“Meghan was such an amazing sitter for our pup! She was super responsive and communicative throughout her whole stay. I had no worries while we were out of town that our sweet boy was well cared for. She’s the best so if you can have her take care of your pet, do it!”


“ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Phyllis is so sweet and I’m pretty sure she spoiled me as much as my boy!! She sent me so many pics and updates with added bonuses that made my vacation that much more enjoyable knowing he was in great hands!! She took great care of our home as well. I will book her again and again!!”


“Megan was great with our dogs! We had to go away for a few days with short notice, and she was awesome enough to come house sit our 2 pets. They were pretty much instantly in love with her. She provided daily updates and we felt secure knowing our dogs were well cared for! Thanks Megan!”


“Erica did an excellent job caring for my "girls" while I was away for a week. She sent text and photo updates regularly making my time away stress free. I came home to very happy pups, mail brought in and a clean house. I highly recommend Erica and will without hesitation use her again.”

About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
