“Melinda is WONDERFUL. We were in need of someone to watch our 50+ lb pittie mix girl while we went on a long (16 day) international trip to visit family. Melinda met with us beforehand to meet Rosie and learn about her and they hit it off immediately! Melinda stayed at our home and kept us updated while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and our home just as we left it. It was so nice knowing that our girl was in good hands while we were so far away. We would happily work with Melinda again in the future!”

“This is the first time we’ve used the app and we were hopeful that we could find someone to help take care of everything while we were away. We met Madison and could tell right away that she was great. She exceeded our expectations every day! The frequent text updates and pictures showed us that our pets were in great hands! I would 100% recommend Madison and am hopefully we can have her watch over again in the future!”


“I wish I could give more than 5 stars Nina, is an amazing dog sitter!! She kept me updated and messaged me when she came over to tend to my Niko. She even took the time to send pics and met him prior to make sure they were a match. I absolutely recommend her. Thank you Nina!!”

“Alex did a great job taking care of Bayley while we were away. I got plenty of updates and pictures, and came home to a happy and well cared for pup. Would absolutely recommend!”


“Sophia is amazing, she took care of our dogs for five days and I’ve never felt so calm of leaving them with someone before. She followed instructions, asked questions, gave so much love to the dogs, sent pictures for updates and overall was very sweet. Will definitely be booking her for our next trip!”

“We lucked out that Kendal was available at the last minute. She is engaging both to dogs and people, and we truly enjoyed meeting her. Don’t hesitate to hire her; she was truly devoted and caring to our lab Zia.”

“We are so glad we booked Olivia to stay with our dog. We came home to a very happy pup and very neat house. We look forward to booking with her in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up around animals my entire life and have always had a genuine passion for caring for them. I have experience with both small and large breeds, from young puppies to large dogs like Great Danes, as well as cats. I’m comfortable caring for high-energy and hyper dogs and make sure they get the exercise, structure, and attention they need. I always follow your pet’s training, routines, and any special requirements to ensure consistent, safe, and loving care. I work from home, which allows me to be readily available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, and any special routines your pet may need. Your pet will never be left without care or attention. I don’t have children, which creates a calm and stress-free environment—ideal for pets who may not be accustomed to kids. I know several enclosed dog parks where dogs can safely play, socialize, and burn off energy. My home is clean, secure, and pet-friendly. If I stay at a client’s home, I also provide light cleaning services to maintain a tidy and comfortable environment. I have a reliable car for any emergencies or vet visits, and I am attentive, responsible, and committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable space for every pet.

Allow me to be that person who is there for your pet and cares for them like you would!
“Emily is great, she’s always flexible even when I book at the last minute. She always takes good care of my fur babies as well as my home. I will continue to use her services anytime I need a dog sitter.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since childhood and would often pet sit for family members, some of which were entire farms for a week at a time. Neighbors and family members have relied on me for daily care of their dogs and cats with care tasks including feeding, walking and sometimes bathing. I am currently in nursing school and I have a very flexible schedule during the week (except Mondays, Tuesdays) and on weekends. I currently have an almost 5 years old Australian cattle dog (very friendly w/ other dogs) and also live on a hobby farm. You will see my reviews are from Canada, where I lived for 6 years, but moved back home in the last couple of years and wanted to start my account up again :) I have a large property for walks and playtime without having to drive to a trail. I am also able to crate your dog if that is needed. I am available for frequent potty breaks (every 0-2 hours).
“Dennis was able to accommodate our needs, very last minute. He was responsive and flexible. Dennis is very friendly, the pups took to him right away. I will be scheduling again the next time we are in the area!”

About: I would love to be there for your friend when you can not be. Living with my best friend Peanut a Bichon I know how important it is to ensure our animal friends are in the best care. I don't know what I'd do without him. I am an animal rights advocate and love our little furry angels so much that I am caring for them full time now. I am self employed and am adding this to my artist work. This makes it possible for me to work around others schedules as best as I can or even for a last minute sitting need. I don't leave my dog outside alone and would do the same with yours. I consider dogs as toddlers in a way smart but needing guidance and protection to keep them safe. I can accommodate any requests for in your home, for outings, and for boarding at my house. I have one dog living with me now and would separate them if there was any issues. Peanut is very playful at a year and a half and not aggressive.
