We couldn’t be happier with Brionna’s performance watching our beloved 14 year old puppy. We’ve never been away from her for 5 days before and we could tell from the wonderful pictures Brionna sent that she was relaxed and happy, which made it a relaxing trip for us. I’m not in the habit of writing reviews, but she deserves lots of praise for what she did, looking out for our house as well as being a great dog sitter!

Our dogs love Crispin because she gives them so much care and love. We felt so comfortable going abroad and trusting her too care for our senior boy with a heart condition. We always know what the boys were doing due to her excellent communication and photo skills.

Iris is awesome. She took care of my three dachshunds one of which is a four month old puppy. She sent me daily updates with pictures . I think my house was cleaner when I got home than when I left. I would highly recommend Iris.

Natalie was amazing! She took great care of our Annie (who can be quite skittish with new people.) Annie was happy and comfortable when we returned home. Natalie is Completely responsible, mature, and lovely to be around. She took photos with Annie (added music to them) and sent them to us. Thank you Natalie!

We love having Anya pet sit for our dog, Biscuit! Biscuit is very energetic and can be wary of new people, but he warmed up to Anya quickly and is extremely comfortable with her. Biscuit also requires heart and joint medications, and Anya is great at administering those to him. We completely trust Anya with Biscuit, and have started having her house sit for us when she’s in town. She’s friendly, reliable, and most importantly, genuinely cares about the doggies!

Natalie proved to be an exceptional dog and house sitter. She showed great care and patience with our shy, vocal dog, who usually takes time to trust new people. Natalie maintained consistent communication and provided regular updates throughout her stay. Upon our return, we found our home in immaculate condition. For peace of mind during your absence, I highly recommend hiring Natalie!

Daniel was great watching my two Dalmatians for four nights. Our two dogs can be a handful because they have big personalities and our male can be quite stand offish to start. Daniel was not deterred and took it slow to gain their trust and affection. He took them for walks every day too.

I never leave reviews but felt compelled to do so because Lennea is incredible. It's never easy to trust someone to stay in your home and watch your precious fur baby but Lennea made the entire experience so comfortable allowing my boyfriend and I to truly enjoy our week-long vacation. Where do I start? She was communicative, and kind, sent daily updates, and left our home perfectly neat. She took incredible care of our dog and took him on a daily adventures. She sent us the most beautiful pictures of Bradley each day, followed his strict dient and ensured he got his medicated bath as needed. I cannot reccomend her enough, truly, book her now.

I offer flexible services to accommodate your needs. My rates are affordable, starting at $20.0/hr, depending on your care needs.

I am familiar with the Heimlich Maneuver for dogs, emergency pet hospital locations, and how to prevent and break up dog fights.
