“Trevor took great care of Romeo and our home for us, and we would highly recommend him in the future. He gave us daily pictures and updates to keep us informed. Romeo got lots of exercise, and seems to miss Trevor now that he’s not here! We would love to use Trevor again, knowing Romeo would be in great hands.”

“We went away for 10 days to Portugal, which was the longest we ever have been away from our dogs. Rose made us feel much better with her excellent care. She sent countless updates, pictures, and videos. I can tell my dogs were happy and relaxed. She followed our instructions exactly and left our home exactly how she found it. We will use her again!”
“Great 👍! I had her for three days, came on time and treated my two big fur babies with love and affection. I hand retriever and a husky, so you know you got the hair all over.

About: I have owned dogs almost all my life and treat them as though they are my family. I have dealt with dogs who have to take medicine and dogs with different medical conditions. I have taken care of dogs of many different sizes from pugs to huskeys. I currently take care of my childhood dogs that live with my mother when she goes away. I am currently an unemployed college student, so over the summer I have all the time in the world to play, walk, and care for your pets! I will make sure that your pets follow all your house rules from putting them in a crate or not being allowed to use furniture.
About: Hi! My name is Shelby. I am a dog owner and a recent graduate with a Bachelor degree in Animal Science on the path of becoming a veterinarian. I am looking to take care of pets of any size. I have experience from all over but the most significant one is my current workplace where I function as a veterinarian technician, so I’m more than confident in my pet handling skills. With that job comes responsibilities like medicating animals, watching and understanding body language, looking out for problematic symptoms, etc. all things I succeed in. At the practice I work at, we deal with dogs and cats of all different sizes and temperament, so do not be too worried if you book with me. With that being said, getting to meet your fabulous pet would be a great pleasure for me not only because I love animals but because it moves me forward in what I strive to become, which is, an understanding and caring doctor of veterinary medicine! I’m currently working full time as a veterinary technician. My schedule is Monday through Friday from 9AM-6PM, with an hour lunch break. I do have the weekends off. I have a fur baby of my own so I know how important it is to make sure whoever takes care of your pet is doing their very best and nothing less of that. I am an active listener so whatever you want me to do it will be done to a tee. Crating, giving medicine, enrichment activities, etc. are all things within my capabilities and even if something isn’t I will be sure to let you know beforehand. I have house sit before so updates on anything will always be given and I will leave your home just as it was. Your home and pet is like another part of you so I would never treat it as less than that.
“We are so glad we had Sam! She stayed in touch with us throughout the week. We gave her quite the task —taking care of a 14 1/2 year old husky and a 5 year old energetic golden doodle for almost a week! We felt so comfortable with her especially because she was so proactive in checking in. She stayed in our house for the week and even when we came back the place was super clean and our girls seemed so happy with her time there!! We loved Sam and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! Thank you Sam!!!! 💛💛💛”
“Nadine was absolutely amazing. She provided great care and companionship for our senior pup. She really put our minds at ease with updates through the day. We would recommend Nadine to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I have taken care of my family friends dogs for years, often ranging from elderly mini poodles to energetic border collies. I also have my own dog, however, because I am away for college she is currently not with me. I am also a Division 1 Athlete so I love taking them out on walks and having fun with them. I am available on mornings of weekdays and all day on weekends, because I am a full time student-athlete. In addition, late evenings of weekdays work well for me as well. I will often take pets on walks and make sure they get adequate exercise. Having a pet of my own, I understand how important nutrition is to your pets and will follow whatever plan you have for them. In addition, I also acknowledge how important it is to have a clean pet, and can wash your pet.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to blend genuine care with adaptability. I’m attuned to each pet's unique personality and needs, whether they’re energetic or shy. I also prioritize clear communication with pet owners, keeping them updated with photos and notes after every visit. My commitment is to create a stress-free, fun experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. i always make sure my pets have plenty of exercise and are always attended to whenever i'm taking care of my pets i make sure they're loved and that they feel safe but most importantly they're having a good time with me.
“Ivana is an AMAZING pet sitter. She is extremely caring and attentive for you and your pet. I am lucky to have had my pet become bffs with Ivana. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future and recommending her to friends and family ?.”
“Thank you again Sarah for watching and taking care of Cookie for me while I was gone! She had an awesome time with Java. Sarah was very hands on with Cookie and made sure she had plenty of yard time. I came home to a tired dog who enjoyed her evening full of fun! Thank you so much☺️”

Jeanne S.
“Jeanne has been a very caring and conscientious sitter for our two sweet dogs. She always makes sure their leashes are secure and brings water and snacks if the walk is more than just around the block. She is very caring and considerate of both the animals and their parents, and is always ready to take the time for a belly rub or behind the ears. She's always happy to play with them as much as having the fur babies sit, lie down, and stay!”

Dakota W.
“They did an amazing job taking care of my very energetic dog while I was away. My dog is super hyper and full of energy, but Dakota handled him with patience and care. One of the things I appreciated most was how they managed his medical needs. My dog needed topical medication applied to a sensitive area. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I came home to a happy, healthy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Truly a responsible, attentive, and compassionate sitter!”

Rose is an amazing sitter. She took care of my two cats while I was away for two weeks. She is incredibly thorough and has a keen attention to detail and is wonderful with communication. It was clear from the pictures and videos she sent me that my cats loved her company and were very comfortable with her. When I came home my house was cleaner than I had left it. Rose genuinely cares about the animals' well-being and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy, loved, and safe. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Nadine watched our senior pitty for the second time in the past 7 months. She is so loving and attentive to our fur baby. Nadine noticed her arthritis acting up and notify us so some additional medication could be administered. She is just a wonderful sitter- for our dog who has a lot of issues. I never worry when Jazzy is in her care since I know Nadine will treat her like her own!
Lauren was great with our recently adopted Great Dane! It was our first time leaving him and he was also separated from our other dog so we were a bit nervous about how he would behave. She communicated without us multiple times a day providing updates and plenty of pictures to reassure us that everything was going well. Both our pup and home were well taken care of during our 3 days away and we would 100% recommend her.
