“Lisa and Matt are amazing people! Their love for animals is immense and instantly obvious. They are so warm-hearted, detail oriented, loving, and communicative. Our golden retriever has epilepsy and requires a special regimen of (a lot of) medication. They set alarms to ensure his medication was administered on time, provided updates about his behavior and food/water intake, sent pictures of him, and made us feel so at ease. It is hard to find and trust quality pet sitters in general, but especially when your fur baby has special needs. We would 1000% recommend Lisa and Matt to anyone looking for quality care. Leo can’t wait to go back and spend time with their family and pets 🐾🖤 thank you Lisa and Matt!”

Bucky came home happy and healthy, and I could tell he had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Evelyn R. for anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for giving Bucky such a remarkable experience! I will definitely be booking her services again in the near future!”

About: I've been born with an innate ability to communicate with dogs. I love them, and foster my sensitivity with them intentionally. I love caring for, walking, and playing with dogs. I see them individually, I understand we are all different and they are no exception :) I welcome you to call and get a feel for me, it'll become apparent quickly why I may be a perfect fit to love up your sweet furry friend :) I form my day around what your dog's needs are. I make sure your furry friend has first class attention and quality loving care. I'm here for you! Please reach out and introduce yourself :) I'd love to meet you and your furry friend(s)! I have a fully fenced back yard that has a perfect mixture of shade trees and a sun bathing patch. You can feel comfortable and confident your fur babies are in great hands.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.
