“Bella did an amazing job pet and house sitting for us while we took a short getaway for three nights. She was communicative throughout - which eased our minds as we had recently adopted one pup and this was our first time away. Our dogs - and cat! - were obviously well cared for upon our return, and Bella left the house in perfect order. Would easily recommend anyone to book her, and we hope she'll come back when we take our next adventure!”


“Emily watched all three of my dogs for two nights. She sent me photos to keep me updated through out the day and took time to play fetch with them. My dogs really like her and she is very professional. It gives me peace of mind when being away from them. I would recommend her and will be booking with her again.”


“Abrianna is truly exceptional! She cared for our two dogs with such love and attentiveness—it was like leaving them with family. Over the two days we were gone, she kept in regular contact, sending updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She walked them, played with them, and gave them all the attention they needed. We came home to happy pups and a spotless home. Highly, highly recommend!”



“Rachel took care of our little zoo while we were away and she did a spectacular job! She even let our pups sleep in bed with her so their routine wasn’t disrupted! She sent me many updates and constantly communicated with me which is always so so appreciated. We will definitely be using her again!!”


“Heather did an amazing job with my boy Palo Santo. He is a large German Shepherd but still has puppy energy only being 1.5 years of age. She sent pics and videos of them playing in our yard. He absolutely loved having her as his sitter. We also felt comfortable with her having access to our home and being respectful. Heather was attentive and reliable. I would absolutely give her 5 stars and will continue to use her in our home for future needs.”


About: I've been around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats, to rabbits and birds, even goats and turkeys. I'm always happy to be around them, and am more than willing to make sure they're happy as well. My family always knows who to call when they need the critters taken care of, no matter what. I currently have open availability, from morning to evening, and weekends are open to all. Nothing better to start the day than a walk with man's best friend. I can't board pets in my apartment, and depending on the dog/client wishes in question I tend to let them follow their normal routine. I always make sure that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and even more cats over the last 38 years. I love them and will love yours like my own. Semi retired looking forward to helping people out. I have a very flexible schedule and a very dog friendly home. We have one dog in the home sometimes too because I watch my daughter's dog. We have a big country yard, dogs would be monitored with a leash unless the dog is good at obeying commands. Big yard with walking trails.

About: I grew up on a farm and I have experience with multiple different breeds of animals. I take the time to listen to animals and their body language. I work part time. So i have plenty of extra time to spend and care for your fur baby. Im available Monday to Friday after 2pm and weekends! I have plent of yard space and easy access to walking tails and parks. I do have a dog friendly cat who can keep ur fur baby company

About: I am an animal lover. I have had cats my whole life and dogs for about 20 years total. My "children" are my 3 cats and German Shepherd. I will treat your animal like my own. I do home visits, home stays, and walks. Don't put off your vacation because you don't want to leave your beloved animals. Let me take care of them! Thank you! - Samantha I am currently a remote freelance graphic designer and this allows me to set my own schedule and have flexibility. My husband and I do not currently have children so that also allows me to have a more open schedule without interruptions. I am not a person who has pets without considering their needs and happiness. I play with them, make sure they get medical care, medication, and make sure they feel safe and loved with cuddle time. I know that having a pet is a responsibility and a privilege.

About: I have taken care of pets for a few years now. I have walked pets for neighbors, family. I also have watched plenty of dogs for neighbors family and friends! I am currently a student so I have time to visit dogs and let them outside and to play. Your dog will be my top priority! I will ensure the fence is locked as well as any rooms pets aren’t allowed in. I will always check the water before I leave as well as give them a potty break.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and love taking care of them. I work full time but my job allows for me to come home for breaks. I am on 2 week breaks and three to four month breaks through the year! Looking to fill my time as pets are my furkids! I work full time but it allows me to come home during my breaks to let pets out! Looking to care for more pets! ❤️❤️ I do not have a fenced yard but we do 3-4 daily walks a day. We go to dogs parks and hike as much as we can.

About: Hi, I’m Chris! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have spent years caring for pups of all kinds — from high-energy adventurers to laid-back couch companions. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’m here to give them the attention, care, and exercise they need while you’re away. Whether your dog loves a long, brisk walk or prefers a slower, sniff-filled stroll, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them happiest. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Regular walks do more than just burn energy — they help dogs stay healthy, ease anxiety, and keep them mentally sharp. Plus, it gives them a chance to explore, smell new things, and just enjoy being a dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and be a part of their daily routine! I do a lot of running and trail running so if you have an active dog, we could have a lot of fun. But I also enjoy slow paced walks and just enjoying the environment. As I have had inside/outside dogs most of my life, I will always contain pets into the areas that are available for them but not a caged containment unless needed.

About: I have lived on a homestead in Wisconsin with a variety of different animals for the last 6 years, during which time I have developed a deep love for the bonding that happens between humans and dogs. I have been relied on for a variety of needs from house sitting, dog walking, potty breaks and feeding for my friends and neighbors. The last year and a half I have taken a deeper dive into learning more about 'balanced dog training'. I have learned more intimately the balance of love and respect that comes when boundaries and discipline are maintained with our beloved pets. I am reliable, timely, and easy to talk to. I am here to listen to your needs and the needs of your furry friend. I am currently unemployed and seeking a full-time job. As such, I am very available to handle pet care needs of all kinds. Don't hesitate to reach out and schedule a meet and greet! I currently am unable to host pets in my own home. I am, however, able to sit at a clients home. I will treat your home better than I treat my own. I will ask questions and make sure we are on the same page about standards of care and I will take seriously the need for clear and open communication.
