“Katlyn was amazing with my dogs! I felt so comfortable with her there! She treated my puppers like her own and showed them so much love and care! You was great at sending me photos and updated!!! I will 100% be rebooking her!”


2. Sarah C.

“Sarah was excellent!! She was a pleasure to plan with and a great communicator. She left the house clean and was resourceful when she needed to find things without my help. And of course she did a great job tending to and loving in our pups!! Would definitely book her again!!”


3. Sara S.

“Sara was absolutely amazing! She communicated well and kept me updated, she took great care of our home and doggos, and I am very much looking forward to having her come again! A++ human with a great energy and love for animals!”


4. Kelly G.

“Kelly was very easy to work with and we trusted her to stay at our house for over a week to take care of our two dogs. She followed the instructions we provided and took especially good care of our 25 year old dog who is on seizure medication. We will definitely use her services again the next time we have the need for a dog sitter. Thank you Kelly!”


5. Cynthia C.

“We could not have been more thrilled to have Cynthia take care or Diesel. Because of his age and, tremendous anxiety we were nervous leaving him. Diesel usually goes with us everywhere. We had one day of our own anxiety and then knew he was in great hands! We received so many pictures and updates on how he was eating, sleeping and getting his medications. We will definitely use Cynthia again if we have to go out of town without him or just a day out without worry.”


6. Maria M.

“Couldn’t have found a amazing sitter at such short notice! Maria is a very accommodating and attentive person and took very good care of our puppy! Highly recommend! I will use her again when i visit Alton in future travels!”


7. Brandi B.


“Brandi was an absolute delight to work with. You will be instantly at ease with her caring for your pets. She is thorough, kind, and it was amazing to come home from a trip to happy and relaxed animals. Brandi communicates so well by sending pictures and updates. Will be using her services again and again! Thank you Brandi?”


8. Kristin C.

“From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!”


9. Caeden S.

“This was a long stay and we were able to enjoy the time away knowing our pup was well cared for at home enjoying Regular walks and outside play.”


10. TeAsia H.

“Tee was absolutely fabulous! She was attentive and responsive and our pup just loved her so much!!!! She was respectful and always sent us photos and updates. The house was clean as a button when she left, like no one had even been there! I just can’t say enough good things about her! We will definitely be using her again! Definitely book her!!!”


11. Danielle M.
“Having known and loved Danielle for 25 years, I can say that one if not the most important thing in her life has always been her animals. She dedicates her time and care at the animal hospital and cannot say enough about how rewarding that is for her. I can say that her love for animals is reflected in how she cares for her own dogs and other pets and she is a very sweet person. My dogs have always been safe with her and they love her! I know this because I’m her dad.”


12. Aubrey M.

“Aubrey was wonderful staying in my home and caring for my dog and cat. She stayed in touch during our vacation which gave me peace of mind that all was good. I will definitely request Aubrey in the future!”


13. Madison A.

“Madison was awesome! My pup, Louie, loved hanging out with her and was thoroughly tired out by the time she left from all the walks and play time!! Would definitely recommend!”


14. Chenyi W.

“Chen is great watching my energetic girl! She sent many updates and pictures throughout the stay.”


15. Alexandra M.

“Alexandra was great! We got daily pictures and updates while we were away and she stayed with our dog and cat. She took great care of our house while staying here as well! We would definitely book her again in the future!”


16. Leah L.

“Leah did a fine job taking care of my pets while I was away for two weeks. They had a great time playing together and were in good spirits when I returned.”


17. Dylan R.

“It's never easy when you have to leave your dogs for an extended period of time, especially on really short notice. There couldn't have been a better person to watch our two dogs than Dylan. He kept us up to date with pictures and information. The dogs were very well taken care of. The house was in ever better condition than when we left it as well! I have another (planned) trip coming in a few months and will definitely be using Dylan again! Thank you so much for taking great care of my two big dogs!”


18. Corinne N.

“Corinne was fantastic at watching our two big dogs! We got daily doggy report cards and lots of pictures - we loved seeing how our boys were doing while we were away. She easily handled our more complicated feeding process for our dogs (they are spoiled and get fancy meals, and one of our dogs is very picky about taking his medication every morning), and left our house as clean (if not cleaner) than we left it. Thank you, Corinne!”


19. Jackson K.
“Jackson is not only a dog lover/owner; he has also taken care of my dogs on multiple occasions. He connects well with the dogs and genuinely gets to know their personalities and needs. I would highly recommend him if you need a responsible, fun dog tender that goes above and beyond for your fur babies.”

About: Animals just vibe with me—dogs, cats, you name it. I bring calm energy, belly rubs, and treats (with your permission, of course). Fluent in Bark. I currently work part time as a birth worker, my schedule is very flexible and open! I can do stop ins and house stays easily. Safety and cleanliness are my top priorities in pet, home care.
