“Best sitter! They were amazing in caring for my pup son bagel. She sent me an updates with photos regularly! Bagel loved staying at their house and playing with griffin and other puppies. I’ll continue to have them sit for us !!”
“Danielle was awesome with scheduling a last minute stay. She took care of Apollo and shared photos of his visit. Apollo is is older, and she provided that extra care he needs. We will definitely contact her again.”
“100% recommend! I was so worried to leave my (fur)baby behind while my family went on vacation, but Cindy made me feel at ease immediately. I got daily pictures and updates. I was able to truly enjoy my time with my family knowing my other baby was being so well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“Gina is the bestest! My wife was really concerned about having to leave our dog and Gina was very sensitive to that and sent several videos and photos to actually show us she was fine. She went above and beyond and if we ever have to drop our dog again it will definitely be with Gina.”
“Mary Catherine and her family were so wonderful with Abby! Sweet family and we felt great that she was in such good hands while we were away. Loved the photo updates she gave us.”
“Bonnie was an AMAZING sitter for my big German Shepherd. She responded quickly to all my messages and provided videos and pictures. My dog had an amazing time with her and her fur babies. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my dog with her, and it helped that she had large dogs herself. I highly recommend her! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Lauryn and Loren took excellent care of my dog. They were very patient with her when introducing her to her new environment and dog companions putting her at ease for the rest of her stay. They took her on daily walks and kept me updated with pictures and feedback throughout the weekend.”
“Paige’s home is Remi’s second home! Her family is her second family. Consistentsy is important in a dogs life and when we do need to leave her, having Paige is peace of mind for us. They have a great backyard for our very active girl to run and play with other dog friends. She’s safe, fed, entertained and loved....thank you Paige!”
“Tetiana was great! Vera loved meeting with her, her husband, and Wanda (and her dog brought out the puppy play in my 9-year old dog). We can tell she had a great time staying with them, was well cared for, and very responsive with pictures and communication. We hope to book another stay again soon!”
“Lillian is truly AMAZING! Ollie loves her so much that he didn’t want to leave. She was very accommodating and even had a meet up before so Ollie could meet her. 10 out of 10 service. We will be using Lillian for now on. Thank you Lillian!!”
“Delelah was a great sitter for my baby and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She was communicative and sent me updates throughout the weekend.”
“Amazing experience. My dog loved staying with Judith. He played so much he slept for a day after he came home. Less stressful for him than kennel. Next time I need a dog sitter, I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
“Monica was excellent. Our previous dog watcher moved so it was intimidating trying to find someone else. I feel like Monica was the best choice. She has a backyard and provided comfortable accommodations and space for Ginger. Her dog is also friendly! While we were away in Europe, she would send photos every day. It was comforting waking up to pictures of Ginger relaxed and happy. She was very communicative with us and caring with Ginger. I definitely recommend her to watch your furry loved one.”
“Ms Janis was a very great dog sitter for my fur baby. Cash always seemed happy and well taken care of from all the great photos that I would get from Ms. Janis. I will definitely keep her as one of my top dog sitters. Highly recommended!”
“We are very Thankful we found Debbie. She reported to me daily on Fritizie's activies,sent me pictures. He was very calm and made himself at home. She and her family love animals. I felt very relaxed knowing he was in good hands and I could relax and not have to worry about him. I Highly recommend her. Terry K.”
“Micaela took my request last minute which i greatly appreciated & she was absolutely great with keeping me updated on Luna while I was traveling! I’m sure Luna will see her again soon for pet sitting!”

We had an amazing experience with Melissa as our dog sitter! We’ve actually booked her twice now, and she’s officially our go-to dog sitter whenever we travel for work. She did an amazing job taking care of our 3 miniature dachshunds, which isn’t always easy, but she handled them perfectly! 🐶🐶🐶 She is very well connected and knowledgeable, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. Throughout the day, she sends pictures and videos, which we absolutely love it makes us feel like we’re still right there with our pups! ❤️ You can truly tell she cares and treats them like her own. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable. We’ll definitely continue booking with her!
