9. Megan B.


“Process was super easy. Megan responded very quickly right from the start and throughout the stay. We worked out an arrangement I think we were both happy with. She is very friendly and has such an honest and reliable demeanor that I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pooches in her care. Megan sent pictures and little update messages with almost every visit so I could see that my pups were safe and happy. GREAT experience and I would definitely book with Megan again in the future.”


10. Alicia M.
About: Hello there! I'm Alicia, a dedicated pet sitter who loves both dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself (meet Dexter, my sweet and playful boi), I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone who will treat them like family. With experience caring for the pets of friends and family, along with volunteering at a local shelter, I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets—whether it’s energetic dogs or independent cats. I promise to provide your pets with the attention, affection, and care they deserve while you’re away. You can trust that your pets will be in loving hands! Working in a fast-paced kitchen means my hours can vary, but that’s what makes pet sitting a great fit for me. I can work around my cooking schedule, offering pet care in the early mornings, afternoons, or on my days off. I’m passionate about helping other pet owners in my community by providing loving and reliable care for their pets when they need it most. Whether you’re looking for a walk or a drop-in visit, I’m here to help! Your pet is part of the family, and I treat them that way. I provide in-home care that focuses on your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. From giving them extra cuddles to taking them on walks or simply keeping them company while you’re gone, I make sure they feel loved and secure in their own space. I’m committed to offering the same level of attention and care as I would to my own pets.


11. Hannah Z.
About: I worked in a boarding center for dogs and cats while their owners were away. There, I had training in caring for many different breeds and sizes of dog, including giving them medications, scheduling play time and potty breaks, and walks. Friends and family all rely on me to watch their pets while they're away, and that's because I genuinely love and care for every animal I come across! I've owned animals my whole life, and right now have one cat named Roxas who I love with my whole heart. I'm self employed from home, so my schedule and availability are extremely open and flexible! Whenever you need, chances are I'll be available to watch after your fur baby! I live in a quiet, nice apartment complex. I don't have a fenced in yard, but would keep your dog leashed while out for potty breaks if boarding. I also have home security cameras installed. I value you and your pets safety and privacy!


12. Brittany B.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have a total of 12 animals, not including my fish. I puppy/dog sit for my friends and family when I have the time. I currently work in pet care and I personally take care of the animals there. I currently work part time so my work days do change from day to day. But if you like me and my services, let me know and I can see what I can do to help you more. I keep a notebook on which animals need what kind of care, like if they have any kind of allergies or if they need to be fed at a certain time or any special requirements.

15. Lola P.

16. Brenna & Sawyer B.

“Brenna and Sawyer are amazing!! They took such good care of our kitty and dog! They were on time everyday and were so good with our dog and cat!!”


17. Sarah M.

“I’m so thankful for Sarah taking such good care of my dogs. I had weird times I needed her and she was very accommodating. I would definitely use Sarah again.”


18. Alisa N.

“I’m thankful Alisa was able to accommodate a last minute meet & greet and visit. Mr. Big cat and Anna dog took to her immediately. The drop-in visit for dinner and potty went well. It was on-time with an update and photo. I’ll definitely ask Alisa to care for the furkids in the future.”


19. Faith D.

“Faith was a great dog sitter, she did drop in visits for our Piper. She played ball with her & Piper loved it. I would highly recommend Faith to take care of any of your fur babies.”


20. Laura S.

“Laura was the best, and our kitties absolutely loved her - even the stand-offish one! It is obvious she loves animals - She was so in tune with their needs and even their personalities. Laura kept us up to date on every single thing, and answered questions right away. I would definitely recommend Laura, and we will use her again in the future if/when necessary.”
