“Tanaysia was so good with my shy boy Gumbo! She recognized his anxiety and checked in with me and we had a plan of action. He warmed up to her so quickly too, which made me feel a at ease! She was communicative and asked questions when needed. Will def have her back again when I need someone!”


“Rebecca was exceptional!! She kept us updated with consistent updates/photos. I could tell my boys were well taken care of. She was really flexible and accommodating of our needs. She gave our boys lots of love and snuggles. Rebecca is extremely reliable. It was very comforting knowing the dogs were in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”


“Dustin was awesome with Max— he sent frequent updates with videos and photos while we were away. We could tell Max felt very comfortable with him. 10/10– would definitely recommend his dog-sitting services.”


“Jenny really helped us out last minute staying at our house for 4 days after 2 other sitters cancelled. She sent lots of pics and our house was just like we left it when we returned home. We would definitely use her again.”


“Nichole is the best!! She really cares about my little guy and sends me pictures and updates all the time! I really appreciate her putting my mind at ease when I go out of town.”


“Natalie was excellent! She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs weren’t left alone too long when I had a wonky travel schedule, and she was great at communicating about everything my pups were up to. I definitely recommend her!”


“Our small rescue dog has only been left alone for a couple of hours a day since she was saved from living in a field with a bad breeder. We were very anxious about leaving her for a week but Jason did an outstanding job of keeping her happy, well walked, and communicated with us twice a day or more to make sure we were comfortable with her status. We highly and unconditionally recommend Jason and look forward to using his services again.”


“Randy watched my pup at my place, and I highly recommend him! My dog is anxious and sometimes goes on hunger strikes while I’m away, and Randy was watchful of him to make sure he was eating. Randy was communicative with several rounds of photos throughout each day, and he was respectful of my home while staying with my pup. Great experience!”


“Rosemary was great with our two pups over the weekend. She kept us updated with photos and left our house tidy. Would definitely recommend and can only say good things for any dog/house sitting needs.”


“We will definitely choose Alejandro for house sitting in the future. Truly professional from beginning to end starting with a survey to become familiar with our fur babies and a follow up visit before the boarding period started. Due to travel delays on the way home we had to extend Alejandro's stay and he did so without question; we appreciate the flexibility. Highly recommend.”

“Izzy and BooBoo had a great time with Cassandra. Whether they were just hanging out or going for a walk, they were well taken care of. They got lots of pets and we got lots of pics and updates. Thanks again, Cassandra.”


About: I have extensive experience providing daytime care for dogs, from 8 weeks old to 18 years old, including those with special needs that make them unfit for traditional pet care services. My responsibilities include monitoring pet health and behavior to catch potential issues early, long walks/ playtime to ensure they get the stimulation they need, administering food and medication on a set schedule, and maintaining a clean, safe, and comforting environment. I implement breed- and temperament-specific measures—such as separation barriers or designated play areas—to ensure harmony among animals. I provide basic grooming services including bathing, brushing, and nail trims, and respond swiftly to emergencies with first aid and coordination with veterinary professionals when necessary. Pet care fits naturally into my routine both during the summer and while taking college classes, especially as somebody who has a dog of their own. In the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for animals. During the school year, I structure my classes to leave room for regular pet care responsibilities, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm dependable, organized, and committed to making pet care a consistent part of my daily routine year round. I’m comfortable and experienced caring for pets in clients' homes, making sure their routines are maintained in a familiar, stress-free environment. I follow all instructions closely, keep the space clean, and ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

“Carly was wonderful and gave so much attention to Bear. He loved her !We didn’t give Carly much notice but she saved us by helping at the last minute. She sent Pictures and updates- and I will use her services again. Very very happy with the care and attention she gave.”


“George was absolutely awesome watching Xena and Boba. He went the extra mile when there was an accident and cleaned the carpet and all! We couldn’t even tell something had happened when we returned. He kept us updated throughout our time away and made sure our pups were loved! Would 100% recommend him and book again too!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love all animals! I also understand that every animal has unique needs, and I am committed to meeting them with patience and diligence. Friends and neighbors often trust me with both their homes and pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. It would be my pleasure to meet and care for your pet! :) I just graduated college and have plenty of free time before starting full-time work in October. My schedule is extremely open, and I can likely accommodate your pet’s care needs into my schedule. I treat your home and pet with the utmost care and respect. I have experience administering medications and always follow detailed instructions to ensure your pet’s safety. Whether I’m walking, visiting, or staying overnight, I aim to maintain your pet’s routine and provide dependable, compassionate care in a calm and familiar environment.

Kaitlyn W.
“I’ve known Katie for years, not only as a close friend, but also as someone I’ve trusted to care for my large German Shepherd. Last fall, I had to leave town unexpectedly, and Katie stepped in without hesitation to watch my dog and stay at my home. She made sure to stick to his feeding, walking, and medication schedule, made sure he got tons of exercise and attention, and sent me frequent photo updates of their walks and downtime. When I came back, my house was spotless and Chip was relaxed and happy. Katie’s love for animals is obvious. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring sitter.”
