“Katie is the best sitter! Super communicative and shows that she cares for my dog. I’ve used Katie as a sitter on many occasions and will continue to do so. I highly recommend booking with Katie!”
“Shianne was great!! I had not established a pet sitter here yet after a move and had a last minute need and she was there for my dog Hazel. Super communicative and seems to really care about the pets by asking questions to make sure she plays with them as needed. She also sends great check in reports and takes lots of pictures. I will most definitely be using Shianne in the future and would recommend her!”
“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”
“Mandy was amazing! She took the time to get my nervous pup comfortable with her and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing our dogs were in great hands. So grateful for her care and will absolutely be using her again for any trips in the future.”
“I would definitely recommend Allyson. She was on time with her visits with our girl. She informed us of what she did for honey and she made it easy for us to be away.”
“Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!”

About: I have a taken care of dogs since I was little. I currently have a very playful 1 year old lagotto. When I was younger I offer watched and walked my neighbors and sisters pets whenever they went out of town. Work 9-5 during the work week. Come home to walk and let my dog out during lunch. Home for most of the day on weekends. Being away for a hour or two max. I have a fenced in yard and a very playful 1 year old lagotto myself. If needed I can crate mine if needed and separate while feeding. Pets are allowed on furniture as they see fit. Let me know if you would like our dogs to meet first if you are unsure!
“I was really impressed with everything about how Mia took care of my pets. I booked several drop-ins for a weekend for one cat and one dog. Scheduling with her was a dream! This was really helpful because the trip was last minute. While she visited with the pets, she made sure to leave lots of notes and photos through the app which made me feel reassured that everything was fine. There were no accidents while I was gone and I came home to a house in perfect condition - nothing was torn up and both pets had full food and water. It can be really scary giving someone access to your home and pets. Mia made this process feel safe and took incredible care of my pets. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and intend on re-booking for future trips.”
“Clayton took such great care of Pearl! Her feeder got knocked over, and he got her set back up. He was so sweet, she hopped right up into his lap. Gave her some pets, played with her, and even deshedded her a little bit. Thanks, Clayton!”
“Rachel took great care of our 2 kitties! She played with the friendly one and found the shy one hiding! She even went the extra mile and untangled one of our cat's favorite toys that was horribly knotted. Would recommend her for your cats too!”

Will always recommend her!”
