“Gilian was so fantastic with our 2 high energy dogs! She sent daily pictures with thorough updates. She also made sure to spend some one-on-one time with our anxious dog when she needed it which was so great! I am so glad we found someone who we can trust and was so easy to work with. We will absolutely be using her again!”



“Ruby was great with Luna and provided many updates which my wife definitely appreciated. We definitely plan on looking to Ruby in the future if/when we need a sitter again.”


“Katy and Dennis are a one in a million find! They take such great care for our high energy dogs, send daily photos, and our dogs are happy to visit them anytime! I highly recommend these two when looking for care for your pups!”


“Ellen was a great sitter and we would definitely book her again. Her care and communication were top notch! We received many texts and videos each day giving us peace of mind. She is the best!”


“Such a treat to have Duane & Lauren take care of my pup, Rapha while I was away. They are very responsive and attentive to the needs of both owner and doggie. Thank you!”


“He’s amazing with my dog. He understands how she’s upset with changes and is patient with her. My dog seems to enjoy her time with him and is happy and healthy when I pick her up.”


“David did a great job with our dog Roscoe for a long weekend! Roscoe is a high energy dog that needs a lot of attention and David had the perfect set up, with a great property including a fenced in area. We received daily photo updates and very flexible pick up and drop off times. We would recommend David to anyone and would be confident having Roscoe visit again in the future!”


“Heather was so sweet with my pups, Vienna and Arlo! She has a warm demeanor, which helped to create a pretty instant level of comfort. I love that she had a playmate for them as well, everyone seemed to get along great! Heather is also very responsive, which is always appreciated. Will definitely use her services again. 😊”


“Rosie really enjoyed her stay at Amanda’s home. She came home exhausted which is always a great sign for our energetic girl. We highly recommend Amanda and her family for the care of your fur baby. We will use them again in the future. ❤️”


“Courtney was awesome! She sent pictures and updates daily. Cassy seemed right at home. We will definitely be reaching out to Courtney again and would highly recommend her for your fur baby ❤️”


“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”



“Jennifer was awesome!! She provided us with pictures and updates of how our dog Rocky was doing with her, which was very nice. Jennifer was very personable and easy going - a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her and will be using her to watch Rocky again in the future.”



“Our puppy Luca had such a great time with Heather and her family! We could have not asked for better care for our boy! Heather was so attentive to Lucas needs and how to keep him active, engaged, and happy. We received lots of pictures and videos while we were gone giving us peace of mind. Luca loved playing with the family dog and even had extra pup company while enjoying a beautiful evening outside by the fire. We will absolutely have Heather and her family sit for us again!”


“Tanya was amazing. We had tried to find a pet sitter for our very anxious/sometimes aggressive dog Millie for a long time, and finally met Tanya. She clearly is very passionate about helping animals feel safe and cared for, and was so compassionate about our poor dog's fears and problems. We did a trial sleepover before our 10-day trip and it went great. When we were on our trip, Tanya sent us frequent updates and videos, showing how well Millie was doing. She replied quickly to our texts and was very reassuring. When we picked Millie up, she appeared well cared-for and fine (or as fine as our dog gets!) We HIGHLY recommend Tanya!”


“Anne is kind and caring. Our dog, Sheena, is hesitant with new people. Anne sat down on the floor to greet her and Sheena liked her right away. Anne is wonderful! We highly recommend her!”


“No one will give your doggy more attention than Micah! We received photos and videos and other updates of our pup having a great time in a wonderful, roomy setting with opportunities for nature strolls. Highly recommend!”


“Thank you, Alex, for taking such good care of Gnarly! I especially appreciate that you played with him indoors on the day it poured with rain - he definitely needs to expend energy. The fact that you were able to recognize that speaks to how well you can care for an individual dog's needs. Also, thank you for keeping him the extra day when our plans changed last minute - that flexibility is a godsend!”


About: I am a very kind person to animals and people! I try to treat people and animals as I would like to be treated. I would love to care for your pet and will always try to do the best job that I can. Growing up my family always owned a dog and I love all dogs of all sizes. We owned chihuahuas and we owned boxers and pugs. I also own a cat that I love very much! I hope that you will consider me to care for your pets when you are not able to. I promise to treat them as though they were my own. I hope that you will consider me to care for your pet and will do my best. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully present with my dogs and cat and any animals I may have the privilege of watching. I typically have a routine with my dogs and cat. They all get fed twice a day. I try to play with them a little every hour and we typically take walks twice a day as well. I do have an outdoor play area for them they go out supervised about 4 times a day

Rebekah B.
“My wife Rebekah is very kind, caring, and good hearted woman. She loves all types of animals. She rescued our cat Joy from a shelter 4 years ago. Our family currently has a rabbit that we all love. Rebekah has grown up with dogs almost her entire life. We have plans to have a dog of our own in the near future. I know she would be responsible in providing that your dog is safe and properly taken care without worry from the owners.”
