“Great Job !!! Will rehire weekly if possible.”
“Jen and Cameron were wonderful with Annie and the bunnies. They took the time to come meet and get acquainted twice so that Annie was comfortable with them. They followed our instructions and kept in touch several times a day. They treated our girls like their own pets. Thank you Jen and Cameron for everything.”
“Wonderful!!! The boys (senior Shih Tzu’s) were so happy and well taken care of with Lisa and Michael. The updates were much appreciated and the cute photos were an added bonus! My first time leaving the boys in the care of someone new and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The house was left sparkling clean and pee pads (and misses) were all taken care of and I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free! Thank you!!!”
“Cindy is great !”
About: With years of hand on experience in dog care, I treat every pet as they were my own. I will provide a safe, love and safe environment. Your pets well being is my top priority. I’m currently working part time in customer service. I walk my own dogs every morning, it is the best part of my day. I am looking forward to being outside as much as possible and hopefully I can make your pet part of that. I have a large kennel outside for my 2 dogs for whenIi’m at work. On my days off I try to be with them as much as possible. My dogs are dog friendly and would love another friend if you are comfortable. I have a large fenced in area for them to exercise and play.
About: Super caring, reliable and responsible. I’ll treat your furbaby like my own! I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood and began walking my neighbor’s dogs at age 9. Making money doing something I truly love has always been especially rewarding. I’m experienced with all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments. Some of the breeds I’ve rescued, fostered and cared for include Pointers, Terriers, Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Doodles, Bulldogs, Mutts and designer dogs. As well as cats, bunnies birds and reptiles. I love them all equally! I take whatever approach necessary to tailor my care and attention to match your pup’s needs, whether they are high energy or easy breezy…I will be sure to provide a great experience for them. Your dog and I can go for walks or hang in your yard. Go on play dates or spend quality time…a one on one game of fetch or just snuggles. Regardless, your baby will always be safe and happy in my care. My goal is to provide a loving atmosphere where your pup is always my priority. I’m currently available to do home visits and walks at your home after 5pm and until 9pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Available 8am to 9pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I can make multiple home visits per day if needed. I’m happy that stay at your home to care for your pets while you’re away. Available 7 days a week. Available for boarding Thursday after 5pm, Friday, Saturday & Sunday for 24 hr boarding, also doggy day-care in my home and for walks. I can also do pick-ups and drop-offs. I live in a multi-level town house with a large fenced patio area together with my Chihuahua and my dog-loving, former, stray cat. My furry friends will receive tons of affection and nice long walks throughout their stay. Your pups are welcome to roam free while they are my guests. I also invite them to hang in my fully furnished basement, known as the Wags Lounge, set up to accommodate multiple dogs at a time. Furnished with a large sofa, fluffy dog beds, soft blankets, snuggle floor mats, tons of toys, fresh filtered water, treats, cool A/C, flatscreen TV and streaming music or stress relieving sounds for those nervous visitors. I also have crates available for those who prefer to sleep crated. I am located on a beautiful, gated property with endless grass and trees, perfect for long walks in a super dog-friendly community. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment while caring for your baby during their stay! My property is under exterior/interior surveillance to ensure their safety at all times. I’ll even send you updates including pics and details of their experience while in my care so you can rest easy that your pup is in good hands!
“Jeff has been excellent! I have always used family for dog sitting and walking, but was in a bind this weekend and decided to give this a try. Jeff came over a day early to meet myself and Otto and spent some time getting to know us and vice versa. He sent pictures and video of his visits. Otto loved him! I will definitely be using Jeff in the future for sitting and walks!”
“As always, Christina was an outstanding sitter for my cat Chubb. Her attention to detail was phenomenal and she genuinely enjoys what she does. She made my two week trip stress free knowing my boy was in good hands. I will only book her for watching my pet and I recommend you do the same!”

Steven H.
“A Grateful Endorsement of Steven, Our Trusted Dog Sitter For over ten years, Steven has been a reliable and consistent presence in our lives, caring for our dog Maverick with professionalism and thoughtfulness. As someone who’s often away for work, finding someone I can fully trust with Maverick hasn’t been easy—Steven is that person. Even though Maverick has access to the yard and my requests are fairly minimal—just food and water—Steven routinely goes the extra mile. He spends quality time with Maverick, makes sure he gets exercise, and provides the kind of attention that clearly makes a difference. Steven brings a calm confidence and genuine care to what he does. It's more than just checking in on a pet—he provides the reassurance that Maverick is in good hands. I highly recommend Steven to anyone in need of a dependable and caring pet sitter. He treats every dog with the same level of attention and respect as he would his own.”
