Natalie was amazing. She took great care of my older cat, anticipating what he needed to be more comfortable. She sent updates and photos regularly and left the house clean and neat. Highly recommend!

Victoria stayed at my house for 5 days and cared for my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She sent frequent updates and photos and took great care of my dear Nanette. She left the house clean and neat. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and recommend her highly.

It was great working with Jackie! She was very communicative, gave attentive care to our sweet pup and respected our home during a house sit. Looking forward to working with her again!

It was such a wonderful experience having Vanessa watch Mochi at our house for us! We knew from the first moment at the meet-and-greet that Mochi would be well taken care of and we came home to a very happy pup. Vanessa took her out for walks as requested, sent us great photo updates, and cuddled with her while we were gone. Mochi was genuinely sad when we got home because Vanessa had to leave, and I think that says a lot about their bond! We will definitely ask Vanessa to house sit for us again!

I reached out to Rowan last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating. She was able to come for a meet and greet on short notice and flexible with scheduling. She was great with my dog, who can be a bit nippy, and handled everything with patience and confidence. She kept me updated throughout the stay, was very responsive to messages, and clearly very responsible. I’ve already booked her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful care!

K and Izzy were instant friends and from the pictures I received Izzy clearly had a ball (literally and figuratively)! K ensured she had a romp in a park, plenty of time to play ball and lots of attention and snuggles through her day. Izzzy was contentedly snoring in her crate when I returned home. Thank you, K!

Traci has great energy and will do everything in her power to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She is an exceptionally responsible, quick-learning sitter, and an excellent communicator. Plus, she seriously makes the best shortbread cookies I have EVER tasted. We will not hesitate to book her again!

About: I’ve been a professional dog sitter for over 3.5 years. I have experience staying overnight, managing households with up to four dogs at once, and maintaining consistent routines to keep them comfortable and happy. I’ve also cared for my own dogs, handling everything from walks and feeding to vet visits and administering medication when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — whether that means playtime, long walks, or quiet companionship. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. Pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine — I plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like a task — it’s something that brings structure and joy to my day. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, following their pets’ routines exactly to keep them comfortable and happy. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any medical needs such as medication or inhalers. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and attended to while maintaining the home’s cleanliness and security. My goal is always to give your pets consistent care and companionship so they feel calm and happy while you’re away.

About: From puppies to seniors, I have cared for puppadoos for over 30 years. Depending on age, personality, temperament, and individual needs, a different approach is needed for each of our friends to get what they (and you) need. A wise, older dog requires patience in order to move along at a slower, unhurried pace: after all, in our retirement years, we have earned the right to stop and smell the roses (and bushes and fire hydrants for that matter). A younger, adolescent pooch will inevitably try to test the limits of who the leader is, and will assume the role if we do not do it ourselves. They need to exercise! To run! So much to see and sniff! But with a caring, guided hand, they can still explore the world and experience all there is to see and smell while still being expected to follow good behavior (and be rewarded with cookies when they do!). Understanding the needs of every dog is important. I am ready to take your best friend out to check on the neighborhood with any special instructions you might have (treat rewards, behavior reinforcement, distance requirements). They are in great hands, that is a rock-solid promise. I'm here to help and can't wait to shake hands and paws and meet your best friend! My schedule is flexible and can be available to walk your dog or house sit for you with short notice. I understand emergencies can happen unexpectedly and will cover for you! If your dog requires a strict medication regimen, or specific times to be let out for bathroom breaks, or loves to play or requires alone time, I can handle almost every situation. Each dog is unique. Trust is important. I have to EARN your trust, and if your dog doesn't trust me, that's a big red flag. A dog's intuition knows more than we can imagine. If you would like a text message update or even a video call to check in on your pooch in real time, that is a request I would ask from someone looking after my own dog and would be happy to oblige.

We had an awesome experience with Kennady as our dog sitter! She responded right away to our last-minute request and even scheduled a same-day meet and greet, which was incredibly helpful and reassuring. During the stay, she sent us daily updates and photos, and our Tiger looked so happy and well cared for in every one of them. It was clear he was in great hands. Kennady also left our home in excellent condition—it was spotless when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with her again!

Laura is an excellent pet sitter. She is so patient even with my extremely temperamental Westie who needs lots of extra care. I was so nervous because most sitters have told me they can’t handle Daisy and don’t see her sweet personality but Laura made it so easy. She was patient and kind to her and they were friends by the time I got home. She administered medication, was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures, and she took great care of the house. We will definitely be hiring her again!
