“I watched Jennifer with Javie from my Ring doorbell, so I felt like I was there. Javie had a blast running around the yard. However, he found an old rawhide bone in the yard which would not be good for him. To get the old bone away from him, she gave him a new bone from the kitchen, which he preferred and then relinquished the old one. Javie can be very possessive of his toys and bones, so I really appreciated that Jennifer knew how to handle the situation. She was calming and encouraging, she is really good with him. I highly recommend Jennifer to those looking for a a care giver that is looking out for the best for their pet.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I grew up in a household that always had at least two dogs that were part of the family. I absolutely love dogs and will take care of and love your babies like they’re my own! I currently own two dogs, Churro and Cannoli, and they light up my life! I have experience caring for my own pets, my family’s pets and my friends’ pets. I would absolutely love to help take care of your fur babies when needed. My own dog, Churro, takes medication daily so I am experienced in administering oral pills and liquid medication. I can’t wait to go on walks, give belly scratches and have fun. I do work full time so I understand how heart breaking it is to leave your dogs at home, so if I can help out in anyway I would love to! I’m available on weekends mostly, and during the week my schedule times could fluctuate. I also like to vacation myself, so I understand how difficult it is to find someone you trust to watch your pet while you are away and I would love to be that person for you! I currently live in an apartment so my fur babies get lots of love indoors and lots of fun walks around the neighborhood! I also love taking them to the park so they can explore.
About: We are excited to have your pet become a part of our family!! We are committed to treat every pet as a special member of our family. With a loving toddler who adores animals, our home becomes a place of joy and has a lot of opportunities for exciting activities but also LOTS of cuddles. We are good at reading the dog's personality to know if they want to play and run or if they need time to rest and get snuggles. We have experience working in an animal shelter, helping animals feel safe and loved. We are very experienced with working with easing pets' anxieties and creating environments that are calming and enriching. At our home, pets find not just temporary boarding, but a home away from home filled with warmth and personalized care. My husband and I are both off on the weekends. We also are off together on Mondays. For the remainder of the week, my husband works the evenings and into the night while I work during the day. We will have someone always at home who is available to care for the pets staying with us. When we board or house sit pets, we make sure to create a comfortable and loving environment that feels like home. This includes following their usual routines for feeding, playtime, and exercise. We love interacting with the pets, whether it's playing with toys, going for walks, or just cuddling up on the couch. We're also attentive to any special needs they have, like medication or specific dietary requirements. Above all, we aim to provide them with the same care and attention they receive from their own family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay.
“Joyce went WAY above and beyond when she took care of my dog for me. She brought in the mail, offered to water flowers, cleaned up after my dog when she got sick and even used rug cleaner on the spots. She showed up exactly on time, every time, and she spent extra time with my dog making sure she felt comfortable. Then, she left a treat for my dog, and for me, with a nice thank you note. She also sent so many nice pictures so I always knew what was happening here at home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, dog loving petter sitter.”
“Laura was great caring for not only our 80 pound puppy, but also our senior dog who needed alittle extra care. She was available early morning and late evening while we were out of town. She wasn’t afraid to call with questions, which I very much appreciated. Definitely will use Laura again!”

Claire C.Star Sitter
“I cannot say enough positive things about Claire and her family's dog sitting service! We reached out to them last minute just before the 4th of July weekend for an urgent 8-day trip, and they were not only available but incredibly accommodating, even on the holiday itself. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. They arranged a meet and greet the very next day, which immediately put us at ease. The drop-off was stress-free thanks to their fenced-in backyard where we could drive through, close the gate and release our dogs without worry. Claire had already anticipated our dogs' unfamiliarity with cats and ensured they were separated until they felt comfortable together. Knowing our dogs might be anxious about fireworks, Claire reassured us they would keep them safe and comfortable. Throughout our trip, they sent numerous updates and photos, which truly helped us relax knowing our pets were in good hands. We had mentioned that playing in the backyard would suffice for exercise, but Claire and her family went above and beyond. They took our dogs on multiple walks and visits to the dog park, ensuring they were active and happy. Their young son was fantastic with our dogs, adding an extra layer of warmth and care to their stay. When it came time for pick-up, Claire had everything neatly packed and ready, making the process as smooth as possible. Booking a pet sitter with limited reviews can feel uneasy, but I am so glad we chose Claire and her family. Despite booking out of necessity due to the last minute situation, they exceeded all expectations. I will definitely be using their services again and recommending them to all my friends with pets. Trust me, you won't regret choosing Claire for your dog sitting needs!”
