“Kristi stayed over the Christmas holidays with our 3 dogs and 1 cat. Two of the dogs are seniors and require medication. She did everything we asked her to do. She is dependable and trustworthy”
“Jeanne was amazing and I would have her move into my home if I could! She took care of the animals so well and she was so sweet and the animals loved her and I loved her and my husband even loved her. Thank you so much, Jeanne!”
“Sade was an amazing caregiver for my pup! She was attentive to her needs and my expectations. I appreciated how she checked in with me regularly and asked how I’d like to hear from her and what I would want to know. I will gladly use her again and let my traveling friends know about her as well.”
“Kayla was great! She was willing to stay in our home to watch our pups and showed them lots of love! We received photos and videos which is a big plus for us! Will definitely rebook!”
“Anna was great with my anxious pup. She took great care of him, spent tons of time with him, gave him all his meds and was so communicative. She sent pictures and updated me on his anxious eating habits. The house was well taken care of, she brought in mail etc. Highly recommend Anna!!”
“The perfect sitter! I have two big dogs. They are awesome but 150lbs of dog can be a handful. He handled them like a pro and they adore him. I look forward to booking again. I felt so comfortable being away from the house knowing they were in great hands.”

“Ann was amazing! She took such good care of our babygirl and our house while things were going wrong lol. Would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pets while you can’t.”
“Having Ayisha at our place was just amazing. She was super nice with our dog. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay and even went out of her to help us solve a small issue at home. We are so grateful for her care and kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their pets. We ll definitely be calling her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! They took excellent care of our two dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was great throughout the stay, with regular updates and photos that showed our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that our dogs received plenty of attention, love, and exercise. We came home to two happy dogs and a clean environment, which we truly appreciated. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter, and we look forward to booking with them again in the future!”
“Jennifer is the perfect person to trust your fur buddies with. She is great and I will never hire someone different unless I have to. I plan my trips around her availability.”
About: I have grown up taking care of my dog Bruce who is now 12 years old. Neighbors and friends have reached out to me to take care of and watch their dogs because they know I am someone they can trust. I am currently a life guard and an online college student with a flexible school schedule. I use dog sitting as my side hustle to make a little extra money along with my current job. I have taken care of dogs whose owners use kennels and a fenced in backyard for playtime, and also the opposite. This would be no kennel but keeping the dog inside when I leave, and taking the dog outside for playtime in a fenced in backyard. This depends on your preferences. I will feed, play with, and give potty breaks/outdoor playtime for your dog. I can also walk your dog for an extra charge.
“Thank you Casey for your awesomeness. Yogi loved your companionship. We both truly appreciate your kindness, happiness, helpfulness and awesomeness. Yogi loves his new friend Casey. We both look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your excellent attention and friendship. 😊⭐️🤗⭐️🐕”
“Yvette took excellent care of Bailey. He is 15 and not feeling his best; yet, she was there for him all the time she watched him while we were at a son’s wedding. Anyone who is looking for the best care for your pet, you can’t go wrong with Yvette.”
“Sherrie is fantastic. She took such great care of Winnie and my apartment while I was away. Lots of pics and updates. Had no troubles at all with her feeding or medicine schedule. I can’t recommend Sherrie enough, she’s awesome!”

I cannot say good enough things about Raymell! She was wonderful watching my golden retriever, she was in the best care while I was gone. I received constant updates and photos. She went above and beyond. I will 100% be rebooking for her in the future. Wish I could give her more than 5 stars for treating my baby as her own while I was gone.
Arrived early and was able to stay later than anticipated! She arrived to the hotel early and kept my dog company until our return. My dood is very Velcro and gets anxious when we leave. “Sue” was able to reassure her and kept her calm and quiet and those avoiding any hotel guests complaining…Highly recommend!! Will definitely contact her again for our next visit to the area.
We had a great experience with Corrina. She was super responsive and responsible with our dogs. The most important thing for us is the safety and wellbeing of our dogs and they were exactly the same when we returned as when when we had left, which is the only thing I could ever ask for. We look forward to our next sitting!
