“Diane was such a blessing. She has a really sweet and caring demeanor and we knew right away she was the right sitter to watch our fur babies. In our week long trip she took great care of our home and 2 dogs and kept in touch throughout our trip. We feel relieved to have found her and will definitely rebook with her. Thank you Diane!!”


“Casey is awesome! I would not hesitate to book her and her partner Hung again. They took great care of our 2 dogs and house while we were on vacation for 10 days. One of my dogs is fearful/anxious and it takes him a while to warm up to new people. Casey is so knowledgeable on how to handle him. They were best friends in no time. Casey is great with communication and I looked forward to her twice daily updates and pictures. Casey is so calm and gentle with my pups, I was happy to have my dogs cared for by such great people!”



“We’ve had April house-sit a few times and feel assured that our house and girls are well taken care of while we’re away. We also love getting updates and pictures that she sends us. I highly recommend April.”


“Renee is great! She took great care of the dogs and the dogs loved her. She was also very considerate of our home and every was well taken care and clean!”


“Omgosh...I haven't seen my pups happier with any one other than my husband & I; until Angelina came along. VERY conscientious, caring, neat, & clean. Left the house the same or better than when I left. Dogs were so well cared for. They were happy and relaxed when I got home, like I never left. Easy to communicate with as well. Very responsive and timely. I look forward to having her return to my pups as a later date.”


“I had a wonderful experience with Klaudia! She was punctual, attentive, and so sweet to my pup. She followed all instructions perfectly and kept me updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend!”



“I cannot recommend Annie enough! She stayed with my dog, Addie, for a week and was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we met, I trusted her completely—she’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Knowing Addie was in such great hands allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without any worries. Annie provided excellent care, kept me updated, and made sure Addie was happy and comfortable the entire time. She also sent the cutest photos, which I loved getting since I missed my pup! I would love to work with her again in the future, and if you’re looking for a reliable, caring sitter, Annie is the best choice! I can’t thank her enough!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I've had my own cat for over 10 years, so I deeply understand feline behavior, routines, and the patience required to earn their trust. Beyond that, my extended family is full of cat lovers. I regularly help care for my sisters' cats, including a high-energy Bengal that requires specialized play, enrichment, and attention. I'm familiar with the unique personalities and needs of different breeds and have learned how to tailor care to suit each individual animal. When it comes to dogs, they've been a central part of my daily life while nannying. For the past year, I’ve consistently walked, played with, and cared for dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, managing energy with structured play, or ensuring calm and safe interactions, I always strive to give pets the love and attention they deserve. I’m confident managing multiple animals at once and can read animal body language to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. What sets me apart is the mix of hands-on experience with both cats and dogs, my calm and attentive approach, and my genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know them, meet their needs, and build trust. From playful puppies to independent seniors, I provide care that’s thoughtful, reliable, and personalized. I currently work part-time as a nanny, and that often includes caring for family dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and keeping them company throughout the day. When I’m home, I care for my own cat, who’s been with me for over 10 years. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. Starting this fall, I’ll be in school full-time, but I won’t be working a job alongside it. That means I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, especially on weekends and between classes. I prioritize safety and trust above all when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to ensure pets are comfortable and secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals feel relaxed and safe. At a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, keeping everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I’m attentive to any special needs or behaviors, and I’m always ready to respond quickly if a pet feels stressed or unwell. Building trust with both pets and owners is essential to me as I communicate openly and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Jamie was a great Dogsitter, she kept in great communication and sent photos and updates. I was very pleased with her professionalism and my dogs were happy and calm when I got home, which is the review that counts!!”


About: I have experience with both small/shy and big/hyper dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family trust me, both with dog walking and pet sitting. I am very comfortable and have experience with administering medication to pets as well. I really enjoy spending time with animals and strive to make sure your pet is safe and well-cared for. I have a pretty open schedule so whenever duty calls, I'm more than happy to take your dog for a walk or watch your kitty while you're on vacation. I will try my best to help keep your dog's home clean and organized during play and will make sure that your pup is well fed and happy!

“Ariel is a great pet/house sitter. She was flexible, responsive, and our dog took to her very quickly, which never happens. We will definitely book her for future dog sitting!”


About: If you ask anyone animals are my favorite thing! I’ll treat your dog as my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member!!

Unfortunately I’m not able to bring your furry friends where I live, but am available to come over to the clients house when needed for the pet!

“Kristen is awesome! We have two border collie mixes that require a lot of daily activity. She did a great job of keeping them happy and healthy while we were away. She was communicative and provided daily updates with pictures.”

“Kyrra met Mack & he was immediately enthralled with her. She is good with dogs and you can tell that right away. She arrived ready to go and was excited to get to spend 4 days with the dog. She sent us photos that we loved & indicated they were having a good time. I arrived home to a very clean house and an exhausted dog. Those were two very good signs for me! I’m definitely inviting her back to watch Mack again. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy dog-sitter who will love on your pet while you’re away!”


About: I've taken care of dogs of every Kind, my family and friends always look for me to take care their fur babies. We love dogs so it will be a pleasure having your dog(s) with us. I'm currently work 3 days per week Friday, Saturday and Sunday but some times my husband is off on so please do not hesitate to ask for this days we may be available. The rest of week I'm a home stay mom so I have plenty of time to play with your pups!! 😊 I have a fance yard and a friendly dog that will keep your pup company I also have 2 kids that love to play so you can be sure that they will have many things to do and full of love just like home.

“We are so grateful to Anthony for spending the weekend with our Sophie. She's a great judge of character and she took to him immediately. All the neighbors have commented on how well he worked with her and how happy she seemed. We will unquestionably rely on Anthony in the future. He is marvelous!”

Monica was great to work with! She took great care of our pup and kept us updated during the stay. Everything went smoothly and we recommend her!

Mariana was fantastic with my three dogs! She was responsive, reliable, and very easy to work with. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely have her stay with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Ashley’s daily presence in our home during our recent vacation was a great comfort to us and our crew of three dogs. We our so thankful that she made our trip possible and free of a concern about our dogs’ welfare. They adore her and were so happy that she got to have an extended sleepover!

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Brian! He stayed at our home for a full week while we were away and took amazing care of our two pets — our cat, who requires daily medication, and our older French bulldog. Both animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when we returned.

Kristen was excellent with our dogs while we were away. She sent us updates on how they were doing and pictures of their activity. She was very responsive and timely in her visits. We’d highly recommend her for any of your dog needs.

Another great stay with Kyrra! She is warm and caring with my dog and took good care of her while I was gone for the longest stretch I’ve ever left her for. The house was just as I left it.

We had a wonderful dog/housesitting experience with Odalys this past week! She is super friendly, professional, and responsive. Our dog immediately loved her and felt comfortable around her. While we were away, Odalys kept us updated with photos. She also made sure our pup had adequate walks around the neighborhood. And she always notified us when she needed to leave for school and when she was on her way back to our house. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend her for any dog-related needs!
