“Lauren took fantastic care of my dog (8 y/o pit-mix) while I was on vacation for 10 days! If you're looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend her! She was professional and communicative, leaving me confident my doggo was in good hands while I was away.”
“I would give Karen more than 5 stars if this app allowed! She looked after Jazz aka "Jazzu" our little Yorkie while we were out of town. Karen provided great care for our dog and kept us updated with pictures all the time 😊”

“Ruth did a great job caring for Ruby. She was very flexible with staying a bit longer to bridge a gap between sitters for me while I was traveling. Appreciate her help and will be sure to hire her again!”
“Bridget was wonderful. She came to do a walk thru and took thorough notes. She sent pics and updates at least once a day, but some days more. She was very easy going and was so understanding on our leave times and return times when they changed. This is only the second time I left my dog with due to fear of his well being and Bridget made me so comfortable, that I had a relaxing time on my trip and did not worry about GG. Bridget is who I will go to first from now on. Not that the other person was bad cuz they were great too, but Bridget does it in my home which I feel made GG a lot less stressed and way less anxiety and he got her undivided attention, which he loved!”
“Maya was amazing and will be my first pick for watching my animals from now on. Super professional, sent me updates, and I felt so at ease leaving my babies in her care. (Almost didn’t leave a review because I don’t want her to be too in demand!)”
“Jessie was great! She came over on short notice for a meet and greet (I believe it was the same day as the request). We have one sweet gentle giant, and one dog that's suspicious of everyone. Jessie was resourceful and even helped with training our troublemaker. I'm a nervous pet parent, so Jessie took lots of pictures and made me feel at ease while away from home. Very thankful for her help last minute!”
“Sarah was wonderful with our Groot. She did everything we asked and was fantastic in sending us updates and photos. She was excellent at communicating throughout the process. Upon meeting her, she displayed a demeanor that gave us great comfort that our girl would be well cared for. We highly recommend Sarah and look forward to her spending more time with our pup in the future.”
“Katherine was such a blessing! We needed someone last minute to take care of our dog while we went on a family vacation. She kept our house neat and tidy and kept Duncan very happy and loved while we were away. Also kept us in the loop with picture and text updates ? we will definitely be using her next time we’re away!”
About: I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. I volunteer at animal shelters every week and I started my own dog walking business when I was ten years old. I have a lot of experience with animals and I really enjoy spending time with all types of animals. I regularly donate to various shelters by holding bake sales yearly. I try to get involved in any way I can to help. I just graduated with my masters degree and plan to continue my academic career in veterinary medicine in the future. I love what I do and will take great care of your pet! I currently do not have a job so my schedule is open! I am available any hour of the day. Please contact me for more information. I prefer to go to the clients home. Please contact me for more information and I will be happy to answer any questions you have!
“Brea was a great dogsitter. We requested on relatively short notice and she was very responsive. She was communicative during the stay so we knew our dog was being well taken care of. We would be happy to book Brea again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve pet sat for more than 20 years and love getting to spend time with fur babies I work full time (8:30-5) and would be able to stop by over lunch to do a potty break. After work we play and cuddle! I make sure the pets are contained safely, per the owners instructions. I’m familiar with in ground fences, shock collars, and leash walking. I’m comfortable crating if that’s what the dogs are used to.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.
“Leigh was amazing with our sweet Golden as well as looking after our old farmstead while enjoyed a week away. She took care of everything and communicated daily with photos. She even handled the Hurricane impacts on the house with care. We were so pleased with all She did for us. Our pup was well cared for and clean upon our return. Highly recommend her services.”
