“Thank you so much for staying with Mae and Stewart while we were away! It was great getting the daily pictures knowing they were happy and cared for. Sorry, I had no idea the work packages would be so many and appreciate you brought them inside! We will definitely be using you again in the future!”

“Kayla is a great pet sitter and has house sat for me on multiple occasions. Kayla has been great with my 2 dogs and 2 cats, always sending picture and video updates. Kayla is also SO mindful of our space, making sure to keep it tidy and in order while we are gone.”

“Nicole is truly a master of her craft! Another smooth, fun, and safe trip for our 6 pets and we always come home to a clean and organized home. We are so grateful for Nicole!”

“Kenna did a great job with our energetic puppy! She was communicative, kept the house super clean, and was overall a joy to work with. My dog loved playing with her pup! This was our first time leaving our puppy so it was such a relief not having to worry! I love that she stayed overnight- it made things much easier. She walked the dog everyday and I could tell my dog was so happy (and tired) when we got home!”


“Annamaria was great! My Dog was happy as can be and I know he received a lot of attention as she provided photos of him walking, eating, playing, etc., etc. I would absolutely book Annamaria again and I am sure we will in the future! Thank you for making my dog’s experience better than expected! We were happy to know he was in good hands.”

“Tess is great! My two dogs clearly were loved by the look from all the pictures she sent me. The house is as clean as I left it and she communicated the whole time I was gone. I will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Will did an amazing job with our puppy Reesey and kitty Lindy! He was great about keeping us updated on how they were doing and sent tons of pics! We left for the weekend and trusted him to stay at our house, would do it again if needed!”


“Sophia was very flexible with a last minute sitting request for two dogs. She visited the home 3 times per day, walked the dogs 1-2 times per day, fed, and administered medications. The home was kept in the condition it was left in. The dogs were very comfortable and in good spirits after a 3 day sitting. Sophia had good communication and demeanor. She left check in messages and photos with every visit. Would definitely book with Sophia again.”

About: With over 10 years of professional dog walking experience, I’ve had the privilege of building deep bonds with both dogs and their owners. The moment I arrive, tails wag, and owners smile, knowing their pup is in caring, experienced hands. I provide not just exercise, but love, enrichment, and a calm reassurance that brings owners back time and time again. Let me help your dog feel adored every step of the way! As a dedicated dog walker with 10 years of experience, my days and weeks revolve around the joy of caring for dogs. Each morning, I design custom walks and enrichment activities that fit each pup’s personality, while my flexible days let me accommodate both regular clients and new furry friends. Whether it’s a morning power walk or an evening stroll, I bring consistency, care, and a deep love for each dog I walk, ensuring they—and their owners—feel confident and happy every step of the way. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every dog in my care. With over 10 years of experience as a dog walker, I know how vital trust, routine, and a secure space are for every pup. Whether I’m caring for them in their home or on a walk, I honor their daily routines, exercise needs, and individual personalities. I ensure each dog feels safe, loved, and excited for every visit, so both you and your pup can have complete peace of mind.
“Theresa and Adrian did a great job watching Laika. They communicated expectations clearly ahead of time and sent updates throughout the stay. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was well taken care of.”

“Amy was great, didn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure the pets were taken care of properly, and made sure to give them treats and cuddles. My cat and dog seemed very happy. Will definitely be booking again.”


About: I've owned/fostered/rescued animals my whole life, and I'm an avid animal lover. I run a rescue program with my friend and community members, and am very skilled with medical monitoring and behavior reading. I have experience working with special needs and elderly animals. I've administered oral medication and eye drops, changed doggy diapers, and bottle fed babies. I also have experience working with aggressive and territorial animals, I maintain a gentle and patient energy and work hard to create a secure relationship with each pet. I don't mind cleaning, I love super active animals, and I'm confident and reliable in caretaking. I work independently as an artist and curator, so I make my own schedule, so I always have plenty of time for your fur baby. I am unable to watch pets at my own place, as I am constantly fostering and have my own cats. I've been a trusted house/pet/baby sitter for 10 years, and will take great care of your space.
“Maciyah is fantastic! She is so sweet and caring. She always takes the best care of our girl, Nala! She sends pictures, is super communicative and just a wonderful sitter! We will always use her whenever we go out of town!”

