“Excellent care and communication throughout the duration of my trip. Took extra care with elderly pet that was greatly appreciated! Also provided daily photos of my fur babies. Highly recommended. We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”
“Today’s was Mairas first time doing a drop in it visit with canelo while I was at work and she did great she sent me pics and he seems very happy playing with her , she fed him and even gives her his paw. The first time she walked him canelo seemed to instantly trust and like her and today’s drop in visit just further proves it. We will definitely continue you booking with Maira.”
“Sarah checks in on and walks my puppy while I am at work. I was nervous about leaving my puppy alone all day, but Sarah has made the process very smooth. She takes incredible care of my sometimes challenging puppy, and I come home to a happy dog every day. Sarah is great about sending pics and updates, and I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
“was very good about taking care of my dog, communicated well, and did everything I needed even in terms of medication and going beyond by applying the cone on everyday. The small things you know. would very much recommend Dahlia”
“Emilie's visit with Lady and Ranger was excellent! Both pups took a liking to her, I don't think Ranger left her side the whole time! Having a small dog as well, Emilie was very familiar with Lady's behaviors. Both dogs enjoyed her presence and I'd be happy if she continued to watch them.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Vivian provided for our kitties while we were away! She was attentive, loving, and kept us updated with photos and messages that really gave us peace of mind. It was clear our cats were comfortable and happy in her care. Vivian is truly a wonderful pet sitter — reliable, thoughtful, and clearly an animal lover. Highly recommend!”
“Tera is helpful, kind, and punctual. The cats took a liking to her. She is very gentle, caring, and kind with them. She is thorough as well. The cats were well cared for. Would book again, highly recommended.”
“Thank you so much Megan for helping with our two cats. We had never left the baby alone and he was quite the terror, but you were super professional and took care of all of their needs regardless.”
“Denise was amazing! Very tentative to our dogs while showing genuine care during her drop-in visits. Our very nervous dog quickly warmed up to her. I am looking forward to using Denise again in the future”
“Mel did an excellent job with our boys. She was always on time and I know the dogs appreciated the attention she gave them. She was also very flexible with a few last minute changes that really helped us out. I would gladly have her watch our dogs anytime!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years, and have gained much experience and knowledge on how to care for every type of dog. I am good with the brand new puppy, the energetic dog who loves runs and walks, the chill senior dog, and the shy dog! Whatever your dog may be like, I would love to care and love on them! I am currently on summer break until the end of August, so I am free all day and every day to care for your pup! I am ready to care for your dog in your house! Whether you need dog sitting, feeding, bathing, walks or runs, or just hanging out, I am here to care for your pup!
“Lauren was amazing! This is the first time I left my pup at our home and Lauren checked in on him several times through the day. She left detailed notes and took several pictures. Definitely gave us peace of mind! Thank you!”

We had hired Tonia to walk our dog while my in-laws were staying w our kids over a weekend a few weeks ago, and it was a positive experience, so when our regular cat sitter could not accomodate us a couple weeks ago we asked Tonia if she could drop in. She was communicative, reliable, and it seemed like our cat was really comfy with her. Overall just an excellent experience and we’d totally hire again for walks w our dog and for drop ins w our cat. Thank you so much Tonia!
Kristina had her work cut out for her when she agreed to care for our Scamper kitty! 🐈⬛ Scamper came to us because she was born in our backyard! She was feral and we have been caring for her ever since. As she is feral, and not used to too many people, it took our family a long time to be able to pet her, put her in a carrier to transport her to the vet, and for her to come into our house, so we have never left her in the care of anyone outside our family. Well our boys have grown up and out of the house, so we had a dilemma. But after we met with Kristina, we could see right away she was very caring and professional. She sent pictures and updates each time she visited Scamper. For a few days, Scamper stayed under our bed. On the third day Kristina sent a video of Scamper out in our living room letting Kristina pet and love on her! Made my heart sing! Scamper felt that comfortable with Kristina in such a short amount of time, was unbelievable. We are so very thankful for getting to know Kristina, and her peaceful approach to Scamper! Kristina was prompt and completed everything we requested of her.
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter and truly appreciated her care and professionalism throughout the entire process. She was always prompt, communicative, and kept us updated on everything going on with our dog, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She carefully followed all of our house and dog care instructions, including feeding routines and potty schedules, and treated our home and pup with great respect and care. Whenever we needed assistance or had any schedule changes, she was quick to communicate and did her best to accommodate us. We are very grateful for her reliability, attentiveness, and kindness toward our dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!

Emilie was incredibly sweet and attentive with my cat. She went above and beyond to help my cat feel comfortable and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We truly appreciated her care and communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter, and we will definitely reach out to her again in the future.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such loving and responsible hands. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Not only were they attentive to all of our dog’s needs, but they also went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We came home to a calm, happy pup and a clean space—what more could you ask for? If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend them. We will definitely be booking again!
We booked Kathy for three drop‑in visits over two days, and she was absolutely wonderful. Her updates were detailed, thoughtful, and reassuring, and she sent multiple photos each visit so we always knew how our dogs were doing. She truly went above and beyond — not just in caring for our pups, but also in being attentive and respectful of our home. It’s clear she takes pride in what she does, and our dogs were so comfortable with her. We’re grateful for the care she provided and would happily book with her again in the future.
