“Becky was really wonderful with our two dogs when we took a short vacation. My little adult chihuahua rescues 💕 loved her at first sight. Becky was quick to respond to messages and she sent several cute doggie photos everyday. She came to my home two times before we left. The Meet n Greet lasted more than an hour. The second time was for my dogs to be comfortable with her. I highly recommend using Becky!”


“Cassandra was wonderful to work with and very caring for our two pups. Communication was excellent and it was great knowing our animals were in capable hands. She took pictures, we texted as needed and we hope to be able to get together again for future trips. Thanks again Cassandra.”


“Mandy was spectacular! We really appreciated her thoroughness during our meet and greet. We felt like we got a true sense of her experience and character. While we were away, she sent plenty of pictures and updates. We could tell our dog felt comfortable with her from the beginning and we could tell our dog enjoyed her company while we were away. We are so happy we found Mandy!”


“This was our first time using Rover, or having anyone that wasn’t family watch our 9 year old Lab. Theo did amazing!! Tons of walks, playing, and snuggling with him. 100% will be booking with Theo again!”


“I cannot recommend Vanesa enough. She made us feel so comfortable when we have an anxious dog who’s never been watched by someone she doesn’t know before. And she was amazing at sending updates and pictures of our babies. I’m just so grateful to have had such a pleasant experience thanks to her!”


“Samantha took excellent care of my kitty and my home! She even came out early to meet Skittles and learn about his care routine. She's definitely very trustworthy and a pleasure to work with! Skittles and I would definitely love to have her back again next time needed.”


“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”


“Kirsten was great! She helped us out with really short notice, and was very flexible & accommodating. Cooper seemed to connect with her right away! We will definitely book her again!!”


“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She was super attentive, kept great communication the whole time, and most importantly—my dog adored her. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”


“Arrie was amazing! She was communicative, professional, and we loved having her watch our dogs. The house was clean and the pups were happy, and so are we. It feels nice to finally have a dog sitter that we can fully trust while we’re away. Thank you Arrie!! :)”


“Stephanie took on her first time with us so well! We were out of town with no signal. She met our dogs once and did a fantastic job caring for them in our absence. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to others!”



“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Bryan! He saved us super last-minute and was the perfect person to watch our two dogs. He communicated with us throughout the entire booking, which made the trip stress-free for us. Our two dogs are very high-energy, so we were worried that a sitter may be overwhelmed, but Bryan made sure they were occupied and engaged the entire stay. They all seemed to get along and really enjoy each other’s company. Bryan left our house in immaculate shape. And I mean immaculate! Our house was cleaner than what we had left it for him! If you are considering Bryan to watch your doggies/pets, don’t hesitate to reach out. He exceeded our expectations and we look forward to having him watch ours dogs again in the future. Thanks again Bryan, Jim, Claire, Otto, and Harper”


About: Throughout my life, I have been very fortunate to grow up with animals. I currently have two boy cats that are a year old. They are my partners in crime. When I had a dog I spent time taking him to agility courses and dog parks. With my passion for animals, I have had the opportunity to watch other pets as well. I have sat for cats as well as dogs. In these past situations, I made sure to ask what the animal's needs are. When watching one of my client's dogs who has special needs. She had disabled back legs and needed extra assistants while watching her, such as walking slow and caring her up and downstairs. Even with her disability, she is full of love! :) Every animal has its own personality just like people. I can't wait to meet your pet and spread the love with them! Thank you! I am currently unemployed because I just graduated college. I am looking for a job but while I wait I would love to have more animals in my life! I have house and animal sat for many years. I am a great listener and great at asking questions making sure everyone involved is happy and comfortable with me in their home with their animals. I am used to adapting to new rules and homes.

“Grace was very responsive with messages and communicating. My doggies were able to meet up with her before we booked and having Grace take care of our dogs in our home was a pleasure! She sent us pupdates and we came home to the house better than the way we left it! She asked all the right questions and I felt reassured that our two doxies were in the right hands. Thank you Grace!!”


“Paige really did a good job and was willing to work on Thanksgiving. Highly recommend”


“Veronica came to my rescue after my original sitter cancelled as we were on the road driving out of state. She kept me informed and was able to give my loveable pups the attention and care they needed. Will definitely book with her again the future!!”


“Alexa has helped me a couple of times now while I’ve been away and she always does an amazing job with all my animals. Keeps me updated and is quick with communication.”



“Jerrie makes me feel at ease leaving my 2 senior dogs with her. I was out of communication/service area while I was gone but felt comfortable that Jerrie could handle anything that comes up. She’s really wonderful.”

Bailey W.
“Bailey is a highly conscientious care-giver. I'm away quite a bit for my work and I have two elderly dogs who I love dearly. I wanted to find a dog sitter that would care for my pets as I would. Bailey, or "B" as I fondly call her, went above and beyond what I had experienced previously with other pet sitters to give love, walks and feedings to my dogs in a way that I had only hoped for. For the first time ever, upon arriving back home from my trip, my dogs were visibly happy, calm, and relaxed - no small feat for two long-haired mini-dachshunds! :) Bailey brought a bit of her own Zen to my home and I am forever appreciative for the love and care she continues to provide to my babies. Thanks, B.!”
