“The Best Dog Sitter Ever! This was our very first time using a sitter, and we will never go back to boarding! Ericka went above and beyond every single time she cared for our pups. They were so happy and comfortable, we could tell they were being loved just like they are at home. Ericka was amazing with communication! She sent tons of pictures and videos, kept us updated after every visit, and always made us feel at ease while we were away. She was also incredibly flexible; when our flights were delayed and we had to add two last-minute visits, she responded right away and didn’t hesitate to help. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. Ericka is the real deal! We’re beyond grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Jacob was awesome he was super flexible when it came to times especially with how my schedule was, every check in he provided updates to my pets and was really helpful and understanding to my schedule.”

About: With over **40 years of hands-on experience** caring for animals of all kinds, my heart and home have always belonged to the furry, the feisty, and the four-legged. From the time I could walk, I was surrounded by a vibrant mix of animals—**German Shepherds, Huskies, Labradors, Poodles, Pomeranians**, and even the more unexpected companions like **raccoons, squirrels, and capuchin monkeys**. Each one taught me something new about loyalty, trust, and unconditional love. Pet sitting isn't just a job for me—**it’s a calling**. I provide every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and gentle attention I’ve given to my own over the years. Whether your fur baby is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. From belly rubs and playtime to medication and special diets, I handle it all with heartfelt dedication. My goal is simple: **to give you peace of mind** knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and deeply cared for while you're away. Because when you're part of my pet sitting family, your pets become my pets too. 💕🐾 7 days per week availability. Require a minimum of 2 days' notice to book. I work from home in my day job and am able to flex my schedule to most clients' needs with minimum required notice as per above. I am very meticulous in my care for your furbaby and take pride in my ability to be astute and attentive in my care whether in your home or while walking your furbaby. Rest assured they are safe in my company.
“Michael was great. We had four cats, one which had to be kept separate and another with special needs, and he took care of them with no issues. I would definitely recommend him.”

“Chantal was so great with my pup. She went above and beyond by walking my fur baby every visit (I couldn’t book both the walk and drop-in visit at the same time) upon my request. Chantal can be trusted: she checked in and left right on time and followed all my requests. She even played with my pup every visit. Chantal is now my go-to person every time I leave town. Thank you, Chantal!”

“Kayla was amazing! Jax sometimes gets nervous or anxious when we aren’t there and with him being older we really need someone who will give him as much TLC as we would if we were home and Kayla did just that. She followed our Pet Care sheet to a T and let us know if there were any issues or if she had any questions!”

In my clients home I ensure to do a meeting first to get to know your animal and your preferences when feeding, dietary needs, and the location of care needs for the animal. Pictures along with a report on how your furry friend did will also be included at end of services!
“Briana was very kind and communicative. She took on my booking very last minute and saved my vacation after my last sitter canceled last minute the day before. She sent photos each time she made a visit. My boys really seemed to like her, the photos were so warming, silly, and I could tell they were very comfortable around her. I'm very grateful that she was able to help this past week and will definitely rebook if she's available!”

We’ve got two friendly cats who are used to visitors, a pet playground in our community, and a cozy balcony set up with water, toys, and a fan so they can relax. My wife, my son, and I all share the care — my wife has a natural love for animals, and even my homeschooled son has learned empathy and responsibility through caring for them. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — just the way y’all would do it yourselves. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home, whether they’re staying with us or I’m looking after them in their own space.
