1. Sandra E.
“Sandra was absolutely amazing, and I will 100% be booking her again. She went above and beyond when house sitting and watching my dog and four cats. She’s kind, communicative, passionate about animals, dependable and punctual. Anyone would be lucky to have her watching their pets! When I got home, not only were my pets *very* apparently happy and safe, but my house was in perfect order. She made my bed exactly as I’d left it (she slept in it, with my consent), tidied up the kitchen, washed the pet bowls, put a million throw pillows back in order on the couch and so on. I had typed up and printed a checklist of instructions for Sandra to refer to overnight, and she actually checked off each thing that she did, *and* made little notes for me in regards to things like giving my dog medication and treats! My dog has severe environmental allergies and needs topical and oral meds each day. I was worried about having someone new handle this + his thunderstorm anxiety, but Sandra didn’t shy away at all and actually managed to calm him down amidst what was obviously an anxiety attack (paw licking and chewing, whining, yawning). She texted me as soon as she noticed he was acting “off” and I told her exactly how to handle it. Ten minutes later, she sent me an update — he was happy again! She also sent me photo updates at least six times over the course of the 18 or so hours she spent at my place, both of my dog and cats cuddling with her and enjoying themselves. She spoke so kindly of them, calling them sweet and beautiful and lovingly thanked me for letting her watch them. All in all, I was nervous about hiring a stranger to stay in my home with my pets, and I am so glad Sandra is the one I went with. Sometimes we have no choice but to get some help and Sandra was there to offer that help when I needed it. I’ll 100% be booking her again in the future!”
2. Sandy B.
“I cannot recommend Sandy enough! She took such great care of our pet and our house while we were gone. She sent daily pictures and updates on how our dog was doing, which we loved! We will 100% be using her as our permanent pet sitter!”
3. Michaela D.
“She did a great job watching our 3 dogs overnight. She was very communicative and sent so many updates that made us feel super comfortable. We will definitely use her any time we travel.”
4. Vivi S.
“Vivi was exceptional from our meet & great to our arrival back home. She appreciates clear instructions and follows them all. She communicated her arrival/departures and any scheduled duties timely and included pics to ease our mind. The home & pets were cared for as if all were her own. Her calm demeanor is what all pets (& parents) crave. We will book Vivi again if her schedule meshes with ours.”
5. John L.
“For as along as I’ve known John he’s always been an animal lover and an amazing caregiver to the animals he owns. He has taken care of my dog many many times and my dog comes happy as can be! Rover would be lucky to have John as a dog walker.”
6. Isaac E.
“Isaac is such a responsible pet owner himself. He loves those little animals and will do anything to protect them. Some might say he loves pets more than people which shows his dedication and care. I have had him babysit my dog and let me tell you, My dog loved him more than me. That's how good he is. Trust me your in good hands”
7. Riley K.
“Riley was amazing! She quickly got my anxious Collie calm. I had Riley house sit. All the critters were in great spirits, happy and content. House was neat and tidy. She communicated daily with pictures. I highly recommend her!”

About: In the last year I’ve gone from 3 pups to just one due to cancer. I currently have an almost 2 year old Chug (chi pug) mix who loves all dogs and is submissive. She’s used to big and small dogs as her sisters that recently crossed the 🌈 were a Lab retriever mix and Rottweiler. Lili my chug loves friends to play with. I love working on commands and watching dogs learn and grow. I will love your pup as if they were my own. I also have references available upon request. If your dog is NOT SPAYED OR NEUTERED, I will not accept if I have a pup scheduled of the opposite sex that isn’t spayed or neutered for safety purposes. My pup is fully vaccinated for the safety of your pups and herself so please ensure that your pup is up to date on vaccines. Let me know if your puppy isn’t fully vaccinated yet as there are special precautions that need to be taken and I can only accept 1 unvaccinated puppy at a time from different litters (same litter is okay). I do work full time week day schedules are as follows: Leave home at 7:15 am Return on my lunch to let dogs out/provide enrichment 12:15pm-1pm Return home for the day at 5pm Unless volunteering (will be scheduled around boarding/day care) I’m am home at least 75% of the time on weekends and evenings. I have a large fenced back yard and have baby gates for additional separation/in case your pup is a runner when doors are opened (please let me know if this is the case). I also have a “office” where 1/2 is set up for dogs that need separation as well as two additional separate spaces should the pup need to be separated. I will treat your furbaby as if it is my own and I’m definitely a helicopter dog mom where safety is my number one priority.

She is highly recommended to watch your special animal...you can expect top notch service and care for your animal.”
10. Elizabeth U.
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with our two boys! She took the best care of them over Christmas and was great with communicating and sending us pictures throughout the time we were gone. She made sure they got plenty of love and attention & they both seemed to be so comfortable around her. We will definitely be using her again in the future ?”
11. Katie C.
“Katie was very responsive while she took care of my fur babies! When I got home they were relaxed and very obviously well tended to. I would love to rebook Katie in the future.”

19. Kristina R.
“Kristina is awesome. Our fur babies were well taken care of. We had to make a last minute reservation due to family death and not wanting to kennel them. She didn’t hesitate to step up and help us. We will certainly use her again.”
20. Katie M.
“Katie was a wonderful sitter for our pups! She stayed at our house while we were away for the holidays and took care of our two dogs perfectly. She was professional, kind, responsive and so sweet, giving our pups the love and snuggles they demanded while we were away. Upon meeting her and chatting during our meet and greet, you can tell that she is an animal lover. We loved getting pictures from her throughout the week with updates and were so impressed to return to happy, excited doggies and a clean house. We will absolutely be using her again! 😊”
