“Morgan is GREAT!!! My dog Lena is old, uses pads...usually (I mean, it can be a timing thing)...and uses them often. Morgan was so kind to her - changing the pads lots, trying different foods out when she was picky..and letting me relax while away as I could see Lena was with someone kind. I'll totally use her again and for longer trips! :-) I definitely recommend her. She left everything super clean and organized by the way (BONUS!!). YAY MORGAN!!!”


“Alex was fantastic with our dog Livvy for a long 10 days stay. Livvy seemed happy and well cared for as did our house. Alex sent lots of updates and was easy to communicate with. Will certainly have her stay again!”


“Michelle and Ken were great. One of our cats is very high maintenance with feeding and medications, and they handled her wonderfully. They left our house in better shape than they found it, and they communicated with us frequently while we were away. Highly recommend!”


“Moriah was all-around fantastic! She gave good, clear communication and took wonderful care of our senior cat, Mr. G. Having her housesit was such a relief when we were far from home. I would absolutely book her again!”


“These guys were fantastic. Great communication and they took great care of our puppy. Thanks again!”


“Alyssa was wonderful!! She was very easy to communicate with and we felt really comfortable leaving our pup with her. We loved all the updates and pictures!”


“Alissa was very good with communicating. I had to cancel last minute, unexpected health issues. She was so understanding. I will contact her for any future appointments!”


“Sue was a great dogsitter! She took our dog on car rides (which she loves!) and sent an update and picture every day. We would absolutely recommend booking with her!”


“Peter and Sarah are very nice people and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog for 11 days with them. They do not work outside the home, so they are available most of the day. They took great care of my house (even watering my extensive garden which was above and beyond). Can't recommend them highly enough.”


“I am so very grateful that Larry was able to stay at our home and take care of our cat and dog over the holidays — with a *very* last-minute booking, no less! Our cat clearly really trusted him (which doesn’t always happen so quickly) and I really appreciated the efforts he took to play with the cat. Larry also went above and beyond in making sure that my very active dog got plenty of exercise. He took her to a variety of dog parks for hours at a time and I think she was living a much better life with Larry than she does with me! :) I got great updates when I was away and the house was clean and welcoming when I returned. I didn’t get to meet Larry (and Betty!) until the end of their stay, which further speaks to their flexibility — their original “meet and greet” was with the pet sitters I had staying at my home right before them. They were so friendly and professional, and had clearly bonded with my pets — I’d certainly recommend them to others. THANK YOU!”


About: Being a long time animal lover, I love spending my time walking and training dogs. I’ve worked at various animal hospitals, doggy daycares, and boarding facilities. I am willing to travel, and it would be a great perk if my 3 year old lab could come play or walk with your pup as well! My schedule is very flexible. I am willing to travel, and am open to schedule changes to work with your needs as well. I can do holidays as well as weekends with a planned notice. All I want is for your pet to feel comfortable and have a great time playing and/or going for a walk. Engaging shy/fearful dogs with toys and treats is always a great way to earn trust.

“My dog loves Mark! He is great - very responsive and responsible! Sends me updates and photos and my dog seems to be very happy when Mark stays with him.”


“Lexi did a great job taking care of my girls. She communicated very well during the stay my girls were both happy. I would definitely book Lexi again.”


“Chelsey was great! I needed to find someone on short notice and she did the job for me. My dogs warmed up to her right away and she touched base with me and responded to my messages while she was watching them. I felt really comfortable leaving my dogs and my home in her hands”


“Claudia is a truly caring, energetic, thoughtful and responsible pet sitter. While staying with our dog and cat, she quickly learned their personalities and went the extra mile (or several extra in the case of the dog!) to respond to their needs, emotional as well as physical. She sent daily reports along with photos and video clips so we could see how the animals interacted with her - they were clearly happy. Claudia also took excellent care of the house and got to know the neighborhood which helped our pets maintain their routines. I have no hesitation in recommending Claudia as a trustworthy - and fun - pet and house sitter.”


About: From big dogs to turtles I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own. I have pet sat multiple times for big energetic dogs, as well as timid ones and every experience has been great. Excited to meet your fluffer I am currently working full-time as a gardener (7am-4pm). I can let your dog(s) out early in the morning and immediately after work. Weekends I’m free the whole day! I will follow the exact instructions you give me to take care of your pet, no matter how detailed. I also love going outside to run around and play fetch with your pupper - making sure they get all the exercise they need.

“Ric was great. Our dogs loved him and he is just a all around good guy. I would recommend him to anyone unreservably. We will see Ric again one day.”


About: I can’t recall a time in my life there wasn’t an animal around, all shapes and all sizes. I have been there assisting in home births, to training bird dogs. Years of hands on experience and knowledge to better handle and care for my animals and yours. Open to requests, fairly flexible schedule. Weekdays, Weekends, overnights or stop ins I’ve got you covered, can’t wait to build a relationship with you! =) From cleaning up messes to having them overnight, I am here to make your life easier and care free knowing your animals are safe with me.

About: Hello! My name is Darrion. I work at a veterinary hospital full time as a vet tech. My boyfriend Jake works from home full time so someone is always home. My passion is taking care of animals and working with them. I live in a home that has a fenced yard. I will not crate your pet unless you ask me to. I will offer play time and walks. I have lots of toys for your pet to play with. I do not smoke. I have experience giving medications, vaccinations, working with special needs dogs, and working with senior dogs. I have a lot of experience with pets that have medical problems. I will do whatever it takes for your baby to be happy and have a great time. Any special requests? I will try to fulfill them! I want your pet to feel like they're at home and I'll do whatever I can to make them feel that way! I work full time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Off Thursdays. Work one Saturday a month. When I'm off work, I'm available to be with your pet the entire day. When I'm at work, I'm unfortunately not available to be with your pet until I'm off work. BUT my boyfriend Jake works from home so he will be with your pet all day. My pets have free roam of my house at all times, even when I'm not home. If your pet is good free roaming at all times, even when someone isn't home, I'll definitely let them do that. If you prefer them to be in a crate when no one is home, I can do that. All pets are allowed on furniture, the bed, etc. I treat your pets as if they're my own.

About: Hi! We are Hannah and Abraham! Not only do we love dogs, we also know how to communicate and be responsible caregiver! We have 2 dogs of our own and the desire to better communicate with our dogs have naturally led me to study/take training classes to understand their language, their needs, and just to be a good and responsible dog parents. Hannah is good at understanding dog’s cue and quick at understanding what they are expressing, which is crucial when taking care of any dog. And Abraham is natural at playing with dog with different kinds of stimulating plays. We work remotely from home, which allows us to spend the whole day with the dogs. We think it’s a blessing, and we wanted to extend our cares to our neighbors. We can always be in the dog’s presence and actively engage with them(play, training, walk). We respect all dog owners and their boundaries. Personally we exclusively use positive reinforcement method, but if you have your own boundaries/method that you are working on let me know so we can best honor that during our boarding/daycare service. Being away from home for dogs can be very stressful. Our foremost priority is to let them ease into a new environment at their own pace. This is important especially if we take care of your pet recurrently- so we can build trust and our house becomes a place to rest and have fun, a place that dogs are excited to come back to. I am also very good with shy dogs. For Boarding service •I require everyone to bring their crate for safety reason (for under 20lbs dog we can provide a crate), it’s always better to give your pups an option to be in their own crate when they need space when away from home. And also, when I go to bed, they will be crated because I won’t be able to watch them so they stay safe. •You are required to bring your pup’s food. They might have allergy. •I let the dogs out for potty break every 3 hours. Let me know if your dog potty situation so I can accommodate.
