This was the first time w electric our 6-month old pup with a sitter and we couldn’t be happier. She checked in by text over the course of the evening and sent pictures of how things were going. Rufus loved her! She also does pet photography and took some gorgeous photos of our boy.”

Karen shared multiple daily texts and pictures too! She was so gracious and left my house very clean upon returning from a week long family vacation. Very kind, respectable and caring-top notch and I highly recommend. Thank you Karen!!”

About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.

“Mackenzie was great! She took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our booking so she could meet the boys, see the house, and make sure it was a good fit. We learned about her dog and were super comfortable leaving the boys (and our home) in her care. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. The boys loved her. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others.”


“Emily was awesome to work with. I have a very large, energetic German Shepherd. She was able to stay at our house with him while we were away. He does not do well at a kennel and this allowed him to stay in his own home. I immediately noticed he was calmer upon my return. Emily played with him throughout the day and kept me updated on how he was doing. Since we are in a pandemic, Emily also was kind enough to disinfect surfaces before we got home. I will absolutely work with Emily again.”


“This is the third time Elizbeth cared for my two dogs and one cat. This was a 2-night house-sitting job. I can't say enough positive things about how Elizabeth ensured my pets' welfare. Both dogs are pretty sensitive and have been uneasy when we have been away in the past. Not so with Elizabeth! They had a great time playing and cuddling with her, and they settled in beautifully. When we got home, I could see how comfortable they are with Elizabeth. What a difference and what a relief! I recommend Elizabeth highly for her pet sitting skills and dedication to the best care for my pets.”


“Sanibel had an amazing time with Stephanie. She hung out with her 2 nights in a row during our wedding weekend. The 2nd night as soon as she saw her she was prancing her way excited to spend the night with her. Stephanie was super flexible and accommodating and we knew right away Sanibel wa in great hands. We hope she can spend some time with her again!”

About: Have trained and raised 3 beautiful dogs and have family within the foster and veterinary fields. Having a few pit bulls, have basic obedience and leash walking training..we live super close to the water as well as dog parks and playgrounds and would love to help other pups have a good and safe life:) Or a cozy environment if your fur baby prefers a calm safe space. One of us works from home, mainly nights, so there is always someone around to take care of the precious pup..and our weekends consist of hikes, water adventures, less reactive trails, and movie parties! We have a closed in 3 floor apartment as well as multiple courtyards and doggy parks right around the corner from where we live. We live directly next to a school so a fenced in playground (without other dogs) is also available. We have a large and small sized crate with lots of enrichment treat, toys, galore !

“Theresa is someone whom you could leave you dog with and feel zero anxiety knowing that your furbaby is in excellent hands! She is extremely loving, caring, nurturing, responsible, and attentive with dogs, putting them before herself. Her experience as a dog-mom and a dog-lover has taught her how to take care of a litany of dog breeds and behaviors, making her someone who is always considering the multitude of possibilities when watching a dog. Her concern with making sure the dog is safe, taken care of, and happy is first and foremost whenever a dog is nearby (even if she is not responsible for it), and as a result, she will make sure that you feel at ease entrusting her with your furbaby!”
