Heather watched my dog and cat at my house and did everything I requested. Both my animals and home were well cared for. She also provided photos during the time I was away. What has been very impressive to me is her excellent communication. I would definitely recommend Heather for pet care/sitting!

Gracie was absolutely amazing with our two pups! We were given updates and pictures all throughout the day and never had to worry about a thing when we were out of town. We have used this service a lot and haven’t had anyone that can hold a candle to how great Gracie was! Will definitely be calling her again in the future!

Richard was wonderful and I will definitely reach out to him first whenever I need a sitter in the future. Richard was prompt and communicative. He kept in touch during our trip and sent photos. Forrest warmed up to him quickly during their meet and greet and was relaxed and happy when we got home. I have already recommended him to some friends. Thank you Richard for taking care Of our baby!

About: I had a pet dog Lucy since I was in 2nd grade. I would feed her, walked her, let her outside to play in the backyard, and made sure she had plenty of water. I cared for her. I'm in-between jobs right now so if you need help when you are on vacation, work late, or any other reason then let me know and I will help take care of your dog. I would care for them like they are my own. I will follow a schedule if you have one. I willing to communicate with you if you have concerns about your dog or anything else that matter.

Kenna did a great job with our energetic puppy! She was communicative, kept the house super clean, and was overall a joy to work with. My dog loved playing with her pup! This was our first time leaving our puppy so it was such a relief not having to worry! I love that she stayed overnight- it made things much easier. She walked the dog everyday and I could tell my dog was so happy (and tired) when we got home!

Lonie watched our two dogs while we were briefly out of town and WOW she did amazing! The house was spotless, the dogs were happy and even had their nails trimmed! She was easy to communicate with, asked great questions and was very thoughtful - even asking which time zone we’d be traveling to so her updates didn’t disturb us during late/early hours. I’d absolutely recommend her.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!

About: Hi! I specialize in puppy care, separation anxiety, and brachycephalic breeds. Having a Bulldog of my own has taught me firsthand how to handle the unique needs of smushy-faced dogs — from monitoring breathing to keeping them cool and comfortable. For anxious or velcro dogs, I provide a calm, attentive environment with plenty of reassurance. Puppies get the extra patience, structure, and supervision they need to feel right at home. 🐾 I work remotely full-time, which allows me to be home throughout the day. I do have occasional meetings during the week, but they are typically under 1.5 hours and scheduled in advance. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. I can accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to communicate my schedule ahead of time so you feel fully comfortable. I am fully attentive to the animals. I can provide multiple water/feeding bowls, cooling mats, toys, can give dogs medicine, and lots of love! I guarantee I will respect all boundaries and follow all your directions.

Rob stayed at our home overnight to care for our two dogs. He also did a bunch of drop ins. Both Rob and Heather are great. Hire them. You will be glad that you did, and more importantly, your furry family members will be happy and benefit greatly from their loving kindness, acts of friendship and service.

Rachael was so good with Juno! We were so happy to have someone stay with her and give her some normalcy while we were away. Rachael sent us updates, adorable photos, and Juno looked comfy and content in each one. We’re so happy to have found Rachael and we know Juno is too! We will book with her anytime we have to go on a trip!
