“Katlyn is truly amazing. She helped watch our dogs during our wedding weekend- I was extremely stressed but Katlyn was calm and collected and immediately put me at ease . Even though it was her first time meeting the dogs, she jumped right in and helped. She was reliable, timely, and followed all our notes about the dogs. She was even kind enough to bring our dog to our wedding first look!!!! We cannot overstate how meaningful that was to us, it made our wedding day perfect and Katlyn was apart of that! Thank you again Katlyn!!”
“Stefan always does a great job with our dog! He sends us lots of pictures and she always looks so happy to be with him, which puts us at ease when we are away”
“Bethany was wonderful with our dog, Raya!! She took time to learn and understand Raya's routine and special needs and followed all our directions perfectly. Raya loved her right away and snuggled with her while we were gone. Bethany also sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away, which made me so relieved to know Raya was in good hands. Thank you so much Bethany!!!”
“Kyle was absolutely excellent! He stayed with our 9 month old bernadoodle for the weekend at our place and he made sure to update us with pictures every chance he got. He spent so much time playing with our pup and taking great care of him. He was also incredibly respectful of our place and was very responsive. We will definitely be using Kyle again!”
“Amanda did a fantastic job watching our dog for 2 weeks(!) while we were out of the country. She shared constant updates and photos and we knew Layla was being not only cared for but loved on during our trip. It was such a nice thing to not worry about her well-being when we were so far away, and to know that if we did have a question or concern we would be answered promptly. Thank you Amanda!”
“We had the best experience with Darby! He stayed at our house for 5 nights with our dog and cat while we were away at a wedding. He was both self-sufficient and communicative, sending photo and video updates our way each day. We came home to a perfectly clean house and our animals were well taken care of and happy. This was the longest we have ever left our dog with someone that wasn't family or close friends and felt so good about the entire experience. I will absolutely use him again in the future!”
“Shane was great with my pup! Followed all the instructions and was communicative through put his dog sitting. Would highly recommend his services!”
“If you’re looking for a dog sitter for the weekend Ella is the best. She gave up part of her weekend so our family could go to our son’s 40th birthday party I knew Lily and Harry were in good hands. Ella took Harry for a Lon walk, while Lily was snoozing on the couch. Ella played with Harry out in the yard while Lily watched. I don’t have to worry about my dogs when I’m out because I know Ella is there for them.”
“Dan was extremely responsive and trustworthy during this whole stay. Sending me updates about the dogs and spending a ton of time with them as well. Definitely will be using him again in the future!”
“Hope went above and beyond. My cat is a very needy and clingy boy, and she provided the love and attention he requires! She was super kind, sent me constant updates, left my house spotless, and most importantly, became instant BFFs with my little guy! Do yourself a favor and get Hope to pet sit for you. I won’t trust anyone else other than her from now on! THANK YOU!”
“Nadine was a total pro. Gave me updates on my doggo while she was sitting and cleaned up a trash mess bc yours truly forgot to put the bag in the bin outside before they left. Would def recommend and will use again!”
“Diana did a great job house sitting and taking care of our 9 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. He is a high energy dog that has some seperation anxiety when we leave town and can be a little bold at times. But she did a great job handling his energy with plenty of walks and mental stimulation. We came home to a relaxed and happy dog!”
“Carol was great housesitting with my senior dog. She kept me up to date, checked in regularly, and left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely use her in the future!”
“Kathy was amazing! An angel. She stayed overnight all week during our family emergency. She sent me pics of my cats and dogs. I will deff be using her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs most of my life. Currently have two dogs (12 and 11) and am familiar with senior needs. I’ve volunteered at a number of rescues caring for dogs looking for adoption. I work from home and have flexibility for walking and house sitting needs. I can normally make myself available with short notice and am available mornings, afternoons and evenings. I’m prepared to provide your dog the care they need, making a point to understand their routines. I’ve used these services as an owner and understand the peace of mind knowing your pet is well taken care of.
“We had a last minute cancellation with our sitter, so we reached out to Emily and she agreed to watch our pets with minimal notice. She was nothing but professional the entire time. While house sitting, she provided a steady flow of updates and pictures. We highly recommend Emily!”
“Holly was great! This was my first time having someone I didn’t know watch my dog Billie and Holly made me feel very comfortable. She came over a few days before to meet Billie and go over instructions. Billie liked her right away and Holly was very comfortable with a big excited dog. Holly followed all instructions and left my apartment very clean. When I came home Billie was calm and happy and it was clear she’d had a nice time :) I will definitely book Holly again in the future!”
“Claudia was wonderful with my large anxious dog. Gave her her medication and worked with her picky eating habits. Even tried new things to get her to eat that my dog loves! ♥️♥️”
About: I am a dog mom to a Bernese Mountain dog who would love to pass the time with your pup! If you choose to keep your dog with me for daycare or boarding, my puppy will be at my home as well but can be kept separate as needed. I previously owned a miniature dachshund named Zoey and a Brittany Spaniel named Buster, so I am comfortable with a variety of dog sizes and energy levels. I look forward to working with you and your fur baby! On the days I am available, I work from home. I am happy to accommodate a variety of needs. The majority of my day is spent working with my own puppy on obedience training so pet care is the bulk of my routine! I take a calm and consistent approach to caring for my own pet and would do the same for you. I live in a row home and can only take dogs who do not bark excessively or struggle with separation anxiety. My goal is to provide seamless care while you are away so that your pet feels at ease and reassured.
“You step through the door with a whispering grace, A gentle smile, a warm embrace. Soft paws dance at the sound of your feet, A love so quiet, yet pure and sweet. By moonlight or sun, through purrs and sighs, You soothe their hearts with tender ties. A careful touch, a voice so low, A world of trust begins to grow. And though you leave when duty ends, In feline hearts, you’re more than a friend. For love lingers where kindness stays, A cat sitter’s warmth in golden rays”

“I can’t recommend Steve enough!! He’s been walking my dog, Chloe, for years , and I’ve seen such a positive difference. Chloe is always excited to see him and it’s clear that Steve truly cares about the well-being of my pet. He’s reliable, professional, and always send me updates after each walk, which gives me peace of mind. I’ve noticed my dog is much calmer and happier the days she’s with Steve and I feel so confident knowing she’s in such good hands. Highly recommend to any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”

“Rachel is a really amazing pet owner. The amount of care and effort she puts into taking care of Mazzi, her dog, is beyond compare. I have also witnessed her dog sit other people’s pets sometimes even for 3 days and she always put in similar effort with the other dogs as she does with her own. There have been times when dogs she took care of when the parents were out of town recognized her apartment and sat in front for a while before they moved on. This is testament to her amazing relationship with dogs and by extension, other pets and, I strongly believe she will be a great dog sitter in your program.”
