“Breayn took care of our two pups while we were out of the country. She was with them for every feeding, their medication, their walks and even to feed the fishes. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Sierra did amazing with her sitting of my two girls. She was communicative and respectful of my home. She sent photos of my girls throughout the sitting, and updated me with any needed information. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Maria stayed with our 2 senior dogs while we were out of the country. We never worried at all about them while we were gone. Maria took such great care of them, kept them in their routine and loved them as we do. She was very detailed and conscientious about their care. It was a seamless transition both leaving and coming home. We highly, highly recommend Maria.”

“Jackie was great! She pet sit my two dogs and cat. She was communicative and sent photos during my trip. I felt totally comfortable having her in my home and caring for my pet kids. Everyone was happy and relaxed when I got home and my house was immaculate. Highly recommend Jackie and will be booking with her again - I feel lucky to have found her!”
“This was my first time using Veronica but I have already rebooked her! Her communication, care & attention to detail is top notch! My babies all loved her at our meet and greet and seemed extremely happy once I arrived home. I am looking forward to continuing to use Veronica’s services and would definitely recommend her!”
“Brendalee was amazing! Sophie really doesn’t take to strangers but by the time I got home she was letting Brendalee rub her tummy! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for pets for most of my life. Over the years, my family had dogs, cats, mice, rats, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, parakeets, macaws, and horses—so I became comfortable around animals with very different personalities and needs. I was also the person neighbors and friends often trusted to care for their pets while they were out of town. I've raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and understand that their needs can change considerably along the way. A couple of years ago, my wife and I said goodbye to our dogs as they reached the end of their lives. We decided not to bring new pets into our home for now, but we still genuinely enjoy having animals in our lives. Caring for other people's pets gives us a chance to get our "pet fix" while giving their humans a dependable backup when they need one. I’m comfortable following established routines and instructions, and I take caring for someone else’s pet seriously. Whether it’s a walk, a visit, some playtime, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m an artist and work on my own schedule, so my days are very flexible. I can usually accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits or walks without having to work around a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. That flexibility also allows me to give each visit the time and attention it deserves rather than rushing from one commitment to the next. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine and environment as familiar as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely. From feeding and walks to medications, boundaries, and household rules. And I’m careful to make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. I also understand that being trusted with someone’s home is a responsibility in itself. I’m respectful of the space, clean up after myself and the pets, and leave things as I found them. Every animal is different, so I pay attention to their behavior and comfort level rather than forcing interaction. My goal is pretty simple: keep your pets safe, comfortable, and cared for, and give you confidence that everything at home is being handled while you’re away.
“Chanel was awesome!! Treated my babies like gold, even though my senior dog was a butthead who was actively rebelling against my being gone by doing his business indoors. She was calm, easygoing, and so very sweet to my babies. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Elsie was absolutely amazing house sitting for our Giant Schnauzer! We received daily updates with photos and videos. She’s a quick responder too! Our dog really enjoyed his time with her! 10/10 recommend, we will be booking again :)”
“Samantha is amazing! We have used her twice in last few months. She is very responsive and sends frequent updates. The first time, our garage door stopped working and she was easy going to work with it to resolve the issue. Would definitely recommend!”
“Andwele once again was a great house sitter and took great care of our 4 furbabies. Thai trip was 2 weeks. And we added a puppy. He loves the babies and takes good care of our home.”
“Robert is Amazing with our dog Lil Bit. She is elderly & takes various medications through out the day. He sees to it and cuddles with her. I’m very impressed with his caring nature.”
“Red has a warm, relaxed vibe and both my dog and cat were immediately comfortable with him. During a 3 night, 3 day weekend trip, he took great care of both my babies and my home. He adheres to clear direction, and even found new ways to entertain my often high energy pooch. I plan to utilize his service again. Thanks Red!”

Kaylee was amazing and we will absolutely use her again. She was great with communicating and sending us photos of our dogs when we were gone. When she initially came over our dogs loved her and we liked the way she was interacting with them so we felt comfortable leaving our pets with her. Kaylee kept our house clean when we returned and we are very appreciative that we have found someone we can trust to watch our animals when we are out of town.
Elizabeth and Eric were the perfect sitters for my home and two dogs. I will be using them in the future for all of our dog sitting. They sent tons of updates on Parker and Chloe including pics. They were so conscientious and reliable that I felt totally at ease leaving my dogs with them. They really went the extra mile for my husband and me.
