“I booked Christine for two nights of house sitting my dog and cat and she did a great job! She took the time to understand their routine and needs. Both my girls were instantly comfortable with her, she kept the house tidy, and she kept me updated throughout the day with pictures. I will be booking Christine again in the future and highly recommend her to look after your pets.”


“Basil was great! She is very accommodating and took great care of our two 15 year old Havanese. This included cleaning up after them and she did this willingly. I would highly recommend her,”


“Riley was very good and I would recommend him to annyone and use him again! I texted him daily to check on the pups and he always responded back! Very nice and I’m a nervous dog mom so he was great!”


About: You’re a loving pet parent and you want someone who will care for your pets with the same care, attention, and reliability that you do. Whether you’re heading to work, out for the day, or away for the weekend, I’m here to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. While I may not have years of formal pet sitting experience, I bring years of hands on experience as a pet parent to two golden retrievers - one full of energy, and one a senior with special care needs. I’ve also frequently cared for friends and neighbors pets, providing everything from walks, playtime, and medication support. As a law enforcement and military spouse you can trust that your pets and your home will be safe and in great care. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pets like my own with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. Being a self-employed mental health therapist and a stay at home dog mom means I have flexibility in my week to care for your pet. While caring for your pet in your home I will follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I welcome you to share preferences for feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, administering medication, and other needs. Your pet will also receive plenty of positive attention and I will take care of any other details we discuss so you know that your pet is safe and happy when you are away.

“Dana is an amazing pet sitter! Awesome communication and cute photos of my dog🫶 they handled my garden, house plants, and chickens too! Everything was amazing. I couldn't recommend them to pet sit more!”


“Chris watched my two dogs for a few days and did a great job! I received regular updates with pictures and notes on how they were both doing. He showed a lot of respect for my place and left it exactly the way I turned it over to him. He really has a way with dogs, both of mine love him! He really put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely count on him again, and highly recommend him.”


“Shermont'e was very respectable and patient with our dogs, (our dogs can be shy meeting new people). He constantly gave us updates on how they were doing, and that our most shy dog warmed up to him by the end of his stay! 10/10 would recommend!!”


“Courtney arrived 15-min early before we needed to leave. She did an outstanding job with our puppies while we were away. No accidents in the house! She occasionally sent us photos of the puppies while we were away. Courtney is a person of good character and work ethic you can trust.”


“Hesitant to leave a review because I don’t want to share Angelina!!! Angelina is absolutely amazing to my pups and my go to person for dog care. I could not recommend enough! I have one 5Y golden Aussie and one 2Y GSD Aussie (who can be quite tough to manage) and Angelina does so well with both!”


“Devaney was great! My dog Junie takes a little extra time to warm up to people- Devaney was patient, allowing Junie to slowly build comfort. Devaney was communicative, sending pictures throughout the weekend, and left my house very clean! Would definitely recommend”


“We had a wonderful experience using to Kelly to house sit for our pups. She took care of them as if they were her own and provided many amazing photos and updates throughout. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Glenn was fantastic! He housesat for us and provided excellent care for our dog. Additionally, he provided updates on a daily basis and, upon return, our home was as neat as the day we left. Without a doubt we would request Glenn again.”


“We would absolutely recommend having Shari care for any of your pets while you are away. We went overseas for 15 days and hired Shari to stay at our house to care for our 4 cats and 2 huskies. She was amazing. The dogs had a ton of walks, all animals were well taken care of. Shari was also an excellent house sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Shari again for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Shari!!”


“Liz was such a lifesaver for us this past week when we needed to be out of town. She kept us super informed of the day's events (including lots of pics of our 2 dogs and cat) and wasn't shy about asking questions on anything that was not clear. I was so impressed she got both of our dogs to behave on a walk at the same time :D We had great communication all day and it was obvious she took excellent care of the boys, as they were not at all stressed upon our return. We will definitely be calling on Liz again in the near future.”


“Dalvane is simply the best dog sitter ever. He took exceptional care of our boy and stayed in contact with us, sending photos and updates. We feel so lucky to have found him!!!”


“Michael was awesome! Took great care of our girl and kept us posted with pictures and messages. So glad we decided to have him stay in our home as our dog is older and we didn't want to disrupt her routines. Would highly recommend and plan to use again.”
