Our dog instantly connected with Dave at our meet-and-greet, as did we from our very first communication. He is kind, caring, professional and attentive. We appreciated his detailed questions about her routines to ensure he was fully prepared. He checked in before arrival, and then sent us “action photos” of all of their activities: a walk, playing, eating, drinking water and resting. He took wonderful care of our baby, and she was very calm and happy when we got home. Also, she had eaten her dinner, which she doesn’t always do when we are not here. This showed us her high comfort level with Dave. His comment to us that he enjoyed her companionship for the afternoon showed us that this is more than a gig for him—it is about genuine connection and care. We highly recommend his service!

This was the first time Tara came to take care of my three Spaniels. She had never been in my home previously, so to my canines, she was a stranger. It seemed not to matter. Certainly they understand if someone stops by we are going get fed ! ! Tara came by twice in one day. All went well and she sent me pictures and updates during both of her visits. I look forward to having Tara as a dog sitter in the future.

Rochelle was a fantastic sitter for our 2 medium/large dogs! She was very communicative and clearly treated them very well. They were excited every time she dropped in on them, and she went above and beyond in many ways. We will definitely book Rochelle again the next time we leave town and have to leave the pups at home!

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 13 years old. I treat every animal as my own. I am very dedicated and love playing and hanging out with the pets. I am very reliable, you can count on me to show up and do the best job! I like to make sure the pets are happy and get all the love they deserve. It’s more than just the money to me… I genuinely love pet sitting and taking care of them. My schedule is very flexible. I have a light school schedule so I can be there for the pets. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like work… it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing and it makes my days brighter. In my own home, I provide a safe and friendly space for the pets. I always follow the schedule given for the animal to ensure their healthy lifestyle. In other homes, I respect your space and treat it as my own, along with your pet. I provide updates and photos so you know it is going well!

Aidan (nickname Addie) is a responsible, caring and thoughtful person that absolutely loves dogs and all animals. She has walked and dog sat for my two dogs for several years. She is capable with both small and large breeds. She administered medication to my senior dog and carried her ( when necessary) to go to the bathroom. Addie was always our first-choice sitter or dog walker. She has such a genuine love for animals and quickly develops a rapport with them. She’s able to make even my skiddish dog feel at ease

Five star dog sitter! I can't say enough good things about Kara. She's been taking care for our dogs for more than a decade. She is responsible, dependable and trustworthy. Whether it's a mid-day walk or a weekend stay, both our current and previous dogs absolutely love being around her. She also excels at communication. Throughout stays, I receive frequent updates, including adorable photos and videos that keep me reassured that my pup is having a blast. Kara goes above and beyond, taking him on long walks, playing, and making sure he's always comfortable and happy. I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention Kara provides our pets. It’s clear that she is not just a dog sitter, but a true animal lover who treats pets like family.
