About: I have taken up a couple overnight dog/house sitting gigs. I am ready to take on last minute jobs and am very communicative and dependable. I will be able to take up any pet/house care anytime over the summer. Whether this means walking, feeding, sitting or bathing! Dogs or Cats! Depending on the pet, I will play with or just keep watch over them. I do an exceptional job of following directions and keeping tidy!

About: We have had my family dog for over 10 years and I had the pleasure of learning how to train a puppy. From potty training to teaching her tricks, it was such an experience to be able to grow up alongside a furry family member. I typically work about six to eight hours a day, monday-friday. I am completely free nights and weekends and am willing to do check-ins as needed. As someone who owns pets, I would want a caretaker to treat them with the best care they can provide, which is what I strive to do.

Jessica is outstanding! She stayed in our home with our 2 dogs. She was very good about communicating and sending pictures daily. It really relieved any anxiety we felt at having to leave our “kids” for an extended period of time. The house was left in PERFECT order and the pups were well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Lauren took such great care of our crew! We were a little anxious leaving our cats and dogs overnight for the first time and Lauren made us feel at ease. When we returned home our house was left exactly as we left it. Additionally, some of our most shy cats came out to see her which is so rare for them! We are so happy to have found Lauren and look forward to having her take care of our pets in the future

If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!!! ✨ Brioni went over and above for us and Milly. She sent updates the entire time we were gone. Played and loved on her a lot. She even gave her a bath without us asking because Milly got a little dirty. To top it all she left us the sweetest note and picture of Milly in a frame!! Can't recommend Brioni enough! We will be using her again for sure!! ❤️

Ana was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She was incredibly diligent, kind, and attentive, and it was clear she truly cared about my dog’s comfort and well being. She stayed at my home, kept everything tidy. Knowing my dog was in such loving and responsible hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring sitter. I would happily book her again!

This is the third time we have hired Lexi in the last six weeks.... and there is a reason she has become our "go-to" sitter -- our kitties love her, and she does a great job. There is not much we can say that has not already been written in prior reviews -- we are very happy having Lexi take care of our home and our cats while we are out of town. :-)

Leah was AMAZING with our dogs. She gave us updates with them and gave them so much love. I can tell she’s a dog person because of the way the dogs act with her and the love and compassion she shows them. I would recommend Leah 10/10 and will use her at every possible dog sitting opportunity we have!
