We loved Kimberly and highly recommend her! She was amazing with my dog. He is an older dog with a few medical issues. I normally don’t like to ever leave him but Kimberly made me feel that he was safe and in good hands. She sent lots of pictures and videos each day. She was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be using her again! Lisa

Ethan was great! Called ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit. When he got here, our dog took to him right away. He was communicative and shared pictures with us afterward. We felt a lot better on our trip knowing our dog was in good hands!

Brittany was amazing! She watched our three dogs overnight. They absolutely loved her and immediately accepted her as part of their family. She arranged, on her own time, to come and meet the dogs, and me, before she accepted the job to be sure it was a good fit. While we were away she kept us updated by sending us many pictures and letting us know how the dogs were doing. If she had any questions, she asked us for clarification. I would highly recommend Brittany and we will be asking her to watch our pack again I am sure.

We were in desperate need of someone we could trust to watch our anxious rescue pup, Piper, during our wedding weekend. Lana was extremely patient with both Piper, and my husband and I, even agreeing to meet us several times before the stay to get us all comfortable. She sent numerous pictures and updates, which calmed our nerves so we could fully enjoy our wedding. Thank you Lana for taking great care of Piper, we will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need someone to dog sit Piper in the future.

Maria is an incredibly responsible caregiver for any pet - she is a true animal lover. She is great at understanding the needs of dogs and cats alike, especially taking care on walks that dogs are not rushed and get the attention they need. She really treats every animal as though they were her own - I would definitely recommend Maria to care for your pet.

We were very happy with Madeline and felt comfortable with her in our home with Ruby. She asked all the right questions and had Ruby's best interest at heart. We appreciated Madeline's promptness in returning messages and her flexibility with Ruby's schedule. We would recommend Madeline for house or pet sitting.

I can't recommend Brett enough as a dog sitter! They are incredibly responsible, caring, and truly love animals. Whenever my dog stays with them, I know he’s in great hands—he gets plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. Brett keeps me updated with photos and messages, which puts my mind at ease. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family, Brett is the perfect choice!

15 years of experience

About: After dog sitting for family friends throughout my childhood/adolescence, I worked at K9 Resorts Dog Day Care, I then worked for a year at Stafford Veterinary Hospital as a vet tech, where I learned my life’s true passion and an now pursuing certification through Penn Foster. While I’m not currently practicing veterinary medicine, I’m eager to watch over and care for your animals as if they were my own, and I hope to meet your furry friend soon! As a dog mom myself, I know what is expected of me as a care taker! As I’m currently looking for a job in veterinary medicine, I learn more and more about the needs of all types of animals! Whether in my home or the client’s home, I take care of each animal as if they were my own. If you have a Velcro dog, I will cuddle them as often as possible. If you have a high energy pup, we’ll play fetch until HE tires out. As an added bonus, I can trim nails and tell you whether that “spot” is something to bring the vet or ignore it.

Miranda was wonderful with Lady! Miranda arrived on time, followed all of my (many!) instructions and kept in touch with me during her stay. She kept me up to date and sent lots of happy pics of Lady. Miranda’s communication was excellent before and during her stay, and she went above and beyond taking care of my home, as well. Lady can’t wait to see Miranda again!

Joselyn is a terrific caretaker / dog sitter/ house sitter. She cared for our nervous adoptee who avoids other dogs with great conscientiousness and a patient understanding. She obviously gave him plenty of attention because we got a “oh you’re back already?” Greeting instead of the “how could you have left me for so many years” one (like when we go out for dinner!). She asked good questions to make sure she understood the job and our not too easy pooch. I have no hesitation in recommending her and plan to use her services the next weekend we’re away.

Yana stayed at my house with my puppy for five days. He's better trained than he was when I left. He knows more commands and follows them more obediently. Yana did everything I asked and more, keeping in touch regularly with reports and updates, cooking for the pup and keeping him on a schedule. I would leave my puppy with her for any amount of time. She is the first person I would ask to stay with him.
