Beth took extra special care of our nervous poodle when a tropical storm happened to hit while we were gone. She was concerned when our poodle had trouble sleeping and figured out a way to make her more comfortable. Beth was really flexible even though we had to change a couple things about our original plan.

We took our first out of state trip without our dogs over the holidays. Edward came by before we left to meet the dogs and go through specifics. We also received a couple photos while we were gone that put our minds at ease. They appeared to be very well taken care of when we arrived home. I would definitely recommend Edward and hope to have him watch our dogs again in the future.

It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.

Sarah is exactly who you would want with your dog, if you love your dog. She is kind and sincere, as well as understands how important my dog is to me. I will not hesitate to contact Sarah every time I need a sitter/ walker/ friend for my dog.

Nina arrived a bit early, which was welcome, and came fully equipped! She was kind enough to allow a computer service person in to repair a laptop, who had unexpectedly announced their intention to appear, less than an hour before we were to leave. Our Boys loved her, and she kept us well informed, with pictures and texts. We were about half an hour longer than planned, which Nina accepted with good cheer. We paid her for the extra time, of course. A wonderful experience, and we’ll engage her, again, before we head back “north”. Thanks!

Taylor was fantastic staying with our elderly Great Dane. She was very responsible with his routines and needs and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We loved getting all of the adorable photos and hearing about all the snuggles she gave him while we were away!

Roshi was very attentive to the needs of my dog who has some behavioral problems. She understood her needs and paid attention to what helped and what triggered her. She has really great energy that my dog picked up on instantly when she met her and absolutely loves her! I felt so carefree and comforted during my vacation knowing that Roshi was caring for my pet as if it was hers. She’s the absolute best! Can’t wait to have her watch Cocoa again!

Charlie responded really quickly and then we set up a meet and greet. Our pup Frankie instantly warmed up to Charlie... she's pretty aloof with most people. We hope to use Charlie a lot!

About: Hi there! I’m 27 years old and have spent the last 12 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have two dogs of my own, so I fully understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with: Daily walks and exercise routines In‑home sitting and overnight stays Drop‑ins for feeding, playtime, and check‑ins Puppies, seniors, and pets with special instructions Administering basic medications and following detailed care plans Whether your pet needs a long walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just a quick check‑in, my goal is to give you total peace of mind and give your pet a safe, fun, and comfortable experience every time. I work full‑time, but I make plenty of room in my schedule for pet care. I’m available every morning before 8am, mid‑day during my lunch break, and in the evenings and nights. I’m also available 7 days a week, so whether you need early walks, drop‑ins, or evening/overnight care, I can reliably fit your pet into my routine. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all of their normal schedules, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime habits, so everything feels consistent for them. I treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, washing bowls, tidying up after pets, and following any house rules you set. I give each pet plenty of attention based on their personality—whether that means playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship—and I’m comfortable handling special instructions like medications, senior care, puppy routines, or specific behavioral needs. I also send regular updates, photos, and quick check‑ins so you always know how your pet is doing. For overnight stays, I maintain their nighttime routine and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for the entire time.

About: Loving care with one-on-one attention. Experienced with all breeds, including anxious and high-energy dogs. Safe, cozy home, car rides, fun walks, and regular photo updates! I work a remote, flexible schedule, giving me time to explore and adventure through new lakes, parks, and trails with plenty of flexibility for pet care. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment by meeting families, discussing special instructions, and ensuring a mutual connection for the best possible care experience.
