1. Nicholas K.

“Nicholas was very attentive to my dogs during a very cold sit. He was communicative and really paid attention to what they needed and was tidy about leaving the house.”


2. Katherine M.

“Katherine did a fantastic job with Farley. She sent pictures of him to help assure me he was being taken care of. You can tell she loves animals and enjoys her job. I will definitely use her again when I have the opportunity!”


3. Alyssa D.

“We are so grateful to Alyssa for taking such good care of Sophie. We left her for the 1st time in 6 years, and Alyssa took wonderful care of her and kept us at ease every day with updates and pictures. Sophie isn't easy, and she is like our child, so trust me when I say that you can trust Alyssa with your fur baby. We will not hesitate to call Alyssa when we go anywhere again, and now we have the peace of mind to make future plans!”


4. Ivanis L.

“Ivanis did everything this rather nervous owner asked. She even made two trips to get familiar with Piper and everything went well. I recommend without hesitation.”


5. Kyra H.

“We are so extremely pleased with the petsitting services Kyra provided while staying overnight to care for our 11 year old 60 lb lab mix Macy who had surgery three weeks prior. Kyra is so very kind and wonderful with our dog and she administered Macy’s daily arthritis meds. I know Macy misses Kyra already and so do I. Do not hesitate to have Kyra assist with your house and petsitting needs. She’s wonderful and we highly recommend her!”

“Elizabeth was an excellent dog sitter while I was away on vacation for a week. Archie felt comfortable with her right away during their meet and greet. She took great care of my Archie, communicated and shared pictures daily. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. She stayed at my place for the week and everything was perfectly in it's place when I got home. Will most definitely be using her again!”

11. Melissa M.
“Melissa is a dog whisperer. If I am not available, my 7 year old anxious yellow lab is happiest when Melissa is his temporary caregiver. I trust her completely to take care of my home and my anxious pup. She is dependable and communicative. She texts me pictures while I'm away so I know he is living his best life. We feel very lucky to have found Melissa!”


12. Kennedy R.

“Kennedy was so great with our sweet pups! They loved her & she was super communicative with me while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again!”




13. Rachel W.


“I am very happy with the service that Rachel provided and I cannot recommend her enough. She was able to help us out in a pinch when we needed someone to watch our dogs for 10 days with very little notice. Just before our trip, our older great dane needed knee surgery and we were nervous about leaving him with a sitter. Rachel put our worries at ease and was an excellent listener to our concerns and very patient with all of the care that he needed. She was diligent about his physical therapy and medications, and sent us frequent emails with pictures/videos while we were out of the country so we didn't worry once about the capable hands he was in. We are very happy to have found Rachel and will be using her again for our next vacations.”


14. Madeline C.

“Madeline did a fantastic job. She was very good at communicating and my babies were well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I would definitely hire her again.”


15. Ronald H.

“Ronald kept our pup happy and our house in order! We look forward to using his services again as he was super friendly and communicative!”


16. Lily D.

“Lily kept our sweet dog in our home and did a great job. She sent pics and kept us updated. We felt so relieved to have found her and had a great trip knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would highly recommend her.”


17. Janelle B.

“Janelle was so great with our cat while we were gone! She sent pictures while we were away and kept our place clean. I highly recommend her! Thanks so much Janelle!”


18. Chloe H.

“Chloe did a wonderful job. She was flexible with the times she came to do check ups with the pets and gave us daily updates. We hope to be able to have her watch over our pets in the future.”


19. Candice W.

“Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!”

About: I have cared for a wide variety of pets in my young adult life. I now help my parents care for our senior goldendoodle, and I have helped many friends and family look after their pets whenever I was available. I currently work in a local school system. My hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30-2:30. I am happy to look after your homes and pets both before and after work, and I would be more than happy to stay at your home if that is what is best for your pets! When I am in someone else's home, I will treat it with the utmost respect and care for it as if it was my own. I understand how important routine is for our pets, and I will do whatever I can in order to keep a consistent routine when caring for our furry friends.
