Bradley was the perfect pet sitter. He was communicative and responsive and treated my home with respect. He sent frequent updates and pictures of my cat. He even helped out when the cat went missing unexpectedly, offering to look for him and lending a cat carrier. I will be using Bradley again for sure and I recommend you use him for your pet needs too!

Kevin was great with our dog Molly! We asked him to watch Molly in our home for a weekend. Molly is usually shy when she first meets a new person but she opened up to Kevin right away which made us feel even more comfortable and confident with Kevin being in our home. Kevin was very kind, communicative, responsible. He tidy up the apartment before he left without being asked. We would definitely recommend Kevin and hope to use him again in the future!

Merissa and Nick are stand outs! They took such great care of Comet; he can’t wait for them to come back and doggie-sit again! They are super responsive, great about sending updates/photos, and go above and beyond to make your dog comfortable and loved while you’re away! Comet had an injury at the time and, not only did they give him his medicine but also some doggie massages as a bonus! Highly recommend :)

About: Working with animals is both my night and day job! What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both high-energy animal's and seniors needing gentle, consistent care. I adapt easily to each animals routine and personality, making them feel safe and loved. I like to provide updates, so you never have to worry while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with my own two dogs. I plan to provide what I do to your companions. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and attention, making every pet feel prioritized. I work part time so I make sure to stay organized and flexible so I can provide reliable, consistent care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any rules or routines if asked to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. I double check doors, monitor behavior, and keep a clean, safe environment. I will never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe conditions and will communicate clearly with owners, so they know their pet is cared for like my own.

About: I’ve had my own animals, both cats and dogs (mainly cats) since I was 6 years old. I’ve had to administer insulin before to my diabetic cat that has since passed. My experience with dogs are mainly of the bigger size (I had a pitbull/boxer mix and a pure bred chow chow). I’m currently working as a Direct Support Professional overnights 9pm-9am Thursday through Saturday (technically Sunday 9am). So I’m pretty open for picking up last minute gigs if needed. I would love to have a break down of your pets day to day. Typically when they are most ready to play or eat. When potty breaks need to be done around.

I’m available on week days before 10am and after 1pm. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.

Jessica was a wonderful dog/house sitter for my 3 yr old Boxer Lucy. She truly allowed me to relax and not worry while I was on a long trip away from Lucy. She also took great care of my house, including watering my plants along with other tasks that were a great help while I was away. Thank you for your great care!

Of course Madalyn did a wonderful job again taking care of our fur babies for the week! She kept us updated with text messages and photos every day. I can’t say enough about her. We already have her booked for two more vacations next year and will probably be adding a third and fourth. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter who understands that every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether your pet needs overnight care, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll treat them as if they were my own. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, administering oral medications if needed, and providing regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I've looked after pets with different personalities and energy levels. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, providing plenty of affection, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they felt comfortable while their owners were away. I understand how important consistency and patience are when caring for animals, and I always strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure. Outside of pet sitting, I'm a pharmacy student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and ability to follow instructions carefully. I know how important it is to be reliable, communicate clearly, and respond promptly. If your pet has specific routines or special care instructions, you can trust that I'll follow them closely. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. My availability includes mornings, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays. I plan my commitments carefully so that every pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship they need. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care! I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I care for every dog as if they were my own. In my home, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention. I have an open yard for supervised outdoor time and a nearby park for fun walks and exercise. When caring for your pup in your home, I’ll stick closely to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and keep your home tidy while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

Patrick came for a meet and greet and understood the needs of my reactive dog. He did great with her and she warmed right up to him. He took care of her specialty food needs as well as medication. He was also very responsive and kept us updated. We will definitely reach out to him for future sits.

We had Bradley housesit for us and our dog and cat were so well taken care of. Both Tove and Buddy were completely content when we got home as if we never even left. Tove was given plenty of attention and walks. Bradley is able to handle Tove who has leash reactivity and can be a handful. Buddy also was at ease and seemed loved the extra attention. Overall a really wonderful experience and we hope to have Bradley sit for us again.

Eydid did an amazing job house sitting and pet setting my elderly cat Simone for nearly 3 weeks, while I was on honeymoon. He routinely sent pictures and videos and even spent the night a few times to give Simone night time cuddles, which she loves so much. She was in the best spirits I’ve seen my cat after being gone for so long I am recommending him (and Valeria) to all of my friends

On a holiday weekend, at the last minute, Lynne jumped into the frail. Showed up without a Meet-n-Greet, and the dogs loved her. Like children with a new babysitter—they were on their best behavior. So all went smoothly and we were allowed to relax and do what we needed to.
