“Allison took great care of my dog. I felt at ease leaving my dog with her for a long trip. Her dogs are great with other dogs. I wasn’t so sure how my dog was going to be around cats. Even her cat seemed very calm around other dogs. Thank you for taking care of Reina! 😊🙏”


“Delihla did such a great job taking care of Aspen! She was very quick to respond to messages and always sent me photos and an update in the morning. Aspen had a blast at her house and I will definitely be booking Delihla again!”


“Suzanne was amazing! After talking to her about our dogs and their needs, I knew 100% that she was the right person. We have a senior dog (14 years old) and a 6 year old with an unfortunate past and has many triggers. Both of them took to her right away as she is such a warm, kind person - I immediately felt comfortable leaving them with her. She took them on beautiful hikes and sent some pictures to us which was greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Suzanne!”


“Dawn was amazing! She welcomed our two dogs into her home, allowing them space to become comfortable. Her dog was sweet and was patient with ours. She accommodated them with multiple potty breaks throughout the day and let them enjoy couch snuggles. We would recommend her anytime!”



“Johnnie, and her husband, were amazing while boarding Mindo. They are very responsible, had good communication, sent us plenty of photos/videos of Mindo. It’a easy to see how much love Johnnie has for the little furry ones and how much Mindo enjoyed spending time with her. Mindo had regular exercise with her and even went to explore the outdoors.”

“Thanks, Melissa for taking such great care of my boy, Connor. I appreciate the communication and updates about him throughout the time he was there. Definitely eased my worries about him and I know he was safe and having a good time.”


“Hope and her family were absolutely fantastic! She was extremely accommodating, as it was a late notice booking. It was clear immediately that her experience made her a fantastic sitter. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs, particularly huskies, which was very important for me, as she kept my three year old husky. He has separation anxiety (and let’s be honest, leaving our fur babies is hard on us too!), but Hope went leaps and bounds to make sure he was loved on and felt safe. She sent me lots of updates, pictures, and videos. Atticus left her care having made some fantastic friends with their dogs. Anytime Atticus needs taken care of, Hope will be the first call I make! Do your fur babies and yourself a favor—book with Hope! ??”

About: Hello, pet parents! My name is Brianne & I am an experienced pet care provider with a passion for all creatures, big and small. What sets me apart from other sitters? Well, I have a wide range of experience caring for various animals, including chickens, goats, dogs, lizards, bunnies, and more. With a diverse portfolio of pets under my care, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different species. Whether your furry friend requires a leisurely walk or a cozy cuddle session, I am here to provide top-notch care tailored to your pet's individual preferences. Rest assured that your beloved animal companions will be treated with the utmost love, respect, and attention while in my care. So, if you're looking for a dedicated pet sitter who can handle any critter that comes their way, look no further! I can't wait to meet your furry, scaly, or feathered friends and become their new favorite caregiver. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate the specific needs and schedules of pet owners, whether it's daily dog walks, feeding visits, or any other pet care services required. I ensure that I allocate dedicated time each day or week to care for pets, providing them with the attention, love, and care they deserve. By incorporating pet care into my routine, I am able to balance my passion for animals with my work schedule, ensuring that furry friends receive the care and companionship they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety and well-being above all else. Here are some steps I take to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your beloved animals: 1. Secure the Home: I make sure all doors, windows, and gates are securely closed to prevent pets from escaping or getting into hazardous situations. 2. Pet-Proofing: I remove any toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could pose a choking hazard to pets. 3. Supervision: I closely monitor pets during playtime, meals, and outdoor excursions to prevent accidents or injuries. 4. Identification: I ensure that all pets have proper identification tags with up-to-date contact information in case they were to wander off. 5. Emergency Preparedness: I have a list of emergency contacts, including your veterinarian's information, on hand in case of any unforeseen medical issues. 6. Regular Updates: I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed of your pet's well-being and activities while you're away. By following these safety precautions and providing attentive care, you can trust that your pets are in good hands with me in your home.


About: Hi! My name is Chesnut. I’m kind and compassionate and will love caring for your furry buddy. I have grown up taking care of my family’s dogs and have two of my own for the last five years. P.s. If you have a really active dog, I love taking dogs on runs or hikes or long walks. I work from home so available all week long. On weekends my husband and I tend to go hiking, so if the dogs enjoy hikes we will take them, but if not then we can adjust our schedules. We have an unfenced yard for potty breaks (leashed), but will take the dogs to the local dog park for exercise or on leashed walks/hikes.

About: Grew up in Florida around a lot of wildlife. Owned dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes fish etc. I love and respect all animals. I can sit in your home or mine. I didn't have fenced yard but acres of private land and can take out in leash. Available 24/7 if needed. I have 4 year old Italian Greyhound retired service dog who gets along with everyone and everything... No worries there. Please make sure your pet is NOT AGGRESSIVE. I am retired therefore my schedule is very flexible. I can stay during the day, night or even overnight if I am needed at that location. I live in condo and cannot board animals. I am willing to stay in clients homes with or without my dog being with me there

“Katy was great! She was very communicative and willing to flexible about drop off time/location. She sent some updates and pics of Bender, and he was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”

I can do things that most animal caretakers aren’t comfortable with, such as administer medications, light training, cleaning, bathing, grooming, even go pet shopping if needed! I will treat your babies as my own 😊 I have a huge yard & I live a few miles from a park with a walking trail.

Tabatha T.
“I am writing a testimonial regarding Tabatha K. She is a very loving and caring person. She loves animals of all kinds. She has a dog named Copper and she just adores him. She also has taught him several commands and she takes the time to get a feel for the animal. She is honest and respectful and would do a wonderful job with any pet. She is also very concerned with animal safety. So whether she would be caring for a pet or out on a walk, she would always consider that pets safety first. If she feels that something isn't right, then she would make the decision to get the animal to safety. I would feel very confident to let Tabatha care for my furbaby.”
