“My dog has had the same sitter for 14 years, so I was concerned about how he would adapt to a new person and setting. Grace was wonderful with him. She followed his schedule and routine. When I picked him up, he was relaxed and happy. Grace kept me informed about how he was doing with messages and pictures. I will definitely use Grace again.”



“Denise was a great host! Brody seemed very comfortable and happy at her home. She took lots of pictures and posted them each day with a little note. She has a beautiful yard for Brody to exercise and play. She was attentive to his health issue and has a genuine love for animals. We will be back again! Thank you!”


“Catherine and her family were so caring to our elderly dog. They really went out of their way to make sure his separation anxiety and old man ways were managed well. Highly recommend them!”


“Lisa did a great job with our 1 year old lab Franklin, he was very happy there all day. Lisa sent us pictures of him playing. Would definitely use her services again!”

She pays much attention to the dogs and let them have much play time at her backyard. She adored and took great care of my baby. Will book her again if i'm in the area.”

You can trust they'll be in safe, caring hands!

“Ganesh did a great job taking care of my dog Luna for over 2 weeks when I was on vacation. She's happy and looks great, unlike another dog I had that I left in a shelter a few years ago. He provided frequent updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry about her. I highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs.”



“Jacqueline was great with my blind dog. She called me in for a meet and greet, showed us the house and the backyard and discussed feeding, sleeping and all other necessary things. Having learned that my dog is blind, she read up on blind dogs needs and was fully prepared. Every day I received an update with a picture. My dog was welcome, happy and safe in Jacqueline’s house. I’m very grateful and would highly recommend her.”


“Lori is the best person to watch my 14 year old dog Cooper. Cooper has anxiety and Lori was able to keep Coop calm during his stay.

Thank you Lori!!”

We are truly so thankful for Katie and her family!”

About: I’ve had the joy of providing around-the-clock love and attention to furry friends in their own space. I’ve cared for dogs and cats from four different families, each with their own unique personalities and routines. Growing up with animals, I’ve learned how to read their needs and earn their trust. I’m here to be their new best friend - and yes, you’ll get plenty of adorable photo updates along the way. I work from home 3 days of the week, but have flexibility to work fully remote if needed for your pet! This means that they can have someone with them every moment of the day, if that is a must. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I will follow all routines closely. This includes feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or if they like to watch a specific show while napping on the couch. If I am in your home, I will keep things tidy, respect your personal privacy, and send regular photo updates so you know your pet is happy and cared for. In my homes I create a cozy, pet-friendly space. I tailor to their personality - whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhat in between!
