“My pups were cared for and I appreciated the updates, communication, and photos during the booking. Angelica was also nice enough to drop in one last time to check on my babies since my flight got delayed. Will be rebooking with her again!”
“Aivy has been a pleasure to work with. Our 70 lb lab mix has mild anxiety with other dogs, but he didn’t have any problems under Aivy’s watch. Her super chill demeanor is so good with him, and when I returned I felt like he didn’t even realize I was gone because he had been so happy with the company he had while I was away. We will definitely be chatting with Aivy again for future trips!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting ever since I was in middle school. I am very familiar with watching dogs for long periods of time, along with staying at their homes. Giving medicine, bathing, and walking I am also very comfortable and familiar with. I am typically always free in the mornings, middle of the day, and flexible during evening hours. Then I am always free on the weekends. I have a cat and a dog both at home, so I am familiar with many services. Including, giving medicine, specially dietary needs, wound care, allergies, and maintaining cleanliness.
“Great sitter. Helped me when another sitter backed out at the last moment. She communicated with me the whole visit. I would definitely recommend her again and book her.”

“Elizabeth took care of our old pups twice. She is great in following instructions. She is very reliable, responsive and responsible sitter. Our pups are happy around her and we are relaxed when she is around to take care of our pups.”

“5 Stars – Excellent Care from Jose! We had a fantastic experience with Jose through Rover! From the start, he was friendly, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. Our dog felt comfortable with him right away, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jose kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which we really appreciated. It was obvious he truly cared and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. When we returned, our pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for Jose’s kindness and reliability — we’ll definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

“Danielle does a great job and we appreciate every time she stays with dogs! Does a great job updating us and sending pictures and keeping Patrica on her normal routine!”

“Manda was awesome!!! We will definitely be asking her to help us again. My boys loved her and that made it so much easier for me to leave them knowing they were being well taken care of.”

“Carol was great! I felt so comfortable with her watching my cats. She sent lots of pictures and communicated well with me throughout the stay. Will definitely be booking future stays with Carol.”


“Julia is absolutely amazing! I am an anxious dog mom and she was so responsive and provided frequent updates that made me feel better while I was away. I also have a pretty difficult dog, so I really appreciate her being so kind and patient. Will definitely be rebooking with her!”

“Best sitting experience we ever have had, and let me tell you… we have had some bad ones! Our Bulldog is not very trusting and within 5 minutes of meeting Ms. Patti, he was sitting with her on the floor, and letting her pet him! We knew we had found the perfect sitter. She came over once more before our trip and the same thing happened! For once, we left feeling very confident that they were in the right hands. He even came out of his hiding place to sit with her which AGAIN, never happens! Ms. Patti is a such a reliable person to have stay in your home as well! Our house looked just like we left it or even better! She kept us up to date on what they were doing/ and if they were having any issues. She sent pictures and texts at least every morning and evening. When we arrived home, the boys were happy to see us but we know they want Ms. Patti back!”

“From the moment we met Lydia, we knew our dogs would be in great hands! Lydia is very honest and considerate and we came home to two very happy dogs and our house looked as if no one had stayed there. We highly recommend Lydia!”

About: Hi! We’re a pet-loving couple who believes every dog and cat deserves a safe, happy, and fulfilling life. With years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, we’re confident, compassionate, and genuinely love what we do. One of us works from home full-time and the other is stay-at-home so your pet will always have company! Our fully fenced yard is perfect for safe outdoor fun, whether that’s soaking up the sun, wrestling with other pups, or chasing after a ball. We’re flexible, attentive, and happy to match your pet’s unique energy and routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something we do, it’s truly our passion. We’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, and share our home with two playful cats, a sweet Aussie, and a lovable Corgi, so we know every animal has their own personality. Your pet will be treated like family, because that’s exactly what they are to us. 🏡 Drop-In Visits With both of us available, one of us can focus fully on your pet while the other helps out with light household tasks if needed.

Your pet gets quality attention and you get peace of mind knowing everything at home is taken care of! 🐕 Dog Walking Whether your pup needs a run or a longer walk to burn off energy, we’ve got it covered. We walk at your dog’s pace and let them sniff. Walks are a mix of exercise and mental enrichment, because we know a good walk is about more than just steps. As fully remote workers, we’re able to care for your pet no matter what schedule they have or the times you need us to drop in. We provide constant updates so that you feel comfortable while you’re away from your pet. Pets under our care are never left alone, and we make sure all interactions are positive and that everyone is having a good time. We treat each pet with the same love, patience, and care we give our own.

Gianna was absolutely amazing! We had a meet and greet before we left for vacation and our dogs instantly loved her. My one, Izzy, jumped in her arms to be held very quickly. Gianna sent pictures and videos daily while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again and recommending to friends and family!

Julia is absolutely amazing! I am an anxious dog mom and she was so responsive and provided frequent updates that made me feel better while I was away. I also have a pretty difficult dog, so I really appreciate her being so kind and patient. Will definitely be rebooking with her!

Ross stepped in to help us out at the last minute when our previously scheduled sitter had to leave town for a family emergency. He stayed at our house overnight with our older dog and she was so happy to have him there. He was responsive, sent photos, and did a great job. We will definitely be reaching out to him again!

Isabelle was amazing! She helped me out with a super last-minute house sitting request and took such great care of my dog, Alaska. I’m a bit of a nervous dog mom and gave her a lot of instructions, but she handled everything with so much patience and care and made me feel completely at ease. I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her!

Laina is the absolute best!! I have a big yellow dog, a small old dog and a cat that rules the world. Laina treated them so well that when I returned they were all calm and happy as nothing in their own routines had changed. Thanks to Laina me being out of town was that much easier and my return was even more fantastic with a house that was just as clean, if not better, than I had left it! Thanks, Laina!!