Jackie did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs while we were away for an extended trip. This was our first time having someone stay at our house with the dogs, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. She communicated with us throughout the trip and sent pictures regularly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It was also clear that Jackie really connected with our dogs and took great care of them. When we returned, they were happy and relaxed, and our house was extremely clean and well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable having Jackie in our home and would absolutely use her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring with their pets.
She was absolutely wonderful! ❤️ So kind, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took great care of our dog, and left our house in great condition. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he and our home were being so well cared for while we were away. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
Grant is the best! This was our first time using an overnight sitter and Grant made the experience easy from the start. During our pup’s stay, we got lots of updates and pictures and felt very confident that Murphy was in good hands. We hope to work with Grant again in the future!
This was my first time using Veronica but I have already rebooked her! Her communication, care & attention to detail is top notch! My babies all loved her at our meet and greet and seemed extremely happy once I arrived home. I am looking forward to continuing to use Veronica’s services and would definitely recommend her!
Wow; Tony was the best. We are so grateful to have found him. He went above and beyond for our dog. He walked him, played with him and let him sleep on his bed. We have a large GSD and were a bit nervous about leaving him with someone. Tony was able to handle our dog without any issues and seemed to be very comfortable with him. When you have a large dog, that’s always the fear. He sent many pictures and videos showing our dog having his own vacation. We would all give him 2 paws up.
This is my second time using Allison. Her communication is great and she always seems to send the best photo updates. All my babies always look so happy & content, which definitely helps ease my mind while I’m away. I would highly recommend Allison & will definitely be booking with her again in the future.
Meghan was the best! Not only did she take great care of my pup, but she left my house in perfect condition. She sent frequent photos a happy dog, and kept me up to date. She even dealt with some "accidents" in the living room, which she cleaned thoroughly. I'll never hire anyone else!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Torri. He cared for my three dogs and my home for nearly a month and a half while I was away, and he went so far above and beyond anything I would ever expect from a dog sitter. From day one, Torri’s dog Riley fit right in and became part of the pack. My dogs absolutely loved both of them. One of my dogs is an Airedale with a LOT of energy who goes to daycare regularly, and Torri took her every morning and picked her up every afternoon. He also made sure the dogs got walks, trips to the dog park, plenty of attention, and were genuinely happy and well cared for the entire time I was gone. What really sets Torri apart, though, is that he truly takes care of your home as if it were his own. While I was away, he noticed something wasn’t right with my HVAC system, immediately let me know, and then coordinated with the repair technician to come out and get it fixed. Coming home after nearly two months away to a cool house and a tuned-up HVAC system was honestly one of the best surprises I could have asked for. He also handled grooming appointments for the dogs, including contacting my veterinarian ahead of time to obtain their vaccination records and making sure the groomer had everything they needed before the appointment. And then there was the house itself. I came home to an absolutely SPOTLESS home. Torri cleaned throughout the house, washed all of my linens, watered my plants, took out the trash, kept the turf completely poop-free, regularly hosed it down and treated it with enzyme spray, and stayed on top of the dog hair. He even purchased a new vacuum on my behalf because the one I had simply wasn’t efficient enough for a house with multiple dogs! He organized my mail, rearranged a few things in my office to make the space more functional, and decluttered and organized some things in the kitchen. Most importantly, he communicated with me about everything and always asked permission before making any changes. His description of his service as “Home & Dog Concierge” is absolutely accurate. I didn’t just come home to three clean, happy dogs who had clearly been loved and cared for — I came home to a spotless, organized house, watered plants, clean linens, a functioning HVAC system, and everything taken care of. After being away for nearly a month and a half, coming home and having virtually nothing to deal with was PRICELESS. I have used dog sitters before, and I have never experienced this level of care, communication, attention to detail, or initiative. Torri didn’t simply watch my dogs and my house. He made my life easier while I was gone and made coming home after a long and difficult time away genuinely relaxing. The dogs absolutely adored Torri and Riley, and so did I. I would trust him with my dogs and my home again without hesitation. Five stars doesn’t even come close. 10 out of 5 stars. I was completely blown away.
I am inclined to give a 1 star rating because I don't want her to get booked up and not be available. Andrea has been so awesome for me and Kenny. I kid her that Kenny likes her more but not sure I am not right about that. Kenny is a rescue and very quirky and frightens easily but warmed to Andrea quickly and they have become buddies for sure. More importantly that the pet care is she is responsible and a really good person.
