“Heather came to the rescue when another sitter was unable to make it last minute. She came over the same day I asked if she was available to meet my dogs. She did exactly what was needed and I’m so thankful that she was available last minute! I will definitely be using her again!”
“I’m so glad I boarded my two cats with Elizabeth! My drop off and pick up times we’re pretty late and she accommodated me perfectly. Everything was super convenient. She sent me updates on my babies while I was away which gave me peace of mind and overall her and Steve are just pleasant people. 10/10 stars! Would definitely board again.”

About: I've had animals my whole life. I have house sat my friends and family's pets for years while they go on vacation. In my spare time I work with the animals at the Animal Refuge League both dogs and cats. They have provided different types of training for both cat and canine care. I work from home so I am able to house sit and still continue working. This allows me to be with youe pets as often as possible during your time away. I do not care for pets in my home since I have a cat and a dog myself. (They get watched by my roommate while I'm away)
“The last time we had Katelyn take care of our boy it was planned well in advance but we had a last-minute need and she said yes! He got a nice walk & was a happy pup when we got home. Huge relief 🙂”
“Faith took fantastic care of our cats. She sent us frequent updates about them throughout the whole stay, even an hour before picking them up. The pictures and videos helped us focus on my brother's wedding instead of worrying about the cats, and we greatly appreciate it.”
About: I have been assisting my Girlfriend with many of her clients when she can't take them.I am very attentive and enjoy playing with them. I will treat every animal if it were my own.

About: Hey dog parents! My name is Jane and I have extensive experience as a full-time pet boarder and sitter when I was based in Nashville, as seen from my reviews! I loved it so much, but I also front a rock band, and our touring schedule has prevented me from pet-sitting consistently for the past couple of years. I also live in a converted campervan with my fiance Ian (a fellow dog lover as well). We will be bouncing around the northeast area for the summer and fall, so we will be available to care for your pet! :) Having our own space in the van works great for house sitting because we can park outside your home, but we don't have to use your kitchen or bedroom, while still spending most of the day in your home with your pet. The perfect blend of boundaries and creating a stable environment for your pet! But of course, if you have a pet that prefers to have someone sleep in the house (it's happened MANY times before) we can keep the schedule they are used to. We don't mind dogs in bed if that is what they are used to. It is all about keeping life consistent for your babe. I have always been a dog lover and grew up with a golden retriever, Honeymoon. Making sure dogs feel comfortable and loved is so important to me! Being in a small space and touring in a band prevents us from getting our own pup, but we would love to help care for yours! We are self-employed so our schedule is very fluid. We would work on our laptops in your home, being with your pet most of the day! I love taking walks, so it is no problem to give your dog regular exercise! Playtime and cuddling are always a must to make your dog feel loved and ease anxiety while you are away!
“Ethan answered our "short notice" request for a dog visit. He walked and visited with Jack; checking his water and food for us. He responded with text messages when he arrived and departed. He is a "Super" dog sitter! Thank you”
About: I love being outdoors and exploring, so I would be happy to take your best friend wherever their heart desires. I have always grown up with pets, and I currently have two pups, Kona and Angie.

Ensuring safety and trust for your pets is top priority. In my home we take measures to create hazard-free spaces.
