“Allie was a fantastic dog sitter for our very fearful adult dog. She was patient, loving, and persistent without pushing too much. We got lots of photos and videos while we were away, and we came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We feel so lucky to have found Allie and will definitely have her dog and house sit again in the future.”
“Our dogs loved Anne and Joaquin! We were a little nervous to leave them for so long but Anne and Joaquin eased our anxiety with constant communication and pictures while we were gone for 2 weeks. We loved them and will definitely use again and would totally recommend.”
“I will ask Joel and/or Ashley to house/pet sit in the future. I could immediately see they really care about the animals. Dobby, who has a lot of anxiety, was very chill when I got home from my trip. It was such a relief to see my brats so well cared for.”
“She did great with my dogs and there are a handful. She did what she said and took care of the house and was nice to come with it looking good. I will be using Rover and Kylie again! It was a tough job but she did great!”
About: I'm an assistant librarian who absolutely loves dogs, cats, and all other pets. I had two small dogs, Bella (a Chihuahua) and Scotty (a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix), who were my fur-babies for over 15 years. I also loved taking care of our family's Dalmatian, Spankie, and my desert tortoise, Cookie, when I was younger. I've dog-sat and dog-walked for friends and family for years, and I would be extremely happy to apply the same love I had for my own pets to yours, even if it's just for a moment during a walk. I currently work full time, Monday through Friday from 9 am - 5 pm. I am more than happy to fit pet care in the mornings or evenings on weekdays. I am available for weekends as well. I care for pets in the clients home based on their desired needs/requirements. I am happy to oblige to the client’s preference of where their pet may be in the home.
“Hands down the best thing would could’ve done was trust LaDawn with our kitties while out of town! We had never used an animal sitter or a boarding company before and were very torn between the two options. LaDawn made it a very easy decision for us and the boys were calm and comfortable when we arrived back just proving it.”
“Tarah out did herself again. I always come home to happy healthy kitties and my baby girl doggy Valentine. We hired Tarah for 5 nights. We got daily updates with pictures. And we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation with out any animal or house stress. Tarah is simply the best! Thank you so much Tarah!”

“Lexy seems like a very dependable pet-sitter, who really loves dogs! She was very respectful of our space and our flat-coat retriever was clearly VERY happy to see her when she came. That says a lot. Got regular pictures too and fast replies which was appreciated.”
“Griffin took care of my 2 rescue pups for an in-home pet sitting booking March, 2024. My pups had a rough start in life, and one of my girls is fearful of change. Griffin came for a meet & greet as well as 2 follow up visits at my request to ensure that the pups were comfortable and familiar with him. He stayed in my home and gave my girls a lot of time and TLC! It did not take my fearful gal long to know that Griffin was a lovable caregiver! Griffin followed my instructions carefully with feeding & treats. I came back to very calm pups. Griffin was very respectful of my home, which I appreciated! I highly recommend Griffin for your in-home or stop-by pet sitting needs!!”
“Jasmine stayed in our home with our rambunctious Labrador for 10 days. She kept us informed on his well-being during our trip, sending texts and photos throughout the trip. We came home to a happy dog and a neat and clean home. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend that you do too!”

“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time with housesitters, we have a dog that gets separation anxiety, and a cat with a strict diet. She and her fiance were great through the entire process.
