“Erik was an excellent sitter! Erik provided lots of updates and pictures and I could tell he got to know each of the cat’s personalities. It was clear he spent lots of quality time with them - played, fed, and cuddled like they were his own. My house was clean and tidy when I returned. 10/10 would book again!”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”


“Hannah was awesome!! She was so kind and caring to our pup and communicated to us regularly while we were gone. The house was left very clean when we arrived home and our pup was happy. Thank you Hannah!!”



“Heather did a fantastic job watching our fur babies the week that we were out of town. She sent daily updates/pictures , asked questions when she had them regarding their care and routines, and we came back and the house was exactly as we left it and the boys were exhausted from playing. I would feel in good hands using her services in the future and trust my dogs with her anytime.”


“Maciyah was so great with my dogs and they were instantly comfortable with her during our meet and greet. I also hot tons of pictures during her stay and came home to a super happy dog, I highly recommend!”


“Appreciate Erin's communication. First time meeting and using Erin. She stayed at our house to watch our two pups. She took good care of the dogs. Was a great guest. Handled all their needs. Sent photo of the dogs. Appreciated her time!”


“Josh was amazing. I really felt like he treated brewtus like his own. I love the daily updates and pictures he provided! I would absolutely recommend him to watch your pets and I will happily have him back anytime!”



“Mary Kay is so great with the babies - even those who are difficult! She even left us gorgeous flowers. We love her! But I don’t want to say too many good things cuz then we have to fight other people off to get her! (Just kidding!)”


About: I bring not just experience, but heartfelt understanding. I currently have two young, energetic dogs and had the privilege of loving my previous senior dog. That journey taught me the full spectrum of pet care-from playful puppyhood to the tender needs of aging companions. I work full-time in healthcare, mostly from home. With an internet connection I can work almost anywhere. My dogs are rarely left at home for more than a few hours and never left alone overnight. I give that same time and energy to your pets. I will follow whatever guidelines you prefer within your home. Whether that’s crating, sleeping on the bed, or their own special bed. I take frequent walks (if desired) and do not leave pets outside unattended.

“Nicole was fantastic. This was our first time using someone to dog/house sit while we were out of town. She was so respectful to our home, and especially our rescue German shepherd. She even washed the sheets she used and folded our laundry without us asking! Our dog is very particular about people and she LOVED Nicole. You can tell she is clearly a very experienced dog lover. I would give Nicole 10 stars if I could. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”


“Lauren did a great job staying with our dog who is older and has special needs, including medication. She left our house in excellent condition and was communicative throughout the stay. Highly recommend.”


“Laurie was so helpful even with a last minute request. She went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable including my dog with anxiety who was in a new place. Extremely grateful!”


“Jennifer was great! She watched my three quirky pitty babies over the 4th of July weekend. Communication was great, lots of pictures and all the puppies looked to be having fun :) I would definitely book again and recommend to friends.”


“Victoria was a wonderful housesitter. My shy rescue dog loved her from the moment they met. She was great with my 3 cats as well. Pictures & texts daily. I came home to happy relaxed, obviously well cared for & loved babies. And a clean, tidy house.”


“Emily was an extraordinary dog sitter! She went over and above to provide a comfortable and relaxing time for our two old dogs. We were constantly updated with cute pictures of them playing and came home to a squeaky clean house! We cannot say enough positive things about our experience.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and wouldn’t have it any other way! I love going on walks, the dog park and finding the best trails for my dog Boca and I to explore. I have experience with resource guarding, positive reinforcement training and love dogs of all sizes and breeds! I currently work remote full-time, so I am home all day to take care of your best friend. I have a flexible schedule so they can expect early morning, lunchtime and sunset walks if weather permits! I have a fenced in yard and several walking routes for walks throughout the day. I have a snuggly and goofy 4 year old Plott Hound who loves to play and nap. She's a great companion for any dog that comes to visit!

About: I have worked with animals and have used pet care facilities before and know it is hard to find trusted dependable care. Understand life/work happens and there is always need for pet care to support them with. I am available Monday through Friday days. Evenings for Monday through Thursday. Weekends for sitting overnight. Able to come over to check on animals or feeding time. I have trained two puppies from 4weeks and on that were part of my household. I have a dog that was found in Eastern Market area and have worked with resource guarding.
