“Sam stayed at my place and watched my 80 pound, 2 1/2 year old hound dog, and was great! He was communicative and gave updates at the end of each day and sent pictures. I appreciate that he gave my baby dog all the exercise, love, and snuggles. We will be booking with you again. It makes it so much easier to be present when I go on trips trusting that my pup is in good hands. Thank you so much Sam!”
“Jackson was quick and responsive to all my messages! He made time to stop by before house sitting to meet my pups. He left the house clean and sent pics of two very happy dogs. I will definitely contact Jackson again for future bookings!”
“Cezanne took such good care of our two dogs + home while we were away over the weekend. She was super quick to respond and sent us an abundance of photos. It was the first time we've been away from our 7 month old puppy with special needs and knowing that he was in good hands made our trip so much more stress-free. We would rebook with Cezanne in a heartbeat!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! We felt confident our puppy was in good care. We got regular updates and pictures that helped give us peace of mind! Highly recommend and will be booking again!”
“Alex watched our pup Ronald for a week and we couldn’t have been happier. He’s a nervous little guy and she was more than happy to meet him multiple times before our trip to help ease his nerves (and ours!). While we were away, she sent multiple updates and photos a day, was a fabulous communicator, took outstanding care of Ronald, and left our home spotless, even washing sheets and towels without us asking! We couldn't recommend Alex more as a pet sitter!”
About: I'm a passionate animal friend with experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and rabbits. My family fostered animals for the local shelter in addition to keeping pets which gave me a lot of experience with pets from all walks of life. My mom also bred Yorkshire Terriers for several years and I would help train the puppies for their new homes. I have a calm, professional, and patient demeanor that allows me to get along with a variety of pet personalities. I can't wait to be your pet's new friend! I'm self employed and working from home so I have totally open availability. I'm here to help you and your beloved pets whenever the need arises, no worries! I understand that your pet is an important member of your family, with their own special personality and unique needs. I treat all pets, as well as your home, with dignity and respect. When I care for a pet, their safety and well-being is my first priority. Special instructions provided will always be followed. I unfortunately don't have the ability to host pets where I live. However, I'm familiar with all the local dog parks and hiking trails and would be happy to take your pet on outings, with permission.
“Courtney was absolutely wonderful!! From playing to grooming to loving our pups and our home like her own, I cannot recommend her enough! She sent lots of pictures of our pups who were so tired and well taken care when we got home. She will definitely be our go to sitter in the future.”
“Peyton was awesome! She took great care of our dog, picked up mail, watered plants, and kept things around here running while we were away. It was nice to know that everything was in good hands.”
“If we could give a 10 star review I would!! Chase was absolutely amazing! He sent us pictures every day, filled my hummingbird and bird feeders daily, so many extras! Usually when we come home from vacation, our fur babies are over the moon to see us… tonight they were like “Yay Your Home”, think of The Family Guy.. This solidified the fact that Chase went above and beyond for our fur babies.”
“Abrielle stayed in my home with my dog Bentley while I was out of town. Bentley has a hard time trusting strangers and he felt very comfortable in her presence. Abrielle took incredible care of Bentley and was always available to communicate with me. I am so happy to have found someone that I can trust with my best little buddy.”
“Toni was amazing in taking care of my beagle, Cooper! She took him on extra long walks (which I know he was appreciative of!) and was an excellent communicator from the beginning of the booking process to the end!”
About: I have taken care of animals for so so so long and I love them so much with all my heart. The empathy and love i have for animals its unconditional; all pet owners tell me they can never trust anyone else with their animals. They choose me all the time I love my furrbabies Anytime I will always make time for furrbabies as long as I know in advance I will accommodate for them. I have been doing this for so long. I will treat them with royalty. I never once had my friends neighbors and people that have contacted me to watch their animals not ever question my trust. They only trust me wholeheartedly to take care of them with so much love and attention. They become my world
“Mason was perfect for what we needed. Our three girls have never boarded before and we weren’t sure what we were gonna do. With one 16 yrs old one 9 yrs old and a one year old who were all very attached we needed something we felt very secure. Looking on river was not my first option but we just couldn’t take them out of there home where they felt safe. Mason came for a meet and greet and we knew immediately he was the person. Our girls loved him. He did everything we asked for. We never had to worry. This made our vacation even better. He will be watching our girls every time we can get him.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy! Zainab was incredibly responsible, friendly, and truly professional throughout the entire week. She stayed with our (very spoiled!) pup the whole time and treated him like family, with so much love, care, and cuddles. We received regular updates and adorable photos, along with thoughtful notes about our puppy’s meals, outdoor time, and overall well-being. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, attentive, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Faith took such great care of our fur baby while we were away for the weekend. She sent lots of updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated as I missed him so much. I knew he was in great hands and we will certainly use her again! 💕”

Always happy with Courtney's sitting service. Always goes above and beyond what one would expect. Came home to a very happy pup and spotless house. Courtney is always our first choice for watching our boy. In fact we check her availability calendar to plan trips. We know we are worry free with Courtney staying in our home watching our boy
Hailee was great with all of our pets, 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs and a pair of birds. She followed all the instructions with the care of our diabetic dog and her insulin shots. Our house was just as we left it and Hailee went above and beyond to make sure we had nothing to worry about. We will definitely be welcoming Hailee again.
Morgan provided amazing housesitting and cat care while we were gone. She is very caring and communicative and made sure my two cats were very well taken care of with food, water, and lots of attention. She even helped my very skittish cat feel comfortable. Morgan is reliable and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Olivia did a fantastic job watching over my two cats--one of which is a kitten. When she noticed he was knocking over my LEGO sets, she put them out of reach which is going above and beyond! I highly recommend her services and will be reaching out again when I need someone to watch my kitties.
