Zach has a wonderful kind spirit. He’s great to have sitting for your dogs. Very dependable and very communicative. I trust him completely with my dogs. He checks every detail. Made my out of town trip so that I could enjoy my time away knowing my dogs were taken care of.

I think Brent took excellent care of our pup! He made sure to send constant updates and pictures to show that Bentley was having a good time.

We were very grateful to have Jennifer's help with our three pets while out of town (an adult dog, a puppy, and a cat). We appreciated her enthusiasm to be there for our pets, be a presence for our home while we were gone, and it gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was very communicative and respectful of our home, and she took good care of our animals. Thank you, Jennifer!

Some initial issues with communication and amendments to dates, but worked with Taylor to resolve the issue and everything, thankfiully, worked out.

Hailey was so awesome! She treated our puppy like she was her own, and even taught her tricks and gave her special treats. Our dog was in great spirits and better behaved when we got back from our trip than when we left. Hailey even brought in our mail, took out our garbage, and fed our fish. It was so wonderful. We would have Hailey back anytime, and I’m sure our pup would love to see her. Thank you so much, Hailey!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have never lived in a home without pets. I’ve had four dogs over the years and have cared for many different types of animals since I was a kid. Animals have always been a constant part of my life, not just something I do occasionally. Throughout my life, I’ve also continually volunteered at animal shelters and farms, which has given me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Currently, I care for a Great Pyrenees and seven cats, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, multi-pet households, and managing different routines and personalities. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own while keeping owners informed and at ease. My weekly schedule is finalized the day prior and can vary slightly, but my daily commitments are usually limited to a short portion of the day. This gives me flexibility and availability for consistent pet care. I communicate clearly once my schedule is set so routines are always maintained. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and follow all care instructions closely. I respect pets’ routines, keep spaces clean and secure, and take a gentle, patient approach—especially with cats or shy pets. I also treat clients’ homes with care and communicate clearly for peace of mind.

About: I've been pet sitting/dog walking for 6 years and I've been working in the animal industry for 9. I have worked in general and emergency medicine, as well as physical rehabilitation. I enjoy working with nervous pups who aren't sure of. I like building a safe and comfortable relationship they a can rely on. I am working part time so I can focus more on my pet sitting / dog walking business. My part time job is work from home so my hours/availability are flexible during the week. I always ensure that whatever harness/collar is being used for a walk is on correctly prior to leaving the house. I also will ask for any tips/tricks to know before going on a walk or watching your pet while you're away to ensure a happy and fun time.

Maria was amazing!!! I always have felt guilty leaving our pups, but this time it felt like our boy was on vacation as well. Maria spoiled him rotten! 💕 As a rescue, he has some fears, but she loved on him with patience and kindness, and he fell in love with her and trusts her so much. I told her she was a dog whisperer, being able to touch him in situations we normally even can’t. He’s even learning to sit now thanks to Maria! She went above and beyond doing some minor clean up grooming to make O more comfortable. And, to top it all off, I received tons of photos, videos, and updates every day—I loved this so much! I felt so comfortable and would 100% recommend Maria!

Mary was absolutely amazing! From the moment we left, she made us feel completely at peace about being away for a full week. She cared for my fur baby with so much love and attention, sending thoughtful updates and sweet photos that showed how well he was doing. You can truly tell she has a heart for animals — patient, gentle, and so attentive to every detail. Coming home to happy, relaxed dog was the best feeling. We are incredibly grateful for her care and would trust her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone who treats your pets like her own!

Raechel was great! This was my first time using the app and I was in a bit of a time crunch and this was also the first time I needed a house sitter for my animals. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so the job was large and Raechel did not blink an eye to it! Her communication is fabulous as I was sent multiple pictures each day of the crew. Even my most reclusive cat seemed to love her new sitter which totally surprised me! Overall the dogs and cats seemed to love their new friend for the week and I felt completely confident in Raechel while I was gone.

Gaby took wonderful care of my 3 cats when we were gone for 5 days. She fed them their special diets, kept their litter boxes scooped, gave them fresh water, and made sure their water fountain stayed full. She played with all the cats, especially the very active kitten. She was respectful of our home as well. Would definitely use again and would recommend to anyone who needs a responsible person to take care of their pets while they are away.

It is a great comfort to know that our Cairn Terrier (Finn) was well taken care of while we were away. I felt completely comfortable leaving Finn with Kaylee. She always goes above and beyond by sending cute pics, getting the mail, and taking the trash out. Kaylee did a wonderful job! Thank you so much!

Zach lived up to all the amazing reviews house sitting our two fur babies (Golden doodle and Aussie doodle) for the past 4 nights. We came home to an immaculately clean house with two happy boys. Zach was very detailed throughout the whole process from the initial meet n greet ensuring he knew the ins n outs of their routine, behaviors, likes/dislikes and everything in between. Zach sent multiple picture and videos with updates every day all the way up through the last day. We will absolutely be using Zach for future occasions from walks to house sittings and can’t recommend him enough.

We love Heather! If you can’t be there, she is the person you want to take care of your pets. She watched our dogs for 4 nights in our home. She embraced all of their quirks and treated them as if they were her own pets. She communicated regularly via text. She even sent some videos, and got some great pictures of our pups. We are looking forward to more trips since we’ve found a great sitter for the girls!
