4. Rusty K.

“Rusty has been great with my dog, Kota! Since Kota can be nervous around new people, we scheduled a meet-and-greet prior to any visits. Rusty took the time to get to know his quirks, and allowed for a slow introduction. He has been very reliable and flexible, and always provides detailed updates. I highly recommended booking with Rusty!”

8. Lexie M.
About: Hi there! My name is Lexie, i am 24 years old and I am well experienced with dogs specifically because I used to be a dog groomer! Pets in general have always been a loving passion of mine and i love making them pretty, safe, and loved. I specifically love petsitting, making sure they’re cared for and safe all while having fun with them. I myself own two bulldogs as well as a bearded dragon, therefore im familar and experienced with all different types of animals. No scales or different types of pets would scare me. While i am a server at a local restaurant, i still have plently of availability to tend to your pet! With having Sundays and Mondays off, and only working in the evenings on most other nights makes it really easy to be around the majority of the time sith your beloved pet. Fridays & Saturdays my hours range from 11-7 at my restaurant job. I intend on coming to you and your home for your pet so they are in a familar space and hopefully will leave less anxious feelings. My goal is for us to always be safe and comfortable while still having a blast. Daily walks and one on one time with the pets are extremely important to me as I never want a pet to feel anxious or scared while you’re away. I also keep a written planner with up to date information of everything i need to know about the animals as well as scheduled feedings, medicines, appointments, etc.

10. Kassidy D.


“Kassidy took good care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. I loved all the pictures she sent and I was so happy our cats actually came out for her, since they are usually scared of strangers. I would absolutely book her again when we go out of town next time.”

“Brenna is awesome! Will be booking her to watch my 2 cats again🩷”

13. Rylee B.

“Rylee was very pleasant and quite "animal" knowledgeable. I had no qualms about leaving Grayson with her, but I hated leaving him! This was the first time I left him. I'd have Rylee back everytime! Please tip Rylee $20. And a huge thank you!”


14. Micaela H.

“Micaela was fantastic! I have a very particular rabbit who is prone to sickness and Micaela was so attentive and good to him that I can’t thank her enough. I would trust her with any animal!! She sent picture updates and was willing to check in on him above and beyond what was stipulated! Use Micaela for all your pet needs! Oh and she’s a vet tech so rest easy if your pet is prone to sickness!”

“Jessica was very good with the cats even rescued Tubb from her brothers who think her food is theirs also lol Loved getting my pictures from her visits Jessica is very caring of my csts”


16. Hannah P.
“Great pet sitter and great person in general. My family left instructions for her to follow and she had no problem doing what we asked. She was able to stay and play with the dogs as well as our cat. She frequently took them on walks when she visited. Our pets love her and I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”


17. Madison C.

“Madison was amazing with all our animals. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and everything was taken care of. She even went out of her way to get us a piece of equipment that broke.”


18. Brynn D.
“Since Brynn was little, I’ve seen her care deeply for all types of pets. In our household, our three cats and dog feel so safe and comfortable with her that they often take over her bed, leaving no room for her and it doesn’t bother her one bit. Actually, it makes her very happy. She’s incredibly responsible, always prioritizing their well-being and happiness. Brynn goes above and beyond to ensure every pet feels spoiled, loved, and truly happy. Her compassion and dedication make her an exceptional caregiver.”


19. Tanner Z.

“Tanner came to my house a few months ago while I was on vacation, all I asked was that he feed my dogs and fill their water bowls, he exceeded my expectations, with taking them on walks, taking them to the park to play, and making sure that the yard was picked up after they did their business. I was so impressed by his effort and his willingness to do more than asked. I would recommend Tanner to anyone seeking a dog sitter. ”


20. Alexia D.
“Alexia been caring for my loves since she was 15. They are always excited to see her ,and must say they loved her from the initial meet . Very dependable , full of energy to keep up with my energetic babies. Trustworthy, Wonderful young, woman.”
