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!

Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.

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!

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.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.
