“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”


“Christina was great. She was able to sit for my dogs on short notice. She sent updates and pictures several times a day. Both of my dogs are senior and she understood what needs senior dogs have. I'll definitely be booking Christina again.”


“Jeremiah was able to show up with very little time when our other sitter failed to show up. He proved reliable and took good care of our Boxers.”


“Excellent care as always! Jared truly went above and beyond to spend extra time with our dog while we were away all week. He sent so many pictures and I felt so at ease knowing he was there with him.”


“I'm so glad I found Nev for a last minute trip. They were so thorough during our meet and greet, and my shy cat Yuki took to them immediately. I felt so secure, knowing they were with my babies all weekend! I can't wait to book them again.”


“Roxanne was so great with my little pup. She sent me photos and gave me updates throughout my trip and it felt great to know Macchiato was in good hands. Roxanne dog sat at my place and left it immaculate when she left. I'd definitely have Roxanne back again.”


“I was a bit worried about using Rover but with four dogs and a cat I didn’t have much choice. Ana came by for a 30 minute introduction. We communicated a day or two before the scheduled pet sitting confirming everything. Ana was absolutely amazing, fantastic, terrific, and all the other adjectives you can name for simply perfect. Ana sent pictures daily and communicated constantly. Definitely will book again when the time comes. Thank you again Ana for taking good care of Ghost, Pepper, Jax, Manny and Skrewball!”


“Christopher stepped in at the last minute when my usual sitter cancelled, and absolutely saved the day! He was thorough, professional, asked insightful questions, and ensured I came home to two very happy cats! A true life saver”

“Great experience with Maria watching after our babies. She was willing to meet with our dogs prior to the dates of the booking. She sent updates and pictures while we were away.

We didn’t require the dogs to be walked but she went above and beyond to make sure they still got some exercise and play time.”

About: My parents bred/showed dogs all my life so I grew up with dogs in all stages of life around and also have experience training and showing. I have a 2 yr old dog who does agility and diving. I'd love the opportunity to hang out with your pet. Im not currently working as I am disabled but am looking for something to help me be more active. I'll have plenty of time to hang with your pet. Im available pretty much any time with some notice. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I will respect your home and am big on following whatever directions you have for me for their care.

“Jianna was amazing! Constant communication and I could tell my dogs were so happy with her. The house was well taken care of and she was super informative of anything that came up. We have never left out of town and had someone stay with the dogs and we felt so comfortable with her that we were able to enjoy our weekend without any worries! We definitely will be using her again!”



“Leo did a great job taking care of our pups and house while we were away for a week long trip, everything was clean and orderly when we returned and the pups were well fed and happy to see us!”


“April is absolutely such a luminous light. She took care of my babies and was completely professional the whole way through. I am so thankful to have chosen her as my caregiver. She was very sweet and kind and sent pictures everyday. Will definitely be hiring again.”
