“Maegan was great! She responded quickly each time I contacted her. Maegan's house and yard are well set up for a visiting dog. She is relaxed and calm and well-prepared. Drop-off and pick-up were very easy. My little dog seemed comfortable in Maegan's house. I was given an update and a picture of my dog while I was away. I would happily choose Maegan as a sitter again.”



“Kyle was great with our pup! I am sure that Buddy enjoyed his stay and having such a a nice yard to play in. Kyle was quick to follow up on any questions and kept us updated during our trip.”

“(I have a BullyMix) Jayla is great! Warm personality can see she is caring and my pup will be in great hands and he was!!

He seemed happy and at ease! Thank you will be booking again.”

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“Chris and Chelsea were awesome! Philip has a lot of energy (or at least he did when I dropped him off!) and they matched it! We all appreciate the enrichment that they provided Philip while we were out of town as well as the pictures and videos that put my mind at ease, especially as it was our first time leaving him with someone else overnight. All in all we had a fantastic experience and are all looking forward to next time!”


“Laura was great with our two older dogs! She gave them meds and fed a special diet. Most importantly, she handled their stress reactions to being boarded for the first time with a new person”


“Lori was so amazing with our bernese mountain dog and accommodating when our flight got back at 10pm. This is our second time we left our pup with Lori and she is just the best !”


“Amanda was amazing with my high-energy dog! Darla got to go on long walks, even a hike, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and attention. I really appreciated Amanda’s patience and care—my dog came home happy and tired! Highly recommend for anyone, Darla can’t wait to go back.”


“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”


“So thankful for Olesia for taking in Drogo. And even taking him earlier than initially planned. We love all the photos they’ve sent, showed how happy and comfortable he is. Drogo really enjoyed his stay. When we visit the area again, we’ll definitely contact them.”


About: I had dog walk for number of years and had work seasonally at a pet company before. I am confident I can take care of your dog while you ar away. It is going to be a part time gig for me, I can do most evenings and weekends; During weekday, I can start my services after 6pm and anytime at weekend. I will do my best to ensure I follow your instruction and provide on time updates of your dog and most importantly the pet will have my full attention during my services.


“Maggie is great! Flexible and great with both our GSD and lab. Drop off and pick up is so easy. We only bring food, collars, leashes, and don’t have to worry about lugging around their crates. Thanks Maggie!”

“Very happy after Cache took care of my dog this weekend. She is a good communicator, located in a convenient location and has a nice apartment. The most important thing about finding the right sitter or walker is trust and I already feel that after just one experience! Def will book again.”
