“Jill was absolutely fantastic — reliable, caring, and so sweet with our pups. They adored her, and it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We were so impressed, we’ve already booked her for the rest of the year!”


“So, relying on folks we knew as reliable dog/house sitters hasn’t worked out well for us. So I thought “I’ll use a service.” Perhaps paying folks I don’t know - and who will rely on my review of their service as a means to obtain more business - and truly treating this as a business transaction, would be a better route than assuming all of my friends love my babies as much as I do. I chose Tracy solely based upon his large number of positive reviews. Tracy was all business, and I appreciated it. As a first time customer he made time to stop by and meet me and the pups and let me show him around the house. We agreed upon the time he would spend here, and that he would take my puppy back to his house for the night. And what we agreed upon is exactly what happened. I got regular updates and he humored me through my constant texts. I never waited longer than a few minutes to get a reply from him. It was equally refreshing to come home after being gone all night and have it seem as though nobody had been in my house, and to have the dogs happy, calm and content. Thank you Tracy!”


“Lisa was wonderful! She came to do a meet and greet and Poppy was instantly drawn to her. She sent updates and kept me informed and I felt very comfortable having her there to watch Poppy while we were away. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Lisa!!”


“Bree has spent the last week watching our 9 month old puppy. She suggested doing scent games to keep him occupied and mentally stimulated as well as other basic training he is still working on. She sent lots of photos and always kept us in the loop!”


“Stephanie was great to work with! Always gave plenty of updates throughout the day about the dogs and sent pictures of them as well! This was the longest time we have left someone with our pets and I am so thankful that Stephanie was the one watching them. She treated them as her own and our house was left just as we left it! Will definitely use Stephanie again and recommend her for any services!”


“We were nervous to leave our 8 month old kitten for 10 days, but Brianna to the rescue! She mostly stayed at the house with Lucy and kept her busy. She sent lots of cute photos and videos so we knew our little girl was being well cared for. Brianna was a trooper - even staying over when she came down with bronchitis! We will definitely book Brianna again when we go away. Lucy loved her, and so do we!”


“This was our first time using Hannah's services, and we couldn't be more satisfied with her care. She did a wonderful job looking after our two Afghan hounds. She checked in regularly, and our dogs absolutely loved her, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”


About: Experienced with senior dogs, and I understand patience and gentleness they require. I’m attentive to their routine and health needs. I will treat them like family. I do not work and am available to sit for your dogs or they can come to my home. I will treat them like family. I do not have any other animals and could give my full attention to your dog. I have a peaceful environment at home and welcome the company.

“Amy has been amazing. I’ve never used Rover because I’ve been nervous about it but she was so great. Completely open communication, sent pictures of the pups and kept me updated. 100% recommend her to anyone.”


“Samantha has stayed at our house with our German Shepard a few times now and I could not be more pleased. She is reliable, sends pics with updates and we will definitely want her to stay again in the future.”


“Brandi and Lu were excellent dog sitters. Our dogs fell in love with them immediately and I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. We needed help with a sitter for a long trip last minute and they were so accommodating. Not only were they over communicative and followed all the instructions for our special girls, they were lovely house guests. They went above and beyond, and even brushed my fluffy dog. But most of all, my girls were happy. Will definitely be having them again! 🙏🏻🙏🏻”


“Lilli took amazing care of my senior cat. She kept me updated and sent pictures. He was very relaxed when I got home because he got so much love. She also left my apartment spotless which was greatly appreciated.”


“Franki was fantastic! She took such great care of our pups and home—we felt totally at ease while we were away. Can’t wait to book her again for future trips. Highly recommend! 😊”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Alexa was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My pup came back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. I also appreciated the regular updates and photos—she gave me total peace of mind. I’ll absolutely be booking again. Thank you for treating my dog like one of your own!”


“Hannah was great! Both my dog and cat are typically very nervous of new people, but they warmed up to Hannah very fast! She sent great updates and tons of pictures which I really appreciated. I will definitely book with her next time I go away!”
