Alexis did a great job. Maddy is an anxious dog. Alexis was patient with her and took really good care of her. The house looked great when we got home! 😃❤️

5 stars, as always! Blair is the perfect pet sitter, in my opinion! She keeps me well informed about my pets with friendly comments and pictures. She has been flexible with our changing schedule. In fact, she will be taking care of our pets and house again a few weeks from now! Thank you, Blair!

About: My mom used to take in foster animals, as well as rescue many, when I was growing up. So I've always been around different animals with different personalities. I'm particularly great with cats and dogs. I have over ten years of experience taking care of animals and always have at least three of my own as an adult. I don't have much going on currently, so it shouldn't be too hard to plan around my current schedule! I can also be flexible and change days around as needed. I do a lot of research before taking on big responsibilities. I can follow a schedule or just work off of basic rules. In the case of me going to an owners house, my personal motto is to leave a house in better condition than when I arrived.

Brittany was fantastic! She stayed 3 nights to watch our dog and cat and we came home to very happy fur babies. She kept us updated the entire time and sent lots of pics. Even did some light cleaning! We were very happy and relaxed being away.

We are repeat clients of Sean's. He is always professional. He takes exceptional care of Stassi. He provides regular updates with pictures. He always leaves my home clean. On my last trip, my flight was delayed and he stayed several hours longer than planned. I ran out of food and he went to the pet store with no complaints about my error. Couldn't ask for better care of my pup and home!

About: Hi! My name is Campbell, I’m a veteran looking to give back to my community and a dependable and caring house sitter with a big soft spot for animals. I know that leaving your home and especially your pets with someone else takes trust and I take that responsibility seriously. You can relax on your trip knowing your home is being respected and your pets are being treated like family. Caring for animals blends really well with my everyday routine because I’m someone who enjoys a steady, home based rhythm. I genuinely like spending time in peaceful environments, which makes it easy for me to give pets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible that includes meals, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions while making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, bringing in mail, watering plants if needed, and making sure everything stays safe and secure. I also send regular photo updates so you always know how your pets are doing.

Alex is a fantastic pet sitter. The instructions for my senior cat can be a bit complicated - Alex took care of her and our golden retriever so well. Highly recommend. She left our house the way we left it, was very communicative, and trustworthy person.

About: In my future, i plan to start a rescue for animals in need and are injured. Animals are my best friend and i couldn’t ever imagine being without them. I’ve taken care of 10 dogs most of my life. My parents love animals so i’ve always been around different kind of animals. They currently have 3 bunnies, guinea pigs, 10 cocker spaniels, 1 lab, and 2 cats. When they are away i am the main person to take care of them since they also foster and i’m the oldest kid in the family. I know how to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and personalities. I also am experienced in special needs dogs, my parents have a cocker spaniel who has special needs and he’s the sweetest dog i’ve ever met. Me and my girlfriend, jenica do this together. I just recently started a new job at the hospital 40 hours a week so it might mainly be her at drop off or pick up if that’s the case i will let you know! but she is so caring and loving to animals!! she’s cared for many animals like horses, dogs, cats, and fish. she’s like an animal whisperer.. she always knows what the animal wants/needs and always tends to them. she especially knows how to make dogs feel at home. This isn’t a business for us it’s a special place for dogs to be happy and loved while their parents are away. especially to make their owners feel comfortable that their pup is in good hands!! 💛🐶 I had a senior dog , izzy who had cancer and i did my best to make her feel cared for through the time she had left. I really take my time caring for dogs with special needs and who are older, they need fun and love. 🐾 What i offer : • Boarding (Overnight stays) • At your home doggie sitting • Day care • Walking • Drop in visits • Clean, and spacious home • Structured play time, nap time and lovin time • fenced in yard for supervised outdoor play and potty time • A calm living space where pups are free to play and relax • Lots of squeaky toys and stuffed animals 🦴🧸 • 2 walks a day 🐕 if they need more we are happy to provide more walks :) • no crated home (unless your dog is crate trained and their crate is their safe space which we abide by) I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why i am firm on communication. I’ll send you updates, videos and pictures so you can see how much fun their having and be comfortable having them in my hands :) I am home most of the day, there may be a time where i have to run to do an errand like grocery shopping etc. My girlfriend is home all the time so she will be home to take care of your pups. Their safety and well being always comes first 🐶 Im 18 and work from home with my girlfriend. We are available 7 days a week. I have a fully fenced in yard so your pup can play outside and be safe. My home is tidy, and very clean. We make sure everything is put away. We know how it is to have a pup that likes to put everything in their mouth so we make sure to vacuum and mop. I live in a quiet little neighborhood. My house is a very spacious 4,000 square foot home and it was a church before it was turned into a house so it’s very unique. I have a cocker spaniel and a brittany mix, they are both very sweet and love new company. My brittany is 15 so he kinda just lays around but my cocker spaniel is 3 so she loveeesss to play.

Kaitlynn was a great sitter for my two cats. I had to find someone last minute to watch over them and she provided great care while I was away. She sent tons of update pictures and helped with a few things around the house as well. I would definitely recommend her!

Jordan met my pets before house sitting. I could tell right away that he was interested in my 2 dogs and a cat. He got down on their level and rubbed ears and neck exactly as they prefer. He was wonderful even doing little chores around the house unasked but very appreciated. All my pets are on meds and he managed them without difficulty even my cat’s ear med. Usually when I get home, my cat cries for a day as she is so happy to be back on her routine with me. This time she hardly peeped, letting me know that Jordan had been a pretty good substitute. I really wish I could keep Jordan a secret but I guess I need to share how good he is.

About: I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities, from energetic to calm and relaxed. I’m comfortable handling daily routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and behavior. I believe dogs do best with patience, consistency, and lots of love, and I treat every fur baby like my own. I work a rotating schedule, which allows me to offer flexible pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available for evenings, weekends, and select weekdays when I’m off, making me a great fit for drop-ins, walks, and weekend care. I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate to make sure your fur baby gets the attention and care they need. I’m very attentive to cleanliness and detail when caring for pets. From tidy feeding areas to a comfortable, well-kept space, I make sure each fur baby’s environment is clean and stress-free. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!

Emiley did a great job watching my cat Alex while I was out of town. She asked questions to make sure she knew exactly what I needed and then let me what she was able to do within her schedule. We worked out plan that was good for both of us. She kept in contact and gave daily updates while she was watching Alex.

About: I have taken care of of pets throughout my life. More recently I have helped take care of my brother’s two pups! They lived with me for over a year. Everyday after work I take them on a walk sometimes more if they need it. I play with them inside and outside. I take them to dog parks and for long walks around the city on weekends. I follow their eating schedule and follow through on the behavior plans my brother set in place. They will no longer be in my home so my home is now open to give love to your pups! I do work from 8-4 at a school. However, I can board at my home. I am happy to take dogs on walks before work and/or after work. I have all evening to provide loving and play time to pups! I have a fenced in backyard. I live in a walkable neighborhood and enjoy walking dogs in my neighborhood. I also live close to a dog park if interested. I have a three bedroom home with room for pups to roam. I also have plenty of windows with a perfect view for dogs to stare out the window and daydream.
