1. William R.


“William is an excellent Dog Sitter. His hours are very flexible, if I get stuck at work a little late. My dog loves him. As soon as we pull up to the house, he starts wagging his tail all excited to go visit his new friends.”


2. Heying 'April' L.

“April took excellent care of my energetic pup for the day. She made time for plenty of play and outdoor activity, and she also took lots of photos. I can tell my Rory is tuckered out and happy after the day at April's house :) Drop off, pickup, and coordinating were as easy as can be. We also had a meet and greet some time before the first visit, which I really appreciated. Thank you April! We will be back!!”


3. Jaimie G.


“Jojo had a wonderful time with Jaimie. I messaged her about meet & greet before booking and she was so flexible with scheduling. I reached out to her with a very short notice and she still agreed to take care of my jojo! She sent me videos and pics throughout the days and it was so easy to communicate with her. Jojo loved playing with Jaimie’s dog, Ollie who is so friendly. I’m so so happy I’ve found Jaimie in my area. If you’re looking for a good sitter, stop looking! Jaimie is the one!”


4. Sara D.

“I can’t express enough how wonderful Sara was with our little Peanut. I had come to grips with the fact that I probably won’t be able to go anywhere this summer because I didn’t want to take my dog somewhere where they would crate her or where she would be with a bunch of other dogs until I found Sara. She was absolutely wonderful and she treated her like one of the family. She only takes one dog or one household of pets at a time which makes me feel even more comfortable. My puppy absolutely adored her and her family and so did I! Thank you Sara for all your did. I know you will see Peanut every time we are away or even just out for the day like we did today.”


5. Shawn D.

“Cooper had another fabulous stay at Shawn’s! Really appreciate Shawn’s prompt communication and updates through the day to show how much fun Cooper is having. We will definitely be back again :)”




6. Laraine R.

“Laraine is fantastic! You can’t go wrong! We had a meet and greet where my dog meet some of the other dogs he would be staying with, and we thoroughly went over his routine and anything/everything else she needed to know about him. I would highly recommend Laraine to anyone to watch their beloved pets.”

About: I grew up with a cat, and have taken care of many cats of various ages. I have less experience with dogs, but have pet-sit for dog owners in the past 2-3 years. I’m currently working part time and from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I prefer weekends but can be available during the week if needed. Just let me know what your schedule is and we can work out a time that is beneficial for both you, me, and your fur baby! I will care for pets in your home to maintain a comfortable, safe, and secure environment. Regarding the care of pets, any special aspects like allergies, medications, behavioral issues, routines, etc. please let me know. I am looking forward to working with you soon!


8. Barbora A.

“Barbara is great! I have an 8 week old Labrador retriever, full of puppy energy and I was very carefully vetting someone I felt could handle him with authentic love and care but who also understands dogs in all stages of their lives. After reading about Barbara and her experience and love for animals my gut told me she was the right choice. I was right! She was accommodating, punctual, friendly, kept me updated throughout the day & took pictures which made me feel at ease knowing he was thriving in her care. She has a beautiful yard which is a huge plus cause I know my boy got some good fun & exercise. Will definitely rebook :)!”

19. Maribel E.
“I don’t trust many people with watching my babies, but Bella is one of few that I do trust whole-heartedly. She has taken care of our dog, Roman several of times and always sends photo updates throughout the night with how much he’s being spoiled. She’s also checked in on our cat, Chloe multiple times and make sure her food and water bowl are good to go. She even goes the extra mile and spends time with her to make sure she eats and gets a little comfort from a familiar adult. The way she cares for her fur baby, speaks volumes as to the kind of fur mama that she is! I promise she will spoil your baby more than you could imagine and they’d be in great care!”


20. Liza D.
“My puppy Daisy went for 2 week boarding with Liza. Daisy had the best time ever and I was updated daily with pics and how she was doing. She played very well with with her friendly dog and didn’t want to leave. Definitely would recommend Liza for pet sitting and boarding.”
