“I can tell that my dog Abby had a great time with Daisy and her family for a long weekend. I appreciated the texts and pictures they sent showing them taking Abby and their dog on walks and how Daisy was available on such short notice.. I would definitely recommend Daisy to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog.”
“Hatsuki is the sweetest and kindest sitter I’ve ever had! Gizmo was very happy, I could tell he was well loved and taken care of by all the amazing photos and updates she provided. I am extremely grateful for the genuine care and kindness! Thank you!”
“Nathan had a blast! Because normally he gets scared going with strangers but the second day he didn’t even bother to look back. They are amazing with Nathan and great with communicating about him as well.”
“Mikayla was very good about keeping in touch and sending video and picture updates of my baby! She created a welcoming environment during drop off and made me feel super comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would 100% book again :)”
“Angel was great to work with. She made our dog feel right at home. Angel gives you an update daily on how your pet is doing and includes pictures!! Would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
“Karen is the best pet sitter that we have ever had! I was able to go on vacation and feel confident that my dog was going to be safe and happy while I was gone. Karen sent us daily updates on how Zoey was doing and sent us several pictures every day. She responded back within a few minutes every time I reached out to her. Karen is very knowledgeable about dogs and how to handle different medical conditions and dog temperaments and personalities. She was able to accommodate my dog's specific diet and medical needs with no problem. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience and will be using Karen again the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Myra was great with our fur babies. She took excellent care of them while we were on vacation. We received updates and pictures letting us know they were happy and in good hands. I would definitely recommend using her. And we will be using her the next time we go on vacation.”
“Such a kind and caring family. This was Shay's 1st time staying without us and she did wonderful. They made her feel loved and safe, which really put our minds at ease! Definitely will use in the future!”
“Anna was AMAZING! So thankful we were able to leave our dog with her. He always gets sick to stomach after/when we are gone. He had no problems!! With this I am certain she kept him calm and stress free! It was such a joy to have someone who understood his behavior and used effective ways to help him stay calm!”
“Jeanie was wonderful with our cockapoo Lily, who has a lot of anxiety, when she took care of her for 4 days. Jeanie even did her errands ahead of time so she wouldn't have to leave Lily alone. She went beyond the call of duty! Thank you so much Jeanie!”
“She really helped me out and she let me extend extra days on short notice and she just didn't absolute great job with Carhartt I am will definitely have her as my number one go to for babysitters”
“We were planning our trip to Florida and decided we just couldn't leave Kaylee at a kennel. We had used Rover before but our previous sitter was unavailable. I searched the local area for someone else that could accommodate us. I came across Joanne and saw all her great reviews. I'm so glad we went with her. We took Kaylee over for a meet and greet with her 2 puppers and she got along great with them. We scheduled a time on the day we were leaving and met with her husband (who is super nice). Joanne sent us pics of Kaylee letting us know she was doing great. On the way home, we scheduled a time to pick Kaylee up. We're hoping our next trip Joanne is available to watch Kaylee again!”
“Thank for sending so many pictures and keeping us updated! Bucky obviously loves being there and feels comfortable! I still can’t believe he was willing to share his dog bed with your dogs! I love that! I’m glad we have somewhere to take him where he feels that safe!”
“Catherine and Adam did a great job. They sent pictures and updates to let me know how my dog was doing each day. They were very nice people and I was worried about someone new but they made sure I was comfortable with his care. I would recommend them very much but don't want to because I need them free for my doggie. LOL. Thank you very much for them. Also plane was late and they were nice about keeping him when I was in trouble. They get 100% super.”
“I highly recommend Greg, I had a short-notice trip and he took great care of Kitsune while I was away. Gregory was reliable and communicative in sending me updates. I will definitely be booking again in the future.”

I’ve always loved being around dogs because they’re more than just pets—they’re family. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so my goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable from the very beginning.

Every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, patient, and pay attention to the little things.
