“Oliver did a fantastic job! Our 9-month-old golden retriever Cub can be a handful, but Oliver made sure our energetic pup got lots of exercise and we came home to a happy (tired!) pup and a spotless house. He was communicative and I felt very reassured knowing he was here to keep an eye on the house as well as Cubby. Would definitely book again!”


“Jessica did an excellent job caring for our Kirby! We will definitely rebook! Kirby seemed so comfortable and happy when we returned from our trip.”


“Highly recommend! Torrey is punctual, friendly, communicates timely and updates. Definitely plan to have her back again. The pups were all kinds of happy.”


“Anna did a great job meeting our standard poodle’s demands for exercise and attention while we were out of town for 10 days. Her texts assured us that everything was okay at home and that our dog was happy and healthy. Anna took care of everything, including an unexpected power outage, and we were able to have a worry free vacation. We hope to have her back in the future.”


“Olivia did an incredible job with our three babies! She was very attentive and communicative. We appreciated her thoughtfulness when caring for them. We would recommend her anytime!”


“Eva did great with our three dogs over an extended (6 night) stay of house sitting. They all have their goofy quirks, so we appreciated her spending the time with them to keep them all happy and healthy. We came back to three very excited and well cared for pups. Would highly recommend.”


“Joleen is very considerate and thorough. We enjoyed working with her as much as our pups did. Coming home to a clean house with happy dogs is a happy ending to a great vacation. I highly recommend Joleen!”


“Sheila did a great job taking care of my Dane in my home while I was out of state for a couple days. I appreciated when she communicated via text to keep me updated. I would have her again!”


“Kelsi did a great job and she communicated well every day during her stay at my house watching our large golden retriever! I will definitely rebook with Kelsi!”


“Kris was fantastic! She was so patient and understanding with our overly nervous and anxious rescue dog. Our dog takes a while to warm up to strangers, so I was very nervous about having someone stay at our house, but Kris made me feel comfortable from the moment she first met our pup. Kris provided thorough communication the entire weekend. I would highly recommend her and definitely hope to have her house sit again!”


About: I’ve had a cat and two huskies growing up along with some fish and not that long ago a dwarf hamster! Unfortunately where we are living now we are not allowed to have a cat or a dog so I am missing having some fur friends! Starting this Summer I will have some free time throughout the day! I’m a stay at home mom during the summer and I work in the school district throughout the rest of the year and I am hoping to help out some families with their fur babies! I will be available Monday through Saturday and I love to work out a time to either drop in to check on your fur babies or take them for a walk! When I was able to have my huskies I’d love to take them to the dog park and let them run around! But I would love to take your dogs for a walk or come and check in on your cats or other small animals as well! I have experience in cleaning cages or tanks or litter boxes as well! So I’d be happy to help out!

“Nina was great, she gave us updates every day, left our home in clean condition, and most of all kept Libby company while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking Nina again! 😊”


“Rachel had frequent communication and sent photos while I was away. My cat appeared happy and had dedicated care. Thank you Rachel l!”


“Amazing. Can’t say enough good things about Katie. I am always stressed when I leave our puppy. I felt so comfortable with her the minute we met that I wasn’t worried at all. Great communication as well and even sent photos for just a two hour visit. Highly recommend.”


About: I am a pet lover and will make sure your pet is in good care. I have had dogs of my own my whole life, and have taken care of other’s as well with walking and overnight/check in sitting. I do have experience with taking care of cats, too! I’m currently looking for work, so I’m more than ready to spend all my time taking care of your pet! I am available any day of the week at any time. I will adjust and try my best to imitate your care-style so your you and your pets are comfortable. Otherwise, I am more than happy to do the basics, spend my time playing and taking care of the essentials (feeding, walking, bathroom breaks, etc) with your pup.

“Ally is truly an amazing dog sitter and we’d confidently recommend her to everyone we know!! She watched our 110 lb malamute / shepherd mix named Winston for 8 days while my husband and I were on vacation and we could not have hoped for a better sitter for our boy. Winston has a lot of very strict dietary constraints and Ally managed it with total ease. Her communication was top notch, sending us updates and photos every day, which we were so appreciative of!! Our internet went out in the middle of the stay and a technician needed to come out to address it and make repairs - Ally handled the situation so smoothly, even taking down thorough notes for us to reference on the changes to our hardware & internet connection when we got back home. She was extremely patient, helpful & communicative throughout the whole ordeal! Ally was incredibly thoughtful with managing the upkeep / cleaning of our house, offering to go way above and beyond what we’d ever ask of her. Booking with her was one of the best decisions we’ve made, made even better by how much Winston loved his time with her - he went looking for her around our house the day after she left and we know he’ll be so excited to see her again one day ❤️ Thank you so much again for such an amazing stay, Ally!!”


About: I’ve been fostering dogs with my family since grade school, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I’ve also cared for my own cats, birds, and rabbits, and I truly enjoy pet sitting reptiles and all kinds of cuddly companions! I work in education during the school year, but my evenings and summers are more flexible, and I’d love to incorporate animal care into my routine! I have two senior pets with specialized diets and medications, so I’m unable to host animals in my home. However, I’m happy to provide care in clients’ homes and always ensure a clean, respectful service experience.

“Fantastic, professional and lovely. Would highly recommend”

She is an animal-lover, trustworthy and sends me pics often so I miss them less when away. Animals flock to her, she is responsible and she provides kind care for my senior dog. I have known Fira for 15+ years and she is truly the best in the business!”

Victoria P.
“Victoria has been our go to person for years! We have 2 rescue dogs with anxiety and 2 older cats with varying needs, as well as reptiles and amphibians. It is very hard to find someone that I can trust with all the different needs of my animals, but I have never had to worry when Victoria has stayed at my house. She will always ask for our instructions so she knows she is handling everyone's needs properly. She has never had any issues working with my high anxiety dog who doesn't do human touch, but also needs daily medication. Caring for our high anxiety dog is not something we trust many people with, so knowing she is taken care of while we are gone brings us more peace of mind than I could ever put to words. Victoria will always make sure your animals are cared for and she genuinely loves to interact with them. If you give her directions she will follow them to a T.”
