“Hannah was great! My cats are a little rambunctious and like to spend the day outside and are sometimes a bit difficult to find when it comes time to come home. Hannah traversed blocks and bushes to track these little guys down to make sure they spent the night safe and sound at home! She sent lots of pictures and updates. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”

“My dogs enjoyed having Ian watch them while we were gone for 5 days. One of my dogs followed him everywhere. Ian kept me updated on the dogs and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend!”

“Our boys loved Elise and took great care of them! One of our pups is terrified of storms and she did a great job following our care instructions and keeping him safe & calm!”

“We booked Miranda to watch our two puppos for a long weekend! She was communicative and asked questions and shared pictures, also very responsive! When we had a flight delay she was able to arrange for our dogs to be watched for a couple more hours.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! From the moment we connected, Mike was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Scout can be a bit anxious and requires extra attention, and Mike went above and beyond to make sure Scout felt comfortable, safe, and cared for. That meant the world to us. We received thoughtful updates and could tell Scout was in such good hands the entire time. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our sweet pup was being so well cared for. Mike is reliable, attentive, and truly treats your pet like their own. We would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Don’t hesitate—Mike is a gem!”

“Alex was such a great help! She was super communicative and always gave me updates without having to ask. She even cleaned and emptied the trash before leaving even though she didn’t need to. I know Rufus was well taken care of and will definitely use her again :)”

I am very conscientious and trustworthy and have many references- I love the dogs first and foremost and will take loving care of them and would treat them as you would yourself. I'm a member of City Bark and used to being surrounded by all breeds, sizes and temperaments! I'm meticulous and will care for your home as much as your beloved pet.
“Cole did a great job pet sitting for our two pups. One is very high energy, which was no trouble for Cole. The other is diabetic and needs insulin. Cole didn't have previous injection experience but was willing to learn and up to the task. We came home to two happy and healthy dogs and would definitely use Cole again.”

Daphne was wonderful with Estes. We are from out of town and she was super flexible so we could go and enjoy our time in NOLA! Daphne was prompt, communicative and did just as we asked. We are looking forward to our next trip back to the city. Knowing our dog was taken care of made our visit even more enjoyable when we are out and about. I’d recommend her to anybody!
