Amy was amazing. My dog was so relaxed when I got home after 12 days away because she gave him such great care. She was very communicative and professional. She's my go to sitter as long as she'll have us!

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of dogs and cats for the past 15 years. My friends, neighbors, and family members rely on me for help caring for their sweet animals. Im currently a full time graduate student, so I will have time at different points during the day to come check on your pets or watch them overnight. At a clients home I stay with the pets and follow all instructions given by the client. I never leave an animal longer than the maximum amount of time they can be alone and tend to do my work while spending time with the pet.

Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!

About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊

I cannot recommend Mandy enough! She took care of my fur baby as if he were her own. Not only did she provide him with great potty breaks and meals, but she also made sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. I loved receiving pictures of my pup having a blast while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, look no further. This sitter is truly top-notch!

About: I have been caring for pets for several years, helping close friends by providing dependable and loving care for their animals whenever they needed it. Through this experience, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and to follow each pet's unique routine. I'm also a proud pet owner myself, with one beautiful dog named Luna and three cats—Wedge, Benimaru, and Ainz. Caring for my own pets every day has given me hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, playtime, litter box maintenance, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., which leaves me available during mornings, afternoons, evenings after work, and all day on Sundays and Mondays. I make pet care a priority and ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care they deserve while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and favorite activities. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.

Pam is wonderful. She is not only reliable and communicative with me, but she is most importantly terrific with my pups. Both Clarence and Mary seemed to love her on sight. She worked well with me when our plans changed and was always agreeable. Pam is everything one hopes for as a house-sitter, pet-sitter. She cared for my home in a way that was respectful and consistent, but most of all, she cared for my furbabies. Thanks, Pam! We know we will reach out again! Best, Whitney

About: My experience includes 20+ years of pet ownership, 10+ years of dog walking on a part time basis in the Riverside/Avondale area. We can walk at a fast pace, if requested by your dog. Or we can lazily meander our way around the neighborhood. We can also play games like fetch, tug, hide and seek, etc., and practice basic obedience with rewards like treats or play. I have a long leash we can use as well if requested, which I find is a nice way to allow the dogs to explore more freely in less busy areas like parks or backstreets. At the moment I am doing a few different types of gig work, so my schedule is flexible and I may be able to accept bookings with very short notice. When walking dogs, I usually attach their leash to my body using a hands free leash mechanism as an extra safety measure and to allow myself to walk more easily at a faster pace, if the dog is up for that. Generally, I will maintain a safe distance from other dogs (and cats) walking around to be sure that no incidences occur. Except to send you updates, I will not use my phone while with your dog. My attention will remain on your dog and the walk. Otherwise, it is important for me that I am patient and gentle with all dogs in my care and that I do not make them feel uneasy or anxious on our walk.

Shanna took exceptional care of my two senior dogs while I was away, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Caring for senior pets can be challenging since they require daily medications and extra attention, but Shanna handled everything flawlessly. She was incredibly sweet, patient, and caring with them, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she sent multiple updates and photos each day, so I always knew they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear that Shanna genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter.

Maverick was amazing with our two Shibas. He was super responsive, respectful of our property, and great with the boys. Our fur babies can be quirky and he followed all of our instructions. The boys were happy and healthy when we got home. I think he really treated them well and we will absolutely book with him if the need ever arises again!

Bayli was absolutely amazing watching our two dogs over the weekend! She was incredibly communicative and responsive the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. She also took great care of our home and kept everything clean and in order, which we really appreciated coming back home to. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure both the pets and owners feel comfortable. We would 100% trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter!

This was the second time Jess stayed over to watch our pup, and once again she was great. She was punctual, communicated promptly throughout, and confirmed details earlier in the week since the stay had been planned for about a month. She left our home exactly as she found it and sent photos that clearly showed our baby was happy and well cared for. Thanks again, Jess!
