“Isabella is an absolute queen!!! We left our puppy and two kitties with her for the weekend, and it was the first time we ever used a service like hers. We got twice daily updates and lots of pictures and got to come home to our space exactly as we left it. Worth absolutely every single penny.”
“I absolutely cannot rave about Lee enough! The best sitter for our two crazy bulldogs. Very patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable on how to handle all dog behaviors. Extremely responsive and respectful as a house sitter and put my mind at ease at all times as someone who constantly worries about my pups. I could not recommend him enough.”
“Kelley and Matt were absolutely fabulous! They went above and beyond and did everything requested, as well as left my house cleaner than when I left. My pups were super happy and very well cared for. I highly recommend them and will absolutely rebook next time I need to be out of town.”
“Stephany did a great job watching our dog, Laila, while we traveled home for the holidays. We just moved here so it was important to us to have someone stay with her while she was still adjusting to the new apartment. Stephany was very responsive, flexible, and communicative when caring for Laila. Stephany followed our care instructions and sent us plenty of updates and photos throughout her sitting. It was just what we needed to so we wouldn’t have to worry and we could enjoy our time with our family!”
“Amazing job!! Followed all instructions perfectly and respected my home while I was gone. Went above and beyond what I asked—would definitely book again in the future.”
“Excellent sitter. My little Rita is shy a first and she was so calm and patient with her. send my photos and updates on her. will defiantly use again”
“The best sitter ever! So caring, very kind and loving to my animals. Sent great pictures. My animals love her like family. Thanks for the excellent house sitting”
“Josie was very kind and respectful of my house. I barely could tell She was even here. She was very responsive and sent me pictures and videos daily while I was gone. My dog seemed happy, we’ll use her again!”
“Brenda was amazing w/ my 16 year old cat, Teddy. He instantly loved her. She was very conscientious and great at communicating updates about him. I would definitely book her again.”
“Another wonderful experience working with Keonia. She brings such a comfort to us when we travel. Our dog loves her and is always in good spirits when we return. Keonia is a thoughtful house guest as well. Thank you!!!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my Max! I appreciate the love and attention you gave him so I would not worry while away. My departure time and date changed several times and it was a chaotic time for me and truly grateful for your flexibility.”
“We had a couple hiccups with our phones sending but Tiffany was very communicative, sent a lot of pictures. Quora was obsessed playing with her. I think the dogs enjoyed having her stay over and would love booking her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, adaptability, and genuine understanding that every animal is different. I have hands-on experience with anxious, reactive, high prey drive, and hard-to-motivate dogs, including dogs who are fearful, overstimulated, or simply uninterested in treats or traditional approaches. I’m open-minded about training and behavior support, and I believe success comes from learning the individual dog in front of you rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method. My professional background in healthcare and hospitality shaped how I care for both people and animals: with attentiveness, empathy, calm communication, and reliability. To me, pet care is an extension of that work. Animals deserve the same patience, understanding, and compassion we offer our human loved ones — honestly, maybe even more. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to be highly available and adaptable to both you and your pets’ needs. I’m taking this time to intentionally explore my next professional chapter, and in the meantime, I’m genuinely excited to spend more time doing something I love: caring for animals. Whether your pet needs consistency, patience, extra attention, or just a reliable human while you’re away, I’m happy to provide thoughtful, dependable care. I believe pets feel safest when their routines, boundaries, and personalities are respected. I prioritize calm, attentive, and reliable care while making sure animals feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, energy levels, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can adapt my approach to each individual animal. I’m experienced with anxious, reactive, and sensitive pets, so safety during walks, introductions, feeding, and play is always a top priority. I’m also careful about doors, leashes, harnesses, triggers, medications, and maintaining the routines owners already have in place. In a client’s home, I treat both the space and the animals with respect and professionalism. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home, so I value communication, dependability, cleanliness, and consistency just as much as affection and fun.
“Our favorite sit ever! Our dog, Patty, absolutely adored Ralitsa and her pup, Milo!!! You can tell how happy Patty was in every video - Ralitsa is so great about sending videos, pictures, and updates consistently throughout the stay. 10/10 would book (and already have booked another sit with Ralitsa and Milo)”
“Kaelynn was an amazing house sitter! She did a great job taking care of my dog and two cats. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos. Communication was quick everytime and the house was spotless! I highly recommended her!”
