“Erin and her family were absolutely wonderful with our Frenchie, Roxy. Erin kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, and it was clear that Roxy felt right at home. She came home happy, relaxed and clearly cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such a kind and responsible sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin again. Highly recommend!”


“When I took my pups to meet Ciara and her dogs, Buster and Simon did not hesitate at all to meet her and her dogs. Ciara was very quick in responding to any messages and she also sent me a video of them playing in the snow. I am very pleased with the care that was given. I will definitely re-book with Ciara next time we need a sitter.”


“Dragana did a great job looking after our 1-year-old Great Pyrenees mix. Before dropping her off for the weekend, we did a short meet and greet. When we did drop her off, she got so excited to see Dragana and her dog again. We could tell she had a great couple of nights, because when we picked her up, she didn't seem ready to leave. We took our pup home happy and tired, which is always appreciated! Dragana clearly loves and works well with dogs, and we would recommend booking with her.”


“Our dog had a great time staying with Mackenzie. She sent a couple of photos while we were away along with a couple of messages. You could tell she enjoyed playing with her dogs—she is a good, tired dog. She washed Pepper’s blanket before pick up which I thought was nice.”



“Catherine was just awesome. We have a 10 lb jack Russell mix, Sammy, who is a very nervous, anxious little guy. When we went for our meet and greet, he just ran around and made himself at home. We have never left him with anyone other than family but I just felt extremely comfortable with Cathy and knew he would be good with her. She sent me some pics of him and kept me updated during his stay of 6 days. She keeps the large dogs separate from the smaller ones which was good for Sammy as he has not really been around other dogs much. She will definitely be my go to sitter from now on. If you choose to leave your pet with Cathy, you can relax and enjoy your trip because she will give him care, attention and all the love they need.”


“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”


“Taylor was great! Extremely happy with our experience with her. Sent frequent updates/photos and our dog seemed to really enjoy his time at her house. 10 out of 10 would recommend”


“Amanda provided such a wonderful home away from home for our dog, Libby, that we were almost nervous she wouldn't want to come home! She was beyond amazing, both in taking care of the dog and us as we fretted over leaving Libby for such a long time. Amanda provided several updates a day along with pictures. We could not be happier with how she took care of our dog and will never look anywhere else for help. Libby made strong bonds that I'm certain are reciprocated so I know she'll be happy to go back when we need a dog sitter in the future. Amanda deserves 10 stars!!!! 🤩”


“Once again our pups had an amazing time with Laura and Charlie! The daily pictures of them having fun and playing were so fun to receive. Laura even sent them home with a delicious treat for later. I can not recommend her highly enough as an excellent puppy sitter!!”


“Alex and Jacquelynne were amazing! They sent pictures and even a cute video of our dog while we were out of town. I knew our dog was in great hands! Kiva got in the car and immediately fell asleep, she was definitely worn out from all the play time! We highly recommend Alex and Jacquelynne if you need someone to watch your dog!”


“Belinda was wonderful and so kind! She provided plenty of Sophie updates, and was very understanding and flexible when I needed to adjust our pick-up/drop-off times!”


“Angelica was super responsive and sweet! She made sure Coop was comfortable with his first night away from home. He was worn out from all the playing when we picked him up! Definitely recommend for your pups!”


About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, I bring a lifetime of dedication, reliability, and deep animal understanding to every visit. What sets me apart is not just my longevity in the field, but the personalized attention and calm, confident care I provide. From energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior pets requiring patience, medication, and gentle handling—I’ve done it all. I specialize in reading animal behavior, easing anxiety in shy or rescue pets, and creating a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s routine, health, and happiness are always my top priority. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, special needs care, or just keeping your pets company, you can count on me to treat them like family—because to me, they are. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, medication needs, play sessions, and quiet companionship, ensuring each pet receives the attention and consistency they thrive on. Whether it’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being as if they were my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s woven into my lifestyle, bringing joy, purpose, and a calming rhythm to each day. I have a large fenced in backyard that has ample room to run and play. I also have a Great Dane who loves all animals. In my clients’ homes, I provide personalized, stress-free care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle sessions—ensuring they feel secure and cared for in your absence. I keep things tidy, stick to household rules, and maintain open communication with daily updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, consistent presence that pets trust and look forward to, so you can travel or work worry-free knowing they’re in capable, loving hands.

“We absolutely LOVED Mishel and Adlai! They were wonderful about sending pictures, updates, and videos throughout our puppy’s stay. Our pup had so much fun. It was great to leave her in such trustworthy hands. We would 100% recommend them to anyone. Our pup can’t wait to go back!”
