Jadyn communicated well the whole weekend and let us know when she arrived and left. She sent lots of pictures of our pups and left the house is clean condition! Our dogs had a few messes and she messaged to see if that was normal or a concern. We have 2 dogs that take meds and she did very well with them and made sure their needs were met! She was super nice and the dogs seemed happy when we got home! We will definitely be booking with her again!

Alissa is such a sweet girl. She loved on our Max all day and played with him, walked him and made sure he was loved while we were gone. She really went above and beyond. We will book her again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, we knew our pets were in great hands. They were loved, well-cared-for, and clearly spoiled with attention while we were away. We got updates, peace of mind, and came home to happy, relaxed pets — which says everything! Reliable, kind, and truly wonderful with animals. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to treat their pets like family. Thank you for taking such great care of our furry crew!

Bree was awesome and the cats appeared to like her also. She sent pictures and even took out the trash. We will be using her services again. It is so relaxing to be away and know that your pets are happy and well taken care of. I can't say enough about Bree.

About: From growing up with pets all around me, I’ve gained valuable experience in caring for our furry friends. I understand that every animal has differing needs, and I am dedicated to providing personalized care. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup, offering gentle attention to a senior pet, or simply being a comforting presence, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working a part-time job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! While my shifts differ every day, I do not have a specific availability but I am more than comfortable with working around my part-time jobs hours. On days my calendar says I’m unavailable, I may be able to provide services as well depending on the times I am working at my other job! I am 100% always available any time on Fridays! I have two cats and two dogs myself so I feel more than comfortable with my ability to ensure a safe environment for all animals. When it comes to any drop-in visits, I will treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and kindness.

Cal was absolutely amazing! He watched our two dogs for two days over Thanksgiving and treated them like they were his own. He sent frequent updates, photos, and check-ins so we always knew how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pups were clearly comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Cal again. Highly recommend!

About: Animals have been a passion of mine all of my life. I have owned and cared for many species including fish, reptiles, birds, hamsters, dogs and cats. My love for animals brought me to work as a veterinary assistant and later to attend the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers. I have now been training and competing with my own dogs for 20 years and am also a professional dog trainer. As a trainer, I have earned the credentials to be an AKC Canine Good Citizen/S.T.A.R. Puppy/ Farm Dog/ Trick dog evaluator. With my veterinary assistant and dog training experience I have gained the knowledge to properly handle and care for many beloved pets. I can assure you that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available most days. Mondays and Wednesdays I am unavailable between 9:00AM-5:00PM. I have plenty of time to provide services for you and your pets. If boarding in my home- you can use my crates or bring your own. I have a nice, fenced play yard that I use to let my dogs and visiting dogs run and play (I do not let my own dogs play with visiting dogs). I also have a built-in dog bathtub that I can used to give your dog a nice bath (for an added fee) before they return home upon request. When I visit a home- I follow given instructions and keep the area clean. My goal is for you to not even notice I was there. When I visit to walk your pet-I follow instructions and keep the area clean. I remain aware and not distracted. This ensures your pet remains safe and engaged during the walk. If your dog is more fearful-I try to make the walk as stress-free as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of my aunt’s dog since I was little and then briefly lived with one until he passed. I was in charge of walking and feeding them and both dogs absolutely adored me. Now as I’ve grown up, my favorite animals are still dogs but I unfortunately don’t have any and I have the cutest little kitties. Hoping to get my serotonin boost from hanging out with your pups instead! I’m currently studying so I’m available for onboarding any day you need me to! I’m free to watch over them and make sure their needs are met since I am home all day typically. My yard isn’t fenced fully but it is mostly and your fur baby will have all the space to run around. I will be home all day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy.

