“I am so very thankful that we have found Dallas as a sitter for our Lacy! Yesterday our puppy was sick and Dallas was incredible. She even offered to take Lacy to the vet if she needed to be seen. She sent regular updates and was always kind and understanding over my worry about Lacy! I am so thankful for her and trust her completely with my girl! Thank you!”

“Leigha is the absolute best! It was such a relief having her stay with Finley while we were away. He had an amazing time, and we loved getting all the cute updates. Knowing Finley was happy and well cared for gave us total peace of mind. We can’t recommend Leigha enough!”
3. Walter B.
“We left our fur family with Walter while we were gone for a week, the longest we have left everyone with someone who wasn’t family. We felt at ease so quickly - Walter arrived right on time and sent many updates and photos through the week so we could stay connected with what was happening back home. Our home was just as we left it when we came back, and we won’t hesitate to have Walter come back to watch everyone again! Thank you Walter!”

We will definitely be using her services again!”
8. Elle S.
About: Hey, I'm Elle! I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old, and I'm now a proud dog mom to my stubborn boy, Brutus. I have years of experience walking and sitting dogs of all ages and personalities. Brutus has anxiety on walks, especially around other dogs, so I understand how to handle different temperaments with care and patience. With five siblings and four additional family dogs, I've always been the go-to sitter and walker when they're busy. I treat every dog I care for as my own, like the playful, loving children they often are! As a college student studying social work, I know how busy life can get. You can count on me to provide reliable, loving care for your furry family member, whether they need extra attention as a puppy or a little extra love as a senior. Let me help make your week easier and your pup happier! I have an extremely flexible schedule, making pet care one of my top priorities! I attend 2-hour classes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with an online class on Friday. I've taken a break from my part-time job to focus solely on studying and, of course, providing loving care to pets. With my own car, I can easily travel to you, and I am usually free on weekends. On Sundays, I attend church from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, but I am available before and after. I'd love to help care for your furry friend whenever you need it! I understand how important it is to feel secure when someone is caring for your pets in your home. I'm committed to maintaining your trust by treating your home with utmost respect, keeping it clean and tidy, and adhering to any boundaries or house rules you set. I will bring my own food, so you won't need to worry about accommodating me. I thrive on schedules and rules but am also adaptable if anything unexpected arises. I'll have my phone with me at all times and am happy to send updates, photos, Facetime, or chat to keep you in the loop and ease your mind. I also understand it can feel a little strange having a stranger in your home. I can assure you I take this responsibility seriously. I will NEVER have anyone over, will NOT share your address, and will always treat your space with care and professionalism. Your pet(s) and home will be in safe, loving hands.

10. Austin M.
“My cattle dog can be a bit nervous around men but she instantly liked Austin and I know she is well looked after when I'm away. Would recommend”
11. Kira O.
“Please consider Kira for your pet sitting needs. She is very well versed in taking care of cats and dogs. I have seen first hand how great she is with her own cats and her dog Aurora who is definitely more like her baby. She's very attentive and intuitive to her own animals and she will treat your pets as if they were her own. Of that I am sure.”
12. Megan T.
“"I can't recommend Megan highly enough for her incredible dog walking and sitting services! She is truly a natural with dogs, and my leonberger absolutely adores her. Not only is she reliable and punctual, but she also goes above and beyond to make sure my dog, Athena, gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Whether it's a long walk or an overnight stay, I always feel completely at ease knowing my Athena is in such capable and loving hands. Megan has a special way of understanding each dog's unique needs and personality, and it really shows in how happy and well-cared-for my dog is whenever I come home. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and treats them like their own, Meganis the best choice!"”
13. Meghan V.
“I cannot recommend Meghan enough! I am extremely grateful to be able to trust someone to lovingly take care of my energetic pup, Luna. Meghan has watched my dog many times, and she is so reliable and loving with her. Meghan is patient, kind and you can clearly see her love for animals. Meghan is is attentive, and always makes sure Luna is well taken care of!”

About: Ive had dogs since I was a child, used to them being around and love hanging out with them. I’m very comfortable when it comes to dogs. I work part time, so I’m available a lot to take care of your dogs. I’m also very active and can’t wait to go for walks in the winter and the summer. I feel comfortable taking all steps necessary to keep your dog safe. Using a crate if necessary, or whatever else you need to me to do.
18. Kaitlin E.
“Kaitlin house sat for our two little dogs. We had never had anyone house sit before and Kaitlin surpassed our expectations. She was kind, attentive and very caring towards our two doggies. She sent photos and video updates regularly. She was a wonderful house guest. She left the apartment clean and tidy when we came home and was very respectful living in our space. Our dogs loved her - we have two rescues one of which is very timid and she warmed up to Kaitlin almost instantly. We will definitely be using Kaitlin again!”
19. Kaushalyaa N.
“Kaushalyaa, who also goes by Melissa, is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. Her expertise extends beyond just dogs and cats; she’s also great with fish and birds. My dog, Luna, struggles with attachment and abandonment issues, making her wary of new faces. However, Melissa approached our initial meeting with incredible patience, quickly winning Luna over after just one session! While I was away, Melissa ensured Luna was well-fed, walked, and engaged with plenty of enrichment activities. She also took fantastic care of my four fish tanks and devoted time to my cockatiels and budgies. Due to work commitments, I hadn’t been able to give my birds their usual free roam time, and I noticed they were becoming more reserved. After spending time with Melissa, they’ve come alive again, showing more energy and singing joyfully! I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. I look forward to engaging with her services again!”
20. Kayla C.
“Our Boys always enjoy hosting Kayla, and her son, Declan, when he joins her. She’s punctual, obviously loves dogs, and communicates regularly before and during the engagement.”
