“Heather is very reliable, and always makes sure our pets are well taken care of. You can tell they look forward to seeing her, and she’s even been able to befriend our most shy pets.”
“Hannah is hands down the best pet sitter! She dropped in on my fur babies for an extended period of time. She’s trustworthy, dependable, sent daily pictures, and I will definitely be booking again! My fur babies love her!”
“Alexis did a great job taking care of Bear, I received photos and feedback from every visit and she cleaned up any debris around his area. I returned to a clean environment, it was kept as if I had been home and not left. Bear really enjoyed her visits, she cared for him as though he was her personal pet. If she is available, I would book her again for house visits for my Bear.”
“Kelsey is the best Dog Sitter in the world! She goes above and beyond in her care for my Blue. He loves her! I have a peace of mind when she is taking care of him! Thank you so much for all you do Kelsey!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I worked with animals of different temperaments and learned the importance of patience and attentive care. I am a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or keeping your pet company. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to following your pet's routine! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I understand that every pet is different and will provide patient, attentive care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have taken care of animals on and off personally and for others since I was 15. I love animals and would love to help out others who need someone to trust! I am currently not working, so I am available at all hours! I can do live in or check ins, and just love spending time with animals. I have a fenced yard but some roommates, so taking care of animals at my home is not realistic, as well as against my lease.
About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I helped care for a small family dog for about 3 years, assisting with feeding, daily care, and attention. I also independently cared for my own cat for several months, managing feeding, cleaning, and overall care. Pet care has been part of my daily routine. I would come home during lunch breaks to check on and care for my pet, and after work I handled feeding, cleaning, and attention. I’m also generally free on weekends for consistent pet care and supervision. I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following any instructions provided by the owner. I focus on keeping pets supervised, maintaining their routines, providing attention and care, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times.
“I cannot praise Alyssa enough! There are no words to express my overwhelming gratitude for the level of care that Mia received. I was in CA and got a call from my fiancé that Mia was not eating and having frequent accidents. Alyssa brought Mia chicken, broth and her favorite treats to try and encourage her to eat ...thinking it was emotional due to my absence. But then she was getting worse and Alyssa took Mia to the vet and stayed on the phone with me until I could speak with the Vet staff because my fiancé could not leave work. She even made sure to be on call in case we needed her to pick up Mia if I couldn't get back to TX on time. Mia had emergency surgery and is doing great! Alyssa made sure that Mia and I had everything we needed during this scary situation. Thank you Alyssa!!!”
“Jordan is the BEST doggo sitter! We exchanged information via email, and she made (is still making) it happen for our sweet girl who would otherwise have a very long day in her crate. Jordan is quick to respond, takes her care-giving seriously, and treats our space with respect. I'd say everyone should hire her, but if they did, I would have to elbow our way back into her schedule.”
“Chasidee is a great cat sitter! She is dependable and went above and beyond our expectations. Our cats loved her visits, getting love from her, and all the nice treats she gave. We will definitely be using Chasidee again and recommend her highly.”
About: Leave your pets with someone that cares! Our family of four love all animals. I have had several animals in my family growing up. I have a strong understanding for pets and their behavior because of raising them when I was young. I will take them at any age and I am very flexible with the schedule. I have a medium size backyard and two parks to take walks right beside me. I will be your pet’s favorite sitter. I have a flexible job and kids that love to play with pets. If you are looking to have a sitter that loves pets, that would be me! I have a fenced yard and the ability to have pets sleep inside each night. I am home during the day and night time so your pet will remain safe.
About: i’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a soft spot for them. I have experience with sitting pets and even have some background interning at multiple vets so I understand the love and care pets need. I am reliable and compassionate about the care your pets are given because I would want the absolute best care for my fur babies! Currently working part time, I am available early mornings from 7–11 AM and I am also available later in the evenings after 7 PM. After the first week of May, my schedule is wide open! I will be able to do full days during the week and some weekends. I will not be able to provide services that involve bringing your animal to my home, mainly because we live on 160 acres with no backyard fencing. I also have two small dogs in the house and a cat who do not get along very well with other animals.
About: I’ve had a dog for 17 years of my life and love all animals! I have pet sit for friends and family; everything from cats, dogs, fish, and small rodents. I’ve had a senior dog before and also a puppy so I do know how to navigate those particular needs. I am an occupational therapy graduate student so I have a lot of free time throughout the day. I’m available every 2-4 hours for pet care and am able to spend time at your home if your pet needs some extra love and attention! Also, I’m available some week nights and weekends to board in your home. I have a very spoiled fur baby of my own! The safety, well-being, and happiness of your pet(s) are my top priority! I understand that leaving your beloved pet in care of someone else is a significant decision, and I aim to provide the highest quality of care possible that offers peace of mind for you!
“Thank you, Charlie! Sincerely. Our home is a handful and a half with the pets we have but he handled it professionally, was personable, thorough, and attentive. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Our two low maintenance but high attention need dogs were well taken care of and Ashlee was so helpful to grab mail/packages and keep an eye on our house in general. We will definitely use her again!”
“Kelsey gives me peace of mind that my two dogs are well cared for. She has given them their medication and has been helpful by picking up canned dog food to mix the meds in. From the photos and videos sent, Nala and Petal love Kelsey. Thank you Kelsey!”

Heather was amazing with our three feline fur babies. We had a family emergency and had to leave suddenly without knowing a return date and she was so accommodating through our emergency. I will definitely book with her again when we need someone to help with our babies.
Kaylee did an amazing job with my kitties and I don’t feel anxious about leaving them anymore so we will be able to go on a lot more trips in the future! She made sure they were fed and happy played with them a whole bunch and sent plenty of photos! I can’t recommend her enough
I'm very glad to have booked wirh Shyla. She is wonderful and kind; we did a meeting day before the services and our dog and cat loved her since they met her. We booked drop-in visits and communicating with her while we were gone was easy and pleasant. She kept us updated every day, it gave us peace of mind to know our pets where in good hands and safe. We also have a pair of parakeets and she was happy to care for them as well, that was a relief since there's not an option on this app to include small animals. I 100% recommend her. Is not easy to let strangers into your home while you are gone, I never felt worried about her being here, on the contrary, I was happy every time I would see the notification about her starting a visit to see my pets. Thank you Shyla!
Abbie was professional, reliable, and very caring towards our fur babies. She did 3 drop-ins a day for an hour each time and made sure each of our pets got TLC. She was flexible and her response time was always prompt. We will most definitely be using Abbie in the future!
