“I recommend Dani to take care of your fur babies, I was very nervous leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of him as if he was her own. We will definitely use her again.”


“First time using Beth and we could not be more pleased! New to the area and have only boarded at our vet. Last minute booking, she saved us! Helped with a booking charge error with Rover (multiple animals) Came for a pre-visit, always super responsive to communications, daily photos, in touch about the details. We love that our pets could be more comfortable in their environment with the disruption in their routine. She treated our pets as her own. We had in-home care and she took care of our home as if it were hers too. She (as long as she will have us!) is our #1 pet sitter! ?”


“Serena was fantastic with all 4 of our pets but she was especially great with our 2 quirky, older dogs who need some special handling. This was the longest we’ve left our dogs with someone other than a family member and Serena made us feel super comfortable - she was very communicative with pictures and checked in with me if there was anything she was uncertain about or had questions on. Absolutely recommend booking with her!”


“Isabella is pure joy. She is knowledgeable as well as professional. She kept in touch thru txts and sent pics often. I will book her over and over. If you are looking for a pet sitter Isabella is the one. Isabella I am grateful for the time you spent with my family. See you next time”


“Sara was amazing!! She stayed at my house for a week with my dog and cat. She sent pictures every day and let me know of their adventures. She even got my antisocial cat to snuggle with her - animal whisperer! When I got home, the house was as clean as I left it. I will definitely use Sara again!”


“Marian is very experienced with dogs and provided some basic training and tips for the few hours she watched our dogs! One of our dogs is nervous and has separation anxiety and Marian worked well with him. She was professional and communicated well with us. We would highly recommend her for others.”


“Jillian was great. Our 4 dogs took to her quickly and she did a good job caring for them and the cat. She was very considerate and kept us updated along the way. No issues came about and we will definitely have her again in the future if/when needed. I highly recommend her to anyone.”


“Rae was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took the time to get to know our dog’s routine, quirks, and favorite activities. While we were away, we received regular updates and adorable videos, which gave us total peace of mind. Truly above and beyond! We’ll absolutely be booking again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I’m around 10 years old. I myself have a yellow lab and a German shepherd along with 2 cats. I myself have personally trained both. I’m the person who is always out helping look for lost animals. Somehow lost animals also end up on my front porch looking for a way in. My son and I always stop to pet someone’s dog. I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to animals. Currently home for the summer not working. Available 24/7. No vacation plans. Large fenced in yard. Love to take my lab for walks/swims if your dog likes water. I’m up with my animals at 6 am for feedings and outside time. I would wake up when they wake up to take to the bathroom and feed. I’m usually up with my own animals around 6 am. Lots of playtime and fetch. Snuggles and treats. Walks.

“Maria was enthusiastic, kind, caring and patient during her two nights of sitting for us. One of our dogs can be difficult to care for due to intense anxiety but Maria navigated this well. She made sure our anxious girl got lots of time outside, which helps her to calm down. We were impressed to see Maddie’s improvement with Maria after only two days. Maria was also very considerate of our house and property. Highly recommend”


“Absolutely perfect person to care for your pet(s) and/or home. All the buzz words apply. Dependable. Caring. Trustworthy. Super care of our home. So comforting to walk into a clean house and love on a happy dog. Even took our trash cans to curb. You can’t go wrong with Austin and Jarris.”
