“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”
“Dominique was great! Super caring and supportive even tho Archie got sick with stomach issues. Super appreciative of his patience and recommendations to help Archie feel better. Thank you for all you did! Would definitely book with him again!”
“I would highly recommend Brandon. He sat for me in my home and I was never concerned about Leo. Brandon sent many updates and kept me informed. I could tell Leo was a happy camper. I will definitely be using Brandon again.”
“Soleil was caring and compassionate with my pup. She sat with her and rubbed her tummy. She communicated with me many details about my pup which was reassuring while I was away. She kept my home in order and followed everything I asked.”
“Chantal is incredible! She is so nice, professional, and goes above and beyond what is required. She works around your schedule, sends pictures and videos, and caters to any needs you or your pet has. I cannot recommend Chantal enough. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would.”
“Sophia kept us super informed while we had to travel for a wedding and our pup was dealing with a medical issue. She has been fantastic with them! Especially for our pup that needs tons of meds!”
“Rachel is amazing! That's all I need to say, book her! As a dog lover myself, it was reassuring to find a sitter who loves my pups as much as me - and Rachel does. Upon meeting her, all three of my dogs were immediately comfortable and even rolled over for belly rubs :) -- I have one senior dog who I was particularly worried about leaving, but Rachel kept me at ease with constant communication and pictures. I will definitely book sitting with her again. Thank you Rachel! -- Lola, Toro, and Roxy miss you!”
“This is now the third time we have used Shawnette to take care of our dogs while we were out of town and couldn’t be more pleased with her and her care. We were gone for 10 days this time and she took incredible care of our dogs and even won over our very shy girl. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Miguel was great! My dogs got lots of love and attention, plenty of walks and were well taken care of. It’s so nice not worrying about my dogs while on vacation, knowing they are in good hands. I will definitely book with Miguel in the future!”
“We love Leah! She is great with big dogs have 2 Great Pyrenees and a Persian cat and she was amazing they loved her would not leave her alone even Tina who’s the cat and doesn’t like strangers was very attached to her which I was surprised by. I will be calling her again if I go out of town again. Great communication she sent pictures along the time away.”
About: I've always loved animals and had pets at home. I began fostering cats and dogs when I was about 10, researching the needs of different ages, breeds, and conditions. To this day I learn as much as I can to better care for your pets and provide the best sitting service possible. I am experienced with seniors, neonates, and disabled companions. In addition to being an experienced animal care technician, I’m also certified in animal control, basic life support, and first aid. Family and friends can always rely on me for advice, as well as sitting, boarding, and exercise services! While I am a full-time university student, I have plenty of time to care for your companions! I'm available for walks and sittings evenings and nights on weekdays and all day on weekends. When caring for your pets in your home, my top priority is their well-being and your peace of mind. I maintain open communication with you, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns promptly. With a commitment to building trust, I strive to create a comfortable and loving environment for your pets while you are away.
About: I love dogs and cats 💕 I’ve been called the animal whisperer forever and this job wouldn’t even feel like a job due to how much I would enjoy taking care of your animal. I’ve grown up with animals all of my life so no worries with preferences because I don’t have any! I would be willing to walk your animal if needed and check in to see if your animal is doing alright. I am perfectly capable to administer medicine to your animal and groom your animal if needed. I hope that I can be a helping hand in your life and help with something that can tend to be very stressful in life, and make it not that at all💕 Whenever a client books with me I will ensure that their babies are taken care of! As soon as I get a notification that you need service I will be there. I have 3 dogs and two cats myself. They are my children nonetheless. My animals are my babies ! So first thing we do is wake up and stretch ! Yawn! Then we head for the bathroom outside followed by morning breakfast. Then if I have nothing planned for the day endless snuggles await. I would love to be there for your pet and make sure every one of their needs is fulfilled. I can do dishes, clean the litter box and yard if needed. But don’t worry I’ll probably do that even if you don’t ask me !! Just let me know how I can make your life easier 💓
About: With over **40 years of hands-on experience** caring for animals of all kinds, my heart and home have always belonged to the furry, the feisty, and the four-legged. From the time I could walk, I was surrounded by a vibrant mix of animals—**German Shepherds, Huskies, Labradors, Poodles, Pomeranians**, and even the more unexpected companions like **raccoons, squirrels, and capuchin monkeys**. Each one taught me something new about loyalty, trust, and unconditional love. Pet sitting isn't just a job for me—**it’s a calling**. I provide every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and gentle attention I’ve given to my own over the years. Whether your fur baby is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. From belly rubs and playtime to medication and special diets, I handle it all with heartfelt dedication. My goal is simple: **to give you peace of mind** knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and deeply cared for while you're away. Because when you're part of my pet sitting family, your pets become my pets too. 💕🐾 7 days per week availability. Require a minimum of 2 days' notice to book. I work from home in my day job and am able to flex my schedule to most clients' needs with minimum required notice as per above. I am very meticulous in my care for your furbaby and take pride in my ability to be astute and attentive in my care whether in your home or while walking your furbaby. Rest assured they are safe in my company.
“Mario took great care of my dog Rex. He regularly sent photo updates that helped my peace of mind being away. I highly would recommend Mario to others and will definitely be contacting him again for the next time Rex needs care.”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life, I currently own 2, 5 fish and a gecko. I've never met a dog I couldn't become friends with I am currently on break from college looking for a job to bring in some extra money.

Monika S.
“Monika is the best thing to have happened to my beautiful Spike. Spike is an English Bulldog and due to his breed, he needs constant accommodations. Spike is susceptible to heat strokes giving his build. When walking him, it needs to be done when the sun is almost down, you need to constantly take breaks in cool areas and make sure he is plenty hydrated and you need to be able to tell when Spike is getting tired and needs a break. He'll often even take naps in the middle of walks and you have to wait until he is done. Whenever I walk Spike I have to carry a backpack filled with water and ice to make sure he is plenty cool. This is the type of care I expect from a pet caregiver to give my Spike. Taking care of Spike requires many accommodations to be made for his sake, and Monika always meets my standards. I usually take care of Spike all on my own, but due to a new job, I can't give him daily walks like I used to. I tried plenty of "professional" pet caretakers, but often their jobs were sloppy or at worst a danger to Spike's health. Eventually, I landed on Monika and he was everything I wanted. Someone who sees Spike and doesn't see him as a nuisance, but instead a pet that needs and deserves that extra bit of attention.”
Annette P.
“Annette did a good job looking after Skylar and Roxie. She was flexible as we came back earlier than expected. My dogs were well cared for and would definitely book again.”
