“Katherin was wonderful and took great care of Roxy. She is not the easiest dog with her anxiety and quirks, but Katherin was so patient with her and went above and beyond going the extra mile making her feel comfortable and getting her to eat as she usually doesn’t eat much when we leave her. She provided daily pictures and updates which made me not worry about her as this was the first time she was cared for other than a family member. I will definitely use her services again!”
About: My dog-sitting history is primarily dogs with a variety of health issues and idiosyncrasies. Does your dog have special needs or odd habits? I've got it covered! Normies welcome too. ;) I work full time during the week, so I'm available weekends if you need me during the day or I can lend my services on weekdays evenings/mornings depending on proximity. I'm religious about monitoring doors and making sure everyone is appropriately harnessed/leashed. I have experience administering topical and oral medications and can maintain time-sensitive care schedules.
“Lydia was FANTASTIC with our anxious pup and two cats! The dog and one of the cats have medical needs and Lydia handled them with expertise. She took the time to find a great walking path to give our dog daily walks since we are new to the area. She was a pro with his anxiety and kept him comfortable the whole time we were gone. We felt so comfortable and were fully able to relax. We highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or house sitter - you won’t find anyone better!”
“Elise was great at watching my pup! Shes super friendly and was responsive and gave me daily updates. She was also very thoughtful and considerate during her stay. I felt safe knowing that my pup was in good hands while I was away! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and will use her in the future as well :)”
“Pam was a great dog sitter! She saved us! At the last minute, a Rover sitter canceled and I contacted Pam and she immediately came over and agreed to watch the dogs. I knew they were in good hands when I met her. She is kind and sent pictures while we were away. Pam we really appreciate you!”

About: I haven’t yet met a dog I don’t like. Not so big on slobber, but I can get behind everything else. My entire dad’s side of the family has had dogs for as long as I can remember, and three years ago we adopted our own dog, Percy. I helped train him from five months old to now and I continue to help caring for him every day. I have dogsat for various families in my neighborhood and they always ask me to come back!

In your home I will do the same.

Adrian M.
“I have a 4 year old poochon who is a bit shy with strangers and the way he gravitated towards Adriane had me so surprised!! He allowed her to give him a belly rub which I’ve only seen him do to the immediate household members that live in the house. Adriane definitely has a warm and friendly spirit to her that my little guy Cody drew towards. Adriane made sure his feedings were on time. She not only walked him but also took him to the dog park in our neighborhood and sent pictures to update me throughout the day. Cody’s fur is very high-maintenance and needs to be brushed everyday. Adriane took care of that for me and gave me one less thing to worry about when I got home. I highly recommend her services and I look forward to having her watch Cody again!”
