“Highly recommend Leigh Ann! She took great care of my 2 pups, provided pictures every day kept me updated. If there were any issues not only that tidied up my house before we returned, which I don’t think should always be expected, but 100% appreciated. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind with your precious fur babies.”
“Jamie was easy to communicate with, and just an overall nice person. Our Pitbull and Chihuahua were well cared for- we came home to happy, healthy dogs! She was kind enough to water our plants, too, and we returned to a house that was as clean as we left it. She texted pictures of them daily & we got to just have peace of mind and enjoy our trip. I would definitely call on her in the future, and I would recommend her to friends. Thank you, Jaimie!!!”
“Ellie did a wonderful job of watching our dog, Camden! She was incredibly communicative and kind and treated him just like we would have if we were there. It is clear that Ellie has a passion for animals and that her responsible nature and kind disposition will make her a staple for watching our sweet boy in the future. Ellie really did go above and beyond in caring for Camden and watching our home while we were away, she really has a way with pets, even large and very playful dogs like ours. We are so glad we've found a great option for care for future needs with Ellie.”
“Jerad did an awesome job with Samson. Followed the instructions perfectly and was a great friend to our little guy. Took him on walks and sent lots of updates. Would definitely recommend!”
“Karen took wonderful care of our dogs, Sam and Tito, for a full week while we were on vacation. She was incredibly responsive, always sending updates and photos when we asked, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She also left our home in perfect condition, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!”
About: I'm the kind of person who stops to pet every single dog I see on my walks—I simply can't resist their precious, furry faces. I've been obsessed with animals for as long as I can remember, and that love naturally led me to start pet sitting as soon as anyone would let me. Over the years, I've cared for animals belonging to friends, family, neighbors—just about anyone who asked! I truly love giving pets the care and attention they deserve, because to me, they are one of the greatest gifts in the world. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own and can't wait to spend some time with them! I'm a part-time worker, so I have plenty of time. I love getting out and taking walks, but my dog is getting old and doesn't like to walk as much, so I'm looking for more pups to give her a break and walk with. I have a fenced-in yard in a neighborhood with lots of trails to walk on. I have a very friendly and old dog at home, but she loves company. I love spending time with animals, playing fetch, petting them, and especially going on walks. I can feed and entertain the animals.
“Ava is always great with our pup Haze! He's a handful and she is a pro. She also handled a household emergency for us while we were away and we couldn't be more grateful!”
“Courtney was great! We felt very comfortable being away knowing that our pets were getting so much love and attention. We had clear and frequent communications and a plenty of pictures confirming all the good things happening. We'd (and our critters) would be very happy to see Courtney again.”
About: I grew up taking care of multiple dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, even feeding and rescuing some wild animals in my neighborhood. I’v always had a strong connection to animals and care deeply for them. I have multiple years of experience with pet sitting, ensuring pets are taken well care of. Animals have taught me so much and I just love to be around them, I think everyone deserves to know their animals are being well taken care of, safe and happy! I am an incoming graduate student at the Pratt Institute in NYC starting in August. I am taking the summer to work on my art, travel, and enjoy some downtime between working full time at a law firm and starting classes. I would love to take care of some animals over the summer for some extra income and to have some structure in an otherwise loose summer! When I take care of animals, I like to make sure they are comfortable with me being around them, ensuring they have amble time to get used to my presence. I like to take my time with this, allowing them to build confidence around a new person and so that we can form a real bond! For dogs, I like to have a variety of activities including walks, runs in the backyard if possible, playing with toys, and sometimes even hikes! But if I'm being honest, my favorite part is just hanging out and getting to cuddle with the furry creature! In my previous experiences, I have done 2-4 check in's a day as needed for non-live in clients and these visits can vary in length. I have also had live-in/over night clients.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Grew up in a house with 2+ dogs near constantly. All family dogs were 60+ lbs each with the largest being 110lbs. My 75lb dog crossed the rainbow bridge Sept 2025, I am not ready for a dog full time but I do miss the company. I will spoil your dog. I do not care about breed. I am looking for weekends. I work full time, so I am ready to go around noon on Friday and depending on the needs can be around all weekend. Generally I do leave the house during the weekend for a couple hours during the day to do chores and stuff but other than that can be a total home body. If the dog is good on leash I have a great neighborhood to take walks. If you are looking for me to stay at your house over the weekend, I can provide as much potty coverage as you request. If you want me to stay over the week, I do have a day job with my schedule being 7-3. I have a 8ft privacy fence the whole way around my backyard with a dog door. I do not have a crate, but I can use yours if you want your dog crated. I follow your food rules. I used to make hot breakfast/dinner for my dog. I do keep some dog treats in the house but I will check with you if your dog can have that specific treat first and if there are any dietary needs. If you want me to stay in your house, lets write the rules down and I'm happy to do whatever. If you have poor cellphone service, it'd be great to get a wifi password.
About: From an early age I would take care of my dog by giving him walks and baths etc. I have dog sit for people over night at their house as well as walked other peoples dogs. Im currently a college student home for the summer and am working part time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I’m available for dog walking and pet sitting throughout the week. I like to give dogs lots of long walks to get their energy out. Also, I like playing with them and snuggling with them. :)
“Olivia is amazing! She took the best care of my girl and my house during the stay. Its always the best feeling when you can enjoy your trip because of the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is being loved and cared for!”
“Samantha was wonderful with my 2 elderly and high maintenance dogs. She sent pictures and checked in just enough while my family was away for a week. We came home to happy dogs and the house looks like we just left it. We look forward to using her again in the future!”

I just took a quick long weekend and Makayla made it so seamless for me. Cooper felt so loved in his own environment with her and the updates and pictures allowed me to enjoy my time. Makayla is fantastic, I almost don’t want to share how good she is because she will get to busy!!
Julia was amazing with Barker! She was really quick to respond to our request, she communicated clearly and was very punctual. She sent updates regularly during her stay in our home which gave me so much peace of mind, she took care of Barker following all our detailed instructions and we came back to a very happy pup. I’ll definitely work with her again!
5 stars! We are are new dog pawrents to a rescue pup. He’s a Pyr mix and is pushing 60 lbs and still growing! He has some separation issues and we feel more comfortable leaving him with someone while we are gone. Henriette was great and we will absolutely use her again. We chatted a few days prior to the appointment so that we were all on the same page. She is very easy to communicate with. Einstein, our pup, took to her and they had a great time. She kept us informed on how he was doing and what they were up to. They went on a lot of walks (he was conked out by the time we got home!) and kept busy! We definitely recommend Henriette and will will use her in the future.
We booked with Stephen for house sitting to care for our two dogs, Tasha and Sadie, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. He kept in regular contact with us and was incredibly attentive to our pups. Being away was so much easier knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. We had complete peace of mind the entire time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Stephen again whenever we can!
Kevin, who provided house sitting services for a little over a week, was accommodating when I requested an in-person meet and greet before finalizing the booking. My dog responded positively to Kevin. He maintained constant communication throughout the service and responded promptly. When I returned home, my dog appeared quite relaxed, which is always a positive sign of his comfort. I highly recommend Kevin and would definitely hire his services again.
Gabriella housesat our dog when we went on a vacation. She is very dedicated and attentive. she took care of our pet like she was her own. She is a natural pet-sitter who takes her job very seriously. She is very caring. She sent us pictures and updates regularly, and replied to our questions promptly. We will certainly use her services again. We highly recommend her! Also we came back to a clean house. Thank you Gabriella.
