“I’ll let the real customers leave the review: Katie: “We love it when Tiffany comes by to let us outside.” Bella: “And she lets me give her wet beagle kisses!” Sherlock: “And she gives me a treat. She’s the best!” Having Tiffany let the dogs out while we are at work has been very helpful. My dogs highly recommend her!”


“Claire is absolutely awesome! It’s difficult any time you leave your fur babies at home for a prolonged period, it’s hard to know who to trust and if they will get along with that person too, but we truly were fortunate to have found Claire! My pups looked ecstatic every day they spent with her, her communication and pictures sent daily, make that time away less difficult. She spent time with them and was on time with all her check ins. We are so grateful to have her in our lives. You can tell how passionate she is about animals. Thanks for caring for our babies, like they were your own!”


About: Hi, I’m Alexandria (Alley), and I’ve been passionate about dogs since I got my first one at the age of 5! Growing up with pets taught me how to care for dogs with love, attention, and patience. I understand the importance of keeping dogs happy and safe, and I’m excited to help care for your furry friends while you're away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I am currently working as a part-time nanny, so I am available for drop-in visits or walks during the day. My work day ends around 4pm. I have a fenced backyard for my dog to run around in and he is crate trained. I take him for walks depending on the weather and if I’m home he is out with me. We are a nonsmoking household also.

“Fabulous! She was so understanding of our labradoodle who has a licker problem and so patient with our shih tzu who is scared of strangers. She has tons of energy and my pups were very happy.”


“Best ever! We are new to using any kind of pet sitter, but Noel was above and beyond the kindest nerdy pet person ever! We are super happy to both support a self-employed veteran as well as fellow nerd!”


About: I have spent the better part of my life committed to the care of animals, I love them and hope to use my skills and innate passion to be a blessing to someone.

I have an extra large fenced in yard, live alone and have an amazing dachshund named, "Koko." He is an old boy and doesn't mind the company. I am a big advocate of cuddles, praise and sticking to training measures in place by an owner. I respect these animals and it really rewards me to see them happy, safe and healthy!

“Taylor did a wonderful job with all of our pets and kept constant communication. She kept me up to date on my cat's progress after his surgery and was very professional. We would definitely work with her again.”


“Great at communication! I felt he really cared about my pups! Some of the pictures didn’t go through and I do always like a picture of the dogs while I’m gone. But for a 6 day, trip I think only 2 or 3 didn’t have a picture. Overall very happy. Would book again!”

“Lisa is amazing! When I got stuck in St. Lucia for an additional 5 days after a Volcano erupted and left me stranded, Lisa came to the rescue and eased all of my worries for my dear Sweet Pea (my very rambunctious morkie). If I could hire her full time I would!”

Alex M.
“I met Alex during on of my pups yearly wellness visits. They were amazing and so sweet during the appointment. Alex and I started a conversation afterwards about traveling and our pets when the topic of house sitting came up. They without hesitation asked if they could help. I agreed and did not regret it at all! They took such good care of my pups including my medically complexed diabetic old man. I would recommend Alex to everyone I know!!”

Beyond that, she has an excellent instinct for knowing what an animal needs. Whether that be more food, rest, to be taken outside, a litter box change, or even medical care, she will recognize when an animal needs her attention before anyone else does. She is also one of the kindest human beings you will ever meet! She will treat you with the utmost respect and professionalism and you will never regret interacting with her.”

Margaret H.
“Margaret is a true animal-whisperer! As soon as she arrives, she gives my dog “morning affirmations,” which includes cuddling, belly rubs, and talking softly to her before taking her on a walk. When she returns, she cleans my cat’s litter box and gives my cat enrichment time while flicking a catnip toy in front of her. My cat greets Margaret every morning when she arrives and patiently waits for her turn to have attention! Aside from being great with my fur babies, Margaret is not afraid to handle my python so that he doesn’t miss out on his enrichment time either. She is literally the jack-of-all when it comes to animal care! She has the education to back up her animal husbandry expertise, and I can leave my home knowing that she can hold the fort down until I get back home!”
