About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs since the moment I was born. I had my own dog when I was 12, and love living with all sizes. I’ve lived with a Doberman, pitbull, terrier, rescued cats, and even a turtle. I love making homemade pet-friendly treats and I have a knack for tiring out pets through my daily 2 mile walks. I like work my weekends tailored to my pets schedule. I’m an early morning person, so ideally we’d love to take the dogs to the dog park, on a long morning walk, and grab a neighborhood coffee. When it’s nice weather, a small grill out or pizza at a pet friendly cafe is ideal. I always do an evening walk, and then we close up the evenings relaxing at home. I have a full tub for showers and bathing. I live in a suburban area for walking pets and am close to several dog parks.

“Heather watched my dog and cat at my house and did everything I requested. Both my animals and home were well cared for. She also provided photos during the time I was away. What has been very impressive to me is her excellent communication. I would definitely recommend Heather for pet care/sitting!”

“Gracie was absolutely amazing with our two pups! We were given updates and pictures all throughout the day and never had to worry about a thing when we were out of town. We have used this service a lot and haven’t had anyone that can hold a candle to how great Gracie was! Will definitely be calling her again in the future!”

“Sarah took such amazing care of our dog, two cats, and home while we were out of town. She provided picture updates throughout the day. I didn’t have to worry at all about my babies while we were gone. Her communication was top notch. I will definitely use Sarah again!”

“Amanda stayed at our house for 10 days, watching our special needs geriatric Maltese and provided excellent care. Amanda administered our dog’s medication 4x per day and cleaned up numerous accidents due to our dog’s anxiety. Our dog wears a belly band, so she also had to bathe him frequently. She followed my multiple pages of instructions and provided daily updates. Amanda also left the house spotless. We really appreciate all of her hard work and dedication to our dog. We would definitely have her care for him again!”

“Rhiannon was terrific! She cared for our dogs and home with great care and wonderful communication. Meant the world to us to receive regular updates with happy dog photos. She was flexible and quick to respond. Great experience!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

“We continue to appreciate the love Jillian bestows upon are pets and know that when she is with them they are receiving top-notch, reliable, and intentional care. She is the best! Highly recommend her!”

“Akala was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs! They were well taken care of and we got lots of updates on them during our 4 night vacation. She was very responsible and took great care of our house as well. It was super clean and just as we left it. We would definitely recommend Akala to take care of your pets and home while you are away.”

Gracie did a great job dog sitting for my 2 pups while I was away for the week. She sent daily updates with photos and I could tell they were being well loved and spending their days doing all their favorite things! It was so nice on my trip knowing they were well cared for

Diane was a fantastic sitter! She was amazing and easy to work with throughout the process. She stayed in my home while I traveled and my deeply anxious rescue dog and my cats never missed me. Diane kept me informed while I was away, followed all my instructions, and my pets were safe and happy in my absence. I look forward to hiring her again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or rebook her. She’s truly a thoughtful and special person who will care for your pets so you can relax while you’re away.

We had such a great experience with Nathalie! She took amazing care of our dogs — made sure they got plenty of walks, playtime, and love. One of our pups is diabetic, and she handled the insulin shots perfectly with care and confidence. The house was spotless when we got home, and we really appreciated the photo updates and messages throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Alex was incredibly kind and patient with us as we were nervous to leave our pups for the first time. She came to do a meet & greet and we knew right away she was a good fit. She is empathetic and kind with their needs, and was excellent about administering meds to our senior dog. We will definitely re-book!
