Thank you Richard for taking care Of our baby!”

About: I have petsat and walked dogs for quite a few years. I grew up with larger dogs and will be sure to treat yours with the utmost love and care. I have experience with animals of all sizes & I can easily adapt to the routine of your fur babies, and will prioritize them above anything else as my love for animals is that immense. I also have experience with cats & rabbits. I have my two cats named Moose & Pebble, 11 parakeets, and a dog named Moo. I update my availability weekly, but I will always be communicative about it. This is something I do in my free time and thoroughly enjoy spending time with doing. I am very passionate about animals. I follow written instructions to a T. I am very respectful of people’s homes and can be trusted. I send hourly updates whenever possible and make sure to be communicative when it comes to your fur baby or any possible questions that may pop up.

“Maciyah was super accommodating and helpful when I had to book her last minute. And Duke seemed to really enjoy his stay. She sent tons of pictures and got him lots of walks. I highly recommend boarding with Maciyah.”


“Hannah was awesome!! She was so kind and caring to our pup and communicated to us regularly while we were gone. The house was left very clean when we arrived home and our pup was happy. Thank you Hannah!!”


“Jennifer was great! She watched my three quirky pitty babies over the 4th of July weekend. Communication was great, lots of pictures and all the puppies looked to be having fun :) I would definitely book again and recommend to friends.”


“Lauren is awesome! Very responsive, timely, and communicative and you can tell she truly cares about The pets she takes care of. Pepper was in great hands while I was gone. they even went for a run and long walk which my dog loves! My home was also extremely clean and tidy when I got back - I could hardly tell Lauren had stayed there! Thank you so much.”


About: I bring not just experience, but heartfelt understanding. I currently have two young, energetic dogs and had the privilege of loving my previous senior dog. That journey taught me the full spectrum of pet care-from playful puppyhood to the tender needs of aging companions. I work full-time in healthcare, mostly from home. With an internet connection I can work almost anywhere. My dogs are rarely left at home for more than a few hours and never left alone overnight. I give that same time and energy to your pets. I will follow whatever guidelines you prefer within your home. Whether that’s crating, sleeping on the bed, or their own special bed. I take frequent walks (if desired) and do not leave pets outside unattended.

“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!”


“Kayla is a great pet sitter and has house sat for me on multiple occasions. Kayla has been great with my 2 dogs and 2 cats, always sending picture and video updates. Kayla is also SO mindful of our space, making sure to keep it tidy and in order while we are gone.”


“Allie made Skeeter's first time being watched while I was on vacation stress-free. Updates were perfect and the pictures were adorable. Skeeter is a rescue dog and part Chi so can be temperamental with new people, but he was already relaxed on the couch when I left. Allie followed Skeeter's special instructions and I knew he was in good hands. I think Skeeter found his person!”


“Erin is by far one of the best people you can book. Period. My dog loves her and she is amazing to work with. She constantly sends updates and pictures of my dog when I'm away. Whenever I have her house sit, it's almost like nobody ever stayed over. She is very tidy to the point where I question if she even stayed 😂. Whenever I go on vacation Erin is my first and only Rover that I would want to book. If I could rate her 6 stars, I would!”


“Bridget was an excellent sitter, one of my dogs fell ill while I was away and she took such good care of her and kept in contact with me the entire time and put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond taking such great care of my dogs. Would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her in the future.”


“Emily was an extraordinary dog sitter! She went over and above to provide a comfortable and relaxing time for our two old dogs. We were constantly updated with cute pictures of them playing and came home to a squeaky clean house! We cannot say enough positive things about our experience.”

About: I am a huge animal lover and have had many dogs and cats throughout my life. I currently own a 3 year old Australian Shepherd and a calico kitty! I have plenty of experience with multiple dog breeds and I don't discriminate. I have experience taking dogs for walks, feeding them, giving medications, bathing them, cleaning up messes, and playing with them. I know how important it is for your pets to be well cared for, so I hope to provide the peace of mind of knowing your pets are happy and taken care of! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time available! I typically work 10-20 hours a week but will still be available on my work days for check-ins and walks! I do have my own dog, so if you request me for house-sitting please note I will either have to bring him with me, or I will not be able to stay full time as I'd have to go home to take care of him as well. I have plenty of experience with multiple types of dogs. I have been doing research on dog body language and understanding their cues so I will know how to listen to their boundaries to make them as comfortable as possible! I practice positive reinforcement training so if you have a stubborn dog, know I'll be able to handle them well!


“Excellent with our Zoey. On meet and greet, he took her for a walk with my boyfriend. This impressed us both because the extra time he took for us to get to know him and see how Zoey was with him. Definitely a call back. Thank you Sei.”
