“She was great with the dogs. My dogs were terrors and decided to tear stuff up and had an accident but she helped out and cleaned up and blocked the stairs and everything so I could enjoy my vacation. She did great letting the dogs out and feeding them and giving them some time and attention. Would definitely recommend.”

“We loved having Atenas take care of our two cats! She was very communicative and shared lots of pics. Atenas went above and beyond to make sure our cats were entertained and cared for. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and hope we can hire her again in the future.”
“We’ve used Elizabeth’s services multiple times for drop in visits for my Golden Retriever and recently she also house sat him for a week. Elizabeth is awesome - always punctual, easy to communicate with, very organized, kept us updated about Milo and we even came back to very clean house. I trust her completely with my pet.”
“Carol was fantastic and so kind! We were a little nervous because it was our puppy’s first time with a sitter, but he LOVED her!! We’ve never seen him so sad to see someone go! We’re excited to have Carol back again soon! Our sweet boy was happy and healthy… that’s all we could ask for! =)”
“Patti was amazing with our two dogs. She was friendly, kind, prepared, professional, and accommodated all of our asks (Those also with mischievous doodles know exactly what I mean!). Going on vacation and leaving your pups at home isn’t easy but Patti made sure it was a seamless, great experience for us. Thank you so much, Patti! Will be booking again for our next trip.”
“Rhashay was AMAZING for our weekend trip!! She updated me with pictures and took great care of our dog and cat. She fit time into her busy schedule to make sure they were fed and walked and happy. She also so graciously added an extra day to the end of our stay when our flight home got cancelled and we had to wait an extra day to come home. I was so relieved and very grateful for her kindness! We will definitely book again in the future. Thanks Rhashay!!”
About: Ive grown up loving animals. Especially taking them on fun adventures like hiking or walking to new areas. The hardest part about being a young adult is not being able to have a dog due to finances which is why I am always taking care of others animals any chance I get. They would get the most attention, love and care while I am taking care of them:) I have a flexible schedule with work and am a major home body unless I’m going on dog friendly adventures. I like spending my free time being active outside or relaxing on the couch. I grew up with dogs and am always attentive towards them. I make sure there is always water and listen to them if they are hungry, playful, or need to use the restroom. I always make sure they have the best care and keep them happy.
“Thank you so very much Casandra for taking amazing care of our fur baby while we were on vacation and even staying over longer when we ran into some travel delays. You were amazing as always!”
About: I have four pets of my own! Mikey, my 9 year old Pitbull who recently went blind, Bella my 10 year old Husky, Teddy my Shih Tzu who is 3 and keeps the other pups young, and Leo my 11 year old easygoing tortoise :) I’m very comfortable with a wide range of needs, temperaments, and energy levels. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and cared for and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away! I am currently available full time while I'm on the job hunt so I am flexible to you and your pets needs, feel free to reach out and let me know what you need! Since I have a full house, I am unable to care for other pets in my own home, but when I am in yours I am very mindful of sticking to what you and your pets are comfortable with and what is in their routine!
“We haven’t gone on a trip in years- with an older dog recovering from some back issues- Aivy sent pictures and updates- I felt they were in good hands! I wasn’t worried once that they didn’t get the attention that they wanted”
“Aurora house sat for our Violet and Hazel & we were very thankful for her time with our girls. She was considerate and mindful during our meet & greet and really took the time to make sure to provide extra lovings with our Hazy who struggles with anxiety. Aurora cuddled with Hazy on the couch and our Vi during bedtime. I will give her a huge shout out that she was an absolute trooper when the neighborhood power grid when down. She kept us informed of the situation and kept the situation calm and under control until luckily it came back on a few hours later. Our house was in perfect condition when we came home and were thankful for her communication and photos throughout her stay.”
“Our pets were in good hands with Julia while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was great at communicating with us, and updated us with pictures along the way. We can tell our pets had a good time with her and would recommend using Julia for all of your pet sitting needs.”

Emma V.Star Sitter
“I cannot recommend Emma enough! My dog Noodles is not the easiest to care for. Shes stubborn, anxious, and can be reactive with new people. But Emma handled her with incredible patience, calm energy, and professionalism. From the very first visit, they took the time to earn her trust, moved at her pace, and respected her quirks. She sent thoughtful updates and photos that showed Noodles not just tolerating someone new, but actually relaxing and enjoying herself. If you have a dog with big feelings, Emma is absolutely the person you want caring for them.”
