“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”

We would recommend Tiffany!”


“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks.

About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.

“Hannah was superb! She took such good care of Ben while we were in town visiting. She gave periodic updates and was really accommodating even when our puppy had a few accidents. Overall, such an ideal experience and would recommend her to anyone who needs dog sitting!”


About: I would be great person to take care/watch your dog because I don’t treat pets like any regular animal they are like kids they need to be loved and taken care of just like any other human being. My whole life growing up I have been around nothing but dogs mainly and I always grow a different bond with every single one of them as if they were my own,I’m different from other sitters because to me it’s not just about money but I would love to have all the new experiences I can get with many different dogs all shapes and sizes, I can learn a lot of new things and even help train your dog with things they haven’t even learned yet. I’m currently a stay at home mom finishing up with school so I will have plenty of free time to still love and care for your pet. I have a small yard but also closed in parks that your dog can run around and still be free in. Also while inside I treat all dogs like my own so they would have the same routines just like they were right at home no one likes new changes so fast.


“I had a great experience with daycare/dog-sitting at her residence. I booked with Elizabeth very last minute and she was gracious enough to accommodate my request! Her yard was perfect for my dog who enjoys being outdoors.”


About: I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. I have experience with big dogs and small tea cup sized dogs. I love cats and I am excited to meet your fur babies! My first dog sitting experience landed me a job for almost 12 years! I owned a large god for 10 years until she passed. Nothing brings more joy then providing love, shelter, support, and lots of snuggles to pets while their families are busy doing human things. I love taking dog on walks and playing fetch. Training dogs is difficult and rewarding for both master and pet! Keep me in mind when you make your choice about where you want your fur baby to stay! Did I say I love dogs!? ❤️ Pet care and self care are the same thing. You café for your pet the way you care for yourself. Daily walks, training(if needed) eating a routine diet. I make sure that pets have ample food or per owner request. Make sure that there is water, play time is important. Socializing is important in the animal world.

“My dog Luka has stayed with Danielle multiple times for day care and overnight stays, and always comes back happy, healthy, and tired. It’s very cute to see how excited he gets when we get out of the car for drop off! I highly recommend her for all your dog care needs.”


“Phoenix watched Petey while I was away for a long weekend. She sent picture updates everyday and followed all the care instructions for Petey! He was well taken care of and I know Petey would love to come back.”
