“Gunnar was super responsive to specific pet care requests and willing to accommodate our girls. He sent us updates and continued to work on training that we were working on so our puppy wouldn’t regress too much. Will definitely be using Gunnar in the future.”


“Yvette was amazing! After 9 days we came home to Jasper who was happy and healthy. Not only did she take fabulous care of our precious boy, she left our house just as we had left it, spotless! Yvette was so kind and crocheted both my husband and I a pair of booties ❤️ thank you so much Yvette for making it possible for us to take a much needed vacation!”


“Virginia did a great job watching our dog while we were gone. She left cute Polaroids of Hazel and the house was spotless when we got back home. We would defiantly use her again:)”


“Dakota and his fiancée are amazing at taking care of our pets and home. They are so trustworthy and always say when they are going to be there. Our home is well taken care of too where you don’t feel like you have to clean your home when you get back from vacation. But most of all it’s the feeling of ease that I get when I’m on vacation and I don’t have to worry about my fur babies. I am a repeat booker with Dakota and will continue to do so.”


“Elyse was prompt showing up to take care of my dogs. She sent me photos and let me know everyone was OK. I felt very comfortable having her there.”


“Love having Mayra take care of my fur babies. I don’t have to worry while I’m gone. I know they are being well taken care of. I also enjoy the pics of my babies that she sends while I’m gone. 💕”

“Marcie did great with our dogs. They looked happy in pictures.”


“Kaylee was great while housesitting our two dogs and two cats. She was very responsive anytime I messaged her and sent picture updates of the animals. She also administered medicine while we were gone, which usually isn’t required for our pets. The house was spotless when we got back and she had even vacuumed!”


“Sitlali was great! She took our pups for plenty of walks and sent us lots of pictures. And when one of our dogs got her first bee sting and was acting abnormal, Sitlali spent the whole day staying with her and monitoring her to make sure that she was alright. We were very appreciative of the excellent care she took of our 2 dogs.”


About: I used to dog walk the neighborhood pets from the age of 8. I became use to the animals needs and wants. Especially the attention factor. High energy pets are my specialty I like to really get them moving so it’s easier for them to relax at night. It’s a all around daily thing pets are just a natural daily routine to take care of them daily. It’s very easy to get along with animals just have to have the patience to try. I treat the pets weather mine or others with respect, love, kindness and joy. Makes the pets and the owners less worried about what new pet sitters will do.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of breeds as a sitter ranging from small to large, shy to extroverted, and young to old. Additionally, I have volunteered at animal shelters where I learned much about canine body language. I have personal experience caring for a senior dog with major health concerns and am comfortable with administering medicine and cleaning minor wounds. Lastly, I trained by puppy beginning at 8 weeks to be comfortable in public spaces so that she could attend work with me. Although I currently have a full time job I am available to watch or walk your fur babies Thursday night- Sunday morning. Additionally, I am able to walk dogs in the evenings (after 5pm) from Monday- Thursday. I treat each pet as if they are my own and ensure I fully understand the owners wishes prior to my arrival. Additionally, I like to keep in good communication with the owner to provide update photos is desired and ensure no additional needs arise while they are gone.

“Sofia was a great sitter! Canelo was so happy in all the photos she sent. I definitely recommend her to anyone. Will be rebooking with her soon for my next upcoming trip.”


“Emma was easy-going and handled taking care of our two energetic pups and 1 cat very well. She communicated any issues right away and asked us questions when she was unsure of something. We would recommend Emma for short or long term care of your fur babies!”


About: We have trained and taken care of dogs for over 20 years. We view them as family and literally take ours everywhere. Our favorite things to do with our pets are backpacking, foraging, and camping. We enjoy giving them exercise and the best life ever. We only accept a limited number of pets. We treat them as part of our family and give lots of individual attention. They are not kenneled, they live inside the house with us. We want them to have the best experience possible. We are very flexible with our schedule. Our two teenagers do online schooling at home. I am a stay at home mom and adventure planner. We take the best of care with our pets and others. Our dogs get regular vet checks and exercise. We offer dog walking for our clients.

“Sarah was excellent! Highly recommend! Will be using her to watch our pets again”


“Diana took care of our quirky catahoula dog like he was her own! He had so much fun with her and was just as we left him on return. She also took great care of our house. She sent lovely fun pictures of them playing and hanging out! We appreciated the updates and the prompt communication. Pets (and humans!) would be lucky to have her care for them while away. Highly recommend!”


“Our dogs are in good hands!!! When leaving your fur baby’s you worry, will they be fed, will they be walked, will they be taken care of with love? When Keyera watches your dogs the answer is YES! Keyera has watched our dogs multiple times and does a wonderful job everytime! I know our dogs can tell when we are about to go on a trip and are definitely less sad because they know their sitter! She does an exceptional job and does multiple updates! Keyera is the best sitter in the state and we highly recommend her to everyone! She is fantastic!!!”
