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! 😃❤️

Polina was incredible! She gave Teddy so much love and attention while we were gone and he was very clearly taken fantastic care of. She was able to handle medication administration during a storm & was very responsive. Will be using her again!

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.

About: I have previous experience in veterinary medicine. I was a vet assistant for 3 years. I have now changed career paths but I miss all of the animals and would love to take care of your pet! I currently have open availability as I am not working at the moment, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and giving them attention and care. I provide in-home sitting and drop-in visits, following each pet’s routine closely. I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

I can’t recommend Alex enough. She is a wonderful sitter. I had an emergency where my flight was bumped to the next day - Alex was there for our cat and dog. I’ve rebooked her several times and will continue to do so. She takes care of our home, is very communicative and our pets love her.

Sean was the perfect Dog sitter. We booked him two days before our trip. He came over just hours later to meet us and the dogs. He asked great questions and expectations and dogs schedules. Each day we were gone he walked our dogs, fed them, and of course snuggled them. I have 2 huge dogs and he managed them perfectly and even cared so gently for our 9 lb dog. Sean was kind and helped with the anxiety of leaving the dogs by giving updates and photos. He really put my mind at ease. Sean stayed at our house the entire time we were gone so the dogs were never alone for long. We came back to a perfectly clean house and happy healthy dogs! I will absolutely book Sean again for our next trip. (We were gone for 5 days and have 2 large dogs and one tiny dog.)

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 have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I am often asked by coworkers of family to house sit during their vacations. I have pet sat dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! I am comfortable waking, giving medication, and cuddling (my personal favorite), whatever your pup needs! I have two dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a senior and is high need due to his bone cancer. He requires daily medication and will until we are able to remove the leg. My other pup is a rambunctious lab, who is high drive and needs daily stimulation so he doesn’t anger his older brother. I often take him on walks or use the pond near our home to tire him out! I am used to house sitting in all types of homes. If your pup needs a daily walk I am can do that. If they’re an outside pup we can take a walk or even a hike! I stay at the home and don’t leave often. I ask that a physical copy of directions are left so that I can give the 100% proper care and able to contact through phone as well!

About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.

Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely live for, so I love making pet care part of my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities!

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats but have also had reptiles as well. Animals are something I throughly enjoy being around and caring for. You can be assured that your animals will recieve the care and affection they need and deserve if you decide to book me for your pet sitting needs! I work full time 3rd shift so am available mostly during the day. Most weeks I work 4 days Monday through Thursday. With enough notice I can be available anytime. I provide a fun and safe environment for all of the animals I care for. I’m not in this app to just come to your house and provide basic needs (unless of course that’s all they need) . You can insure that your animals will get lots of affection and care. This app is a hobby for me and I do it because I love animals and enjoy helping others.

About: What sets me apart from others is I will work tirelessly to ensure the care, love, safety, and health of your furry friend. As a pet owner myself, it’s really hard finding someone to trust, but I guarantee you nothing but absolute flexibility and perfection when taking care of your pet. I have complete open availability, and willing to work anytime or day Monday-Friday. One of my biggest priorities is to allow a stress free environment when it comes to scheduling. Depending on your dogs specific needs, I can follow any routine needed for your pet. This can range anywhere from walking, cleaning, giving medicine, etc.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and after recently saying goodbye to my own, I’m excited to share my love with yours. I also have a cat of my own, which has given me an even deeper understanding of different pet personalities and care needs. I provide compassionate, reliable care for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies needing playtime and patience to senior pets requiring extra gentleness and understanding, as well as cats who may need a calm and respectful approach. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and treating each one like family. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7–3, but I’m still available to provide reliable, loving care for pets before or after work and on weekends when needed. I’m always happy to be flexible, just ask! 🤗 I live in an apartment, so dogs will have to go on leash walks for exercise and bathroom breaks. I also have a cat, so any dogs in my care must be comfortable and able to get along with cats. I can crate them if needed, or they’re welcome on all furniture ❤️. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment, making sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and happy while in my care.
