Belinda is one of the most incredible dog sitters EVER! She communicated effectively, followed every instruction on caring for our two little puppies, and ensured that they were loved and well cared for during my wife’s and I family vacation! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable professional dog sitter.

Kate housesat for our pups so we could attend a last minute trip out of town. I love the updates and pictures. She even made them homemade treats! I know my pups are happy when we're home but they always look for her after she's left!

Claudia is truly exceptional! This was our second time having her care for our four dogs, and she continues to amaze us with each visit. Over Thanksgiving week, she cared for three elderly dogs with gentle attentiveness and one rambunctious four‑year‑old “teenager” pup who is endlessly active and seeking adventures. Her adaptability in balancing the needs of senior dogs with the energy of a high‑spirited youngster was remarkable — each received the perfect mix of patience, play, and love, making us feel completely at ease while away. Not only did she keep the dogs happy and well‑cared‑for, but she went above and beyond in every detail. We returned to a beautifully clean and tidy home — honestly better than when we left it. Her reliability, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile make her an absolute treasure. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.

Mara is incredible! She was a fantastic sitter for my pup, bringing him on adventures and taking great care of him! She was so patient with my nervous boy, which end in him giving her all of the snuggles. Mara kept me updated with photos and end of the day updates that made me feel so comfortable even though I was so far away. I will definitely utilize Mara’s services again, and I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter :)

Africa did amazing with our little boy. He has big separation anxiety. She was patient, kind, and provided several updates throughout the day. Aside from family members she is the only other person we trust with our dog. Will definitely be using her services again!

Cynthia did a great job taking care of our dog and cat. She met all their needs, including multiple feedings for our cat who is on a special diet. She promptly answered our calls while we were away and left us several texts with pictures, which we were happy to receive. I recommend her services to anyone who needs a caring, competent sitter!

About: Pets deserve the best! Grew up surrounded by all types of pets, such as dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters. Have had a cat of my own for 6 years, and I've constantly looked after my sister's dog since he was a puppy. I was the animal-obsessed one in my family, constantly taking in strays. I am a student at a University and have class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, I am free on those days after 5 pm. On Monday, Wednesday, and the weekend. I am free at any hour. I give my full attention to the animal when I am with them and treat them as my own. I am always sure the animal is comfortable before anything. I love to treat other people's pets as my own, and know when to give them their space. Am respectful of others' homes and careful not to disturb space. Instructions are easy for me to follow, and I like to send updates with photos of your fur baby.

About: I grew up with six dogs, so being around them has always been a big part of my life. I started helping care for them when I was about 10, and since then I’ve also looked after dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving them love and company, I’m gentle, reliable, and always happy to match their energy—whether they’re super active or more laid-back. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets with attention and love. I’m available for boarding on weekdays, weekends, and weekday visits or walks in the morning or afternoon I provide care in your home where your pet feels most comfortable and safe. I’m respectful of routines, always clean up after myself, and make sure your fur baby gets the love, attention, and calm energy they need while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. I have taken care of different animals since I was a little girl. I have a lot of experience with large and small animals. I work full time but I am available in the evening as well as some mornings before work. I usually have open availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful cat currently, who is very spoiled at my house. We love being active outside and playing with toys at home. I am a very active person myself, which is why I enjoying walking dogs so much.

Melinda was fantastic! Great communication, reliable, and took wonderful care of both our dog and our home. She sent updates and a photo while we were away, which we really appreciated. Our dog was so well cared for and didn’t miss a beat while we were gone. We will definitely be booking her again!
