“Paul took great care of our two puppies while we were on vacation! He sent multiple updates daily with pictures, and they were extremely well cared for. We never had to worry about them, and we were able to enjoy our vacation! I would leave my pets with Paul anytime!!”
“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”
“This was our first time with Bianca and she was amazing. We have 3 dogs, 2 of them are kind of anxious around strangers but she has a confidence about her and she handled them just fine. We got pics and videos everyday along with updates throughout the day. We had booked her for 3 day weekend and because of plane delays we couldn’t make it home until 2 days later and Bianca was so flexible and accommodating that we could relax knowing that she was there with our pups.”
“Tegra made me feel comfortable with leaving my senior pup. She provided photos and communicated with me when the many times I reached out to check in on Tedi. I came home to a happy pup!”
“Jeanee is amazing! She took the best care of our pets, provided frequent updates, and was honestly a joy to communicate with! She will most definitely be my first choice for future pet sitting needs.”
“Jasmine was amazing! She was extremely communicative and professional. I would absolutely book Jasmine again. She sent tons of photos and updates and my pets loved her!”
“Jax was phenomenal! Our pup can be a handful at times and she handled him so well. She took the time to not only take him out but to play with him and get him tired out. Not to mention our pup absolutely loves her. I will be booking with her again!”
“Joey was fantastic. She took our dogs on multiple walks and played with them in the yard. Joey sent us multiple pictures throughout her time with the dogs and gave us updates regularly. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Thank you so much for watching Bowey! We truly appreciate you taking such good care of him! Also it was super helpful when our trip got extended and you were able to watch him a few extra days! We will definitely be in touch for future stays!”
“Allie pet-sat for our pets (2 doodles and 1 kitty) for three days with one overnight stay. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She met with us ahead of time to get to know our pets, ask questions, get to know our preferences, and get the house key and last minute instructions. Her communication through everything has been fabulous, including regular updates while we were out. Allie was prompt, professional, and so so kind. We felt 100% comfortable leaving our fur babies with Allie, knowing they were getting extra cuddles, pets, and play time. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life! First a Bichon Frise, then a German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who was like my little brother. After he passed away, my parents adopted another German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who I helped care for/train at visits. I also grew up around friends/family cats and dogs whom ranged from small to medium of different breeds. My boyfriend and I have 3 cats, 2 of them I raised since they were kittens. I love fuzzy animals in general (4 legged)! I get off work at 16:00 (4:00pm) Monday through Friday.

As long as they let me, any fur baby I come across will be spoiled with love and cuddles. At home I brush my cats regularly along with cleaning their ears and eye boogies. I vacuum/fur remove the furniture, cat trees (3) and I carpet clean the litter matts. I am naturally an organizational clean freak with 4 1/2 years of hospital housekeeping experience.
