“Nicole was perfect, our Maltese puppy has separation anxiety and when Nikole came he didn't care. I sneaked in and out twice and Jingles always knows where I am...not this time. Anyway , Nicole is very sweet...we rebooked her immediately.”



“Amazing is the word I would use. She did what was asked and also went above and beyond. We received great pictures and feedback the entire time we were gone. We came back to happy and well taken care of animals. We are very please with the services provided and will absolutely use Sierra again.”


“Laura consistently goes above and beyond. We had a sick pet and she took care of him like he was her own. Very appreciative of all the communication and love she shows.”


“Dina was a great dog & house sitter. She was able to accommodate our pet's walking schedule and left our home in perfect condition. I would highly recommend her and hope that she will be available for future bookings.”


“Alyssa was a pleasure to have watch my baby. Honeybear took right to her. He was walked and fed. Usually he won’t let new people walk him but he was attached to Alyssa from the start. She sent lots of pictures and even made me a hand painted photo of Honeybear. In Golds! Absolutely gorgeous! I will definitely be calling on Alyssa again soon. Thank you for loving on my baby!”


“Mackenzie is kind, thoughtful and gentle. She has loads of experience with dogs and cats and my very sensitive kitty loved her. So did my rambunctious, enthusiastic dogs. She took care of my pets like her own and my home was in super condition once she left. I am so thankful for her care and attention during our 9 day trip.”


“Kaylyn was great while taking care of my fur babies for 3 days! She gave them lots of attention, played with them and gave mental stimulation games! Definitely booking her again!”


About: I have had my own pets and taken care of friends' pets for at least 20 years. I am more than happy to take your loved ones for a walk, daily grooming, or even oral medication if needed. I quite enjoy talking my own dog on daily walks so I have no problem if you need daily walks!! I have my own mini Aussie, his name is Otis and he is attached to my hip!! He gets along well with other dogs and loves playing with new friends!! I also have 4 cats that love sun bathing and getting brushed daily. Pets are absolutely loved and welcomed in my home. Whether your pet(s) needs a new friend to take care of them because of work or vacation, I am your person!! Before work, I take care of the cats by cleaning cat boxes and refilling waters (they have automatic feeders). After work, I take my dog on a walk and play ball at the park, it's his favorite! My pet care includes feeding, exercise, grooming, and medication administration if needed. This also includes maintaining a clean and safe environment for the pets. For boarding, I have a decent sized backyard so if your dog likes playing with the house or fetching a ball, I got you covered. For drop-in visits or overnight stays, I will do whatever the usual routine is for your pet so they feel comfortable with me.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Rachel! From the moment we first connected, she was incredibly communicative and made sure to understand all of Amelia’s needs. She has such a sweet and caring personality, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with messages and an adorable video, which really reassured me that my pup was in great hands. What truly stood out was how quickly Amelia warmed up to her. Being a rescue and new to our family, she usually takes a little time to trust new people, but with Rachel, it was almost instant. She clearly has a special way with animals, and I could tell Amelia felt safe and comfortable with her. I’m so grateful for her care on such short notice, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and attentive to watch over your pet, I highly recommend Rachel!”



About: I currently have two dogs of my own, a 4 year old lab/pit/lacy dog/Heinz 57 mix and a 1.5 year old lab/husky mix who consume most of my hours (and energy) at home. I'm comfortable playing/working with dogs of all sizes and am able to work from home more regularly during these times and am fairly flexible in my hours. While not having any cats of my own currently, I did grow up in a house of 6 cats and enjoy their different personalities and temperaments. Whether it is simple walks with your 4 legged friend(s) or drop-ins to check on them at home, I am eager and happy to help! Very responsive to texts, calls or emails and will be a professional, yet fun, friend for your baby.

“I booked Kelsey for the second time for my house sitting needs looking after my chunky boy! She has delivered over the top service with lots of pictures and videos of him in the cutest ways possible which one is now my all time favorite as my Lock Screen!! She went above and beyond in keeping my apartment so clean and squared away (not that it was messy or dirty to begin with) that it was easy on my mind knowing she was giving cuddles and treats to Bluey. If you want someone that’s going to keep you in the loop of how things are going while also taking care of all the needs of your pets AND THEN SOME, go with Kelsey! Peace of mind all day 🙌🏻😇”


“Zoe did a great job taking care of my cat Sylvester. She sent photos and updates during the stay with how things were going. Sylvester also seemed to really like her. Would book with Zoe again for house sitting or other drop in care visits.”


“What a great experience we had! So thankful for Kenita’s services in housesitting for us on relatively short notice. We came home to happy pups, and a house well tended to. We received many pictures throughout our trip, and had great communication as well. She double checked that some quirky behaviors were normal for our dogs, and made sure to give them lots of love. We would highly recommend her to others and will be requesting her services again in the future! Thank you!”


“Christina is terrific. She took outstanding care of our dog who is young and needs lots of attention. She was courteous, accountable, kind and considerate. Highly recommend her and already looking forward to being able to use her again.”


“This is the first time Kayleen watched Harley and she was AMAZING!!!! I had zero stress and Harley immediately loved her. She even hiked with her and took her for walks. 10/10 recommend!”
