“Kim agreed to take on a very challenging task - caring for a beagle who is not only terrified of people but also has epilepsy. During her first visit he had a seizure and I could not have more pleased with how she handled it. There are some people you meet and immediately know that your pets will be well cared for - Kim is that person!”
“Emily was great. This was the first time my dog had someone different staying and it went great! Ringo felt super comfortable around her and had no complaints. I received texts and pictures when she arrived, took him walking, and when he ate. We will definitely be getting Emily to stay again!”
“Alex was amazing - very professional! He was very attentive to our wishes and instructions, excellent communicator, punctual and all the things you would expect from hiring a pro. The house was left clean and he genuinely seems to care for our pets and enjoy their company. Got photos every day and followed our complicated medication schedule. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned! We HIGHLY recommend!”
“Sarah did an excellent job watching Rooney, including administering oral medication and injections. She sent lots of picture updates, which I appreciated. Highly recommend.”
About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Alyssia! She stayed overnight in our home for a week while we were on vacation in the OBX and took fantastic care of our three cats. She sent daily updates with funny photos and videos that gave us total peace of mind (and some good laughs). Alyssia also took excellent care of our home—bringing in the mail and packages, taking out the trash, and cleaning up after herself. Everything was spotless when we returned. Most importantly, our cats were calm, happy, and well-fed. In the past, they’ve seemed stressed or even lost weight while we were away, but not this time. They warmed up to her quickly! We’ve already rebooked her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you, Alyssia!”
“Great sitter. Cared for our house and dog very well and followed instructions as requested. Provided lots of pics to let us know how things were going. Will rebook again!”
“Kaleigh is amazing! This was the first time leaving my pup and Kaleigh made me feel at ease with consistent communication and updates. She took the time to learn my dog’s personality and routine so she could be as comfortable as possible. I’d definitely recommend Kaleigh!”

About: I’m an active person that knows how to take care of animals. I have an Belgian Malinois that is super active and know how to interact with high maintenance dogs. I work from home 4 out of 5 days. Have plenty of free time to do drop ins or animal sit for the day or night. Currently I don’t have animals stay at my house but willing to go to your house for drop ins or pet sitting for any day of the week.

Julia was fantastic! Mogs and Amy were so comfortable with her. I think they are actually still looking for her ☺️ I am so glad she was available and understood the dogs story. I would highly recommend Julia and hope I can book her services again in the future.
Kim went above and beyond in watching our dog while we were away. Her care and communication were excellent, and we enjoyed the pictures and text updates that she sent. Our house was also spotless when we arrived back, and our dog was happy and healthy. Kim even left some sweet surprises for us when we returned, and took the time to meet our dog twice before watching her for the first time. We would recommend Kim for petsitting to anyone, including our family and friends. She is a special person!
Joy was amazing!! She stayed with our dog for 7 days. Our dog can be a lot to handle and she did it perfectly. I received an update and cute photo each day. She was very tidy, organized, and most of all- trustworthy! The list of compliments to give her is endless. Forrest is a very active dog with some anxiety. He usually doesn’t do well on a leash, but Joy was able to walk him with some slack on the leash. That’s a huge milestone for our dog. I know he loved every minute of it. While Forrest was very excited to see me, he kept checking to see if Joy was coming back. He definitely misses her. Joy will always be the first person I reach out to when we need someone to take care of Forrest!
Emily did such an amazing job! She sent updates and photos of our pups and we could tell they loved her. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend trusting Emily to take care of your fur babies!
All I can say is WOW! Allie and Nicholas went above and beyond for my two frenchies! One being a 7 month old who is a wild child and got stung by a wasp and Allie quickly took her up to the vet after she noticed symptoms of an allergic reaction. I was incredibly thankful for her paying such close attention to my babies. I have to say I have found my pet sitter from here on out! They are so nice and very meticulous on doing everything exactly the way you want them to! If you use them as your sitter you will not regret it! My mind was completely at ease while I was away. 🥰
Jordon was fantastic—highly responsive and an excellent communicator. She kept us updated regularly with photos and notes about our puppy’s activities, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief to know our puppy was in such good hands and having a great time. The entire experience was completely stress-free. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Jordon again!
Megan took amazing care of our dog while we went on a last-minute weekend trip! She is so attentive and patient with our very sweet yet stubborn English bulldog, and we really appreciated how she communicated with us throughout our time away to keep us updated. We will definitely keep her in mind for future needs!
Liesel did an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs and my home! She was extremely communicative and loved on my boys, making them feel comforted and happy while I was away. She gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend!
Katie was a wonderful dog sitter! She was great at communicating and shared updates throughout the week, which made me feel confident that my dog was in the perfect hands. My pup was in such great spirits when I got home which was great too. I know Katie had such a big impact on making sure he was comfortable in my absence and had plenty of love. Would absolutely recommend to others needing a reliable and kind sitter!
We had the pleasure of having Blake care for our cat and dog. We couldn't be more satisfied with her service. She was incredibly patient with our nervous dog and showed genuine kindness and patience with both our cat and dog. Blake was reliable and showed up for bathroom breaks and she fed and took care of our pets with great affection and care. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and dedicated pet sitter.
