Michelle was awesome! She sent up pictures and updates multiple times and took great care of our 15 year old Aussiedoodle. She came to our home and everything was great when we came back. I will definitely book with Michelle again.

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!

About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.

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!

Lydia took very good care of our fur babies! She’s extremely prompt with her replies, arrived on time, gave daily updates, and most importantly ensured our pups got the best care while we were gone! I will definitely be rebooking with Lydia in the future!

Harmony was an excellent dog sitter!! She took such great care of my pup during our wedding weekend. She was very kind and professional. Harmony was so understanding and helpful during a chaotic wedding weekend and was able to keep my dog on his schedule despite all this. I really appreciated her flexibility with wedding logistics and Luke had so much fun with her. Highly highly recommend her to anymore!!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with playful puppies, independent cats, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my own cat every day, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Having my own pet has made me attentive to routines, behavior changes, and the small details that help animals feel safe and cared for. I also love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or giving them the attention and exercise they need. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get the playtime, walks, or quiet companionship they need. I believe pets feel most secure in their own home because it’s their safe space, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. Being able to care for them in that environment helps build trust and creates a stronger, more positive relationship, making the experience less stressful for both the pet and the owner.

Chloe did an amazing job with our two pups. One of our dogs had a last minute injury and had to take medicine while we were gone and Chloe handled it very well! She left our house in great condition and our boys were very happy to have her company. Chloe also sent a ton of photos to us which really helped me as this was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter.

About: Growing up, I helped care for my family's dog and regularly pet sat for neighbors' cats and dogs. I now have a cat of my own, so I truly understand the love and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind for a work trip or vacation. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and affection they need to keep their owners at ease. I recently graduated from graduate school and am enjoying a flexible schedule while waiting for my new role to begin this fall. In the meantime, I'm taking on a variety of work, which means I have plenty of availability to accommodate your pet care needs whether that's a regular daily walk, a last-minute drop-in, or an extended stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they stay in a secure, calm, and loving environment. I'm attentive, responsible, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands.

For the first time in many many years, I did not worry at all about my furry friends at home, while I was on vacation. Jamie is great and my guys love her. I know she took care of them just like they were her own. And she put up with all of their unique personalities.
