“She’s a total “dog person” – both my dogs loved her immediately, even the shy one! She was professional and relaxed and I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care.”


“Kailie is the absolute greatest. She is timely, communicative, and is wonderful to work with. It is so reassuring to travel knowing both my animals are in great hands. Thank you Kailie!”

“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”



“Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!”


“She is the best with our pups! They adore and she takes really good care of them. Is very careful and attentive with our one dogs allergies, making sure he doesn’t eat his sisters food, which we are so greatful for!”


“Tim was great. We booked a 5 hour whale watch tour and needed someone to walk/ take care of our dog in Bar Harbor while we were out. He works for the company to was able to help check us in and then take care of our dog for the day. We very much appreciated his willingness to help us!”


“Kaleigh did an excellent job taking care of my fur babies! She gave me daily updates and kept in contact with me throughout my entire trip. Highly recommend kaleigh to anyone looking for an in-home dog sitter!”


About: I grew up on a ranch in Vail Arizona and I have extensive experience in caring for animals of all breeds and species! I have two cats and two rescue dogs (chihuahua and border collie) along with one snake and a bearded dragon. I understand that our pets are our family—often feeling like our own children—and I carry this sentiment with me when I care for other’s pets as well. I’m a part-time substitute teacher (I used to teach English in New Orleans before taking a break!) and I have a flexible schedule with summers and holidays off. I have a fenced yard and I welcome pets who get along with cats into my home. My two dogs can stay with my sister (who is a vet tech and only a call away) if there’s ever an issue with dogs who may not like to share space with other dogs. When caring for a pet in your home I appreciate detailed information and I will never hesitate to reach out if I am curious or confused. If ever an emergency occurs and I cannot get ahold of you my judgment as both a mother, an educator and a pet owner will dictate my actions.

“Nicole was just excellent with our dog Josie. She handled Josie’s anxiety so well and did so much to make sure Josie had a good time! She kept us updated frequently, and asked all the right questions. We would not hesitate to book Nicole again!”


About: Caring for senior cats and dogs is both a privilege and a responsibility. As our furry companions age, their needs change — and so should our approach to their care. Older pets often move a little slower, sleep a little longer, and may face health challenges like arthritis, vision loss, or dental problems. But with the right support, their golden years can be some of their happiest. My best friend and I have a strict routine that we both stick by regarding food schedule and bonding time as with elder pets they need a little extra attention and care! Caring for a pet in their own home is one of the best ways to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free. To do it well, attention to detail, consistency, and kindness are key! Also, to respect the client’s property — tidy up after feeding, clean any messes promptly, and ensure everything is in order before you leave.

About: I have two golden doodles who mean the world to me, but aside from my own pets i have made sure to surround myself with animals my whole life so far (I'm 27 currently) i grew up helping out friends and neighboors with animal care. to me pets are not just pets they are family. I love being outdoors going for walks myself so I take a great deal of pride being able to help someone with the joy in their life and incorporating it into what I already love to do. I currently work full time monday-Thursday with friday, saturday,and sunday off. I will be available any of those three days off for any service someone is requesting, and I am open to commuting aswell. I have two golden doodles who I treat them same as my closest and dearest friends/family. It would be no different with anyone else. One of my biggest beliefs is that respect and kindness speaks for itself and goes a long way so im very geared towards the needs, wants, requirements ect... that a client has or is requesting.


“This was the 1st time I left my dog with anyone overnight so I was very nervous. It helped a lot that Bambi stopped by to meet all about 10days before staying over. She took my lists of instructions and adhered to all. She was very understanding about my dog’s anxiety.”


“Kahlan took such great care of my home and my special needs dog. She even dried some laundry I left in the wash by mistake and left the house immaculate. My pup loved her immediately. She is an excellent communicator and sent pics of my dog daily. She is very trustworthy. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

About: For five years I have been pet sitting for coworkers, family, and friends. I have cared for small to large dogs, some lazy and many very high energy! I love being able to play with the pets to get their energy out and give them a good petting afterwards. Generally, I am available both ends of the day and most weekends. My full time job is flexible for the most part and can create my schedule to accommodate different gigs. I primarily have experience with overnight pet sitting at the client’s house. I am comfortable with both rural and more city environments. Privacy is important for me, so I will always respect the client’s privacy of their home. If uncomfortable with overnight stays, I will gladly travel to the client’s house in the morning and evenings to care for their pets.

“I 100% highly recommend Mark to watch your babies. He is trust worthy, communicative, and reliable. Not only did I contact him with less than 24 hours notice, he followed my every direction perfectly and documented the whole experience via text with pictures. With a great sense of humor i appreciate while not being home, I would absolutely re-hire Mark again to watch my pups.”


“Abrianna did a great job watching our dogs over a long weekend. She was responsive and assisted us with multiple house sitting items while we were away! Our house was well cared for and clean upon our return. Would definitely recommend her as a dog sitter.”


About: I have been a Vet assistant for almost 2 years and on the road to becoming a technician. I have also taken a 2 year small animal science program. I am fear free certified along with CPR in animals. I have a bunch of experience working with animals, and am comfortable giving medication or whatever care they may need! I have some free time when I am not working. I am pretty open as I work part time. and only have classes 2 days a week. I make sure the pet is as comfortable as I am. If the pet isn't comfortable then it won't be a good experience for me or them.
