“Candice is one of the most caring person we know. She has gone above and beyond to ensure Bea is safe and comfortable. While the weather was pretty bad during the time Candice was watching Bea. She made sure Bea was safe and secure. We are so grateful for Candice.”


“After we fired our first sitter (at the beginning of our trip) for the lack of care she gave to our 2 dogs, we messaged multiple sitters hoping to find someone quickly who could provide better care for our girls. Samantha messaged me back first, and she accommodated us with our last minute request with grace. She was EXCEPTIONALLY better than our last sitter - on time, communicative, and good with our girls. We could tell from the photos that our dogs really liked her and her daughter, and it put me at ease so we could finish the last of our trip de stressed, knowing that our girls were getting good care. We will absolutely be reaching out to Samantha again for future visits!!!”


“Max did an amazing job. He met me the day before to receive instructions and meet Whiskey and Willow. He was thoughtful and asked smart questions. For the stop-ins, he came at consistent times each day and sent photos. He was reliable and trustworthy and I’d hire him again”


“Alessia was great and took fantastic care of my cat Mabel for the two weeks I was gone! She sent so many cute photos of her playing with Mabel and kept her super active and happy. Alessia is a lovely young lady and I will definitely be going to her for the next time I need cat sitting :)”


“wonderful job once again. Second time I’ve used Alyssa and my cat Max has already started accepting her. He is normallyquite picky and usually afraid of everyone.”


“Mariah did a great job caring for our four chicken and keeping us informed and providing photos. She kept the coop and porch clean and loved feeding the girls from her hand. Mariah is a very pleasant individual and we will use her service when needed and will have her care for our dog Nura the next time we leave.”


“Travis did a wonderful job with Mogwai, my giant rabbit child. He provided daily updates and some pictures. I felt Mogwai was in great hands and I came home to a well kept living area. I would absolutely rebook with Travis and recommend!”


“Jesus was super friendly and our pups took to him right away. I received pictures daily and came back to 2 happy and safe dogs! Thank you Jesus will definitely see you again soon!”


About: Certified animal lover! I have many years of experience working with many different dog and cat breeds. I used to do professional dog grooming so I am educated in wide variety of breeds, behaviors, health conditions, coat care and proper restraint. My number one priority when caring for your fur baby is safety. I grew up around animals and I currently own a Great Dane and Doberman mix. My Doberman has a history of health conditions so I am familiar with administering medication to dogs. Communication is important to me so I try to respond to messages and phone calls as soon as possible. Usually after I sit I give feed back to let you know how things went while you were away. I’m willing to do what ever it is my client asks for to satisfy their needs with their animals that I am being trusted to care for while they are away. I am currently available every day of the week and I have a very flexible schedule. Please contact me for any additional scheduling questions or concerns. When I stay at a clients home I ask for emergency contact information, safe areas, and off limit rooms. If your pet has any known health concerns I ask that you communicate them with me so I can keep an eye out. The safety of your home is just as important to me as your pet! Please let me know if there is any additional requests such as locking up, alarm system rules, checking the mail, etc.

About: I've had dogs since I was 5 and have worked with them for the past 2 and a half years. I've trained several puppies, taken care of my own elderly pups when they had arthritis, cancer, and other illnesses that come with old age. I am fully committed to caring for your pets so long as it does not interfere with other clients. Anytime even 2am if need be. My goal is to make your pet feel as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible in the absence of their favorite humans (you). I always treat my clients and their fur babies with respect and care.

About: My name is Yolanda Patricia. I understand that most of us pet owners love our little ones as part of our family and the importance for a reliable, loving, caring nanny who can nurse and care for pets. My big love for all kinds of house pets has brought me to the desire to be a pet caregiver while owners are away for work, vacations or owner not being able to provide care for the pet in that moment. I have a lifetime experience with pets since throughout my life I owned and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and birds. Certified dog walker from IAP career college. Worked as a dog groomer for PetSmart from 2002 to 2006. Dog walker in the year 2002 in Dallas, Texas. I'm currently working as a care giver on Friday Saturday and Sunday. This schedule opens a 4 day window for me to take care of pets. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are available days when I can fit your pets in my schedule for potty breaks, medications, meal time and dog walking. When I come in the first thing is to make sure pets are fine by observing their behavior, guide them to their potty break or play time, check mail, lights in the house whether is day or night, check door locks, make sure pets have a clean area, food and water.


“Susan was very helpful and available to us in a time of need with short notice. We are very grateful for her attention to our pets and she stayed in regular contact sending photos and information daily. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you so so much Susan. ❤️”


About: My name is Mary, I’m a full time dental hygiene student, and I’ve always loved taking care of animals even when I was working full time as a dental assistant. I would like to emphasize when I am busy, Monday through Thursday for school. I’m available after. If you are needing specific things done, Or wanting me to do specific hours, Please make sure you tell me when you are booking with me. My time is just as valuable as yours. The app doesn’t automatically tell you what times you want me there even if it has a time between 8 AM and 8 PM, That’s not specific and a lot of people have wanted me to stay just a specific amount of time. So let’s just make sure we are on the same page. Again, thank you guys so much for the opportunity. My schedule varies as I am a full-time dental hygiene student. We can always talk when you are wanting to book with me, and we can see if our days will be able to correlate so that it works for your needs. I always show the animals love and just give them time to warm up. Most of the times my clients leave me notes and tasks to accomplish while they are away.

About: I love all animals I work at the airport and have to say hi to all the doggies and since I was little I would always find puppies to take care of. My fur niece and nephew love me more then their parents. I would like to build a client list that would allow me to work full time with pet care so work doesn’t feel like work more like fun. I act like they’re my pets, I’d love them and give them pets and snacks (if allowed). I’m also the most trusting person I can send you a list of recommendations. People love me just as much as the animals do.

About: I am a recently retired public health specialist with time on my hands, flexibility, and a love for dogs. I volunteer at the animal shelter and have some basic training experience. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care any day of the week. I am especially up for early morning walks if housesitting. I will walk, water and feed your pets according to their schedule and your instructions. I also cook pet food if a special diet is needed, and provide medications. I can manage plants and will treat your house and space with privacy and respect. I have my own transport.

Patricia A.
“I had the wonderful experience of having Patricia Adams take care of my dogs(Doug & Lola) several times in the past two years. I know that she will care for my dogs as I would. I am quite comfortable with Patricia caring for my dogs, as she really relates to each ones individually, dedicated in doing whatever you ask of her whether it be walking or playing with your dogs, and caring for their well-being as if they were her own while we are away. Along with pet sitting, she goes above and beyond to ensure that your home is safe by checking to ensure doors are locked, windows are closed/locked, and a general walk thru of the whole house, which gives me much peace of mind. Also, she has been available to work with my schedule and at short notice. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone looking for pet sitting/walking services, because she is wonderful and dedicated with pets and is dependable. Thank you Patricia Adams Theresa Cdebaca (gooly77@gmail.com)”
