“Elizabeth is great! Punctual, neat and follows all specifics. Baxter definitely looks forward to her visits and is pooped when she leaves ☺️”
“Jackie took care of Lucy for the weekend and did a great job. She was kind, respectful and you could tell she loved caring for others pets. I would highly recommend and would book with her again in the future.”
“Sara was awesome, so communicative and I felt so great leaving my guy in her care. Would highly recommend using Sara for your pup sitting needs”
“Ryan did a great job looking after our two dogs. He arrived and departed at times we'd agreed upon and stayed in touch throughout his stay, sending us pictures and videos of our happy dogs and answering any questions we had about how the dogs were faring. We hope to book with him again in the future!”
“Marti was fantastic. This was my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone not family and now I’m pleased to say that I consider her family! She took such good care of Cooper and despite a challenging furnace malfunction, she hung right in there and kept in communication with us and sent pics and regular updates. Cooper had a wonderful time and so did we as a result!”
“Stella was amazing! She truly went above and beyond, ensuring my dog got plenty of exercise, provided peace of mind with daily updates, and she totally respected the house. When our flight got delayed, she even stayed a little longer to make sure our dog got a later potty break Highly recommend!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was young. From our family dog Casey to my current dog Jack, I have been caring for dogs large and small, young and old, for 27 years. I am flexible and communicative, offering in-house sitting, drop ins, and walking services. I ensure your dog feels safe and well cared for. I am currently working from home part time, with a very flexible schedule. I am willing to adapt my schedule as much as possible to accommodate the needs of any pet owner. In a client’s home, I aim to follow their normal routine for their pet as closely as possible. With a flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate any pet routine, and am willing to administer any extra care a pet needs.
“Jessie is great! If you have a dog with some personality issues, she can handle it. Our old pup is a tough customer but she won him over. Great communication and flexibility. Def recommend!”
About: For most of my life, I've owned and taken care of A LOT of pets. :) I've taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even a chinchilla or two! This past summer, I was lucky enough to have the chance to volunteer at the "dog house" at my local humane society shelter. This involved cleaning up after the dogs, cleaning out kennels, and letting them out to play in the yard. While I don't have much training with really young pups, I can promise that I'll take great care to make sure your pet is happy and cared for. Throughout the summer (May-August) I currently work Monday-Friday, but I can always take care of your fur babies anytime before 10-11 a.m. or anytime after 3:30-4 p.m. My hours are flexible, however, so I may also be available to work around your schedule, too! As someone who's top priority is my own pets' safety, I take pet care and safety very seriously. If you have specific requirements in your home you need me to follow, I will actively ensure I am following those instructions. Whether it is a drop-in, a walk, or watching a pet over night, I will be sure to work with you to make sure we meet your specific needs for each special situation.
“Samara did a great job! Our dog is anxious and has her quirks and Samara took it all into consideration when watching her. For some reason our dog was even more anxious than usual this time and Samara was very patient and allowed for her to warm up to her on her own time which we appreciated greatly! We would highly recommend!”
“Carolyn so kindly came and watched Charlie on very short notice. She is so knowledgeable about dogs and so kind when she speaks to him, I knew he was in good hands. She sent a lot of updates and photos. I will absolutely ask her to care for him in the future. I can’t say enough good things about her.”
“Jayla was amazing! Incredibly attentive to Queenie and sent daily updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. Queenie loves her and I will certainly be booking with her again!”
“Sara was exceptional. She spent so much time and effort kissing and snuggling and just hanging in the yard with my babies that even my skittish Salty fell in love with her and kissed her to death. Couldn’t recommend Sara more highly.”
“Gabby was attentive and fulfilled exactly what was needed for our fur babe. Every time I checked in with her, she was already a step ahead of me. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Beste was with my little dog Harry. He is elderly, blind and hard of hearing. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Beste. He is on medications and is a finicky eater. He took his meds from Beste and he ate well. He is sometimes incontinent but during her 3 day stay he only had one accident. She sent me many pics and videos and I was able to enjoy my long weekend away without having to worry about Harry. I highly recommend Beste, she is the best.”

“I booked Caitlin on a last minute situation that I was faced with. I was traveling to Buffalo for the game and few days prior to us leaving, my Odin suffered something neurological that caused him to fall down a flight of stairs. He spent 24 hrs in the hospital and was sent home. It definitely was a stressful situation because I didn’t want to leave him alone and we actually thought of canceling all together, but after communicating with Caitlin I felt very uncomfortable leaving Odin with her. It was such a relief knowing that if a situation arose he was in capable hands. 💕”
“Dave was really helpful, especially since we had another sitter cancel last minute and he was able to accommodate anyway. Kiko had a great time and our home was well looked after, too. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life so those are what I’m most comfortable with, however I have a lot of experience with dogs as well. Many of my family members have dogs that I’ve taken care of when they go away on trips. I’ve cared for senior dogs for friends in the past and have a special place in my heart for them. Particularly, I have experience caring for senior dogs who are blind and deaf who need special accomodations. I currently work from home 3 days a week so I have plenty of opportunities to take care of your pets within my current schedule. I’m not able to care for your pets in my home, however I’m able to come over as much as necessary to care for your pets.
