1. Angelica A.

“So happy we found Angelica! From the moment she met our baby Daisy we knew we didn’t have to worry. She is very trustworthy, I feel very comfortable with her being in our house when we weren’t there. She is very thorough in her notes and pictures. Thank you Angelica for taking care of Daisy. We 100% recommend her!”


2. Kristy F.

“Kristy is fantastic! Whenever she visits our two cats she gives us detailed updates, pictures and is overall so kind! I feel so at ease knowing she is there taking care of them and understands any concerns I may have. My two shy cats who do not come out for any guests, come out and come close when she is with them!”


3. Kendall B.

“Kendall is super lovely and she looked after our two kitties so nicely. She is so friendly and kept us up to date and I felt so happy having her taking care of our fury family members. We got photo updates and messages every day too which was wonderful. Thank you so much Kendall for all that you do. We will be back in touch when we are away again :)”

5. Michael C.


“Mike did a great job while we were away. More than living up to our expectations, he made visits to our home twice a day right on schedule while keeping us up to speed in real time through video and pictures. Our dog is typically not too friendly with strangers under any circumstances, but Mike proved differently and our dog wound up showing genuine affinity with its caretaker. We highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate to use him again in the future.”

“Nicholas is always incredibly friendly and communicative! From the pictures he sends, it looks like my cats love him too. I know if I’m going away I can trust Nicholas to take good care of them.”


10. Haley G.
“Haley was amazing with our lab Holly. We had Haley stay at our house for a weekend. We completely trusted her, and had no concerns leaving Holly in her care. Holly is almost 5 and full of energy. Haley made sure she had ample fetch time, plenty of walks, and gave her love and snuggles in between. We appreciated that she was very responsive and sent us photos throughout the day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone for drop ins or overnights. We plan to continue to request Haley for all of our sitting needs!”

We'd definitely have Christen back to look after Claire again.”

About: I have a profound love for dogs that stems from my own experience as a dog owner. Sadly, my beloved dog passed away two years ago, but the bond we shared left an indelible mark on my heart. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment for dogs, and I'm committed to ensuring your furry friend receives the same level of care and affection. With years of experience in dog sitting, I am well-versed in handling various breeds and temperaments. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each dog. Your pup will be in good hands, and I look forward to creating a happy and comfortable experience for them while you're away. I’m usually not a very busy person so I have a lot of free time with my dog and hoping it can be with yours too! I provide loving and attentive pet care in both my home and my client's home. Having recently lost my own dog, I understand the importance of a safe and engaging environment. In my home, pets have access to toys, comfy bedding, and regular playtime. At a client's home, I follow their routines and instructions to ensure the pet feels comfortable and secure. Your furry friend will be well-cared for with lots of love and attention!


16. Juliette T.
“Juliette is an amazing pet caregiver that has watched my puppy numerous times, caring for her and ensuring that she is both happy and comfortable when I am away. She is responsible and highly capable of supervision for extended periods of time. I can’t recommend her enough!”


17. Gage B.
“Gage is the BEST! My pup LOVES him (I think more than she loves me), and she's a pretty anxious dog who is nervous to meet new people. Gage is super kind, responsive, and always is flexible to my requests and changes with a smile. He goes above and beyond -- taking my pup on long walks, to his local park, or to the beach to make sure she has the best time. Cannot recommend Gage enough - he is a rare GEM!”

Any animal would be lucky to have Shannon caring for them because I know she would go above and beyond to be sure they are comfortable, happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Shannon as a pet sitter.”

“Leaving your pet without someone is never easy. But leaving them in the care of Maura would be one of the best things you could do for your pets. She lovingly cares for all animals. Giving them love and lots of attention whenever she is around. She cares for young and old pets, even those with special needs and always does so like they are her own. Highly recommended!!”
