Cheyenne was wonderful! She stayed at my place with my dog Baillie for one month while I was out of the country. I really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the month. Baillie isn’t the easiest dog, but Cheyenne made an enormous effort to help her feel comfortable. On top of all that, she left my place sparkling clean!

Danielle loves our critters while we are away. We came home to a happy house. Dogs and cats were friendly and glad to see us. We are grateful for Danielle. We plan our trips when she is available.

Lydia is a great pet sitter! She took our dogs on walks everyday and played with them in the yard to meet their energy needs. Will absolutely use her again.

This is the second time Jaylyn has pet sit for us and we are so thankful for her care for our furry babies! We have four younger rescue dogs and Jaylyn is relaxed and chill with them and has a great sense of humor, which I so appreciate, while providing care for each of their unique personalities. At our first meet and greet there was some barking but before the visit was over our slightly more apprehensive and on guard dog was giving her kisses. Jaylyn didn’t stress our dogs, we watched her respecting their comfort zones and as a result they all did end up happily wanting her attention. Jaylyn put our minds at ease as we left them all for the first time for a few days in a row (she pet sit in our home) and she was the first we reached out to when we needed a day sitter now. Her willingness to accommodate what is important to us in the care of our dogs means a lot to us. I appreciate her correspondence while we are away too. Our dogs are our family and we feel at ease with them in Jaylyn’s care.

About: I can walk the dogs, feed them. Take care of them whenever you need. If I can fit into your schedule I would love to take care them for you I have a German shepherd and a husky myself, I love dogs. I work remote, so my dogs are with me pretty much 24/7, I have a flexible schedule I have a fenced yard for my pet. But I would rather dog sit in other people’s house. Just because my dogs can be pretty protective.

Amazing dogsiter! Our dog is 15 years old and somewhat set in her ways and Ayliffe did great with her. Roxy even ended up sitting in her lap, which is not her normal with anyone but me. Communication was great and she sent pictures throughout our trip. I will definitely be using her again.

About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. As a former AKC conformation and lure coursing competitor, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to shy or reactive pets. I share my home with four cats, including rescues, so I understand animals with unique needs. I offer calm, patient, and reliable care—no breed or size restrictions, just a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time and attend classes two nights a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Caring for animals is one of the best parts of my week—it’s grounding, rewarding, and something I truly enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routines. In your home, I follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedules closely and keep things calm for shy or anxious pets. In my home, animals have a quiet, supervised space, enrichment toys, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s medication, training, or extra snuggles, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.

Nyah was absolutely wonderful with our baby. She stayed in our home and left everything in impeccable condition. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel back home was delayed by the airline. She spent extra time with Zuri so that we didn't have to worry about her as we were trying to figure out how to get home sooner. I would recommend her to anyone in need of someone kind, considerate and great with animals. Will definitely book with Nyah again.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I fostered dogs for 3 years, mainly pregnant moms who I fostered along with their puppy’s once born until they all were adopted. I’ve been pet sitting for over 6 years as well, dogs, cats, horses and other small animals. I currently work at a vet clinic as a veterinary technician, and have 3 dogs and a cat of my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I’m currently working at a vet clinic, but have tons of free time before and after my shifts as well as on my days off. I’m willing to spend as much time needed with your pets in your home, I will ensure they have access to water and food when necessary. I will walk and play with your pets or cuddle up with them and give them lots of love. I’m experienced medicating dogs as well, if that’s needed.

About: I have extensive experience raising and caring for large animals, which has taught me the dedication, patience, and skill required to ensure their well-being. I currently own three Anatolian Shepherds—two of which I raised from puppies—as well as an Australian Shepherd mix, giving me firsthand knowledge of managing active, working breeds. In addition, I have professional experience as a kennel technician, where I was responsible for the daily care of animals, including feeding, monitoring health, maintaining clean and safe environments, and administering medications. Hi there! My name is Sean, and I have an extensive background in caring for pets. I currently work a part-time job, which allows me flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. On the days I work from 7–5, I’m still available to stop by at least twice a day for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I can also spend quality time with your pets in the evenings. On my off-days, half-days and weekends, I have even more availability to provide extra attention, walks, and companionship. I provide my services in the client's home and do not board animals, which allows the pets to remain in a familiar and stress free environment. I promise to respect the client's property and ensure to maintain a safe and clean house. If your animal requires medication I am able to administer tablets or food supplements, but I cannot do injections such as insulin or medications of that nature.

Amy is great. We left our 5 month old doodle Cooper with her for the first time for five days at our house. We got home to a spotless house and clean sheets. We got countless pictures of Cooper and updates twice a day. I was so nervous about leaving him just because it was the first but felt comfortable just by day 2 and was able to enjoy vacation without worrying.

Connor has taken care of Jax numerous times. Each time, Connor loves on him, takes pictures of him, and takes him on walks just like I would. My pup is my baby, and while I hate leaving him, I know he is always spoiled and loved when I leave him with Connor. I couldn't ask for a sweeter person to care for Jax. You can also count on Connor to take great care of your home. He knocks out small items effortlessly. However, this past trip, I was in the middle of selling my house. Connor helped me with the entire process while he stayed! He prepped the house each day for showings and it remained immaculate.

Chloe made it possible for me travel free of my pets after the effects of the pandemic and the loss of one of their mama’s. It’s been a difficult time and I was afraid to leave them alone, but they did great and Chloe was super. I would highly recommend Chloe for all your pet’s needs.
