“Autumn was awesome! She did a fantastic job with our dog while we were away for 2 weeks. Very responsive and took great care of our dog. We will be booking with her for our future sitter needs and highly recommend her!”

“Leigh was such a pleasure to work with! From the moment we met her we knew we had met the person that had the capacity and skill to care for our furry companions. Leigh communicated with us daily and she was great on letting us know her plan for each day. She took our dog Tig on several adventures and even took our cat outside for a look around. We could tell by the daily photos she sent that the animals felt very relaxed and cared for. Our house felt very settled and clean when we returned and it felt nice to come back and reconnect with the animals. I would highly recommend Leigh and I definitely plan on booking with her again. If you’re looking for a great person to work with, book Leigh! You will not be disappointed.”

“Absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend Callie. She took pictures of our pups, she stayed the entire time and the house was as clean as when we left. So grateful that we found Callie.”

About: Cats just seem to know I’m “one of their people.” 🐾 I’ve spent years caring for cats of all ages and temperaments — from playful kittens to wise seniors. I’m patient, gentle, and tuned in to their needs, whether that’s playtime, quiet company, or a little extra care. I’m also comfortable with the not-so-glamorous side of cat care: deep-cleaning litter boxes, keeping food and water fresh, and making sure meds are given on time. My goal is always to create a stress-free, cozy environment so your cat feels safe and happy while you’re away. I work part-time with kids and in a coffee shop, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. If I can be trusted with little ones, you can feel confident I’ll give your furry (or feathered!) baby the same love, patience, and attention. I make time every day to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy — just like family. Whether I’m in my home or yours, my top priority is always your pet’s safety and comfort. I always ask about your safety policies, routines, and preferences so I can follow them closely — from feeding schedules to favorite toys and safe walking routes. Every pet is unique, so I make sure their care is tailored to their needs while keeping their environment secure and stress-free.

About: I started working in boarding kennels straight out of high school 13 years ago. I did that until I got into dog grooming 6 years ago. I’m looking to get back into the passion of caring for all sorts of dogs not just cutting their hair now that I’m home full time. I have experience in administering medication, and any special dietary needs. I have a two year old daughter, Laeton. She’s in daycare during the week periodically & My availability is pretty flexible. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies soon 🤗🥰🐶🐾 I am a stay at home mom, looking to make some extra money, i have stepped out of working a full time job to be home with my two year old daughter because daycare is unfortunately unreliable so , I'm home about 80 percent of the time. I will feed / water them twice a day walks 4x a day. I have a field beside my house , I live in the country. I am also available to pick up dogs and take them on walks , I’m all about taking pictures so I’ll definitely blow your phone up with pictures while your baby is in my care.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years for friends, family, and as a TrustedHousesitter both in the U.S. and internationally. (See glowing reviews here: bit.ly/trustedhousesittersprofile-desiree) I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and care needs. I absolutely LOVE dogs and it is my joy to share moments with any pups I cross paths with. My approach is to follow the owner’s care instructions & routine closely to maintain the dog’s familiar routine and environment. This helps maintan a sense of calm and stability for the dog, and keeps things consistent while you’re away. I focus on attentive care with lots of play and love, reliability and adherence to care instructions, and clear communication with you, so your dog stays comfortable, and you return to a happy, well-cared-for dog & home. I am an entrepreneur and independent contractor so my schedule is my own. I am flexible and experienced with molding my schedule to suit the needs of the owners & dogs I care for. I ensure that pet and home care instructions are understood and adhered too at all times to create consistency and trust with you and your pet.

“Susanah did an amazing job with our pets! She was extremely nice and a great communicator! We will definitely use her again.”

“I can’t give enough positive feedback for Ginger. She did an amazing job of pet sitting for my two doggie fur babies. Ginger stayed in touch each day with pictures (hers are much better than ones I take!) and info on how things were going. My two fell in love with her. I highly recommend Ginger if you are seeking a compassionate pet sitter who treats your pets as well and maybe better than we do. And, she treats your home with special care, too.”

About: I have a variety of experience volunteering in shelters, fostering animals, and giving special attention to elderly dogs/cats. I will take extra good care of your babies! Open to schedule a meet-and-greet. I work part-time. Pet care fits in my time off as additional income. Artist with flexible schedule = lots of attention time. When I am pet sitting, it is my main priority! In my clients home, it is important to me to be respectful of your space and your pet’s established routine. Will follow instructions closely - such as feeding schedules, walk preferences, medications, and any behavioral notes. Consistency in routine is key! 🙂

“Julie was terrific, and she communicated well with me the entire time. My dogs enjoyed her company. I highly recommend her, it was a great experience.”

“Celeste was great! She took wonderful care of our reactive-to-animals dog. We’d definitely book her again.”

Rachel S.

“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’m the kind of person who notices when a pet wants comfort, quiet, playtime, or just someone calm to sit with them. I especially love creating a peaceful, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes, clean, dependable, and communicative. I know how vulnerable it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal with real patience, affection, and attention — not just as a job, but because I truly love being around them. I’m also available for overnight stays, house sitting, feeding, walks, companionship, bringing in mail, watering plants, and helping keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight care most weekdays and weekends. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and being in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and the little things that help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.

“Susanna was very friendly, dependable and I was extremely comfortable leaving my pets in her care. She also gave me some good ideas and options to help with eating habits. My pets really seemed at ease and happy after my return from vacation :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was 10. I’ve helped numerous friends, neighbors, and family members with house sitting, dog walks, and pet care. I am currently a second year PA student on clinical rotations so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your fur babies. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of your fur baby in your own home but I am flexible to other arrangements.

About: I have been doing private pet care for a year, but we always had dogs growing up (from the age of 5, starting with Gibson the golden retriever/yellow lab mix!) and I pride myself on not just providing the best care for your pet, but loving them as if they were my own. I work remotely and am traveling the country living in an RV with my girlfriend, so my schedule is pretty flexible and wide open to provide care! I always make safety my number one priority for your pet, based on exactly what you desire and direct me to do while they're in my care. I LOVE sending photos and videos and going on hikes, walks, to the dog park, and introducing your dog to mine if you think they'll get along!

“Hannah was amazing with our pup! She communicated and sent us photos when we gone. Stout was very sleepy and happy upon our return. We will be requesting Hannah to watch Stout again!”