“Rhiannon was terrific! She cared for our dogs and home with great care and wonderful communication. Meant the world to us to receive regular updates with happy dog photos. She was flexible and quick to respond. Great experience!”

“Larry took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated his help and would be happy to book with him again in the future.”

“Allie was responsive and sent messages about Piper and Miffles every day of our trip. She accommodated my pup's temporary stomach issues and got her back on track with regular diet without additional guidance and sending plenty of updates. Our home was left just as clean as it was when we left. Would book again! Thanks, Allie!”

“We are so grateful to have found Hanan to care for our fur baby, Wallace. From the very start she was responsive, kind, and completely on top of everything. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos so we always felt connected, and it was obvious Wallace was happy and well cared for. What really impressed us was the extra thoughtfulness she put in, like providing great training tips, tidying up, and making sure everything was just as we left it. She even held off on running appliances since Wallace would be home alone, which says so much about her attention to detail and care. It’s clear she truly enjoyed spending time with Wallace, and he adored her right back. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home. We couldn’t have asked for better care and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Will took excellent care of my cat and home. He is a great communicator and I could tell he spent extra time playing with my cat as he was super chill. Will’s consideration for the details of my pet and home was noteworthy. His updates were exactly what I needed to relax away from home and my routine driven kitty 🐈⬛

Sophia was very flexible with a last minute sitting request for two dogs. She visited the home 3 times per day, walked the dogs 1-2 times per day, fed, and administered medications. The home was kept in the condition it was left in. The dogs were very comfortable and in good spirits after a 3 day sitting. Sophia had good communication and demeanor. She left check in messages and photos with every visit. Would definitely book with Sophia again.

Omg Emily was so great!!! Her communication was literally 10/10 and she sent me so many pictures and videos and updates of my dogs while she house+dog sat for me for 3 days. She even left my house cleaner than how she found it! As someone who is brand new to the area, I was so nervous to leave my dogs and house to someone new but Emily is literally exactly who you want. She asked so many good and thorough questions before and during her stay. I just can't say enough good things about her. I'll 100% be requesting her to take care of my babies again bc I already know I'll have total peace of mind having her take care of them :)

Keryandra was an amazing house and pet sitter. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We have a high energy/neurotic pomsky and I felt like she understood her and did her best to meet her high demands When there were fires and Canada making air quality bad she took the dogs to Petsmart and Lowe’s for safe exercise! When our dog was sick she cared for her and cleaned everything up. Definitely recommend!
Lauren was absolutely AMAZING...Mars loved her! Mars is recovering from surgery and i needed someone who would keep him calm and happy at the same time. She exceeded my expectations and i would highly recommend her. We were just in town for an event and only needed her one night but if she lived by us....she would be my go to sitter!

Rhiannon was amazing! She gave detailed updates, managed a complicated medication schedule with ease, and went above and beyond to make my nervous pup feel comfortable while I was gone. I came back to a clean home and happy pets. I would recommend Rhiannon's services and look forward to booking with her again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter! Mark stayed in our home while we were away, and he took incredible care of our dog, Willie Nelson. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Willie was comfortable in his own home with someone so kind, responsible, and attentive. Mark went above and beyond while we were gone. He kept us updated, treated our home with care and respect, and most importantly, gave Willie so much love and attention. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and our house was just as we left it. Mark is also an incredibly talented local artist, and he’s simply a wonderful human being. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pets and your home, I can’t recommend him enough. We’ll absolutely be booking him again!

We went to asia for two weeks and Gary did an amazing job taking care of our home and dogs. We have a very active pup and he went out of his way to ensure he got his proper exercise. Gary also left our home in immaculate condition probably cleaner than we left it!! Thank you again so much and we would absolutely book you in the future!!
