“Beatriz did a wonderful job taking care of my boy. She had her hands full with him not feeling well. She responded quickly to all my check ins and kept me updated. I'm so happy I found someone that is willing to come stay in my home and care for him. Will be using her again. Thank you!”
“Maddie was just what our family needed. She is responsible and a good communicator- our two Goldens really felt relaxed around her and she gave them really good care. Maddie even got our one storm-phobic dog through two Thunderstorms and they had all their needs met. We felt completely at ease being out of town and leaving Maddie in charge.”

“Victoria watched our pups and house while we were away for the weekend. Lucy and Arlo loved her quickly at the meet and greet. Very easy to work with and she did a great job with them!! Definitely would book again.”
“Diane was so kind and wonderful with our senior dog. She made such an effort to get to know us and our dog’s needs. She communicated clearly throughout her short stay. We can’t wait to book her again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Brian! He stayed at our home for a full week while we were away and took amazing care of our two pets — our cat, who requires daily medication, and our older French bulldog. Both animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when we returned.”

About: I have over 12 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, including raising three of my own. I’m familiar with daily routines such as feeding, exercise, and overall care. What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail. I treat every dog with care and respect, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after as my own. I also make sure they get my full attention to give them a positive and caring experience. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also available most days of the week and can adjust my time as needed to meet each pet’s routine and needs. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow any instructions from the owner closely and keep an eye on their feeding, walks, and overall care. I treat every pet like my own so they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I've spent my whole life with animals, from dogs and cat, to reptiles and rodents. I love them all. I've cared for a number of friends and families fur babies over the years. I am a reliable caregiver who treats every pet like my own. Whether your pup loves long adventures or slow sniff-filled strolls, I make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I've cared for senior dogs and have experience with basic medication administration. I work in a school, so I have my summer wide open to care for your pets while you're away! I can be extremely flexible as long as I have advanced notice of your needs! When with your pets, I will treat them as my own and make sure all of their needs are met. I will make sure to respect your home and leave it in the same or better condition as when you left!
“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of Hazel and my two cats. She sent lots of pictures and daily updates, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my pets. Thank you!!”

“We had someone cancel at the last minute and Melissa saved the day!! She was very professional and prompt with replying. She sent lots of photos which put us at ease. My normally very standoffish cat snuggled with her. Definitely looking to hire her again!!”

“Dorota and Olivia did a fantastic job taking care of our little guy! They stayed over at our house and made sure our dog was well taken care of. They communicated promptly and sent lots of pictures during the stay. We can’t wait to book again!”

“Joanna was great! She sent photos throughout the stay and made sure our babies were taken care of! Gave us peace of mind to know the fur kids had someone around while we were out of town. They love a cuddle and Joanna obliged! :)”

“Ida is the best dog sitter ever! She is attentive to my two dogs and is genuinely interested in their well-being. She sends lots of pictures, is great about walks and play time, and overall does a fantastic job. Unlike other sitters I've had, she leaves my home spotless and is willing to take care of a few other chores, like watering the flowers when the temps outside hit triple digits. When I'm away, I know my dogs are happy and well cared for with Ida. Thank you!”

“Loved the duo teamwork. Took good care of my pooches and my home. My dogs immediately took to them upon meeting them. Also, I think they left my home cleaner when they left! Bonus! Would definitely use their services again. 🌼🐩”

“Bethany was amazing with our dogs. She has a great personality and really loves dogs. She spent 4 days at my house. She gave me regular updates and lots of pictures. It is the best experience I have had leaving my dogs with anyone. She was really great.”


“She was amazing! She came super last minute and spent a lot of time with my dog. I had a bad experience right before her and she took the extra time to be with him and got him to eat. I would totally recommend her and use her again. Thank you!”

About: I am very easy going I love cuddling walking and playing with the animals I am constantly petting and grooming and love giving them treats when deserved Its company, its takes away stress, fun, and loving. It's like having another family member in our household. The animal is like a human and is very enjoyable. I am a very honest, friendly, person. It takes a lot for me to get upset. I would take care of the animal like it was my own child.

Catherine took great care of our persnickety pets, including our elderly dog and feisty cat. She was a very kind and conscientious houseguest as well which is much appreciated! So grateful to have someone we can trust to care for our babies so well when we travel!

Meghan stayed with our two dogs and hamster in our home for a week and we would 100% work with her again. Meghan was communicative, responsive, and made sure to send us regular pics of our pets while we were gone. We also appreciated how well she handled our pup that’s afraid of thunderstorms as several rolled through while we were out of town.
