“Emily is a great professional and the care she provided for Buttercup was everything we needed. Constantly communicating with us, great pictures and videos so we can see how things are going. Respectful with our dog schedule and home. We highly recommend Emily.”

“Kirk did an excellent job watching our sweet senior dogs! He sent photos every day and our home looked immaculate when we returned. His professionalism and communication were outstanding. We can’t wait to use him again!”

“Alayna is reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I have complete confidence in her and wouldn't hesitate to have her take care of our cat and house again. She's the best!”

“Jolie was easy to schedule with, super responsive, and took great care of my pups. She was extremely thorough in making sure she understood their needs, sent me lots of pics, and left the house very clean! Highly recommend.”

“McKenzie went out of her way to come meet my dog and I prior to her stay. She has a very kind presence and made me feel very comfortable leaving my pet and home in her care. Would absolutely book again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, when I started my own neighborhood dog-walking business. Since then, friends, family, neighbors, and referrals have trusted me with their pets, and spending time with animals continues to be one of my greatest joys. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s helping a puppy stay on track with crate training and routines, keeping an energetic dog active and engaged, or providing gentle, patient care for a senior dog, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know every dog as an individual. I understand that some dogs want long walks and adventures, while others are happiest relaxing at home with plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and personalized care throughout their stay. I’m currently working remotely Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule and will have plenty of time to prioritize walks and playtime depending on your dogs needs! Because I primarily offer house sitting and drop-in visits, my goal is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in the environment they know best. I take time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions before care begins. During house sits and drop-ins, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and companionship while ensuring pets feel safe and secure. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own and prioritize safety at all times, including secure leashing, monitoring pets outdoors, following household rules, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, loving, and attentive care.

“Cindy was so great with my cats and watching after my place while I was gone for a long weekend! She made time to come over and meet with me for my last minute booking and she sent many pictures throughout the time! So thankful to have her watch the cats!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ve also bottle-fed a litter of puppies, which required constant attention, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility—something I bring to every pet I care for. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy or high-energy pets. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I prioritize clear communication and reliability, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you know your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make the experience as easy and worry-free as possible for both you and your pet. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I typically provide care throughout the day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks every 4–8 hours (or more frequently if needed and discussed in advance). I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific schedule. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Because I travel locally, I prioritize nearby bookings to ensure I’m always on time and able to give your pet the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and any specific care requirements. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and boundaries to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order while you’re away. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and surroundings to prevent any escapes or unsafe situations. I also prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Kelly was an outstanding house sitter. She handled our dogs who were sick unbelievably well and we feel so fortunate to have had her watching the dogs. We have an older dog that required a fair amount of medication management. She allowed us to have a stress free vacation and for that we are so grateful. We highly recommend Kelly.”
“Betty is amazing with my dog, Hershey. She does a recap of the day every day with pictures included. She she has done the laundry and left the house cleaner than when I left. I would 100% use her every time.”


“Diana was fantastic, she took such good care of our pups! She sent a lot of updates and photos, and the dogs were obviously well and happy. One of our dogs is a finicky eater when she’s nervous but she did well with Diana too, so she obviously felt very happy and comfortable with her. We’ve used a lot of dog sitters and Diana is at the top of the list. We will definitely be booking her again.”

“Meisha did a wonderful job with our pups! She house-sat for us for a few days. House looks good and the dogs are very happy! She was great about sending pictures and updates. Our dog is really high energy and nothing was destroyed so that says a lot! She was very responsible. Would definitely use her again!”

“Michelle was great. She was very active in communication and sent lots of pictures. My house was in good order. My animals seem very happy and normal. She stayed for 5 days. I would recommend Michelle.”

“Kaitlyn watched Coco and Charlie and I’m honestly someone who doesn’t trust people easily, especially when it comes to my dogs. Both of them need meds and have their own quirks, so it’s not simple. She handled everything so well. I didn’t have to worry or check in constantly, which says a lot for me. They were calm, cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. You can tell she actually pays attention and cares, not just going through the motions. I’d have her watch them again without hesitation!”

“Angelinne was great! She communicated with us daily and sent pictures. She stayed overnight with our cat and gave him the companionship we were looking for. Would recommend!”

“I just had experience with Katie who stayed at the house and watched the pups! She is great and absolutely no complaints and the pups enjoyed her as well. Definitely recommend!!”

Alayna was excellent. She took care of our two full sized German Shepherd dogs over our extended 20 day vacation out of the country with no problems. She was communicative on questions with the house and sending photos of the pups. She has my highest possible recommendation!

I almost don’t want to tell anyone how much we LOVED Lauren because she’ll get too busy to sit for us. Lauren was so friendly, took such good care of our house and dogs, and sent updates and photos daily. And the dogs loved her! They snuggled on her every chance they got. Cannot recommend her enough, except for those time periods when we need her, okay?

Elizabeth was great with my dog Beans. I can’t always take her with me because she can be aggressive towards other dogs and Elizabeth did great at making sure beans was well taken care of and walked despite her issue. She sent pictures and updates everyday and was very kind and easy to work with!

Abaigeal watched our puppy, senior dog, and cat for five days over a weekend holiday. She took our puppy on many walks and hikes, and sent really good photos of these excursions. Our puppy has trouble trusting new people, but she seemed to warm up to Abaigeal quickly for her! Our home was left in a great state and she made it easy for us to come home from traveling and relax.

Meisha did an amazing job watching Pongo! Her communication was 10/10, which gave me so much peace of mind, especially since we were going to be out of service for a few days. We came home to a clean house and a calm, happy dog. She provided lots of updates and was very respectful of Pongo’s initial uncertainty, giving him the space and time to warm up to her at his own pace.

Rachel was communicative from first message through a long house sit. She sent daily photos, took great care of our pups and our house while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and hope we able to utilize her services again in the future. We felt lucky to have her while we were away.

Our dog Rye was in the best care with Sarah. She was very communicative about her schedule, how Rye was doing and sent the best photos of him. You can tell he was at ease with her. Sarah is definitely a dog person and attentive to their needs. Our dog has bad arthritis and she was great about giving him his medication, monitoring his stiffness and reducing his activity if needed. It was so nice to be able to to feel confident that Rye was well taken care of on our trip and will definitely be using Sarah again! She also stayed at our house and we came out to a very clean home!

Eyslee did an amazing job taking care of our pets this week! She provided regular updates and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog and cat looked so happy and comfy with her. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Eyslee again in the future!
