“Jennifer was amazing with our old boy! She provided thorough and timely updates, I never had to wonder how Pugsley was doing and if he was behaving. We came home to a tidy home and a very happy dog! We can’t wait to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer again.”


About: I have owned, raised and loved all kinds of dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personality types! Dogs have always been apart of my life and bring me so much happiness! I have trained my own dogs to walk on leash. I have also trained them to perform tricks such as shake, sit, lay down and “ready”. I have attended obedience classes with my own dogs and learned how to deal with behavioral problems such as overactive issues, jumping and potential aggression. For dog sitting I will ensure your dog or cat is safe, happy, and well cared for every time I come and visit. I would be so honored to come and walk or pet sit for you.
“Kaylee took such good care of our girl while we were out of town for a long weekend! She sent detailed updates and we could tell how much fun our pup was having. And the house is absolutely spotless upon our return. Truly couldn’t ask for more! Thank you so much, Kaylee!!”

“Kendall really took great care of our 3 pets(1dog & cats). We had gone out for 5days, she stayed at our home and took amazing care of our pets. She even took the garbage out without us mentioning it on the garbage day. I would highly recommend her without any doubt and will definitely contact her for our future petsitting needs.”

“Philip is one of the best dog sitters EVER! He was so caring and attentive. Chewbacca, our oldest, is very anxious and hates our leaving; we came home to him being completely content, as if we never left. And Philip took on babysitting Mika, a five-month-old puppy with a TON of energy -no problem, they got along great. The house was well cared for, the communication excellent. I can't recommend him highly enough.”
“Lauriel is very responsible with Archie. She is communicative, prompt, respectful and always available. She respects my home, and genuinely cares for Archie. She sends me pictures and updates and checks in on him on days she is not with him. She is quick to respond and always willing to help me out!”

“Thank you, Fatima, for taking such excellent care of my fur babies. Thank you for the adorable pictures that you sent me. I love that. There was one cat on each side of you like they were centurions guarding you. ❤️ thank you for the activities that you did with the cats they really enjoyed having you stay with them! Both cats were so calm when I came home! You are so kind, honest, trustworthy, and my cats just love you! I appreciate you thank you so much!”

“I can’t recommend Gabriela enough! She helped me out on very short notice, and I’m so grateful she was available. My dog can be a handful—he’s big (around 100 pounds) and very affectionate—but she handled him with so much patience and confidence. It’s clear she really understands dogs, especially larger breeds, and knows how to manage their energy while still giving them the love and attention they need. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely great with dogs, Gabriela is the one!”

“Skyler was wonderful! She was here for our Poppy girl every night and kept as close to her routine as possible. We will definitely be reaching out to Skyler again for future stays!”


About: Hi, I’m George! I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have extensive experience handling large dogs (50lbs+), especially high-energy breeds that require long walks, exercise, and attention. I’m comfortable managing strong dogs and making sure they get the physical activity and care they need to stay happy and healthy. I provided ✅ frequent photo updates ✅ playtime and enrichment ✅ calm care for shy or anxious pets ✅ reliable routines and potty breaks Whether your dog loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or just needs a reliable and experienced walker, I’m here to help! I work on weekends noon till midnight but on the weekdays mornings I’m free and have the time to house sit and take dogs on long walks 😄 Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for.
About: I have over 12 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, including raising three of my own. I’m familiar with daily routines such as feeding, exercise, and overall care. What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail. I treat every dog with care and respect, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after as my own. I also make sure they get my full attention to give them a positive and caring experience. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also available most days of the week and can adjust my time as needed to meet each pet’s routine and needs. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow any instructions from the owner closely and keep an eye on their feeding, walks, and overall care. I treat every pet like my own so they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Daniela was amazing! This was our first time leaving Gibson overnight for with someone and we couldn’t be more pleased with her. She sent videos and pictures through out the night to keep our mind at ease. Would definitely recommend and use her again! Gibson loved her!!”

“Gabrielle watched our dog in our house for four nights while we were on vacation. She was wonderful! She took great care of our beloved Rosie. We will definitely ask her to watch our Rosie again!”

“Judith and Cynthia were terrific. Pets were happy upon our return but I could see they were relaxed and had been well cared for. We will definitely seek these sitters out in the future. Thank you!”

“Stephanie is a fantastic dog sitter! She took care of our two dogs in our home for six days. We were sent photos and videos of the dogs during our stay and could clearly see how happy they were under her care. Stephanie asked all the right questions before our stay, and we knew we were leaving our dogs with a true "dog person". We came home to very happy dogs (and a clean house!). It was such peace of mind to know that our dogs were being so well taken care of in their own home while we were gone. We can't recommend Stephanie highly enough - she was wonderful!”
“Joseph was great with our dogs, they were in a great mood when we got home! Good communicator and house sitter. He’s stayed with our dogs twice now and we will definitely book him again!”
