“Meghan was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pups! They were all very well loved and cared for while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures and updates.”


“Bryan - thank you for going above and beyond with our sump pumps during all the rain! Everything looked great when we returned from our weekend at Steamboat. Our pets were so happy. Thank you!”


“McKenzie was amazing with our crew. Including keeping us up to date on one of our pups who has a medical issue that requires multiple medications and feeding times. It’s especially hard to leave a pet that isn’t feeling well by McKenzie did a great job. My little dog, who is a bit standoff-ish, let her pet her with a few minutes of meeting her. We hope to use her again!”


About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.

“Mariana is fantastic! She stayed at our house and took care of our dog for 2 1/2 days. Great communicator, and did a wonderful job! Sent of pics of our dog and spent lots of time with her. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“Mark is extremely caring. He put our minds at ease with many updates along with pictures. Mark went above and beyond. We came home to a very relaxed and happy Cody. Thank you so much Mark! Ann and Kel”


“Oli took such great care of our pup and house! We loved the updates and really appreciated Oli’s wonderful communication! We always know Maddie (and the house) is in the best hands with Oli when we are away!!”


“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”


“Paula was amazing with caring for my baby girl, Maggie. I knew there was going to be trouble when I returned. Yep. Maggie is spoiled rotten. I could tell Maggie loved Paula”


“Egon was an absolute DELIGHT to work with. They were very communicative, asked great questions, and took excellent care of our older senior kitty and two kittens. They also managed some unexpected house stuff with grace and ease (including an internet outage and several service folks needing to come to the house to fix stuff). We came home to happy kitties and a spotless, well-cared-for house. We have already booked with Egon again and encourage others to work with them as well :)”


“Helena was everything we hoped for in a dog and house sitter. I appreciate so much all of the photos, the detailed updates on their time together, and how proactive Helena was with communicating. We cannot wait to be her repeat clients. If you want someone that you can trust that your dog will quickly be obsessed with, look no further. Seriously, thank you so much, Helena!”


“Kim agreed to take on a very challenging task - caring for a beagle who is not only terrified of people but also has epilepsy. During her first visit he had a seizure and I could not have more pleased with how she handled it. There are some people you meet and immediately know that your pets will be well cared for - Kim is that person!”


“Sarah did an amazing job. I am extremely overprotective and type A about my pets and their schedule and she was amazing. She gave my pets a ton of affection, she administered their medications, she maintained our tidy home and we came home to happy pets and a clean living space, and she sent daily updates with pictures and videos like she said she would. She arrived on time and left at the planned time. We would absolutely hire Sarah again. Our dog is actually searching for her!”



“Larry and I LOVE Emily!!!! I have booked a few times and she has taken such great care of Larry. Most recently I was over seas and Larry needed treatment at the vet. No questions asked, she sprung into gear to get him the best treatment possible. She is Larry's and my life saver.”


“Seline was super helpful and great house-sitting our dog and cat when we were out of town for the weekend. She provided photo updates each day and communicated quickly throughout the stay.”


“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”


“Liz is FANTASTIC! She made my pup so happy while I was away for a week that he is probably sad that I came home! She is reliable, communicative, friendly, and LOVES animals. I hope to have Liz doggy-sit for me again :)”


“Erica was great taking care of our new pup and old cat. Great communication and we had no worries while she was taking care of the house and animals while we were out of the country. We will book her again when we go on trips!”


“We are grateful for the amazing care Chelsea provided to our cat Mateo when we were away for 10 days. She took great care of him, but also kept our home clean and tidy. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and we definitely recommend her to others that are looking for a professional and caring pet sitter.”
