“Chelsy was very communicative, was able to accommodate a extra night last minute and I had no worries while I was gone. I have 3 dogs, ages 7-14, with varying health issues and meds, Chelsy took care that all my instructions were followed. She had a extra challenge with it being NYE and one of my boys being terrified of loud noises (fireworks, storms, etc). Highly recommend and will use again!!!”
“Melanie did a great job! She watched our puppy and house for a whole week! She kept our new puppy on his demanding schedule and gave us updates every day. We are very thankful for her help.”

“David & Lauren were great! The house sat for 5 nights and took great care of my two kitties. They were very responsive, sent photos/ videos, and even washed the bedding before they left! The next time I need a sitter they will be my first choice, I would recommend them to anyone.”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages—from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m also reliable, clean, and always make communication a priority. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits into my daily routine, because of that fact that i have a cat of my own right now. I have had numerous amounts of cats and dogs all my life, so i’ve never been without having to care for an animal everyday of my life. I treat every pet like family, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I stick closely to their routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they get the attention and care they deserve. My space is pet-safe and cozy, and when I’m in your home, I always respect it like it’s my own. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“We were so pleased with Samantha. She house/dog sat for us this past weekend. She communicated with us all weekend about Duke and Lady which we rate very highly. We have older labs and one has to have medication twice a day. They eat twice a day and go to bed around a certain time. She handled all of this really well. We will hire her in the future.”

“10 out of 10!!! She was absolutely amazing with our dog Kevin:) She stayed at the house and watched him for a week!!! She sent us updates and pictures and was great at communicating!!! Would highly recommend trusting her with your pets and I’m so thankful for Jamyriah!!💕”

“Sierra did a great job. She did leave the cat poop in a grocery bag for a few days so when we came in the house didnt smell great. Otherwise she kept me in the loop every day, took pictures & sent & kept the house clean. I will most definitely use her again.”

“Freddie was very sweet and open to all my communications about my dogs' various quirks and personality traits. When my dog injured himself the night before her stay, she took all of his care instructions in stride. When I arrived home, both dogs were just as happy and healthy as ever.”

About: my ability to provide personalized care for each pet, including experience with puppies and supporting senior pets with gentle handling and extra attention, all while maintaining a safe, loving, and stress free environment. i am currently in school & also work but my schedule is very flexible & i am always open to work with you to accommodate with each other! I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, water, exercise, and attention, ensuring a safe and clean environment, and monitoring their health and well-being whether in my home or the client’s home.
“Emily was great. Last minute change and she was able to fit us in. Cats loved her and she played with both while she was there. Sent plenty of updates. Will use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! Friends and family have trusted me with their animals when they‘ve gone out of town many times. I’m an Instructional Coach at a school in my district, so I won’t be home during the day unless it’s weekends or when I’m on break. During the summer though I’ll be home majority of the time. My sister lives with me and she has a dog, but they’re sweet and have their own room. I take care of pets by giving them food, water, and bathroom trips as often as needed. I also make sure to have play time with them, which is my favorite! I can make sure to give them any medicine or put them on a leash when going outside if that’s what you need.
About: I have a true love for all animals and take passion in providing the best care I can. I only want the very best for my pets and you can expect nothing less of me when it comes to caring for yours. From sun up to sun down, I’m taking care of pets whether it’s yours or mine! I have a very flexible schedule in hopes of accommodating all requests. I hope to make your pet as comfortable as possible, so they don’t even notice you’re gone. I look forward to getting to know about their favorite toy or where they like to nap.

“Joan did a great job watching Rico and Acadia! She was very proactive and helpful, which was greatly appreciated. If we need a dog sitter again, we will definitely hire her!”

“Janee was a perfect pet sitter for our two dogs and gecko. She sent great pictures and videos every day. Timely, thorough and dependable! Dogs were healthy and happy even after this longer than typical trip for us. Would definitely recommend Janee!!”

About: I have worked at a part-time doggy daycare and boarding facility for over a year now, gaining tons of experience with all kinds of different pups- low energy/high energy- super outgoing/anxious and much more since every fur baby is different from the next. I have taken many animal related college courses that have helped me gain much knowledge about dogs which is just as important as the hands on experience. I also have shadowed veterinarians at animal hospital clinics that’s going towards my vet assistant certification. And last but not least I have had pups of my own, 2 great danes growing up and now my own shelter pup😊. She’s my best friend/daughter/favorite person, I take pride that I take care of every pup the same way I’d want someone taking care of mine. I’m currently working part time but I am available before 12 pm on Sunday's, after 1 pm Monday through Wednesday and completely free Thursday through Saturday. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide a clean, safe environment and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. With my hands-on experience working with dogs, animal care education, and veterinary shadowing experience, I am prepared to provide attentive and responsible care for pets of all ages. I have an extremely pet friendly female dog that can keep your pup entertained if needed. If not no worries, she is kennel trained and does doggie daycare at my job.
“David was our first house sitter and he did a great job walking with us through getting started. He was thorough in preparing for the sit, asking us questions and listening to answers, and thinking of things we didn’t. He communicated well throughout the sit. After the sit, our pets were calm and relaxed. It made a huge difference being able to leave them in their own environment with someone who really cared about them. We will definitely call on David again!”