“Madison house/dog sat for us while we were out on vacation. She did a wonderful job keeping us updated and left the house in perfect shape. We will definitely be booking her again for our sitting needs in the future!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch our big boy! Tiffany sent updates and took incredible care of my boy Sunny. He is strong and a tough walker and she was perfectly comfortable with him and walking too. She took incredible care of our home and left it better than we left it. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to be in our home and stay with our furry one!”
“Tamarine watched our high-maintenance pups for 2 weeks while we were out of the country and our dogs had a great time! They were well loved and cared for, which was a HUGE weight off as we traveled. Each day we received photo updates that made us smile and made the guilt of leaving them fade away. Tamarine worked with our younger pup to help her with pulling while walking and also focusing from distractions. It's obvious this work has stuck, as she is a new dog when she walks! She respectfully waits for other dogs to pass and doesn't lunge at or jump on passers by. Our older, grumpy chihuaua was also charmed by Tamarine. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Hannah took care of our 11 week old puppy while we were away for 4-5 hours. She was very punctual and professional. Although our puppy is a handful with a lot of energy, she took good care of him, took him out to play and walk and sent a bunch of photos to keep us updated. Would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter.”

From the moment our dog met Nicole, I knew we were in good hands. He couldn't stop doing zoomies around the yard, rolling over to get his tummy rubbed and showing her all of his party tricks. She just finished housesitting for us, and she was fantastic. Over the course of two weeks, we got several photos and updates every day, she was patient and loving (even when someone - not naming names -was a little naughty) and I'd honestly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Nicole! We'd love to have you back. (And Odie loves you, too!)
This was our first time using a dog/house sitter. We were so impressed by Bryon(Lee). He sent us updates/pics/videos of our dogs throughout the week and showed us how much fun they were having. He made us feel at ease with leaving the dogs and our house in his hands. We will 100% be using him again in the future!
Loren was fabulous! She took great care of our senior Maltese, Remy. She had great communication and photos, and she was also extremely flexible and friendly. Loren offered to stay a little later as she knew our flight was delayed. It was so helpful that she was able to stay until we were on the flight and on our way home so that Remy would not be alone. I really appreciate the way Loren cared for Loren. I highly recommend Loren and would definitely ask her back:)
I cannot say enough good things about Johnae. She was very communicative and loving towards our pets and we came home to a clean home. Johnae is a kind soul who has professional experience with animals and someone I would highly recommend to take care of your pet or home.
Jackie was fantastic! We had issues with our flight and she was immediately willing to stay longer to make sure our corgi didn’t have to spend too long alone. She sent plenty of super cute pictures and updates, kept our house clean, and our dog still can’t stop talking about how much fun he had with her. Thank you so much Jackie and we will definitely use you again!!
This was hands down the best dog/house sitting experience I’ve ever had. Siri is truly my dream sitter. She was logistically flawless, incredibly accommodating, communicative, and sent so many thoughtful updates, pictures, and videos of my girl while I was away. Beyond that, Siri just has the most wonderful energy. Rasha can be very anxious, and leaving her is honestly really hard for me. During our meet and greet, Siri sat on the floor at Rasha’s level and let her approach at her own pace. Within no time, Rasha was rolling over for belly rubs, climbing into Siri’s lap, and completely relaxed. I was honestly overjoyed. I can’t adequately express how much Siri means to both me and Rasha after this experience. I will absolutely be booking with her for every future sit, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their baby.
Ciara was an incredibly attentive sitter for our geriatric chihuahua and looney attention-demanding cattle dog mix! This was our longest trip in years and I had anxiety using a new sitter for the first time in about 6 years…but I had no reason to be because she is soooo good! She let us know of a health concern she noted (we worked through that over text and our little bubba is doing great) and had such a sense of humor about our dogs’ quirks. We got texts with pictures times a day, and she even texted with me prior to the visit with very quick responses, and was willing to come do a second meet and greet with a new puppy before her stay. I would absolutely book again with Ciara. She is a great find.
