“Our 1 year old dog had a lot of fun with Willow, Maggie’s dog, while we were away. We received pictures everyday and she kept us updated on the little things. She’ll definitely be sitting for us again!”
“Always super helpful and nice when I book with her. This was a last minute booking and I’m so thankful she was available. My dog has crazy anxiety and compared to the first time and this one she took barely any time to get used to Kaelin.”
“Brittany did a great job watching our golden retriever and was very polite and responsive. He was very happy with her company. We would love to have her come back and watch him again!”
“Madison was great! She took care of our dog, rabbit, and fish tanks for a week in our home and everything was in perfect shape when we came back. We got daily updates and photos of the animals and they all looked like they were having a great time. We will definitely have Madison back!”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter! She was flexible with my last minute changes and gave updates and pics. This helped my anxiety as my pup wasn’t feeling well when I left, so the reassurance was much appreciated!”
“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds for over 20 years, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. From tiny pups to senior dogs, I’ve helped with walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime—always with patience, love, and attention to their needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me time and time again to care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m confident, calm, and genuinely passionate about animals of every shape and size. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work a part-time job and also run my own pet care services, working closely with VIP clients and even a few politicians. I’m used to managing a flexible, yet reliable schedule that allows me to prioritize each pet’s needs with care and attention. Whether it's daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure every animal I care for feels safe, loved, and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I treat every pet like family, following their routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or playtime. Since I work with high-profile clients, I understand the importance of trust, privacy, and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always ensure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.
“Ashly was amazing with our 2 dogs. She stayed with them for about 11 days and we received multiple updates and photos from the time she was with them. She left our house in amazing condition as well and there were zero issues while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone!”

“Samantha was great with Murphy. She came to our home prior to her stay to meet Murphy and get to know his routine. She is kind, caring, and it's very obvious that she loves dogs. Samantha not only took care of Murphy, but also our home. She kept in daily contact and sent photos. She also washed all of the linens and dishes prior to leaving. We would definitely have Samantha back!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember, I love to take care of dogs and understand the attention and responsibilities required to take care of them. I hope I can help you with your pet care needs! I am currently out of school for the summer and looking for a side gig so I can take care of all of your dogs needs I can foster a safe environment while caring for your dogs by making sure everything is secure and send you regular updates of your pets if you’d like!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.
About: I have cared for dogs both as a child and adult. They are one of life’s joys and I really enjoy being with them all I am semi-retired and set my own schedule. This allows me to be available when needed with enough notice and planning. I am excited about this. I can crate if needed. I walk dogs at least one time a day and would feed according to the owner’s instructions. Not a problem.

Kaela w.
“Kaela has been my go-to dog sitter for many, many years. I have had a series of crazy Boston terriers, usually two at a time, and she has taken care of all of them with such love and attention. She's cared for them when they were truly crazy puppies, and when they were senior dogs who sometimes were hard of hearing and nearly blind. The dogs have sometimes been on special diets and often on medications that were different for each dog. I knew the dogs would get what they each needed, and no detail would be overlooked when they were in her care. It always eased my mind that she was with them because I knew they were getting the best love and snuggles and play possible. My preferred way to have a dog sitter is for the sitter to stay in my home and I knew with Kaela the house would be the same when I walked back in the door as it was when I left. Our dogs usually prefer to sleep with us and Kaela was even willing to share her bed with the little bed hogs. I can't say enough how much I rely on Kaela as my dog sitter, nor how much my dogs love her.”

“Tey is the bees knees really. I left for Italy for two weeks and had her stay in my home with my baby Stevie. She made sure he was well taken car and had his meds on time every day. We video chatted everyday. He was having the time of his life with her. I'd hire her one million times over.”
