“I don’t think I can say enough good things about Ashley. She followed every bit of our babies’ routine so they felt comfortable, was so communicative to help soothe our stress of leaving them, and is just an overall kind and amazing person. We are so grateful to have found her and cannot recommend Ashley enough!!”


“Damian was great! He was very attentive and respectful of all of our pets’ needs. One of our dogs got sick while we were away and he took wonderful care of her and informed us of everything we needed to know. I felt bad he had to deal with a sick dog but he was very understanding, caring, and patient with her the entire time. I would definitely recommend Damian and we’d for sure have him return to our house as well!”


“Jillian was great! Communicative, caring, responsive...she sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on all the goings on around the house. Would recommend her for anyone, and will definitely use her services again!”


“Sam was exceptional. He was so kind in meeting our family and furry baby before we left for the weekend. Was so attentive and friendly, our two year old toddler adored him and our furry friend has the best weekend! We got pictures and updates as well as felt so safe with sam watching after our fur baby at home. Our labradoodle was so happy to see us but all of the pictures we received from sam showed a happy and loved dog. We can’t wait to have sam look after our pup again in the future and have already booked him for the end of the month!”



“Jacob took great care of our dogs! He provided photos and updates while we were gone which was awesome and took good care of our house as well. We would definitely recommend and use him again!”


“Chloe was amazing with my boy Malai. She house-sat him, walked him and cared for him very well. She is also punctual, arrived a few minutes before the booking time, which shows her great work ethic. I would love to have Chloe care for Malai again”


“Lauren was absolutely fabulous. This was the first time leaving our elderly dog as we went out of the country and we were very scared to do so but Lauren made the whole process so easy she sent us daily pictures as well as spoiled our sweet girl to death. 10/10 would recommend her anytime we will definitely be using her in the future!!!!!”


“Anna was fantastic for our first 2 night stay with our Bella. She was great at sending updates and pictures while we were away. Bonus that she even did the bedding and put back together on the last day. Will use again… and again…”


“Leigha was amazing! She was on time, very personalable, and sweet! She loved on our boys for us, sent pictures. She quickly responded to any questions I asked and I felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!!!!”


About: I have owned both large and small dogs & am comfortable working with everything in between! I have recently rescued a German Shepard puppy from a shelter so I am also well versed with rescues and their needs. I am very experienced and am a dog lover at heart! I am currently a college student enjoying her summer off at home! So I have a very flexible schedule to help walk, care for, or hangout with your pup whenever needed! I can help take the dogs in and out of your home and am experienced with crates. I can also accommodate to your needs and routine of your pup!


“Kristi was amazing with all of our dogs. She made them and us feel comfortable the entire time we were gone and always kept us up to date on everything going on. I appreciate everything she did while we were away and we can't wait to use her again.”


About: I've had a deep love for dogs since childhood, and my passion has only grown over the years. I currently have a miniature labradoodle named Finn, whom I've potty trained, taught a variety of tricks, and worked with on behavioral improvement. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience at Doggstuff, a local pet store, where I had the opportunity to learn dog training techniques directly from a professional trainer. I'm also well-prepared to handle any emergency situation involving dogs, ensuring they are safe and well cared for at all times. My combination of personal experience and professional training sets me apart as a reliable and knowledgeable pet sitter. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of availability during both weekdays and weekends. I’m free from Friday to Sunday and can accommodate overnight visits during this time. On weekdays, I’m available outside of my class hours: - Monday: 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM - Tuesday: 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM - Wednesday: 1:00 PM – 10:00 PM - Thursday: 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM During the week, I can provide both short and long walks based on your pet’s needs. Weekends are perfect for extended overnight stays, so you can rest easy knowing your dog is in good hands! For overnight visits and walks, my priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your dog. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to maintain their routine and environment as closely as possible. I create a secure and calm atmosphere, ensuring your dog feels at ease while you’re away. For walks, I tailor the length and intensity to your dog’s energy level and preferences, whether it's a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. I also stay alert to their body language and surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. I’m committed to building trust with both you and your pet, offering constant updates and staying available for any questions you may have during the service. Whether it’s overnight or a simple walk, I treat your dog as my own—providing love, attention, and care throughout the entire visit.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and a variety of pets ever since I was a child. I have taken care of pets in a variety of ages, such as senior dogs as well as puppies and kittens. I have a very flexible schedule and am available most of the day, though, when classes start I may not be able to do as much in the mornings. I have taken care of dogs that don’t have a backyard and have to be taken on walks, as well as taken care of dogs in homes with a backyard.

About: Lifelong dog owner and lover of animals. I will care for your fur baby like he or she were my own. Potty trained 2 puppy litters. I work full time so my best availability is on weekends and weekdays any time after 5. I can do afternoon walks if close by. I have a friendly Jack Russel that loves to make friends and play. We will make your fur baby feel at home away from home

“Ashley is awesome! My apprehensive rescue, Yogi, can be intimidating and difficult to approach initially, let alone take on a walk. Ashley is fearless and was able to quickly get Yogi (and me) feeling comfortable with her. She did a meet and greet and two drop in visits before staying over night with him. She took him on nice long walks and waited until I got home after the overnight stay. It was clear they had bonded and that he had a fun, energy filled time with her. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”


About: I’ve been taking care of my own family pets for as long as I can remember. A few years ago is when I started taking care of others’ pets as well and I love it. I love helping and taking care of others! I can find any time throughout the week to take care of your animals. I have my own small business so I pick my own hours. I’m here whenever you need me! I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years so I have plenty of experience, if you have any special requests or rules I would be more than happy to accommodate!

“Lily did an amazing job taking great care of my dog! I really appreciate all her detailed communication and care she gave my dog. Lily a extremely thoughtful loving person to any pet she takes care of”

“Allison was absolutely fantastic and highly recommended! She gave my 3 babies lots of love, care and attention. She sent me pics and videos while I was away which I loved! Allison is just wonderful!!! I'll be certainly trying to book her for future stays!”
