1. Angel K.

“Angel did a wonderful job with house sitting/pet sitting for me for a week. Plenty of updates and pictures and clear communication. She went above and beyond for my boys and I am very grateful. I will definitely be using her services in the future and would definitely recommend Angel if you want peace of mind while you're away from your pets.”


2. Ashley B.

“Ashley is the best. I needed someone to house sit for my two dogs and she took amazing care of them. She was super attentive and responsible which made me feel very at ease while on vacation.”


3. Shannon C.

“Shannon is an amazing sitter who took really great care of our babies! They took to her right away and just adore her. I couldn’t be happier that we found her!”


4. Cheyenne G.
“My sister does a great job when she's over to dogsit my German Shepherd, Bear. He's super needy and requires a lot of attention, but she has no problem wearing him out. She also cat sits for my wife and I and does a wonderful job making sure they're well taken care of. Bear absolutely loves her and often tries to go home with her afterwards.”


5. Ali V.

“Ali did such a good job of watching Riley and gave a thorough overview of how he did when I came back. She made sure she knew what he needed before I left too.”


6. Alexis C.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Alexis took amazing care of Duke while I was away, providing plenty of love, attention, updates, and even sent pictures. It was clear from the start that she truly cared about my Duke, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”


7. Caidan R.
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was a kid and grew up aspiring to be a vet. I’ve had a lot of experience with hyper puppies, big dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and many more. I’ve done volunteer work at petting farms, raised rescues, and cared for animals ranging from pigs to Guinea pigs. I currently love and care for my own farm animals + my two cats. I regularly sit for neighbors and friends and am now looking for more opportunities with this app! I don’t have a full time job so i’m devoting all my time to this and can be very flexible if needed. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! My time is devoted to your pets and their needs. I am available for caregiving weekdays and weekends between 11am-10pm. Can be flexible if needed! Your pet will be cared for and watched attentively with every instruction followed with careful observance. If needed I can also easily crate and handle strong dogs.

10. Lindsey C.
About: I have two dogs who are often spoiled with hikes, snuffle mats, sniff work, yard activities, special treats and some basic training. I'd love to spoil your pup in the same ways while we all hang out! I walk my dogs almost every day. And on days I can't I make sure we do extra indoor activities or play extra in the Yard and maybe go for an extra car ride. First, I follow any instructions given by dog parents. I have a very large unfenced yard. Murphy is trained with a shock collar because he is a runner. My other dog doesn't run and doesn't need it. We have extra collars if you would like to go that route, or leash only in yard, or your dog can run free if they are well behaved and do not run. I also have a live tracker that can be put on collar for extra safety.


11. Tori K.

“Tori did a terrific job staying in our house and taking care of our dog. She sent updates and photos and stayed in touch. I would recommend her use her services again.”




12. Zackery K.

“All went well, Basco is in really happy spirits and was well taken care of. Zach was able to take care of my dog on fairly short notice with little back and forth e-mails or drama.”


13. Maysa C.


“Maysa was incredible with our dog Turtle! She took great care of him and kept us in the loop and sent amazing pictures! Definitely recommend!”


14. Ellie H.

“We just moves here from out of state and was nervous about leaving our dogs for a week. Ellie did a great job with our senior babies. She went above and beyond with shampooing our carpet when our dog had an accident on the floor. Our dogs are 15 and 13 and are quite needy and she made sure they were well taken care of. We would use her again”


15. Evelyn H.

“Evelyn was super friendly and respectful, on time, followed directions, and did a great job taking care of Ruby! Ruby is looking forward to her next visit with Evelyn on July 4th! 😁”


16. Meghan B.

“By far the best sitter we have ever had! We were in a pinch when we got scammed from another sitter, and we asked Meghan to watch our pups last minute for 9 days. She quickly accepted and came over the same day we contacted her. She was great with our home and our dogs…she sent daily updates, checked our mail, and even cleaned the house up a bit. Such a great sitter, we will always see if she is available first from now on! Thank you Meghan!!”


17. Misty R.
“Misti loves animals of all kinds and I would trust her complete to care for my own pets more then any one I know. Misti is very responsible kind and caring.”

19. Sierra A.
About: Hello! My name is Sierra and I am a genuine lover of all pets! I have experience in 4-H with chickens, rabbits, and goats. I have personal experience with cats and dogs in my own home for over 8 years. I have experience working with cats at Royal Canin in grooming, litter box changes, socialization, clean up, and feedings. I can do just about anything with animals from feeding birds all the way to walking dogs or cats. I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is I have both professional and personal experience with cats and dogs. I currently live in Eaton, OH but I'm willing to travel up to 15-20 miles to care for any pet of any kind. Thank You! I currently work part time and can provide care Tuesday through Wednesday, Friday evenings, most Saturdays and every Sunday. I will work 1 Saturday a month, but we can schedule around that. I put the safety of the animal on a priority, we will make sure it's safe to take a walk, go outside, and that the pet is given the bear card possible.

“Whitney always took care of our cat while we were gone for trips. We knew he was well taken care of because he would lose his meowing voice when we didn't have him checked on everyday. He was always happier and taken care of. Even though cats take care of themselves, the human attention and love Whitney provided was superb.”
