“Virginia and Steven took great care of my dog Chewey while I was away for a long weekend. I was very appreciative of the time and attention provided, and was pleasantly surprised to see that Chewey made himself right at home in their nurturing environment. I will most certainly reach out to this wonderful couple when I am in need of a dog sitter again! :)”

“Thanks Felice. At first I was worried about coco being lonely, and not fitting in with the other, but you made it very comfortable, friendly for coco which helped to calm my anxiety of being away from her”

“Virgina watched my retired guide dog Harry in her home while I was traveling for business. She made sure everyone would get along beforehand and took time to meet and talk with me. This was the first time Harry was staying with someone he didn't know and I was worried he'd be anxious. He had a good time with her senior dog Chip. I'll likely book with her again.”

“Thx, Robin & family for lovingly caring for Haiku :-) Never-bored, she enjoyed play times & fun with exciting new friends ... an all-around thriving "vacation" experience we're most grateful for ... truly a "home-away-from-home"!”

“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”

“Amanda was amazing!! We had to book last minute as our initial plans fell through. I was really worried because they can be high maintenance and we had only adopted our one dog a few months ago. She sent us numerous updates showing that they were being loved and cared for, easing my worries. She went above and beyond, even having a fun bubble session with them. If we were to need someone in the area again we would certainly go to Amanda!”

“Such great pictures and comments the whole time our dog was being watched by Brittanie and Ryan. My dog seemed so relaxed and absolutely loved the yard that he could run around in, along with having some other dogs to play with. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using them again!”

We certainly will confirm those high praises, as every step Steven took to assure us our Lucy would be excellently cared for, was met and exceeded. Steven is not only a top dog care provider, he is also a deeply knowledgeable canine expert with a passion for our furry four legged friends. We highly recommend Steven and will be boarding with him in the near future.”

“Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”


“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.”

“Sophie was patient, understanding, and careful with my timid cat who needed medication. She communicated well and I appreciate the level of care she took with my kitties.”

“Anneli is always my first choice for cat sitter when we go out of town. Not only are they so incredibly good with the cats, but I always get a detailed description of how the visit went, what the cats were up to, and several fantastic photos every day. I cannot recommend Anneli highly enough. Thank you!”

“Christopher was fantastic. He proactively set up a meet and greet prior to my trip. We discussed times, feedings. Etc. He was an excellent communicator. Provided check ins for each visit including photos and comments on food consumption and demeanors. I highly recommend for any of your pet sitting needs.”

“Heather was great!! She watched my two kitties for a week while I was away paying them one hour visits each day. She took my cat meow outside and played with my other cat clementine and sent pictures of it all. I was so appreciative while I was gone! Will definitely be booking her again.”

“All I can say is WOW, Sabine was wonderful even though our kitty Tommy was a little grouchy during her visits. She spent time with him for them to become friends, she sent us pictures and an update everyday she visited with Tommy. When we returned from vacation the house was tidy and Tommy’s mess was all cleaned up and he seemed very happy. I would absolutely recommend Sabine for your next pet needs, I can’t say enough good things about her.”

About: This young adult is filled with energy, patience and love! I have owned a dog since I was a child and tried to open a mini petting rescue zoo in my moms barn . It worked until I had to actually adult and pay my own bills . I love giving one in one attention and healthy treats . My availability is flexible due to working around my human patients . I value bedside mannerisms and do believe they don’t just apply to two legged friends. I have been known for my cautious and preventative decision making skills ! My temperament is easy going but firm because if not, all paws will break loose! Seriously , I would have 100 dogs at home if possible. I am currently working part time and from home . I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and love deserving ! I have a mini fenced in area in my back yard that my own pup adores. It is just enough space to get the job done and provide leg room. I live in walking distance to three huge parks, and on leash we will have a wonderful time.

Diana and her family were extremely considerate, spent time with us during the drop-off to make sure Max was comfortable before we left, sent an update so we would know how things were going and explained his stay when we picked him up. And, when we unpacked after we returned home, we found a little treat bag for Max. She asked questions to determine his schedule and tried to keep to his routines regarding when he ate, walked, where he slept. She was knowledgeable about different breeds of dogs and knew his traits based on breed. She and her family love dogs and it showed in their interactions. Diana is professional, through and very caring to both pets and owners. I highly recommend her to care for your pet. You'll want to book early, as I'm sure she books very quickly. ”


“Good communication. It sure seemed like our doggo enjoyed herself and came home tired from all the play time! Will be at the top of my list next time I need a sitter. Thankyou so much Shane and Brittany”
