“Ana does such a good job with our shy dog. She takes the time to try and get him to come around even getting on the floor to get him to trust her. She’s super dependable. She gave him all his meds and gave us continuous updates on a wound he was dealing with. She even watered our plants! Thank you!”


“We have a feisty old kitty who is very hard to medicate. Andee has been more successful with medicating her than any other pet sitter we have tried! We are very grateful for Andee’s excellent animal care skills.”


“Dustin is wonderful. I often need to make last minute plans. Dustin always quickly responds to out request to let us know his availability. Our dog, Hank, is aging and Dustin takes such good care of him. I never need to worry as Dustin is 100% reliable. I highly recommend Dustin as he is the best of the best”

“If I could give MORE than 5 stars I would. Natalie was fantastic with my cats, and took special care to make sure both of them were happy and comfortable throughout our trip. She gave us very detailed drop in notes, played with our kitten to wear him out, and treated our special needs older cat with as much care as we would. It's clear she cares for each animal she watches over. Thank you so much again, Natalie!!”


“Holly has been a regular for our energetic mini-Aussie. She’s given an excellent description of their outings and willingly participated in some of the training we’ve been doing for Good Citizen Certification.”


About: I have three of my own pups and 2 cats, and if my husband would let me have more I would! We don’t deserve animals! They are literally the best thing! I hope I can love your animals as much as I love mine while you are away! My boys love new friends and would be so excited to meet your fur babies. I work full time, but only work 8 hour shifts with some remote days. If your pets do well with other pets and hanging out for a few hours alone, I’ve got you covered! I have an elderly boy (14), so I know all about meds and providing comfort! Message me for more scheduling details, I can sometimes move my schedule around to accommodate. I have a fenced yard, my animals are indoor mostly because of this sac heat. I have the ac and fans on always to make sure they are the most comfortable they can be!

“Taylor was so easy to work with! I live in an apartment that is a little difficult to navigate through and she had no issue with all the instructions had for her. My 12 week old pup could be a handful and she did great with him. Will definitely be booking again”


“First time and Debbie was amazing. I booked her last minute and she was soo helpful. The pictures and notes I received everyday were amazing. Debbie went above and beyond taking care of my fur baby, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”


About: As a dog owner of 2, I value someone who will treat my dogs as their own. As a dog sitter, your dog would be in the best care and will receive all the love I give my own. I mostly work from home Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm so I am available anytime after 5pm during the weekday and anytime on the weekends. If needed, I can also be available for early morning during the weekday. I would like to sit only at clients homes so each pet will can feel the most comfortable. Also since I have 2 dogs at home, feel like it is the safest option to only be at clients home.

About: Hi! I’m Alice, a lifelong animal lover with over eight years of full-time experience caring for pets. I’ve looked after puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and often help with family and friends’ pets too. With me, your pets get the best care, attention, and love they deserve, tailored to their unique needs! As a full-time student, I’m available for pet care full-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with part-time availability on weekends and Tuesdays/Thursdays. I’m committed to providing dedicated care that fits both my schedule and your pet’s needs! I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where pets can stay in their own space and routines. Whether it’s regular feeding, playtime, administering medications, or maintaining a clean environment, I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Their comfort and happiness are my top priorities!

“Absolutely an above and beyond sitter; she dog sat one of our pups that has behavioral health issues from prior abuse. I was worried all weekend how his care would be, but she handled this job with such ease. My dog liked her off the bat, which is a bit uncommon for him. She pet him, played with him, refilled his food and ensured water was there everyday. She even assisted in cleaning one plastic bottles that my dog got into when I was gone, she was so kind and respectful to the home. On top of her amazing work and compassion, she also gifted my doggie a bed, since he loves to destroy the many we buy him. Along with her kind gestures, she also provided pictures of my dog during her stay over with him. Overall she is an amazing sitter and I will love to have her again. I definitely look forward to booking her again for any future dog sitting.”


“Hans is an absolute hero yet again!! Looked after our two cats with love, care, and great communication! As always their vote counts the most, and they were in fine spirits when we got back. 10/10 would recommend Hans!!”


“Aicha was great with Brindle. This time our persisting was super last minute and she got back to us right away so we knew we could plan our time away. She sent us pics and just asked us if she had any questions....great sitter!”


About: As a dog mom to three (a husky, a shepherd mix, and a chihuahua), I understand that every dog has their own needs—whether they’re high-energy runners or slow-moving seniors. I’m active and love staying on the move, but I also know when to slow down. Reliable, flexible, and caring. My schedule is pretty flexible! I don’t have set work hours, so happy to fit in dog walks and visits throughout my day + weekend. I would be glad to follow whatever instructions/schedule your dog is on! You can count on me to treat your home—and your pet—with the same care I give my own.

About: Hi everyone! A little about me: I'm a dog lover who cares and has appreciation for all types of breeds. I was raised in a home around dogs, of all shapes and sizes, as well as cared for pets of friends and family members for many years. Whether it involved taking them on a long walk through the community, playing catch and brain stimulating games, or carrying for them overnight while their owners were away on vacation. I previously owned 2 GSD's and also have some experience with behavior/obedience training. I live in the Tallac Village community and on a summer break, so most of my schedule is open! This will allow the opportunity for plenty of day time activities such as walks and play breaks with your pups. I have one other roommate, who is also a lover of all pets. My backyard is fairly large with plenty of grass and dirt areas to dig and roll around. It is a safely fenced backyard with plenty of trees for shade. Weekly landscaping takes place, with the intent of keeping pups in mind. You can guarantee your family member will have a safe, comfortable and loving space with a variety of walk and play time activities (as needed)! Whether it may be out in the back enjoying the sun, or coming inside to a cozy home for some AC, or heater.

Dominique F.
“Dominique is amazing, she is awesome with my fur babies. My 2 standard poodles and kitty love her and when she comes over and they smother her with their wonderful wet kisses. They all fight for the place of honor on her lap. She is patient and loving and treats my babies like they are her own. I feel total safe when I know it’s Dominique coming over or walking my babies. My girls can tell the true spirit of a person the minute they meet that person and they have been in love with her ever since they met her. Like I said she is amazing, loving and caring and I would recommend her to any fur-baby parent - your precious babies are safe and alway loved with her - she is the next best thing to me lol 😁”

Alice H.
“We had an incredible experience with Alice as our house sitter. We left her with a full menagerie, including pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, and fish, and she handled it all with ease, responsibility, and warmth. From feeding and cleaning to ensuring each animal received personal attention, Alice went above and beyond in every aspect. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly loved her, and it was wonderful to see each animal well-cared for and happy when we returned. The house was also left spotless! We highly recommend Alice to anyone needing a trustworthy, dependable sitter who truly loves animals.”

Her own dogs have provided great socialization for Tucker and I could not ask for a more reliable and safe person to trust my pup with. He comes home happy and exhausted!”
