“Rachael stayed for 10 days with our 14 and 8 year old dogs and we had no concerns or worries. Not only were the dogs well cared for, she took great care of our house, even taking the initiative to put the garbage out a second time when we had flight delays and missed connections and her schedule allowed her to stay another night. Though a seemingly little thing, it was so nice to see when we returned, not to mention the luck of having her with our dogs when the airlines couldn't get us home. We are so grateful!”
“Alana was wonderful - she’s responsive during the booking process and followed all the notes we went over during our meet and greet discussion. I have an 11 month old whippet who is a little nervous to be left with a new person, but he warmed right up to her! Alana was very patient and gave lots of updates. Would definitely use her sitting services again.”
“Victoria was a great dog sitter! She was able to accommodate my last minute request. I felt very comfortable with her watching my large dog while I traveled. She asked lots of important questions during our meet and greet and followed my instructions closely. She provided daily updates with pictures, which ensured me my dog was getting the best care! Her communication was great and I appreciated that she left my house clean for when I returned. Will definitely have Victoria sit for me again in the future!”
“Salina was an awesome sitter for our dog, Beck! Beck isn’t the easiest dog, but Salina got along really well with him and took great care of him! We would love to have her sit again for Beck sometime!”
“Donna was exceptional, and we plan to use her again for our upcoming travel! She is kind, responsible, and was super flexible even when our flights were unexpectedly delayed. Thank you, Donna!”
“Leah stepped in last minute when our original sitter had to cancel after we had already left for vacation, and she took great care of our dogs! She was very responsive and professional, and I felt really comfortable having her watch our pups and stay in our home. I’d highly recommend her house sitting services!”
“Ethan did a great job dog sitting! Our dog reacts to other dogs and he was calm with her and handled her very well. He kept in touch and sent pictures and updates. We came home after a long stay of about 11 days away to a happy and healthy dog. Would highly recommend Ethan!”
About: I am ready and excited to do whatever your dog likes to do, whether it's exercising with a long walk, playing fetch, or relaxing while I give them a belly rub. I grew up with 2 dogs and have experience pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and colleagues over the years. I have never met a dog I didn't get along with; they seem to recognize that I am a dog person and really want nothing more than to make their tails wag. I am currently in nursing school in a mostly online program, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I currently have no pets and would love to hang out with your dog(s)! I’m currently in nursing school and my program is mostly asynchronous online, so my schedule is pretty flexible overall. In the fall, my clinical days will be Thursday and Friday from 7-1, so I will only be available in the afternoon on those days. I live in a pet-friendly apartment across the street from a grassy yard area and near residential areas good for walks. I love going for long walks (especially with a dog pal!) but am always able to adjust for whatever your dog needs.
About: I’ve taken care of my lhasa apso for 9 years including feeding, walking, and playing! I’ve also been walking dogs, housesitting, and doing drop in visits for 2 years with a variety of furry friends! I’m a recent grad working a part time cafe job over the summer. I’d love to spend some of my free time meeting new pets! I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide about how your unique home and unique pet interact! I’m here to make you and your pup feel comfortable and happy!
“Sara was amazing! Our 11 month old Violet loved her immediately. We asked her short notice, to stay a few extra hours and she was super accommodating and responsive. Can't say enough positive things about our experience. Will definitely use again!”
“Ani is a fantastic sitter, she accepted a last minute booking request and was super communicative. She did a great job handling my pup who is very shy at first with new sitters.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 15 years, and have always had a large, loved dog of my own. More experience with adopted/rescue dogs than breeder dogs Currently working full time, but will be a law student starting in August, so will have much more availability during the weeks and also during the weekend. I am more comfortable taking care of your dog in their own home, as I have a dog who can be slightly reactive back home
“Halleen was so kind and loving to our dog. We felt so comfortable allowing her to stay at our house. She did such a great job, communicated well and in additions to walking, she took our dog to play at the local park a few times over the weekend. We can’t wait to have her look after our dog again. Fantastic job.”
“Kaitlin stepped in to help us out with dog care in a pinch. She was warm, reliable, responded quickly to messages, and was candid about time she needed to be away from the house one day so we could have someone stop by. She was calm and caring with our 3-year old rescue dog, even through 4th of July fireworks. Bonus: she left the house very clean and folded the sheets and towels better than we could have done.”
