“Carolyn is fantastic. Can't recommend her enough. One of our dogs was recovering from an injury requiring 3x day medication and wound cleaning during the 5 night house/dog sitting. His healing progressed well under Carolyn's care. Even our vet surgeon was impressed with how much his healing progressed at his check-up 3 days after my return. What a relief to be on a work trip and know my dogs were in such good hands. The daily texts and pictures were lovely. Carolyn even taught our small dog to be more confident going in/out of the dog door and stop slipping through the gate to bark at the back door!”
“Dustin is my dog’s best comfort when she realizes I am going away. She is crazy active and Dustin is so great with her. She most likely forgets I am gone as soon as she sees him coming up through the window. Amazing fast communication and always is flexible to make things work for everyone’s needs.”
“Liz did such a great job taking care of our dog Sully. She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and I could tell right away our pup would be in good hands. She made sure to give us daily updates and was super flexible with short notice scheduling changes. Thanks Liz!”
“Natalie was amazing! I felt so safe leaving my two kitties in her hands. She gave me through updates and pictures every day, including how they were eating and general activity levels. I could tell my cats really enjoyed having her there. She also went above and beyond cleaning my place before she left! Safe to say I’ll be booking with Natalie again ☺️”
“We recently hired Mel to house sit and take care of our dog and cat while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, they were professional, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. Our pets absolutely adored them—it was clear they were in caring and capable hands. The house was spotless when we returned. Mel kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. We would absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house sitter.”
“Andrea did an amazing job with Ollie! Ollie was a little anxious meeting someone new but she was very patient and sweet with her. She’s an excellent dog sitter with a lot of experience. I will definitely be booking with her in the future! 😊”
“Wow! What can I say about Holly! We absolutely love her and so do our dogs. She did a great job with the dogs and had a great connection with them. We will definitely use Holly's services again!”
“Absolutely wonderful! My girl was so well loved, cared for, took her ok so many walks and adventures and was such a great communicator. Thank you Janessa for being amazing!”
“Angelica was so great. She was flexible when we had flight delays, sent lots of photo, and took such great care of our pup. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so much for watching Tate!!”
“Sharon took wonderful care of my two young crazy dogs and two senior cats. She left my babies so happy and my house looked beautiful when I got home. So nice to come home to a clean house and happy critters!”
“Leaving our dog in Chynna's care was the easiest and most wonderful decision I've ever made. I made a last-minute NYE house-sitting request and not only was Chynna quick to respond and do a meet and greet beforehand, but they were incredibly comforting to my dog during the fireworks. They snuggled and soothed my pup while they shivered and panted, making sure he wZ well taken care of before we got home from our NYE party. Overall, this was a great experience and we will be calling Chynna again to take care of our pup.”
“Karyn Is puppy was everything we were looking for and more. Attuned to dogs and people (and kids too!), responsible, kind. It was easy leaving our pup as well as our house under her care. So grateful! We will be reaching out again. 🙏❤️🐶”
“Brenna took excellent care of our house and our dog for 10 days. We got plenty of pictures and updates. She clearly loves animals and we couldn’t be more pleased by the care she took. We came home and our house looked great and our dog is so happy and relaxed. Thank you Brenna!”
“Chloe was an excellent housesitter for my dog Brody. Great meet & greet to make sure we chatted through all the details and questions. She struck a great balance of communication with regular updates to let me know how things were going but also allowing me to relax on vacation. House was also well taken care of on my return. Will definitely book with Chloe again!”
“Jordan cuddled with my old gal and spoiled her with more walks than she normally gets! He was responsive, sent photos, and she was healthy and happy when I got home.”
“This is the second time I have booked Kaitlyn to stay with my dog and two cats and she did a wonderful job again. She sends lots of photos and updates and it’s clear all of them enjoy having her here.”
“Morgan is a great house/pup sitter. She originally would sit for my elder dog and now she does it with my VERY high energy puppy. All around great. Very responsive.”
“We can’t recommend Jacob highly enough! He has watched our beloved dog, Dodger, on three different occasions, and each time has been absolutely wonderful. Dodger lights up when he sees Jacob and clearly loves spending time with him and his dogs. It’s such a comfort knowing that while we’re away, Dodger is not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely happy—running, playing, and socializing in a spacious and loving environment. Jacob is incredibly professional, responsive, and kind. He keeps us updated, which gives us such peace of mind, and it’s clear he truly cares about Dodger as if he were his own. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your dog, especially when they mean so much to you—but Jacob is that rare gem. We feel so lucky to have found him!”
About: For the past five years, I’ve raised my rescue—an energetic Great Pyrenees/Irish Wolfhound mix—from a rowdy puppy into a mild-mannered adult. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and just how much love (and fur) a big dog can bring into your life. I’ve handled everything from training and socializing to managing separation anxiety and grooming needs. Now that he’s settled, I have the time, energy, and heart to care for more animals—whether they’re playful pups, gentle seniors, or anything in between. I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day and evening with some notice. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, long walks, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet happy and your routine smooth. When I care for pets in their own homes, I prioritize keeping their routines consistent and their environment stress-free. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, staying overnight, or just keeping them company while you're away, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely—down to the last treat or tummy rub. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else—and I take that seriously. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication every step of the way.

Kelsey W.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kelsey. She has been an absolute gem of a dog walker for my pup, David. From day one, it was clear that Kelsey genuinely cares — not just about doing her job, but about making sure David feels safe, loved, and completely at ease. She goes above and beyond every single time, whether it’s adjusting her schedule to help out or spending extra time to ensure David is comfortable and happy. She’s incredibly consistent, reliable, and trustworthy — I always know David is in good hands. Kelsey is also an excellent communicator, keeping me updated and always making sure I know how things are going. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and kind. We’re so lucky to have her in our lives!”
