“Rebekah was amazing! She took the best care of our spoiled boxers and sent lots of updates. Great communication! We will definitely be rebooking with Rebekah.”
“Cathryn was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. She took very good care of them -- meals, treats and dog walking. There was plenty of snuggle time, too. She left an immaculate house. We will definitely ask Cathryn to sit for us again. Fortunate to have her! Thanks Cathryn!”
“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”

She was great, she sent pictures & our house was the same as when we left, our dogs were well taken care of and she even did extras like collecting our mail ect.. We have already booked another sitting and definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“Lauren was great and house sat our babies for over a week when we were out of town. She was great with communication, sent us photos every other day, and we came home to a clean home. We could tell our fur babies were being well cared for, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away! Thank you, Lauren!”

About: I care for 3 dogs, 9 cats, & more in a happy, healthy, and clean home. Animals and their wellbeing is central to my life at home. I'm happy to offer my caring attention to your family as well! I am a local middle school teacher who's off for the summer, so I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Open to long or short term work. Each species has it's own language, each breed it's own dialect, and each animal a unique personality. After years of caring for my own animals, I understand that nothing is more important than looking and listening when they attempt to communicate.
“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”
“Laura did a fantastic job watching my little guy, Cash! She sent me updates and photos which I always greatly appreciate and was flexible with some time changes at the last minute! We highly recommend her!!”
“Leslie was great! Chance loved her and she took the best care of him while we were out of town. See would send us daily updates and photos of her and him having a great time. Would definitely use her again and would definitely recommend Leslie to friends.”
“Siena was fantastic with our dog and cat. Our dog is very skittish, but Siena was very patient with her. She was on time and very friendly. We plan to hire Siena again!”

Scott was AMAZING!!!! He communicated throughout our entire trip and sent pictures of their twice daily walks. Gypsy did not miss her humans one bit:) The house was as clean as when I left it. I could not even tell he had stayed here! So glad we found Scott, it makes it much easier leaving town knowing Gypsy is in such loving and capable hands.
Cathryn took great care of our cat, Floyd, and our new (very energetic) dog, Daisy! She had been thorough with all communications and overall, a joy to work with. Our dog has some separation anxiety and Cathryn has been generous with her time, staying with her! We look forward to booking with her in the future.
Lyndsay is amazing!! She took care of our Sigi as if she was her own. She also stayed the night and made sure she was comfortable and took very good care of our house. Lyndsay is reliable and prompt in her communication and took care with medication and supplement instructions. We will be using her again soon and highly recommend her!!! Thank you again Lyndsay for putting our minds at ease while we were away.
Griffin did an exceptional job watching my two pups! He gave me plenty of updates while I was away and followed my instructions perfectly. He even walked them an extra time in the afternoon because he knew I was getting in a little later than planned. I will definitely rebook him again in the future!
Zoe was great for our furbabies. She was very attentive to their extra needs and anxieties, especially with the holiday fireworks. She even had our grumpy old man cat snuggling up at bedtime. I appreciated her communication and updates. I will definitely use Zoe again for future needs!
