“Jen was an absolute angel helping with Journey during a transportation hiccup and scheduling miscommunication between my trainer and me. I needed someone to bridge the gap between Journey being dropped off by her transporter and my trainer's daughter being available to receive her, and Jen stepped in without hesitation. Despite the uncertainty around the transport timing and ultimately an early 6:00 AM drop-off, she was communicative, flexible, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She not only took wonderful care of Journey, but also coordinated the final handoff and personally dropped her off for me, making what could have been a very stressful situation feel seamless. She sent photo updates, kept me informed every step of the way, and treated Journey like one of her own. I truly can't thank her enough. If you're considering booking with Jen, I would do so without hesitation. She went above and beyond in every way. ★★★★★ Highly recommend!”
“Lisa did a wonderful job watching my furry son. Took him on walks, updates and pics on how it was going since he isn't away from his Mom and Dad much. Communication was solid and I would recommend her.”
“My 2 dogs had an amazing stay with Jessica and Colin! Their daughters are so sweet and love animals. They treated my pups like family and made them feel right at home :)”
“Betsy communicates well and provides a loving home away from home. A large fenced yard for lots of running and playtime helped get my pup's energy out. And she was so attentive to ensure my pup was comfortable on his first stay with her as he is quite anxious. And pup loved her!”
“Laura is an amazing sitter. She made it feel like a beloved family member was watching my Butterscotch. She is very caring and attentive and sent lots of pictures and videos and updates. Laura and her whole family treated her like she was their own. Your baby is in great hands with Laura.”
“Had a 1-night "preview" for my boy and all went well! These guys are on every detail! Much appreciated! My boy came home happy. Will be back for a longer stay in June.”
“This was my first experience using a pet sitter. We've always used a kennel, but for a two-week trip, I wanted to try something different. I chose to do a meet-and-greet with Jean because of her great reviews. She texted photos of my beagle daily enjoying his walks, hanging out on the couch, and relaxing on the back patio. I think he had as much fun as we did. It was wonderful being able to enjoy our vacation without any worries whatsoever about our dog. Jean is competent and conscientious following all of our instructions and tips. She really made an effort to understand our dog's routine and I think he felt completely at home. I will definitely book her again and will try to schedule future trips around her availability.”

Not wanting to stress my kitty out with almost no one checking on her. A friend suggested Ro er and helped me find Brooke.

AJ, Trish, and Goose are tremendous hosts. AJ is the bomb! I strongly recommend him and his family for doggie daycare.”

They had no hesitation when asked without much notice if they could watch our 10 week old pup to give us a much needed break from a hectic few months of life so that we could venture to a show we’d bought tickets for months back.

Will definitely be reaching back out again as Ziva was well cuddled and cared for while there and we are sure we will definitely be in need of a break again soon. Thank you!!!!”

About: I have had a pet in my home since I was born. The first dog I remember was Ginger, then PJ, then Sparkie, then Jenna and Millie, Anja and Argus, then Bonnie and Clyde, and now we have our very friendly buddy, Gustav. They ranged from a miniature Schnauzer and Jack Russels to Rottweilers and German Shepherds. My closest friend's dad bred and trained German Shepherds while I was in high school. I was surrounded by a pack most of my life and loved it. I owned a local pup friendly pub for 14 years and made it a point to great every dog that came in. I am hoping for the chance to see some of those dogs again! My current schedule is very flexible, so I can focus on the pet's care when they need it. I understand that different pets require different things at different times and I am able and willing to accommodate with a bit of forewarning. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly 10 month old puppy who loves new company. He and I go for walks around our neighborhood daily and we do outings to the park a few times a week. I have 2 cats that are indifferent to dogs and they have their own separate space so they can be alone if they want. I deep clean the litter boxes at least twice a week and would be happy to do the same for your kitties at your home. (Access to a hose outside is very helpful for this) I have room for crates and pets are not left outside unattended. I am very vigilant about picking up poop and want to keep a clean yard for the pups to play in.
“Rebecca is so awesome, always on time. My fur baby looks forward to her walks with Rebecca. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you so much Rebecca for your gentle, loving care for Zoey.”

About: What I bring to every walk is simple — I genuinely care. I’ve spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, which means I’ve been trusted with all kinds of dogs in all kinds of situations. That experience taught me how to read a dog’s mood, keep them calm and comfortable, and give owners real peace of mind while they’re away. I’m not just someone who shows up and holds a leash. I pay attention to your dog as an individual — their pace, their quirks, what makes them feel safe. Every pup deserves to feel like they’re in good hands, and that’s exactly what I aim for. I am in real estate so my day consists of a lot of driving around and computer work so I have time to spend with your animals. When I come to your home, my goal is to keep everything as normal as possible for your pet. I stick to their routine — feeding schedules, walks, playtime — because familiar structure is what keeps them happy and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. That means no shortcuts, honest updates, and plenty of attention for your dog throughout my visit. I’ll always leave things just as I found them, and I make sure your pup feels loved and comfortable the whole time.
About: For me, the joys of pet ownership came a little later in life. I grew up in a home with my parents and 3 older brothers. My mom deduced that a house with four boys and a grown man didn't need any more animals! In the 90s, I worked with the local Humane Society and was overwhelmed by love and empathy that I felt for the animals waiting for adoption. Since then, I've jumped at any chance to walk or care for the pets of my friends and family. There's nothing like the feeling I get when a shy or frightened animal lets its guard down and begins to trust. It melts my heart! My wife and I currently live with Molly Mae. She's a gorgeous 14 year old Chihuahua / Italian Greyhound mix and she's a walking, licking, mood-lifting machine! I’m currently creating artwork from my home studio where I can keep my Molly Mae with me all day. I make my own hours and can respond to pet sitting calls and bookings any time of day. I live in a quiet, gated community which is ideal for walking dogs safely. The surrounding neighborhoods are quiet with very little traffic. I have also had many mural jobs where I have been granted access to client’s homes and businesses and have earned a solid trustworthy reputation.
