“I’ve booked with this family twice and my baby loves them. When I drop him off he just forgets I exist lol. I’m always nervous about leaving JB with someone because he is a mouthy boy with personality. He fits right in and causes chaos. Your baby will be well taken care of with Seth and Connie.”
“Brynna B. delivered an outstanding experience from start to finish! Her exceptional communication and thoughtful updates instantly put my mind at ease. She consistently shared the sweetest messages and adorable photos of my Charlie girl, who truly seemed to be living her best life—enjoying long walks, playtime, and all the love she could wish for. It truly felt like a retreat vacation for Charlie! Brynna’s dog, Banks, was the perfect playmate for her. As a social pup, Charlie thrived having a new friend to frolic with, and it warmed my heart to see how well they bonded. Brynna’s attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care went above and beyond my expectations. I couldn’t imagine a better experience for either of us. Without a doubt, I’ll be rebooking Brynna in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Choosing Brynna means peace of mind for you and pure joy for your pet—truly a 10/10 experience!”
“Peach stayed with Sara and family for 2 weeks this time and she was happy as a clam when I picked her up. Peach is very timid but always excited when we pull up to Sara’s house and usually disappears before I can say goodbye. Sara is a gem and I am so grateful to have found her.”

“Kate and Tim are the best. Our two Siamese and our Collie love them! We worked so well together via phone and text/email so that we all understood what our boys needed. They sent pics and updates every day. Came home to a tidy home and happy pets.”
“I’m so appreciative of them for pet sitting my cat while I was out of town. I could not recommend their services more to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet. They’re attentive, communicative, and well organized. I look forward to hopefully working with them again :-)”
About: I absolutely love cats, and with my own fur babies, have experience with senior cats (giving medication, special diets made to their specifications, pain management/being extra gentle) as well as younger cats and kittens! I could spend hours snuggling with cats or playing with them. I have yet to meet a cat that doesn't warm up to me after a few slow blinks in their direction!
“Megan was great! My kitty, Katie, was welcoming and loving. Megan is very thorough and left lots of pictures. She described her time with Katie and I felt very comfortable having her take care of my "princess." Will definitely use again and often!”
“Lauren is the best! She took great care of our kitties, checked in with lots of cute pictures every day, and made us feel that our babies were in really great hands. We can only recommend her!”
“Dwayne was awesome. Dependable. Loved our kitties. Sent pictures and daily reports. Even noticed deliveries and brought them in the house. I had to add an additionalday, the day we left, and he went right over to our house. I hope he's available next time we need drop in visits.”

I will definitely book with her again and am so grateful to have had such a sweet trustworthy sitter. I recommend her highly.”
“Kristina was fantastic with our kitty boys! They absolutely loved her. The communication while we were away was great and she sent plenty of photos, so I could relax knowing they were well taken care of. I am extremely happy with Kristina and I will be contacting her in the near future to pet sit for our travel plans.”
About: My name is Katie and I am a doctoral student studying Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I am hoping to start up a non-profit senior dog rescue sanctuary in the near future. I have loved dogs since I was a baby. I grew up with all kind of dogs from Irish Setter to Gordon Settler to Lab to Cocker Spaniels. Now I’m raising 5 years old border collie and 3 years old black lab. I am usually free in late afternoons, evenings and on the weekends. I do also work from home and can adjust my schedule a little bit if you need me during the day. When I’m not in school or working, I enjoys reading, walking and geeking out at the museums. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions. I look forward to hear from you! During the weekdays, I usually take dogs out for potty every two to three hours and I would take them out for a walk in morning, during lunch break, and in evening. I usually give two meals a day (morning and evening) and set a time aside to play with them. I live in a house and have two friendly dogs that can play with your puppy. I also have a crate in case your dog needs to be crated. My home also has a huge backyard for the dogs to play in. For safety reasons, I prefer to supervise the dogs while they are in the backyard.
“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our pup, Bella, in the care of Alexis while we were on vacation and we couldn’t be more grateful. Alexis went above and beyond, taking Bella on walks and handling her hyperactive personality with patience, care, and a genuine love for animals. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your pet behind, but Alexis made the whole experience stress-free. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowedlege and attentive dog sitter, Alexis is the one!”

About: I am Deaf and rely on ASL to communicate. I am an expert at reading body language both in people & animals. I've grown up with many different animals, mostly dogs. I had my own dog starting at age 8. I've taken care of dogs personally and professionally since then. I'd go dogsit neighbors' dogs at their houses and have family/friends' dogs at my house. I walked dogs for two years before COVID happened. I am a work-at-home mom with three kids (9 years old to an infant) and two pups. I am available on weekdays, weekends, days & nights! We are huge pet lovers here. I have three kids to keep your pets stimulated and busy. I also have a fenced yard and a two-story house.

We enjoy going on walks early in the morning and after dinner, so we will bring your dog along! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I will adjust my schedule to fit your pup's routine!

I have a fenced backyard, baby gates throughout the house, a storm door on the front door, several crates (medium & large), and a quiet & safe room upstairs if your pup needs some space. I have a lot of dog toys all around the house, blankets, treats, outdoor activities, etc to help your pup feel safe and comfortable here. I care for many anxious & nervous dogs, so I am well aware of their body language and know exactly what it is they need. If you ask my previous clients, they'd tell you that their anxious dogs warm up to me pretty quickly!

I would highly recommend Leslie and will certainly use her services again in the future.”

“Tasha and Geordie had a great time at Elizabeth's. This was our first time ever getting a sitter for our dogs so we were a little bit nervous.

I got a career as a foster parent and this make me so happy to help kittens and puppies to feed them and help them grow healthy. I'm currently a full-time employee, but I have plenty of time and energy to take care of your babies when they need a petsitter. I would love to help! I have a fenced yard with a little chicken farm. My yard is free of toxic products. It is very clean and has plenty of space for your babies to run and play if they need to stay.

“Gail was absolutely fantastic with my Nugget over spring break! She was attentive, kind, and incredibly experienced. There was never a moment where I felt that worried for Nugget.

Throughout the stay, I got regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her again with Nugget.”
