we are away. We will continue using her for any of our dog sitting needs.”


“Ari was great! She kept us updated with messages and pictures and followed all of our instructions! She was absolutely essential to us enjoying a few days away without worrying about our pups. We have a very large dog ( 100lbs) and she handled him no problem.”


“Breana was fantastic to work with and made both me and my girlfriend feel very comfortable leaving our new puppy home with her for a few days while we were away. She was kind, considerate, and was very receptive to everything our puppy needed in her schedule. She was always quick to respond on check ups and let us know how things were going throughout the stay.”


“This was Christabel’s second time sitting for my cats. I appreciate her meeting me ahead of the sit to receive the keys and discuss recent changes to my cats’ care. I will definitely check her calendar for any future trips!”


About: I’ve around dogs my whole life and would love the opportunity to help take care of yours! Experienced caring for senior dogs, hyper active dogs, and dogs with anxious attachment I currently work a full time corporate remote job and do not have children so I can be available in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends I treat the clients home as my own and follow any instructions to a tee. I’m also an advocate for sending photos and communicating updates to the client

“Thank you for keeping us updated and sending pictures! You don't know how much we appreciate knowing someone like you is taking such good care of our fur baby while we're out of town 💜”


“Olesja did such a good job with our pup. He has some seriously special needs and Olesja was able to figure them out so quickly. He was so happy when we got back and our house was in great shape. We will absolutely be using Olesja again.”



About: All dogs are the best dogs. I have had multiple dogs from big to small. I've taken them out or watched them in a home as if they were my own. I am willing to even take dogs out of their home to parks or beaches to enjoy a change of venue. The pets I watch will be welcomed in my home with open arms to my other family members as well as my own dogs. It would be amazing to be able to earn money taking care of my favorite animals. I love being able to hang out with the furry pets which will make this summer fun as well as give me more opportunity to pay for my college tuition. I hope to meet some cute dogs soon!!

“Wesley has been taking care of our pets on 3 trips now and we really love him. He has shown proactive attitude in moments of stress and follows directions well plus he is very reliable and low maintenance:)))”


“Mia was outstanding! Over the years I have had very few sitters go above and beyond! We had a happy dog when we came home and a clean home, nothing feels better than coming home to that! Also Mia was thoughtful, caring and proactive from booking to the end of Rocky's care including follow up. Absolutely love her and will be hiring her again!”


About: I currently have 2 cats of my own. I have 10 years of dog and cat sitting experience and 5 years experience working with dogs and cats professionally. I have worked with hundreds of pets and have dealt with all temperaments. I have experience administering oral medications and with dog training. I am currently working part time so I am available for dog walks, dog or cat drop ins, or boarding most days of the week. I will treat your pets like they are my own! I try to make them as comfortable with me as possible, mimicing their regular home routine as much as possible when staying with them.
