“Eden was fantastic with our older English bulldog! She was reliable, punctual, and took such great care of her. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Eden and will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Eden!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years now with plenty of experience with most breeds, ages, and personalities! Coming from a family with 5 dogs, I have plenty of experience with handling multiple dogs schedules, feeding times, and medications. I also have plenty of experience with puppies, as well as senior dogs! I walk about 4-5 miles daily, so I am always active and ready to play with your pup! I have a true passion and love for dogs and want to share that to help others! :) I am currently working part time at a restaurant and med spa, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to travel and do overnight stays! I have a fenced in backyard with one mini dachshund at home. I am able to come to your house or bring a dog to me!
About: I've had family dogs for 13 years, but started taking care of some of my neighbors' dogs 5 years ago, whether it be taking them for potty breaks or staying over at their house to give them attentive care. I work part time at a pet boarding place as a kennel tech, so I have lots of experience with many different breeds and temperaments of both cats and dogs. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkie to Saint Bernard, and have lots of experience caring for both puppies and senior pets that might need more rigorous attention. I will be working part-time this summer, meaning that on the occasional days I work, I am available any time before 8am and then after 1-2pm. I can still stay over with your pet any day, that just means that on workdays, I would feed and walk them (And any other things necessary) before 8am, and then have to leave for work and then come back at 1-2. Whenever I am not actively at work, I can spend all my time caring for your pets! I am experienced at reading pet body language and adapting to how they respond. I am very communicative and will send lots of updates about your pet, including daily pictures of your fur babies! I can supply treats (with your approval) and can take them to parks and other places for walks, as I have a car and license. I'm dedicated to making sure your animal is as happy as can be :-)
“Kate was excellent! We booked her for an overnight stay for our (in our house) - to keep him company since he has a little separation anxiety. She was very responsive in our communication and with the our pups needs. Our boy is sometimes shy with new people but he took to her right away and he even hung next to her while we did our initial meet up. She catered to him (walks, waters, and lots of cuddles) while she stayed and she left the house as she found it and was very respectful! Highly recommended!”

“Cheryl was absolutely wonderful with Chance. She took such great care of him, kept us at ease, and clearly loves what she does. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer did a great job pet sitting and letting our 4 dogs out for potty breaks during the day. We came home to happy pups and our home the way we left it. Thank you for caring for our fur babies while we were out of town!”

About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up, which peaked my interest in animal care. In high school I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding kennel and gained an internship at the local veterinary office. now in college, I am studying animal science to hopefully get a degree in veterinary medicine, and continue to pet sit for my friends and family including both cats and dogs. I'm currently home from college for the summer, and home most of the time! I do have a car, and am available almost any time of the day. I have pets in my home that are not socialized, so I would not be able to pet sit in my own home, but I am happy to make the trip to the comfort of their own home.
“We loooove Aaliyah!! She’s literally become a part of our family. Our furbabies absolutely love her. When she’s with them I knoow they are being loved on, get belly rubs and hugs, being spoiled, have play time, they’re safe, wonderful outside time and overall well taken care of. She sends pictures and Im just at total peace while Im away from home and my babies. She keeps our babies on schedule and really goes above and beyond. Our home and our babies are safe and secure and we couldn’t have found a better sitter! Aaliyah is 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️PLUS!”

“If you’re looking for a great pet/house sitter, Riley is your person. Riley took great care of my pup and fish, checked in daily with me, sent photos and provided daily walks each day. At the end of the stay, Riley summarized Toby’s week, including highlights and household things she did on a sheet of paper. Riley is very reliable and I’ll definitely book her again in the future.”

“Hailey was so great with our pup! She gave good updates and let us know how he was each day with photo updates. She was also so professional and we loved working with her. Will definitely book again - especially because Kiba loved her!”

About: I’ve trained and certified both of my own service dogs and have been training dogs for 8 years. I managed a dog daycare and have a lot of experience with all sizes, breeds, and ages. I’m currently a contractor that just relocated, I’m available all week almost anytime you need me just need a heads up. I only ask 2 hr notice currently As pet owners we know they are more than that. You want someone who will protect your baby as well as you would. Pictures of your pups upon request!
“Keira was great with our old pup Toby while we were out of town. She was knowledgeable about care and Toby was in great hands. She gave updates and photos throughout the stay.”

“An absolute pleasure to work with. Elaina did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and sent us pictures throughout the day. She also left our home very clean. I highly recommend and will use in the future.”

“5-Star Review for Hannah Hannah did an absolutely fantastic job babysitting my three dogs—Cooper, Cameron, and Anita! She was especially great with Anita, who has tons of energy and needs constant engagement. Hannah kept her entertained and active, which is no small feat! I came home to three happy, healthy dogs and a well-cared-for house, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated that Hannah stayed for the full agreed-upon time, even with our extended travel delays late into the evening. It’s clear she is responsible, reliable, and truly cares about the pets she watches. I’ll definitely be using Hannah’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”

“Kerri was amazing. Stayed at our house and took excellent care of our Great Dane while we were away on a long weekend trip. Sent us updates and left everything super neat and tidy! Look forward to having her sit again :)”

About: I have treated small cuts, and administered insulin to cats and dogs. I have cleaned many ears and eyes for both species in my past. I work at a special school beginning at 7:30 am and am finished with my work day at 3:30. I have off on major school holidays. I have a fenced in backyard and my daughter and I enjoy taking our boys on walks daily if weather permits. Our boys love our couch, and always pick the best seat in the house.

Eden was fantastic with our older English bulldog! She was reliable, punctual, and took such great care of her. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Eden and will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Eden!

Sarah came and hung out/cared for our four crazy medium/large dogs for an entire day and did a great job. She came for a meet and greet and very intently learned all their idiosyncrasies (and they have some doozies). She was very communicative throughout the day and we would definitely hire again!

Kaylee took great care of our pups! Astro and Lola were in great moods when we got back, and our house was in the same condition that we left it. Communication with Kaylee was quick and easy. We would be happy to use Kaylee again to look after our pups and home.

Joan helped us with a last minute request to care for our sick dog within days of our vacation. Oakley had to be isolated due to kennel cough, and he was able to have his own staycation with Joan. Joan’s help brought us peace of mind, and allowed us to continue with our plans. Joan was communicative, sent pictures, and took care of the house. It’s clear she is a true lover of animals and took amazing care of Oakley.

I can’t recommend Natalie enough! From the moment we booked, her communication was prompt, clear, and incredibly reassuring. She treated my dog like her own and respected my home with the utmost care, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly loved and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Natalie again.
