“Brandi has been the most amazing dogsitter I’ve ever used. She was so loving and caring to our dog Bruce who is a super shy dog. She sent tons of pictures and videos and updated us daily. I could tell Bruce was in heaven with all the attention. She makes sure she provides them with the upmost highest comfort while under her care. I would use her 1000x again is I could. You WONT REGRET IT!! Book her ! But not fully in case I need her hahaha jk”
“We’ve used Shawn and Joey multiple times now, and their service continues to exceed our expectations. They are incredibly reliable and attentive. Our doggies are always happy, well-cared-for, and they especially love the extra walks. We appreciate the regular updates and photos, which give us peace of mind while we're away. We highly recommend Shawn and Joey to anyone in need of dog sitter.”
“We were so pleased with Christy. She did a wonderful job caring for our puppy Mollie. Mollie loved playing in the fenced yard and running with Christy's dog Cooper. We've booked twice with Christy and plan to book her again.”
“She has a great setup for dogs. Country setting and plenty of room. Very accomodating in the care of Holly. Holly was able to stay outdoors in the shade or sun and come inside at night. Thank you.”
“Luna absolutely loved staying with Colleen. Colleen took great care of her, kept us updated with photos and videos, and was very flexible with us. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“When I picked Abby up she was relaxed. She usually cries for the first 15 minuets. I think she really enjoyed her stay with Megan and the kids. Thank you so much. It was so nice to go somewhere and know Abby was taken care of.”
“Kara and Ben took great care of our dog, and on short notice! We appreciated their daily updates and photos. Our dog had a great time with their family! We would highly recommend Kara and Ben.”

“My dog lily had the best time with Brooke and Remy! She always provided updates on how she was doing through the day, typically multiple times a day, usually with some awesome edited pics or videos. Her updates were very detailed and you can tell she really cared for her. There was also plenty of toys and space to run around. She even had an extended leash outside so she could run around the backyard with Remy. It was also a good learning experience to see how she does with another dog. She was super helpful in letting me know any concerns and very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of a puppy. It was far better compared to some other places and felt she learned more instead of regressing. Definately my best experience so far!!! :)”
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”

“Larry loves spending time with his new uncle Nick! With a fantastic east side location, large fenced yard, and a great way with animals, Nick has been the ideal find for my timid, young dog. I could not recommend him more.”
“Solia was incredible with our pups! We had a weekend trip planned and one of our dogs has seizures which requires daily medications. We felt very comfortable and reassured knowing that Solia is a vet tech and was able to help us with medication administration and what to do if our pup has a seizure. Not only did she take excellent care of our dogs, but she gave us updates and pictures throughout our trip. I highly suggest Solia to anyone and everyone, she is amazing!”
“Eleanor loved staying with Laurie again. She takes wonderful care of dogs and sends pictures/updates! I can tell that she really cares about the animals when they are staying with her and wants them to be so comfortable…Thank you again!”

“We just returned from a 10 day trip. Tara and Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were gone. As the other times we've asked them to check in on the fur brothers, everything was seamless. Great communication and timing not to mention all the photos they provided. It is hard to trust people to come into your home as well as be responsible for you pets well being, but we've really lucked out with Tara and Kathryn 😻”
About: I've grown up with every kind of pet imaginable, and post-college I have owned my 2 dogs (Bella & Wes), cat (Binx), and house trained rabbit (Norbert).

I regularly care for the pets of family and friends when they go out of town; including feeding, med administration, bathing & brushing, walking & exercise. I am a healthcare professional with a flexible schedule, so have a wide range of availability. I can stop by to care for your pet as you and your pet require. For housesitting, I am available all day, overnight, and/or for drop-ins. If the midday hours you want a pet walk or drop-ins don't show as available just message me and I might be able to accommodate. I am super flexible and would work with you to discuss a care plan specific to your pet's needs and your requirements. You just let me know how I can help!

“Becky was so wonderful! She stopped in twice a day to watch our cat Percy while we were away and she took great care of him.

“Katie is so caring. She is always welcoming and flexible and easy to work with. My puppy loves going over to play with the dogs and the kids. It is truly his home away from home.”
“Daisy loves her visits with Christy. I feel she is well taken care of with Christy being home during the day. Christy is very accommodating and has even picked Daisy up at our home.”
“Brandi is amazing! I needed a sitter at the last minute until my husband was released from the hospital and we live 1 and 1/2 hour’s from hospital so we were in a jam. Brandi was so nice and accommodating! My dog Auggie had a great time! It’s just he needed. Thanks again Brandi! ❤️”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Lovely family..so animal friendly. Our baby loves going to Morgan's home. She had the ability to learn how to be gentle with littles...run like crazy outside and play nice with other pups”
“Randee was so accommodating. He has a nice area for any dog to get there exercise and sunbathe. Tonka was certainly tired when he came home. We’ll definitely be asking Randee for another play date!”
“Nick and his wife took excellent care of my two dogs! They sent pictures with updates throughout the day. I will definitely use them again if the need arises. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Very last minute booking that she was very responsive to. She was flexible and patient in integrating her dogs, who Zuma loved. Zuma can be a nervous girl but Arianna really helped her feel comfortable. She's also great at training and her dogs are well behaved, which is helpful for a nervous dog like Zuma. I got lots of updates and pictures, she even took Zuma on a nice hike/run and she was well tuckered out after. An amazing price for the time and dedication she put into hosting Zuma. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area!”
“My Corgi puppy loves going to Kayla's house! He gets so excited to go see his friends there. Kayla's is warm and loving. I am so glad I found her. Her kids are big fans of my puppy so Copper gets lots of love!”
About: I have owned horses and dogs my whole life and have a love for animals. I have been watching family friend’s dogs for years and I wanted to get more into pet sitting/walking! I also volunteered at the humane society all throughout college so I have a lot of experience with cats of all personalities as well as dogs that may be shy or have triggers. I currently work from home 3 out of the 5 days which makes it easy for me to pet sit during the week and ensuring full care!! I also work 7 am to 3:15 pm so I have all afternoon to do any dog walks and check ins! At my home I have room for a crate if needed. I also have a long leash for going potty outside along with leashes to go for many walks!
“Becky is everything you could hope for from a pet sitter. We were in her area for a funeral and left our dog with her for the day. The experience was great. Her communication was excellent, she has a gorgeous dog-friendly neighborhood and home, and she took excellent care of our dog. She and her kids returned him to us happy and tired, which is no small feat. I would go far out of my way to leave our dog with Becky again. Thanks so much!”
