“Angelita was such a great sitter for my puppy. She provided a little bed with a pillow and blanket for my baby and knew immediately what my dog's interests were. She pays much attention to the dogs and let them have much play time at her backyard. She adored and took great care of my baby. Will book her again if i'm in the area.”
“As always Charissa & Shawn are amazing with the fur babies and I couldn’t be more grateful for them taking in my fur baby when possible. Thank you again and till next time.”
“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“Our very energetic golden doodle came back to us happy and tired. We loved getting the updates of her hanging with friends and enjoying herself. We will be back to hang with this great family again!”
“Betsy and Ron provide a perfect home away from home for our Coco! They are keenly sensitive to individual pup’s personalities and needs. She even cleaned off a windowsill for Coco because looking outside is her favorite pastime. Taking only one at a time, they give your dog all the attention. Another huge plus to me—their house is spotlessly clean. 5 stars is not quite enough!”

“Heather sent us pictures and movies that are so awesome!!! I was on a shoot-the-rapids tour so didn’t get to see them until I got back. My husband hadn’t seen the movies either but I shared a couple photos before we got on the raft. Loved seeing our puppy so happy. 5 star rating because it was at the very last minute that we booked this. Thank you so much. We definitely recommend Heather and will use her again. Rocky had the best time!!”

“Kristen is amazing! She helped us out last minute and gave us such peace of mind leaving our fur babes in her care. She was super communicative, shared tons of photos, and we knew our cats were well looked after. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“Where to begin. Colleen is quite literally the cutest and sweetest person we have ever had the privilege of meeting. We are first time parents to our newly adopted tortie kitten Bootsie. She’s four and half months old and is quite the handful, she’s also very attached to mom and dad. So it goes without saying we were a little nervous about leaving her side. Colleen came in and just blew us away with how patient and courteous she was to our fur baby from the start. We knew instantly we had found the perfect person to watch over her. She truly has a passion for what she does and eased any concerns we had. She was on time and gave us much needed updates throughout her stay. They bonded so well together we were shocked! If you’re lucky enough to have her look after your fur baby consider it a blessing. Colleen you are so special and you’ll be in our memories forever thank you so so much!!!”
“Rachel is great with our pets, prompt and friendly with communication, and overall a sitter I would highly recommend!! She always allows us to enjoy our trips knowing that there is someone trustworthy checking in on the cats.”

It is clear she is very attentive to the dogs and really cares a lot. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Stacy saved my behind today and was able to watch my boy so I could get to a wedding!

I thought she did a wonderful job, loved the updates, and that there were other dogs for my boy to play with! Thanks again!!”

“Zeus had a great day with D and all her animals. He doesn’t get to spend much time with new dogs so it was great for him. He came home very sleepy. D was very inviting and put us at ease while watching Zeus by sending pictures and updates.”
“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
