Sonya is great with communication and replies quickly, showed up early and stayed in touch multiple times throughout the day sending pictures of our boys. We'll definitely be reaching out again in the future!

10/10 would let her dog sit again. Came back to my home cleaner somehow and some very happy doggos. Really good communication, even when I'm in the backcountry with no signal. You can definitely trust her with your home and pets.

About: Do you find yourself busy on the weekends? Or exhausted after a long day of work? Is it raining or snowing and all you want to do is kick back and relax? Whatever you’ve got going on, I’ve got you. I have a true love for dogs and enjoy walking them anytime during the day. I have grown up around dogs and am very intuitive to their needs. I am laid back and responsible and I will keep your fur baby safe and happy on our walks together! I also love to brush cats and dogs, especially when they need to have their spring/winter coats brushed out! I have an open schedule! I love to take care of my cats daily and also take care of my friends dog when they are away on work trips. My routine involves a long walk in the morning usually but I’m also known to enjoy an evening walk. I have flexible scheduling! I have a fenced in yard that I can play fetch with your dog. I live with cats and ensure they are well fed, groomed and happy. I love playing with cats and dogs. I have a talent for encouraging cats and dogs to eat as well if they need enticing. I love to take long walks in nature.

Autumn spent a week with Julie and her family and she had a great time! It was the first time we left her with someone outside our family and it was such a relief to know she was in good hands and in a family setting. She is definitely going to miss Julie’s dog Coco!

About: I've been a pet parent for about 14 years. Currently, I have 2 dogs and a cat, and they are my whole world 🩷 Whether it’s energetic dogs or independent cats, I will adjust my care to fit their needs. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel loved and safe in their own space. My goal is simple: you leave with peace of mind, and ensure your pets are happy and cared for. I work full-time in the legal field, and work from home 4 days of the week. If needed (and depending on distance of course), I can jump offline throughout the day to check in on your fur babes. Otherwise, my general day to day routine after work consists of the gym and hanging out with my own fur babies (and the husband when he's not out working on his trucks). I will treat every visit like I’m spending time with my own babies (lots of love, patience, and fun). I will stick to your pet’s regular feeding schedule, walking, play routines, give them extra attention, and make sure they’re feeling happy and cared for. I’ll keep your home just as you left it and send you photo updates so you can relax knowing everything’s going smoothly.

About: I have owned animals since I was a kid. I just recently had my dog pass away and I am very keen on looking after your fur baby like they were my own! My passion is to work with animals. I currently live in an apartment so I’m looking for dog walks or dog sits but once I have a house I will be open to boarding!! As long as your dog gets along with other animals I will be able to allow them in my home ☺️ I do live in an apartment but constantly go outside as I have a dog of my own. I also go on trail walks around the area and can take them to the dog park if allowed.

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.

Katie was seriously so great. Our dog has a list of needs, and she handled all of them amazingly! Our dog Koda is reactive to people, the TV, and other animals and he is on 2 types of medication. He can be very hard to handle without the right knowledge or patience. Katie came in and stayed 2 nights with him and he did great. Koda loved her and probably wouldnt have minded if she stayed longer! She left our home clean and our dog well cared for. I would recommend her 1000x over. If you want an amazing dog walker/sitter Katie is the way to go!!

About: I have lived and worked in a CKC Registered dog kennel growing up, very familiar with taking care of English Bulldogs and Frenchies specifically. I have also been a pet sitter for many family members with all different breeds, friends and coworkers over the years. I have experience with many dog breeds small to large, cats, small-animals and reptiles. I work part-time, I have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, hangouts, and home pet sitting for how ever many days may be needed in your home! I have a fenced in yard that is easily accessible even for a older dog that may have mobility issues, I am familiar with every dog park in the city, or I can take them on a hike through one of our many parks and trails. Keeping it laid back is also perfect, a roam around the neighborhood where you're located is a great option also!

Katelyn was fantastic house sitting our dog for 2 days. We've never left our dog with a stranger before and our dog generally struggles with us being away but she felt so comfortable with Katelyn, which says a lot about Katelyn's personality and her genuine love and care for dogs. Katelyn was responsible, attentive, made sure that she knew our dog's routines, and followed through with several particular instructions pertaining to our dog. She also was wonderful in sending us updates and pictures of our dog and we could see how well our dog bonded with her. We truly felt that our dog was well cared for. I definitely will be using Katelyn again in the future and I completely recommend her to anyone who's looking for a considerate and responsible dog sitter!

Appreciated Dannie’s ability to work around my changing schedule. Dannie was terrific in responding to messages and coming out to meet the crew and go over their routines and various aspects of the house. Dannie was also terrific with the 3 cats and sent me photos and updates. They are indoor outdoor cats and she managed that well plus keeping the bird feeder topped up. Washing was done before I arrived home to a home cooked meal and some lovely flowers. I would highly recommend Dannie. A responsible and caring sitter. You will feel comfortable and confident leaving her to be in charge.
