“Elizabeth watched Maya for five days while we were away. Maya LOVED her time with Elizabeth. Elizabeth kept her on a walk/play/eat/sleep schedule and sent periodic pictures so we knew how everything was going. She also vacuumed and mopped before we got home, so there wasn’t dog hair everywhere. Because of Elizabeth, we got to truly enjoy some time away without having to worry about home. Thank you, Elizabeth, and I HIGHLY recommend her!”
“This is our second time having Patricia help us out with Charlie. We have huge peace of mind knowing he is well cared for while we are away. Patricia’s updates and knowledge about dogs are truly appreciated. We look forward to having Patricia help us again with Charlie”
“Maxine + Kyle are the best! I swear our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left! Great communication with us and we could tell Koda loved them too. The video she sent of Koda giving Kyle kisses and all the photo updates were so precious! We are ready to book future dates once they are back from their honeymoon!”
About: Tell your dog I said hi!!! I have taken care of pets since I was 10. My family and friends rely on me regularly to keep their homes and animals safe! I am in between jobs right now, so I have all the time to care for your loved ones and can stay at your home during the day if wanted! I unfortunately can't have pets at my apartment but dog sitting is a way to get my pet snuggles in! You'll receive cute pet pictures if you want as well! I would come to your home and meet your pets first and familiarize their routine with you before you leave. Very open with communication for your needs.
“Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!”

“Teri was the best we could hope for to care for our dogs while we celebrated our anniversary. Being away from home, you want someone who they take to right away and will go the extra mile to make sure they’re well cared for.”
“We had a great experience with Hailly as our pet sitter! It was our first time leaving our dog alone since we relocated to the area so we were nervous about leaving her in a new home with a new sitter. Hailly kept us updated and sent lots of pics and Zsa Zsa did great. We would definitely hire Hailly again.”
