“Christopher has been great for drop-in visits with my two dogs. My 5 year old doodle Ruthie is nervous around strangers and he put her at ease pretty quickly. My 4 month puppy Bodhi loves his play time with Christopher as well. He’s very attentive with Bodhi’s puppy antics and makes sure the dogs don’t play too rough. Christopher’s prompt communication before and after visits and genuine care for animals definitely earns him a 5 star recommendation!”



“Jackie responded very quickly and took great care of our cats. One of them needed antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection but I had peace of mind that he was getting better since she sent report cards with photos with every visit.”


“We appreciated Morgan’s great photos and updates while we were out of town. After meeting Morgan we were confident we were leaving our beloved kitty in good hands!!”


“Amy has been a great help to us! As a nurse my schedule can be unpredictable - but she is always reliable, kind and nurturing towards our dogs! I’m so grateful to have her around to help us with our two large and hyper dogs!”


“Super detailed reports were very appreciated during our busy trip! She also got Tito to play which isn’t easily done as a “stranger” to Tito. Would definitely recommend!”


“Kayla took such good care of my pup! It was so nice not to have to worry while I was gone. Kayla provided pics and a helpful update for each visit, which I so appreciated. I’d highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”

About: I am a second year zoology major with the intention of further education in animal care. I have cared for the family dogs for just about six years (a combined number of four at this point). I am my family and friends' go to sitter. I am reliable and consistent. I am comfortable with pretty much anything, and have plenty of experience with reactive/aggressive dogs. During the summer I work full-time, and I'm a full-time student during the school year, however I don't have much going on outside of that and have plenty of time for drop-in care throughout the day. I’m also totally okay with overnight stays. Unfortunately, my own dogs don't allow for me to watch dogs within my own home. However, I'm happy to fulfill whatever responsibilities necessary within yours.

“Christian and Holly are wonderful with our dog. They are thoughtful, careful, and dependable folks and we feel very comfortable with them providing drop in visits, walks, and playtime for our pup. Highly recommend!”


About: I have a deep, genuine love for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to wise old souls, I connect with each dog on their level—with patience, kindness, and respect. Whether a dog is shy, playful, anxious, or bold, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. Building trust through gentle care and positive interaction is at the heart of everything I do. For me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re companions, and I’m honored every time I get to be part of their world. I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of scheduling needs. With at least a week’s notice, I can usually arrange my calendar to fit your preferred times. If something comes up on shorter notice, I’ll do my very best to be available and make it work whenever possible. Flexibility and reliability are important to me, and I’m always here to help when you need a caring hand for your pets. Whether caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and sense of security. I offer familiar routines, gentle companionship, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality. I do have a calm, well-behaved cat at home, and I’ll take every precaution to ensure both pets feel safe and at ease if they’ll be sharing space. My goal is to create a peaceful, loving environment—wherever your pet is staying—so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

David M.
“I've used David multiple times now, and I trust him completely with Lady Fox (and coming in and out of my home). He's incredibly responsive, even when plans change at the last minute—which, as any dog owner knows, can be a lifesaver. Beyond the logistics, it's clear he genuinely enjoys spending time with her. Every time I return, she's clean, calm, and clearly well-cared-for. I never worry when she's with him, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. Highly recommend.”
