Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Emmelea! This was our first time using her for an overnight stay, and she exceeded all expectations. Her communication was top-notch; we received regular updates and so many cute pictures that showed how happy and well-cared-for our pup was. She truly treated him like her own. We feel so lucky to have found her and will 100% book with her again!

From the moment I reached out to Ashley I could sense how much she loves animals and that she was the girl I could trust to take care of my 4 month old pug puppy. My husband and I’m left town for 2 nights and 3 days and Ashley was so communicative and thoughtful while taking care of our baby. I really appreciate her and will 100p recommend her to take care of your baby. Ashley is a unique and loving girl

Loved having M at my house. My dogs were calm and relaxed when I got home and they had water (pet peeve coming home to no water) and they had taken care of everything the way I asked while I was gone for several days. Would 100% hire them again. My dogs are picky about who they like sometimes too.

About: I have years of experience providing reliable and passionate pet care for all ages and sizes. I am also experienced in puppy training, senior care, and providing medication if needed. I take the utmost care to ensure that your pup's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I work from home so I am flexible in that regard. I can take my work around any space if needed and work around your schedule. I clean up after pets thoroughly as well as provide them with lots of potty breaks and exercise. I never have them meet new dogs for their safety.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and ages for several years. Most recently, I provided long term care for an elderly dog with high anxiety. She required extra patience and special care— two things that I would be able to provide your animal as well! I am available before or after work on weekdays for drop-in visits or walks. I am available full-time on weekends for the same two services. I offer updates to pet owners after every drop-in visit or walk. I prioritize safety and wellness with constant supervision and being mindful of my surroundings.

About: I provide reliable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and focused on creating a safe and comfortable environment where pets feel at home. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, routines, and temperaments, including puppies and senior dogs. I can follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide regular walks, playtime, and companionship. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to every pet. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos to ensure peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and make sure each pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they need while staying with me. I’m available during weekdays and weekends, and I can adapt to different feeding, walking, and sleeping routines to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for at all times. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines to keep pets comfortable and maintain consistency. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, regular exercise, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. I create a safe space where they can rest, play, and feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they are away.

About: Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I’m 29 years old. I’ve always been an animal lover, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’d love to spend some quality time with your furry friends sometime this weekend, whether it’s in the mornings or the evenings. Unfortunately, I had to give up my Siberian husky when my family had to move. It’s been a tough time, and I miss the companionship of dogs dearly. I genuinely hope to find a way to make the dogs and their owners happy. I’ve also had experience watching dogs for people, and I’m quite comfortable with cats as well. My family has an outdoor cat that loves to hunt and be around people. I’ve done dog and cat sitting multiple times in my life, and I’m confident that I can provide the care and attention that these animals need. However, I need to be mindful of my living situation. I live in a house with roommates, and we’d prefer that I don’t bring an animal into the house. I understand that this might be a concern, but I assure you that I’m committed to finding a solution that works for everyone involved. I’m currently available to walk and hang out with your dog as long as you’d like. I don’t have a job but will still be looking for one. I can’t have a pet at home, but if a guest has a fence, I can let the dog out when I’m at the house.

Donai was amazing and we’ll be working with her again! Our finicky old gal, Meeka, wasn’t a fan at first (like she is with everyone, not Donai’s fault). But Donai was patient with her and let Meeka warm up to her in her own way. Donai walked her daily and followed our feeding directions and took great care of her like she was her own. By day 2 Meeka let Donai’s pet her and by day 3 there were cuddles and Meeka wouldn’t leave her side. Thank you so much!

This was my first time using Katie and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, her communication was prompt and reassuring — exactly what you need when leaving your pup with someone new. Camo clearly had a wonderful time; you could just tell he was comfortable and well cared for. What really set Katie apart was coming home to a clean house with fresh sheets — she didn’t just watch Camo, she treated my home with total respect. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and it means everything. She was reliable, punctual, and went above and beyond in every way. I will absolutely be booking Katie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust. 🐾

Brooke was so wonderful with our two dogs!!! It was such a relief to find someone to take care of both our dogs while all my family was out of town. She did great giving one dog medicine and with making food for a picky dog. Also our house was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Brooke and I will be using her again.