About: Hi! I provide attentive, full-time care from my home, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to give consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. What sets me apart is the level of attention and structure I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets, I actively engage with them. Whether that means helping reinforce puppy training (crate training, basic commands, potty routines), sticking closely to a senior dog’s medication or mobility needs, or giving anxious pets extra patience and reassurance, I tailor care to each pet’s personality. I do have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and safely managed to ensure your pet’s security at all times. I’m comfortable caring for: • Puppies who need structure and frequent potty breaks • Senior pets who require a slower pace or medication • High-energy dogs who need active play and stimulation • Shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away and for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to build my day around the pets in my care rather than fitting them in between long absences. Mornings typically begin with feeding, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and some one-on-one attention. Throughout the day, I provide regular outdoor breaks (fully supervised), playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because I’m home, I can easily maintain your pet’s normal feeding schedule and routine. In the evenings, pets continue to receive attention and companionship so they feel settled and comfortable. My schedule allows me to provide consistent supervision and structure every day of the week. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on maintaining a calm, structured, and safe environment. Because I’m home full-time, pets receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, crate preferences, exercise needs, and sleep habits. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure, especially in a new environment. I have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outside time is closely supervised to ensure safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors. In a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I prioritize feeding schedules, clean water, potty breaks or litter box care, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal in any setting is to create a low-stress, attentive experience where pets feel secure and cared for.

Brittany was my first house-sitter and I hope to have her be my only! I have an active dog along with 3 cats. I needed a house sitter primarily since I had some medical appointments and my husband recently deployed again. Our dog hasn't been handling the change well. I could have easily kenneled him where we normally do, but this is so much more convenient and easier with Odin's schedule. Brittany is extremely qualified....probably too qualified for this. She works at a zoo for crying out loud!! :) You should feel privileged that Brittany is able to care for your pup. :) Everyone on this site should really take into account if you're scheduling a house sitter or boarding, that they do so much and compare prices to just a single dog walk. Please, please, please...tip your walkers/boarders/sitters well! You cannot tip on the app ( I have asked that to the company) and it's just on you. They do this because they enjoy animals. Do your waiters always enjoy bringing your food and yet you tip them? These are people in our community choosing to help care for your animals like you would when you're away. The app they work for takes a fee so they certainly do deserve your tips!

About: I’ve been pet sitting since i was 14, dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats (including the ones with attitude) and rabbits. I started out dog sitting for the family pets and have now gotten recommendations for family friends, neighbors, and a couple people im not even related to. I love animals more than anything and would be happy to share that love with them. I have flexible hours and can make just about every time work and can also work around my work schedule. :) I work part time usually in the mornings so i have lots of time to take care of your animals. Im available for any type of care service except for in my personal home. I will however be willing to drive long distances. I can stop by frequently, do overnights, go for walks, play with them, and give lots and lots of love to your pets of all sizes.

About: I was born with the yearn to care for animals built into my core. The day I turned 16 I got my first job in a kennel, caring for dogs boarded there on the weekends and after school. Once I turned 18 I began volunteering at my local shelter, fostering sick and injured animals, bottle feeding kittens, training puppies, and finally making the difference I dreamed of growing up. I was eventually hired and employed by the shelter and trained in many different elements. Feeding, grooming, administrating medications, behavior classes, training, and general overall daily care. I have been fear free certified twice. I was since promoted to a veterinary assistant in 2022 where I’ve thrived working in the medical side of animal care the last few years. There I have gained many lifesaving skills as long as senior care skills to add to my belt. I have most recently had a baby so I’m looking to continue caring for animals in a way that better fits my current life. I’d also love nothing more than to raise my child teaching her to show animals compassion and care! 💜 I am currently staying home with my daughter so as long as you don’t mind she tags along, my availability is wide open! (She is an infant so remains in her carrier) Your pets will be treated like family whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I absolutely PROMISE you they will feel loved and be given all the pets and attention they desire! (Treats as well, if permitted 😉)

Mary was an exceptional sitter for Meatball while we were at the Miami Open, bringing a special touch by including her well-behaved dog, Odin. This unique pairing was fantastic; Meatball not only enjoyed her company but also learned positive behaviors from Odin, showcasing Mary’s skill in fostering a great environment for pets to learn from each other. We appreciated the regular updates and photos from Mary, which highlighted the fun and educational interactions between Meatball and Odin. Mary’s understanding of dog behavior and her proactive approach to pet sitting went beyond our expectations, providing Meatball with both care and companionship. We highly recommend Mary for her thoughtful and enriching pet sitting services. Her ability to merge care with behavioral guidance through Odin’s exemplary behavior is truly commendable. Thanks Mary!
