“Lisa is a fantastic and ideal pet sitter! She house sat my dog for 3 nights and 4 days. Lisa was great about sending me updates and pictures and gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. I was very lucky to find her last minute. She was very polite, punctual, trustworthy, and sweet... everything you would want in a pet sitter! I know she gave my dog lots of love while I was away! I would absolutely ask Lisa to take care of my dog again and definitely plan to do so next time I need to!”


“Jaimy was great! Our 3 dogs ( who aren’t very used to new people) loved him! He kept to their routines, even used the silly language words we do haha! Our 2 male dogs don’t get along and Jaimy kept them all safe while also giving them all the attention they needed. He also kept our home cleaner than we left it! We would use him again. Highly recommend”


“So happy we were able to book Ava! We were gone all week for our wedding and didn’t want to stress Melody out by a long trip or boarding all week. Melody took to Ava right away and seemed very happy with her new friend! Ava was super respectful of our home and made sure we got updates throughout the week so we didn’t have to worry. I feel like Melody was well taken care of and loved. Ava even gave her a bath before we came back which was so nice. We’re absolutely going to use Ava in the future!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. Whether it be training and riding horses, feeding chickens, to raising puppies and kittens! My love for animals is my drive! I have experience with taking care of my past precious dog Mia, who had diabetes, and giving her insulin shots nightly. So if your fur baby has any specific needs or accommodations needed, just let me know and I’ll try my best to accommodate! I currently have a pretty flexible schedule, so unless I am out of town, or just not available, I can house sit, walk, and just overall provide for your bestfriend in the best ways!! I don’t believe in a punitive approach, but more of trying to help my pets to understand what Is necessary. Wether it be potty training, to manners with guest. My dog’s happiness and comfort is my top priority, and to me, your dog’s happiness and comfort is just as important

Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits.

I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.

“Amazing! I have never been happier with an in-home sitter. Great with my Dexter! I almost thought he was going to leave with her instead of staying at home. The stay ended up being longer than planned and a Belgian puppy was added to the mix. She had no issues with either modification to booking. Great with both dogs. Very responsive with communication and respectful of personal boundaries. Highly recommend and will be using again!”


“Bre was an all around delight for our dog, and cared for her like she was her own. She was consistent with updates complete with photos and very flexible and composed during spontaneous circumstances that came up. We are beyond grateful”


“Hannah was great. We had an extended trip that changed near the last minute, not only was she flexible and worked with us to adjust but I think our boy dog fell in love with her, he was a mess for a while after she left. Will definitely look to work with Hannah again in the future.”
