“Amazing folks! Browning is high energy and came home so calm and rested well from his time spent with Courtney and Ryan. We took comfort when Courtney and Ryan reached out to let us know how Browning was doing. Hat's off to these folks and the good work they do and cuddles that they give. We will be frequent flyers to St Thomas with our first stop to Courtney and Ryan's house.”

“Trudie was great with Penelope and kept me updated with photos and texts to let me know how things were going while I was away. I could relax knowing my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I will definitely be booking Trudie again!”

“Gudrun was able to accommodate our last minute request and was incredibly understanding of our unique situation. Our cat Tank was well cared for and loved. We received pictures and updates throughout his stay which made our separation easier. All in all it was a great experience and we would recommend Gudrun without hesitation. Thank you for caring for our furbaby, Tank is planning a return visit later this year.”

Oreo was safe, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and patience during his stay. Amy was very kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole booking. We truly appreciated all of her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you again, Amy!”

About: I’m currently studying animal science and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I also volunteer as a veterinary assistant in clinics, where I’ve gained skills in animal handling, health monitoring, and basic care. Additionally, I spent time in Costa Rica working with animals, which helped me build confidence with different breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m a student with a flexible schedule. I plan my days around classes, which allows me to dedicate consistent time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m available mornings, evenings, and most weekends, and I always make sure pets get reliable attention and care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine when caring for pets in any home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep spaces clean and secure, and pay close attention to behavior and health. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m confident handling pets calmly and recognizing any concerns early. I always aim to create a stress-free, loving environment.
About: I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality. I follow instructions carefully, keep owners updated, and make sure pets stay comfortable in their environment. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, and keeping pets calm and happy while their owners are away. I’m home and available most days, so your pet will never feel alone—plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles! Open to discussing weekend availability. I have a large fenced in area where our dog loves to run and play. I enjoy walks and lots of time outdoors. Also enjoy playtime and snuggles.

About: Despite only having experience with my own dog, I loved and cared for him for 18 of his 20 years.

“Jenn is an amazing caring dog person! She is very friendly and responsive. We could tell by the pictures she sent that Hazel was having a great time! Highly recommend Jenn and we will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always felt natural to me. I previously worked at PetSmart, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That role taught me the importance of routine, safety, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the small details that keep pets healthy and happy. By profession, I’m currently a teacher, which means patience, responsibility, clear communication, and reliability are at the core of what I do every day. I’m used to being trusted with what matters most to people, and I bring that same level of care and accountability to looking after pets. Until recently, I was the proud owner of a Siberian Husky who lived an incredible life right up to the age of 13. Caring for him through all stages of life — from high-energy younger years to senior care — gave me deep experience with exercise needs, mental stimulation, grooming, and adapting routines as pets age. He was truly family, and his long, happy life means the world to me. I work as a teacher therefore have a set schedule, get home at a reasonable time, and can easily predict when I am available for your pets! I live in a house, drive, and am flexible with how I can support your pets while you are away. I am willing to work with you to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible.
