“Mallory was beyond amazing, both for my pets as well as my house, going above and beyond for us, particularly in a tricky time. I would certainly book with Mallory again in a heartbeat.”


“Meghan was such an amazing sitter for our pup! She was super responsive and communicative throughout her whole stay. I had no worries while we were out of town that our sweet boy was well cared for. She’s the best so if you can have her take care of your pet, do it!”


“Kyle took great care of my pup over the weekend. He made sure my dog’s normal routine was followed and spent lots of time giving him attention. Would recommend and will be booking again in the future.”


“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town! She gave me frequent updates and sent adorable pictures and it was so nice to go out of town and not worry at all! Highly recommend her!”


“Cindy was wonderful. She took excellent care of our senior cats while we were away for the holidays. Kind, thorough, and very communicative, we knew she was taking great care of them so we could relax on our travels. Very grateful for that! Recommend Cindy highly!”


“Egon watched me 2 pups while I was out of the country for 10 days. She was great and was patient with them as they were anxious with me and my son gone. She communicated well during her stay….I could not have asked for more”


“jasmine did an absolutely wonderful job with my three pups. i have two mini-aussies and an aussie/husky mix, so three high energy and high velcro dogs. she sent me lots of pictures and seemed to really bond with them while i was away. aussies definitely need you to prove that you’re worthy of their trust. i am rather type A about my dogs’ routine and very verbose, but she followed my instructions to a tee and kept me updated throughout the day. i have gps collars that count their steps and sleep. their goal is usually 20k steps. one of my dogs was hitting 60k/day while she was there and i greatly appreciate her putting in the time and energy to make my dogs happy and relaxed. i will definitely be reaching out to jasmine whenever i need a dog sitter.”



“Emily is terrific. She did such a great job watching our pup. Our dog experiences pretty bad separation anxiety and typically doesn’t eat all his meals when we are away - but with Emily he did! She was absolutely wonderful and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! She sent us pictures daily, kept the house tidy and was simply great to have. Thanks again Emily for the great experience!”


“Averi took excellent care of our dog Rocco and our home while we were away for a long weekend! She was very accommodating and Rocco was so relaxed when we got home! 10/10!”


“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”


“Rachel is great! Super communicative, reliable, and punctual. She went above and beyond to take good care of our dog for the weekend. Our dog had such a fun time with her and he seemed so calm and content after she left.”


“Emma was great!! We felt really comfortable leaving Leo with her. She sent tons of updates and pictures and also took great care of our house (she even washed our bed sheets for us!). We came back and Leo seemed really happy and healthy. I recommend her 100%! Thanks Emma!!”


“Seline was super helpful and great house-sitting our dog and cat when we were out of town for the weekend. She provided photo updates each day and communicated quickly throughout the stay.”


“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”


“Jora was great! Koda is a high energy dog and needs a good amount of physical and mental stimulation to keep her from getting into mischief. When I got home, she was completely relaxed almost like I never left. The house looked like it did when I left for my trip and I got great updates throughout the weekend from Jora on how it was going. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again.”


“Once again, Daniel has gone above & beyond to care for our doggos whole house sitting, one of whom currently requires extra medical attention and TLC. Knowing he is caring for them takes a huge mental weight off of travel.”


About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets for years. I have been trusted with feeding, walking, bathing, and loving their pets. I am passionate about providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for pets while their parents are away! I am currently a student, so I would love to hang out with your pet as a study break! My schedule varies week by week, but I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I love to play, walk, and run with my beagle. And when she’s worn out, I love to lay on the couch with her! This extends to all pets. I love playing with them and making sure they get their energy out…and cuddling with them when they’re tired! I adhere to whatever feeding schedule is desired and I constantly ensure they have water!
