“Matt is responsive and punctual. He goes above and beyond and has updated his house and yard to be the best pup party zone ever! My dog and I are glad we found him.”


“Myrna is a great sitter. She has taken excellent care of Starbuck. We have scheduled doggie day care and boarding. Myrna's schedule is flexible and she works with us on drop off and pickup times. We will continue to use Myrna's services.”


“Julie was so accommodating and sweet with our little Lola. Having a backyard to run around in was great! We’ll definitely be having Julie watch Lola anytime we are headed out of town!”


“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”


“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”


About: My wife and I had a successful dog-sitting business using a different app for years. Your pet will be well cared for. If they are on a special diet, no problem. I am organized and will ensure your pet is well-fed, walked, and playing. My wife and I are working from home so we will be happy to set your pet for you while you vacation or just want to take a little break. Your pet will be able to chill and relax or we can go to the near by dog park to get rid of that puppy energy. I have an open schedule. I work as a Lyft driver and have a side business. I have plenty of time to walk and play with the pets we care for. We ha e a fenced in large yard with plenty of space for the dogs to run and play in. They always enjoy playing and running in the yard.

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”


“Elizabeth was amazing with Tater. He’s a puppy and, while the goodest of boys, takes some energy and a little patience. She even exposed him to her cat and gave us a full report on how he did with Miso so we’d know for future bookings. She was super flexible with our timing heading to/from Story Land with the kiddos and kept us up to date on what our littlest dude was up to while we were crushing the Polarcoaster.”


About: Hi, I’m Leah – your pups new favorite person! As someone who has previously owned/inherited 3 dogs, I know how hard it is to leave your best friend with anyone that’s not you. That’s why I don’t take this responsibility lightly—your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort come first! I grew up with dogs and have spent my life around wagging tails and unconditional love. Whether your pup loves long walks FULL of sniffs, tug-of-war, or just cuddles on cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and at home. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs in the past—including my own—so I really understand how important it is to create a calm, safe space where they can feel secure. I know every pup is different, and I always lead with patience, empathy, and lots of love. Think of me as your dog’s vacation buddy while you're away💕 I work from home and am mostly always home during the evenings. I don’t have meetings too much so I can take your pup out and about as many times as you’d like. I have an apartment but live right beside a green space. I also love taking pups on car rides so happy to take them on hikes or go to the river!

“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”


“Brodie had another wonderful stay with Raye! As always, Raye was communicative and shared lots of updates throughout the day. Thank you, Raye! We are so appreciative of the peace of mind you provide.”


About: I've been passionate about dogs and animals since I was 12 years old. Over the years, I've had the joy of caring for my own furry friends and have gained extensive experience through volunteering at animal shelters. I also frequently help out my neighbors by taking care of their dogs and other pets. I'm dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for all animals in my care. Your dog will have a great time with my pup and me, enjoying playtime, exercise, and lots of affection as I work from home full time. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly schedule. I work from home full-time, five days a week, which allows me to be present and attentive to your dog's needs throughout the day. My own dog wakes up around 9 AM and goes to sleep around 10 PM, so your pup will have company and care during these hours. I ensure plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, creating a structured yet fun environment for all dogs in my care. With my flexible schedule and home-based work setup, your dog will always have the companionship and supervision they need. Caring for pets in my home is a joy and a priority. I have a large, fenced-in yard with ample room for running and playing, ensuring that your dog gets plenty of exercise and outdoor fun. My friendly dog loves to play and socialize, providing a built-in playmate for your pup. Inside, I have a spacious house with plenty of room for dogs to explore and relax. There are multiple dog beds, an abundance of treats, and a variety of toys to keep them entertained and comfortable. I make sure each pet feels at home, with lots of love, attention, and care throughout their stay.

About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life (1 Husky and 1 Malamute) growing up and I’ve done pet sitting for dogs of all sizes since I was 13. I’ve even raised a Pitbull puppy from 8 weeks until they were 3 years old with a former partner until they had to move away for work with our dog in tow. I still see them sometimes and have missed him ever since! I work from home full-time 9 to 5 Monday through Friday with plenty of autonomy throughout my day, so caring for your pet is no problem! My weekends are largely free, and I’m quite a homebody other than my daily walks. I loved grooming my previous dog daily when I owned him with my previous partner. Also, I have a small dog park right downstairs from my condominium. I love giving dogs attention/playtime when they need it but am cognizant of when they need alone time!

“Michaela's great! I contacted her the night before I needed a sitter for my 5 month old puppy, and she got back to me very quickly that she was available. She worked with my schedule and was a huge help in a pinch. I checked in with her a couple times during my pup's stay and she replied with updates and pictures. Thanks, Michaela!”

Leah W.
“Leah is a wonderful person and an outstanding pet caregiver! When she adopted a fearful rescue dog, she showed him nothing but love and patience and taught him how to be comfortable around others. She continues to give him an amazing life, and I know she would do just the same for any other pet that she was responsible for. I would absolutely trust her with my own pets- she is responsible and caring, and any pet would be lucky to have her company.”

Michelle H.
“Michelle would watch my dog a few days a week while my partner and I were at work. Her own dog, Zoey, is incredibly well behaved and the two play together very well, with plenty of space to play and they're always well monitored. Any special requests with needing to feed her, picking up later or earlier than expected or otherwise were always accommodated. Michelle is nothing short of an exceptional dog sitter and I would recommend her highly to anyone who needs their pet watched.”
