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.

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.

Highly recommend Taylor! Our two frenchies were well taken care of in our home and loved while we were away. Taylor is very communicative and provides updates throughout the stay. She was also very accommodating to our travel schedule. We will definitely book with Taylor again if she is available knowing our dogs and home are in safe hands!

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.

Tatyana was amazing with Ella and took really good care of her! She formed a special bond with her and made sure she did not feel lonely. I was nervous leaving Ella almost after 2 years post covid with a sitter but I cannot thank her enough for being so loving to Ella. She went above and beyond and even got our mail and watered my plants and fed the fishes. She kept us updated with videos and pics all the time! I was relaxed knowing my baby was in good hands!! Will def use her again! She is awesome!

Belinda and her husband were absolutely awesome. I was worried about leaving Elle with someone other than family. Elle loved them instantly. Belinda sent pics and notes on Elle’s stay while I was away. She had a huge stuffed dog that Elle loved. Belinda said Elle even took her toys, one by one, to lay with the stuffed dog. I will definitely recommend Belinda and use her again! Thanks Belinda for a wonderful experience with a sitter for Elle!!!

Elizabeth was so communicative while my partner and I were abroad and away from our babies (dog and cat)! She clearly made time to play with them and get to know their personalities which makes a huge difference when you’re an ocean away and your pets aren’t used to you being gone so long. Would definitely book with her again! Thank you so much Elizabeth!

Amazing experience with Emily, who dog sat our two fur babies overnight. Our mini dachshund is shy with most people but immediately ran up to Emily. This was our first time using an overnight dog sitter, and we had no worries or concerns, which is a huge relief. Dogs were calm and happy when we got home. Highly recommend Emily for your dog sitting needs!

You’ll love Charles and your pets will too. Our new puppy was sad we left him for a few hours, but Charles was there for him. While we were away we checked in, and Charles promptly replied and even sent a photo. Hire Charles- you will be glad you did.

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!

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.

I can’t say enough good things about Laci. She took such good care of our big needy golden doodle while were on vacation and sent me several pictures daily. She left our house super clean and went above and beyond any expectations we could have had. I highly recommend her!!!
