1. Heather & Robert K.
“Heather was great for our overnight trip. She sent plenty of picture and updates on the animals through her entire stay. We had never left the animals with someone they didn't know for an overnight trip so we were a bit nervous on how things would go. It went so well that we will be using her again for a trip in the near future.”
2. Erin S.
“I went on a week vacation and Erin stayed at the house my my two dogs . She provided updates regularly. The service was excellent! It is really nice to know this service exists when leaving your pets on an extended trip .”

4. Melisa G.
“Melisa did an excellent job of house-sitting our two dogs! She really went above and beyond to take care of them and the dogs absolutely loved her. We are very grateful and we will definitely hire her again!”
5. Victoria C.
“Victoria was great. She stayed for about a week with my older pups. They did great with her and she took great care of them. She took good care of the house and everything was tidy and great when we returned. It was great peace of mind having her at home with the pups ... I didn't have to stress about them getting sick while staying at someone else's home. I would definitely use Victoria again. Thanks so much , Victoria.”
6. Brianna W.
“This is like maybe the 5th time we’ve hired Brianna for house and pet sitting and she continues to be the best. Highly communicative, sends lots of pictures and updates daily, and is very attuned to my animals and their needs. Will continue to have Brianna again and again!”

About: **I am currently available for overnight stays in your house. I work a weekday job, but weekends are free, with about a small 4 hour gig I have on Sunday evenings. Weekday sitting is available, but know that I will be gone for 6-8 hours on those days. I require a Meet & Greet before watching your pet.* I am available for dog walking/drop-in services @$20 per visit, but as stated above, not during standard weekday hours. I love all pups -- big and small. I have owned dogs all my life, and I currently have two rescues- a Pit mix and a Staffordshire Terrier. I volunteer with both a dog rescue where I foster dogs in my home, as well as an outreach program where I help provide assistance and offer advice to those who need a little extra help caring for their dogs. In the past, I also have worked for a doggie daycare. I currently work a retail job during the day, but it has a set schedule so I will be available those days for the doggies! If weekend care is needed, I can get the time off to take care of your pooch - just let me know a few weeks ahead of time! I am currently not accepting new clients. Though all I really want to do is play with dogs all day, my schedule is quite full. I never let a dog out of my sight. I love to build a bond with any dog I meet so they will feel comfortable around me. Also keeping toys and treats on-hand in case they need a little extra enticing. ;)

11. Laurie P.
“Laurie was so helpful even with a last minute request. She went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable including my dog with anxiety who was in a new place. Extremely grateful!”
12. Winnie H.
“Winnie was the best! My cats are both old and have different care requirements, but she followed all directions thoroughly and even sent us the cutest picture updates everyday! She is quick to respond and consistent with her updates. Highly recommend!”
13. Lindsay H.
“Lindsay is the best!! I had the wonderful opportunity of having Lindsay to house sit my two fur babies, Nina (cat) and Sasha (dog). She was very attentive to both and even took Sasha walking through the neighborhood. She kept me updated with text messages, videos, and pics. Both of my pets warmed up to her rather quickly and it was as if I was never gone. I highly recommend Lindsay and plan to rebook with her very soon! If your looking for a great sitter then don't hesitate to book Lindsay. You won't regret it.”
14. Erin S.
