“Rachael stayed with our 2 girls for a week at our house. They loved her & we loved that they were in such great hands! While we were gone, we received numerous updates and pictures each day. We returned to an immaculate house! Very professional, Highly recommended!”


“Katelyn was wonderful! We hired her to housesit & stay with our dog while we were gone for 2 days. She is a sweet person, clearly loves dogs & was easy to make plans with. She and our dog were fast friends. She sent me regular updates on how he was doing w/ pics & responded quickly when I missed my pup & needed a check in. When we got back home, other than a very well-cared for & happy dog, you couldn't even tell she had been there. Everything was how we left it. Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks Katelyn!”


“Faith is so amazing! She has a gift and we are so happy we found her. Nala, our German shepherd took to her right away. And if you know anything about German shepherds, they are very fickle and don't connect with just anybody. I highly recommend Faith to stay at your home or whatever your need is with your puppies.”


“Kaden is very responsive and has taken good care of our two dogs and house twice. We feel very at ease when he is with our pets communicated well with us and left our house in excellent shape.”


About: I've had animals my whole life. I have house sat my friends and family's pets for years while they go on vacation. In my spare time I work with the animals at the Animal Refuge League both dogs and cats. They have provided different types of training for both cat and canine care. I work from home so I am able to house sit and still continue working. This allows me to be with youe pets as often as possible during your time away. I do not care for pets in my home since I have a cat and a dog myself. (They get watched by my roommate while I'm away)

“We are so happy with the care, attention and communication we got from Elizabeth! She was comfortable handling our 3, sometimes rowdy, pups and sent frequent pics and updates. We will definitely request her again! Top notch!!”


“Ashley is absolutely fantastic. She watched our dog all day, went on long walks, took pictures, and was extremely thoughtful about what was best to keep our dog comfortable and safe. If you're looking for someone reliable who actually cares about the animals she works with, Ashley is the one to help you”


“As usual, Dawn was fantastic with our JoJo. He was still mourning the loss of his "sister" Kali and our vacation only weeks after her passing could have been devastating. But the pictures and videos showed just how much he loves Dawn's company and how caring she is.”

“Ashley was great with Gus and Chloe, she was very communicative throughout the week and was flexible on a time adjust. I even heard from our neighbor she was very attentive to Gus and did a lot of outdoor playing. Would request Ashley again when needed.”

“We have used Elisa's services multiple times. She can be counted on to be on time and has an amazing repour with our dog. Multiple times our dog has had medical issues and she was fantastic, and has frequent communications with us. I would recommend her for any situation.”


“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Trie provided for our 13-year-old Maltipoo. He has a tough time with separation anxiety and often struggles with eating when we're away, but Trie was absolutely incredible with him. She stayed by his side, took him on several walks a day, and knew exactly how to encourage him to eat. Trie sent us frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. For the first time, we were able to truly relax on vacation knowing our fur baby was in such loving hands. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, kind, and attentive — exactly the kind of person you’d hope to find to care for your pet. We’ll definitely be booking with her again for any future travel!”
