“Lauren was beyond amazing. Minutes before we were able to leave for a long weekend trip, a bird managed to fly in our house. We weren't sure if it even got in and searched the house for it, but couldn't find it I messaged Lauren right away to let her know. Instead of cancelling, she laughed it off. We saw nothing for the first day, but she did end up finding it on day 2. And like a Disney princess, Lauren even managed to safely get the bird back outside!! She took such good care of our old man. I would absolutely work with Lauren again in a heart beat. Please book with her!”
“Angie did an awesome job sitting my dogs when I was out for the evening. She took them outside to relieve themselves and fed them dinner. I really loved the photos and detailed report she sent- it made me feel very good about their safety and comfort while I was out. I will definitely be booking with Angie again in the future. Thanks, Angie!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I have several references I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that sometimes allows me to work from home. Your dog, however, will never be alone because my husband is home during the day. I take your dog for a morning and night walk and on weekends three short walks. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture
“My girlfriend and I use Rover from time to time and have met quite a few people in different states, that being said Sandra was our favorite. She was THE most professional dog Walker we have ever had. She wrote down our pups needs and asking important questions a lot of dog walkers/sitters tend to forget. She also was excellent in terms of communication and punctuality. She was always on time when we scheduled her, kept us updated, and she was someone who you could really trust in your home when you were away. She is the ideal dog walker. Thanks for everything Sandra. - The West Family”
“Thank you so much for taking my pups out and making sure they got a potty break mid day!! This allows me and my family to not worry and stress in busy days!! They were so happy to see you!!”
“Maria was timely and understanding of our wishes and instructions for our kitties and always ensured to send plenty of photos to reassure us our kitties were thriving. We will certainly be utilizing Maria’s services in the future! Maria is highly recommended!”
“Suzanne was great with our car. She is reliable, punctual and does a great job with notes and pictures at every visit. She is highly responsive and engaged! Couldn’t recommend any higher!”
About: I am confident with dogs, I love taking them on walks or playing fetch. I love the exercise that comes with high energy dogs, and the snuggles that come with low energy dogs. Old dogs that need a little help deserve a little extra love too! I work part time as a hairstylist and I want to fill the rest of my time doing something that makes me happy! I love physical exercise, I love animals, so I know that I can help pet owners! (I also love animals snuggles) I’ll be honest, I didn’t grow up with dogs. But I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember. As a small kid I remember walking up to a big dog, and two adults (my mom and the dogs owner) trying to stop me because the dog wasn’t great with little kids, but this dog just licked my face and let me pet it. If I’m walking down the street and see a dog, you best believe I’m going to ask you to pet them. I have grown up with a cat my whole life, giving them medications throughout kitten-hood and adulthood. I think animals of any kind provide the best amount of happiness for a person.
About: Ashley and I both grew up with dogs. While we currently don't have a dog of our own our family enjoys caring for others and are teaching our two boys ages 9 and 11 years old how to be responsible through these caregiving experiences. They help care for your loved one by playing with them both inside and outside, walking, feeding, and general care. We have a nice safe neighborhood and a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to move around. My wife and I both have hybrid jobs and our children are home from school before 4pm. While there might be some occasions when we need to be in our office your pet will be taken out a minimum of every 8 hours. We typically will walk the dog as early as 6am, then again around 8:30am, 4pm, 6:30pm, and 9:00pm, on days when we aren't home. When home this is more frequent and as needed according to your pets needs. We have a dog-friendly home with no indoor plants and have a nice spacious fenced-in backyard. Your dog will get plenty of attention from our family including playing, petting, feeding, walks, cuddling, etc. We all love dogs!
About: I’ve taken care of my family pets my entire life and have been trusted with feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends while away! I currently am a mama to a pup and a kitty who I love more than anything (don’t tell my fiancé 🤭) I’d love to be able to help in a pinch to take care of your bestie and care for them as if they were part of my own pack. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays with an extremely flexible schedule! Weekends, I am typically available with enough notice. Visits for me can last any where between 10min check ins to 1hour adventures. At home, we have a lead for our dog to roam the yard. I am comfortable with letting pups out in fenced yards, walking on leashes, and crating if that is something you need. I’m totally willing to assist with meal times and treats with instructions provided. I totally understand that each pet has specific needs and I’ll go the distance to keep them happy.
“Eliana was wonderful! She was conscientious and easy to communicate with, and did a great job of keeping us updated on how our dogs were doing. She was a pleasure to work and took great care of the pups!”
“We can’t say THANK YOU enough to Richelle. She stepped in to be our home / dog sitter when the first sitter didn’t do her job. Richelle kept us in the loop with update texts and a ton of photos. She is a genuine dog lover. We would recommend her for anyone’s pet.”
“Jen was wonderful. It gave us peace of mind knowing our two dogs were being cared for in our home. We looked into boarding but felt our dogs would be stressed from the experience. Jen coming over to let them out a couple of times, feeding them, and giving them comfort during a thunderstorm was perfect. We highly recommend her service.”

I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
