“Helen was absolutely amazing with Chombi! From the moment they met, I could tell Chombi felt comfortable and safe around her. She was attentive, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Helen kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she went above and beyond to make sure Chombi was happy, well cared for, and sticking to her routine. When I got back, Chombi was relaxed and clearly had a great time. I would 100% trust Helen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Helen, for taking such great care of Chombi! 🐾💗”
“I highly recommend Kyree! She is reliable, caring, and great with my dog, Fiigs. I always feel confident knowing my pup is in good hands, and I really appreciate the updates and attention she provides. A trustworthy and wonderful dog walker!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personal experience as the owner of a husky for over 5 years and a cat for over 3 years. Additionally, I have volunteered to care for more than a dozen cats of various ages, from juniors to seniors. This diverse experience has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to handle pets with different needs and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best possible care. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I set aside specific times for feeding, grooming, and exercising my pets. On weekends, I dedicate additional time for extended walks, play sessions, and special activities to ensure their physical and mental well-being. My schedule is flexible to accommodate any special needs or emergencies, ensuring that my pets always receive consistent and attentive care. As a Catholic family without small children or large animals, we prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment for pets. We have a dedicated "pet cottage" room for cats and small dogs, ensuring they have a comfortable and secure space. Our home is equipped with a variety of cute and special toys for your furry friends, providing them with ample entertainment and stimulation. We take pride in offering a loving and safe environment for your pets, ensuring they feel at home.

About: I have loved animals ever since I could walk. While I may not have my own pets, I love to show my affection and admiration for them through pet care. I have almost 4 years of experience working with dogs from working at a local dog boarding and daycare center. I’ve learned many new things working there, including administering medications, showing patience with different dogs, and being adaptable to a parent’s need for their pets I am temporarily working part-time and I’m a full-time student. However, that doesn’t stop me from having a flexible schedule. Whether it be on the weekends or the weekdays, I am always willing to find the perfect time to take care of your pets. While I may not be able to provide a location for your dogs, I do everything I can to make sure that they feel safe in their own homes and that the parents feel assured of their pets’ safety. I can provide routinely check-ins with the parents as needed. Whether it is texting them before and after a drop-in or letting them know when their dog is ready to sleep for the night. I am open to many ways a parent will want to check on their pets.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have grown up with dogs as well so I understand that every pup has their own personality, energy level, and routine. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand the importance of following your dog’s routine, respecting any special instructions, and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them the patience, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m very flexible and can work around my part time job we can communicate what will work for the both of us! Feel free to send me a message! Weekends I’m always free for sure !

I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, treat it with respect, and send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: About this sitter: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and honestly, I’ve always felt that animals have a special place in my heart—sometimes I even say I love them more than humans! 😂 I’ve cared for pets my entire life, but I’ve also had the privilege of caring for animals professionally for over 15 years. Over that time, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, needs, routines, and little quirks, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one as an individual. For me, caring for animals has never felt like a chore or simply a job—it’s a passion. I genuinely love spending time with them, giving them attention, playing with them, making sure they’re comfortable, and knowing they feel safe and loved while they’re in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to trust someone with your baby. After more than 15 years of professional experience, I bring patience, responsibility, compassion, and plenty of hands-on experience to every pet I care for. My goal is always to give pets a happy, comfortable experience while giving their parents peace of mind knowing their babies are being loved and cared for. I work remotely, and my job offers a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day and evening. This flexibility gives me plenty of opportunities to provide consistent care, attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship for the babes. I’m able to work my schedule around their needs and make sure they receive the love and care they need throughout the day, rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where they can safely play, explore, and get some exercise, along with plenty of toys and space to relax. I’m also able to keep pets separated when needed, whether for feeding, rest, introductions, or simply to make sure each pet is comfortable. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and care instructions, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while they’re in my care.
About: I’ve cared for friends and family’s pets. They depend on me to bathe, brush their hair, check for fleas, feed them, give them treats and take dogs on walks. I’m currently working other flexible jobs, so I have time to care for pets at this time. I have time to visit, have sleep overs at their home, have visits to feed them and walk them. I am able to care for your pets safely and you can trust me because I am very detailed oriented and pay attention to anything that may be dangerous for your pets.
About: I’m Ebony and I love caring for dogs. For the past ten years, I’ve been working to provide loving care to pups of all personalities and breeds! Currently, I have a rescue Fox Terrier of my own named Oreo. He’s five years old and my life truly changed after I adopted him from Petsmart. I understand how hard it is to be away from your furry friend and know that leaving your dog with a stranger can often be stressful and scary. I aim to provide honest, trustworthy, and skilled care to every pup and owner I meet. Your dog will be loved and watched carefully. I can also be in constant and consistent contact, sending photos, videos, and text updates to share the fun we’re having. I live in a wonderful, dog-friendly home in the Rodeo Palms neighborhood, where your pup can enjoy toys, treats, and cuddles galore! The area is quiet and is family-heavy, so it’s a safe and fun place to bring puppy friends. There are also lots of dog parks in my neighborhood, so with your permission we’ll hit the outdoors to meet some new friends. You’ll also love that my home has a fenced-in backyard - which makes potty breaks, sunbathing, and play time easy and fun! There is room to run and roam, bark and play, and get to know Oreo a little better. When I’m not pet sitting, I love spending time with Oreo as well as teaching children to read, travelling around the world, and getting my Zumba on! Your pup would be welcome to join me on any of my adventures. I can’t wait to meet you! On a stay with me, I’ll be sure to provide everything your dog needs in order to stay happy and healthy! We’ll stay safe in my fenced in yard and take frequent potty breaks. On a stay with me, I’ll be sure to provide everything your dog needs in order to stay happy and healthy!

About: Hey! I was introduced to animals of all kinds at an extremely young age. I’ve taken care of everything from dogs to cats to exotic animals such as reptiles! There is no limit for me, I am open to caring for any and all animals in any way possible. I take a lot of pride in caring for animals and humans alike, it is very fulfilling to me. Tell me what you need and you got it, I will give you peace of mind when it comes to your precious ones! I’m currently free just about 24/7 for animal care as I am working on making my own company and it is a slow process. It is possible to even do same day scheduling with me frequently! I have 1000sqft apartment with two corgis of my own and two chinchillas! Ideally I am looking to go to a client’s home, but it’s possible to take in a pet with me as long as the pet is cooperative enough to respect my own dog’s space when needed.
About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.
About: I’ve had dogs for years and love them very much, I enjoy walking and caring for them. I would love to do the same for your pets!! I do currently have a full time job from 7:30 to 4:00 but I am definitely available Friday to Sunday all day or any weekday after 5pm. As a walker I plan on making sure your pet is as safe as possible by avoiding any situations that could cause them harm or stress, and keep them on a leash at all times.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
