“Andrea was great with my dog! I felt he was in good hands the entire time I was away. She communicated well and sent tons of pictures! I will definitely be rebooking with her for future dog sitting needs.”
“Destiny was an amazing sitter and house guest! Our old boy, Blue, loved her from the moment he met her. She stayed in our home for 16 days and not only took incredible care of Blue, sending regular updates and pics/videos, but she went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, watering plants and even cleaned the house before she left, leaving us a sweet note. She was communicative, professional, and has a high level of attention to detail. We will 100% be using her services again!”
“Actually seem to get along, just great with my somewhat shy and reluctant cat. She patiently waited for him to come to her over a five day. And by the end they were kissing. The house was clean as I had left it and she even straightened her bed. I feel she’s responsible and I will be home in her again I am sure.”
“Laura is an amazing pet and house sitter! My pup can have some behaviors nand trouble meeting new people, but he immediately loved Laura and felt comfortable with her. My kitties too are very skiddish, but from photos they seemed to be comfortable with Laura’s presence. Not to mention, I came home to a clean house which enabled me to relax after a busy weekend away. Thank you so much and the fur babies cannot wait to see you again!”
“This was our first booking with Jordan and she was great! She stayed at our house for 5 days with the dogs. Was on time and was with the dogs the majority of the time we were gone. Sent photo updates as well. House was nice and in order when we returned. Would recommend.”
“Trinity was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs. I have a Belgian malinois and a Staffordshire, 11 and 5 respectively, and both felt very comfortable around trinity. In the past my dogs would have nervous stomach problems with other sitters, but trinity made them feel loved and comfortable, and when we came back from our trip they were happy and loved. Trinity kept us in the loop the entire trip and respected our home and dogs like her own. Will definitely be hiring trinity again in the future.”
“Evelyn was awesome! She took such care to spend time with my two dogs in my apartment while I was out of town for the night as one of them has really bad separation anxiety. She administered medication and took them for walks and they were calm. It gave me such peace of mind and I’ll be booking again! Thank you! 😊”

She also sends me puppy updates with pics :) And the plus is, her two dogs are great and Zoey loves to go over there to play.”
About: I've kept dogs, cats, and multiple exotics throughout my life so I offer my services for most animal companions, not just dogs and cats 😊 I've also reared litters, administered medications, and trained all of my own pets. I genuinely enjoy a life surrounded by animals and couldn't imagine having it any other way. I am currently only working part-time at the moment so my open availability is ideal for stopping in and taking care of your pet anytime, any day. You set the rules. I'm here to abide by them and make sure to care for them just as you would! Just a few suggestions and requests: -If needed, give minimum walk and/or play times. -Let me know if they need fed and how much they eat. -I'm comfortable with administering medications as long as you provide precise instructions on how it's to be taken and measurements. -Please let me know in advance if your dog is dog-reactive and/or wary of strangers that way we can avoid other dogs and/or people if we must go on a walk. One of my own dogs is dog-reactive so no worries at all, I know that life! -Also, if they must wear a muzzle or anything extra on walks. -It helps to know any special commands. "Potty," "sit," "stay," "release," etc. -Let me know if your pet has any behavioral "quirks" I should know about i.e. triggers and resource guarding. I have some experience training dogs with behavioral issues and know how to maneuver around these issues. If there's anything else I must know or any weird requests, don't be shy, just let me know! Also, expect pictures with every visit! I can't wait to meet your babies!

Francesca Isabella R.
“I just had to erase three lines of Q's because my cats walked across my keyboard, then shut off my computer! Usually, they hide under the bed when someone comes over...not Francesca. The first time she walked into my apartment, both cats were at her feet, wanting to play. That doesn't happen...even with my family! She just has that type of personality animals respond to. She's like that with people too. She is such a gentle, caring spirit and so unselfish with her time and attention. You couldn't find a better person to care for your animals. I think she'd take them all home with her if she could.”
