I had a great experience with Carol. She took care of my four dogs while house sitting and did an excellent job managing everything. Even with multiple dogs and a few rainy days, she stayed on top of their care and made sure they were comfortable and well loved. She sent multiple updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was also clear from her messages and photos that she showed genuine affection toward my dogs, which meant a lot to me. It was clear she treated my home with respect and took her responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter.

KiAnna was fantastic. Our dogs loved her, and they were in great hands when we were away. Her experience as a vet tech was highly appreciated as the dogs are old and have medication needs that she was able to handle with no problems. Looking forward to having KiAnna back again next time we are out of town!

Maeve took the extra step to go to our vets to drop off a sample when she thought Piper had a UTI. She was correct and then went back to pick up meds. Treated Piper like her own. Piper has anxiety and I felt very comfortable leaving her in Maeve's care

Jared stayed over night with our dog Moose. He was very communicative, sent constant picture updates and was also very flexible on timing. He made sure Moose was well taken care of. We will definitely use Jared for any future needs for Moose.

Julia has watched my 11 week old puppy a couple times now and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She is very kind and knowledgeable. She keeps me updated with pictures and texts the whole time which I really appreciate. I always feel comfortable having her in my apartment to look after my little baby. I highly recommend her!!

Adrienne was absolutely amazing. I have never had someone dog sit in my home before as I was never comfortable with it, but Adrienne I could tell was a trustworthy person from the start. I have one extremely hyper puppy and a senior who barely leaves her bed, and she did an amazing job watching both. She went above and beyond what I could of asked of her, and we will most definitely use her in the future.

Jonathan is very friendly and responsive. He met the dogs ahead of time, and they took to him right away. Our three dogs are elderly, and two of them need a bit more care such as special diets and meds. This was completely fine with Jon. Upon coming back, we find our three old pups bright eyed and bushy tailed!! Very grateful to Jon for his help while we were away!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and for the last 6.5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising my own fur child, Melli Rose. She’s a black lab (my favorite breed) and is the chillest girl to ever exist. She’s great with other animals. I recently got engaged and am looking to make a bit of money on the side to help pay for the wedding along with getting to meet new pets! I work on a hybrid schedule—3 days remote, 2 days in the office. When I’m remote, I take my dog on multiple walks a day and would love to have yours join! I firmly believe pets are royalty and deserve to be treated as such. Nothing I do could ever repay them for their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love, but I’ll spend the rest of my repaying them with my love and affection.

Immediately after meeting Hector, we knew he'd be a great fit. Both dogs loved him, even the one who can be a bit particular and moody. He gave regular updates with great pics, was happy to reinforce training and commands we use, and it was everything we could have asked for. As a bonus he has a ton of experience with dogs as he runs a local dog kennel! Highly recommend and will be booking Hector in the future.

Mary pays lots of attention to our dog. Stewie is usually anxious when we've been away but the time and attention that Mary gives to her while she cares for her makes all the differnece. Mary also takes good care of our home while we are away!

Jess was very caring and enjoyed being with Lark. She did what was asked of her and that we were very appreciative of. Our pup can be a little stubborn, so we're always thankful for other people's patience with him. I can tell she really cares for animals in general.

This was our first time having April stay over and look after our dog and two cats. April's communication skills are incredible. She texted before to confirm, during to give updates, and after to let us know the animals were all set. Just enough communication to let us know our animals were doing well during our time away. She kept our home in great condition and locked up when she left. I know our animals look forward to having April take care of them again!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 10 years old, and I learned early on that pets are truly part of the family. Growing up, my mom regularly opened our home for dog sitting, and I’ve been helping care for pets alongside her for over five years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own pets. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m open and flexible with making time for the animals I care for. I currently work part time, which gives me availability to schedule walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and quality time with pets throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and not alone while their owners are away. I care for every pet like they’re part of the family because that’s how I’ve always treated my own dogs. My pets are truly my babies, and I love spending time with them, whether that’s playing, relaxing together, or just keeping them company. Now that my dogs are seniors, they enjoy lounging in the sun, relaxing around the house, and spending time with their people and companions. When dogs stay in our home for boarding, we treat them like they’re our own pets. They get lots of attention, love, companionship, walks, and time to relax and feel comfortable. They spend time with our dogs, lounge around together, and are never made to feel alone. We create a calm, loving environment where pets can feel safe and at home — many even sleep on our beds because we want them to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life. I currently live with three cats and one bunny. I have also had dogs throughout my life. So I welcome everyone! I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare. So, I will be available weekends and some weekdays! And of course I always try to keep my schedule updated! I understand how frightening it could be for your pet to see a new person coming to your home. I can assure you, I will give them time to adjust and sniff. Then of course I can give them love!
