“We love Summar and she takes AMAZING care of our dog and house! She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay which we all appreciate so much. Thank you Summar!!”


“Renee was wonderful with my pup and cat. She adapted without a problem when Truffle got an injury right before we left and suddenly had to take medications that he usually doesn’t have to use. Renee was able to get him to take the meds without a problem and keep him comfortable. It was obvious that our pets were well taken care of and Renee stayed well beyond the scheduled time to be present when we arrived.”


“Ariel was great! We did a one-night stay and Ariel was timely and communicative. Came home to a happy pup and clean home, which was great after a trip! Thank you Ariel 😊”



“Gabrielle was great! They inspires confidence immediately with their warm and courteous demeanor. Betty took to Gabrielle immediately. Gabrielle was a great communicator who kept us well updated. I would be lucky to have Gabrielle come back again!”


“Kaya watched our 2 very hyper pups while we were out of town for 4 nights. She provided updates and photos during our vacation. She stayed at our house the entire time which was helpful for our very needy dogs. Highly recommend.”


“Mark was very attentive and caring towards my two dogs during a weekend trip. He easily managed their routine and won the heart of my very anxious chihuahua. Highly recommend!”


“Jules did a great job caring for our mini goldendoodle. She checked in daily, asked questions and followed all instructions. Our house was in great shape when we returned. We already booked her again!!”


“Nicole was amazing with our two dogs. They were well loved and cared for while we were out of town, and our pups loved her! Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”


“Mya is wonderful!! She took great care of Violet while we were gone for a week. We got daily pictures! Mya provided a lot of snuggles and love. We are already booking with Mya again!!”


“Caroline was amazing! She came over twice to meet our dog before staying for a weekend since our dog can be slow to warm up to people. Our dog and cat both LOVED her and we felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and would absolutely ask her to pet sit again. She also sent lots of pictures and updates which was great!”


“Julia took wonderful care of my energetic cat while I was away. I could tell Clover had lots of playtime and attention and was happy and calm when I returned. Julia was super responsive throughout and provided lots of photos. Would definitely book her again!”


“Vanessa was amazing! She took great care of our little guy. She made sure he was comfortable and safe at all times. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Addie was amazing watching my kitties! She was very communicative including lots of pictures and videos which I loved! Also very responsive and easy to plan with. The cats were well taken care of and loved and even my plants got some love too!”


“I appreciated how communicative Erica was, particularly given this first time house sitting our two ridgebacks. I felt confident that she could handle both dogs and gain their respect. One of our dogs takes an oral medication and there was no problem administering it. We will invite Erica back for future house/dog sitting.”


“Neva was wonderful while staying at my place to care for the dogs. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. The house was left clean and tidy, and my dog was happy and relaxed when I got home. I’d defiantly recommend her.”


About: I have always loved being around dogs and other pets. From a young age, I assisted in caring for the pets of friends and family members. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve enjoying the fresh air and sunshine during walks with my friends' dogs. Eventually, my family got our own dog, and I enjoy caring for her and making sure she gets the best life she can have! I am working part-time, so on my days off I am looking for an opportunity to spend some time with animals who want some attention! I am willing to work with your schedule and provide the care that you need on a timeline that works for both of us. While I am not currently able to host pets, I am easily able to adapt to new environments in order to make sure that your pet is comfortable in their own home. It is my biggest priority that your pet is in a safe and warm environment, and I strive to ensure that all of your and your pet's needs are met!

“I am thoroughly pleased with Michael staying with Mandy while I was gone for a week. This was the first time that I had Michael stay, and I was obviously nervous, but with the constant updates, pictures, and seeing my condo and Mandy being well taken care of, I will be happy to use Michael again in the future.”
