About: We’ve always had pets at our house and cousins’ houses growing up, and as you’ve probably seen in my pictures, I always love being around animals! I’m starting a new position in a few months, and since I love animals, I thought that pet-sitting would be the perfect thing to do in the meantime! It is definitely important to make sure that the pets are taken outside often to go to the bathroom and move around with fresh air. It’s also important to read the body language of the pet- some pets need more exercise than others.

“Our pup has enjoyed spending days with Dawn and it is especially nice for us to have a place where she can comfortably interact with young children, as we don’t have that opportunity to offer her at home.

I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away!

So that means we are!! Woot Woot!!”

Usually he gets really sad when I leave him but Lauren ensured he was happy. He went out for great walks and got some good playtime in. She kept us updated on everything throughout the day and included pictures. We are so happy with her service and wished we had a sitter like her in our hometown. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend”

From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets.

Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets.

She sent great updates and made me feel completely at ease. Georgia really took to her, which says a lot. I would absolutely book with Lindsay again!”
“Leia had a wonderful walk with Pat. Pat showed up promptly and checked in to make sure everything was okay before the walk. Pat walked her down the road and gave Leia some much needed exercise. Leia had met her previously a while back and took to her immediately again on the adventure of her walk exploring all the scents and sights along the way. It was a cold afternoon but Leia's favorite type of weather with dry ground and flurries in the air and it was fantastic to have the opportunity to get out on a Sunday afternoon after she had been alone all morning. Pat Tolerated Leia's little quirks of being anxious with new experiences and it all worked out beautifully. Leia and I are both looking forward to another walk for her in the future.”

My focus is always on providing compassionate, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique health and lifestyle. ooking for loving, reliable care for your pets? I bring not only years of pet sitting and walking experience, but also a background in therapeutic care and recovery support. Whether it’s fun, playful walks, cozy snuggles, or extra patience with medication schedules and special needs, your pets will get the love, attention, and care they deserve. 💕 📅 Availability: Weekends & Tuesdays 🐶 Open to walks, playtime, sitting, and specialized care for pets with allergies, recovery needs, or unique routines. Your pets’ well-being and happiness are my top priority—I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! When caring for your pets, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow strict safety measures to ensure every outing and visit is stress-free and secure. Pets are always leashed and secured with seatbelts and harnesses while riding in the car, and I provide a ramp for easy access if needed—especially for seniors, large breeds, or pets recovering from surgery. I make sure collars, identification tags, and GPS trackers remain on at all times so pets are always accounted for and protected. In addition, I keep consistent communication with owners, providing updates, photos, and reassurance so you know your pet is safe and happy. With my focus on both love and safety, you can trust that your pets are cared for with the same diligence and compassion I give my own.
“Our dog is a handful and Gabriela has done such an amazing job with him. She is incredibly patient and goes over the top to make sure Bruno is able to get all of his energy (and he has a LOT of it) out during their mid-day walks. She has even stayed over their allotted time if he needs a little extra time to get settled back in after their walk, giving him lots of water and treats to hold him over until we get home. So happy we found Gabriela!”

“I left my Pug with Gabrielle on a Sunday to Tuesday. Gabrielle was very conscientious, answered all questions, listened well and was very nice to both Wilbur and me. He obviously has a nice way with dogs and sent photos and video of Wilbur at random times. Wilbur was well taken care of, walked dependably, and was happy with Gabrielle and co. I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”

“Briana was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Ace. This was our first time boarding him and I was nervous. He is also young so I was worried about him with bigger dogs. Once we met, I knew Briana and her dogs were going to be a great fit for him. He had an absolute blast and he is exhausted from all the love. She sends pic throughput the day so I know he was having so much fun! I would highly recommend her and I will book with her again in the future! Thanks again Briana for making my first time away from my pup a relaxing and non stressful experience!”
“Roxy was clearly in great hands with Neeru and her loving family. Her child loved Roxy, they went out for lots of walks and were able to run in the large fenced yard, and it was clear that she was getting plenty of attention and affection. She and Neeru’s pup Caro got along great and were playful together. We got frequent updates about her activities. Would absolutely book again!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”
“Tracee was very friendly and responsive. She took great care of my little dog and kept me up to date with pictures. My dog doesn’t always eat when I’m away, but she ate regularly with Tracee so I know she was comfortable. I would recommend her services and plan to use her again!”

“Vignesh is a very professional and caring dog caregiver. He took care of my boy, Goldy for 3 weeks and his daily updates with photos, videos helped me both in not missing Goldy and in knowing that he was in good company (Goldy had peaches, Rico And Wolfie for company during his stay). I’d leave Goldy with Vignesh again when the next opportunity comes and recommend others that are looking for doggy care to choose his services.”
“Lauren was a lifesaver for taking our last-minute booking. She took great care of Champ and sent regular photo updates. A huge thanks to Gavin for helping with the heavy crate, too, he moved it to and from the car on his own without us even asking. Champ came home happy, well-fed, and on his regular routine. Highly recommend them if you need a reliable team! We will definitely be booking with her again.”
