Elissa is a really sweet and very professional person. She’s house-sitted and dropped by to take care of my two puppies and they’ve quickly grown to love her. She’s trustworthy and communicative. I would highly recommend her!

They were great!! It was my first time using a sitter and I have an anxious dog that takes medication. They were so patient with him and updated us every step of the way! I feel so much more comfortable knowing I have people who can watch my boy when we are away 🤍

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

Jennifer house sit with our dog for several days and was great to work with. I would highly recommend. When we came home we can tell that our dog was well taken care of and happy. She also took care of the house very well- and went above and beyond for us. She kept us posted and gave us updates on how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Our dog also had a recent minor leg injury and Jennifer was extra careful with him and followed our instructions well.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have watched neighborhood dogs for anything from a dog walk to a couple weeks overnight since I was in high school (I just graduated college!) I have always had a knack for training pups using positive reinforcement and have been coined a bit of a “dog whisperer” by friends, family, and clients back home. I am a major dog person and have been my whole life. I just moved back home to Jersey from Austin where I fostered dogs in addition to my own. I would love to meet your furry friends! I am currently a student at the university of Texas at Austin. The maximum hours of class I have a day are two hours and only on busy days. I am home most of the day at my apartment and have time and love to offer a dog! I don’t have any dogs in my apartment here. While I don’t have a fenced in yard, my building is dog friendly and close to parks/good walking routes!!

We can’t speak highly enough about Jennifer A as both a cat and house sitter! She was extremely diligent in carrying out all of our 20 year old cat’s needs, despite her need for her long known routines and idiosyncrasies. She also followed to a T all of the, perhaps too many, directions that I left for her. We could also see from Jennifer’s daily photos how loving and caring she was with her. I was nervous about leaving her for this length of time, but my fears were quelled very quickly. As for our house, we came home to find it spotless. Perhaps more so than how it was left! We felt assured that it too was in good, intelligent hands. We hope to book Jennifer for our next trip. She is a winner!

Cassie was an excellent sitter for our dog Bear! It was a slightly last minute booking and she made time for a meet and greet. She sent pictures throughout the stay. And when our flight was rerouted due to weather, she stayed extra hours beyond what we had booked. She truly went above and beyond. Thanks Cassie!

About: I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and patient looking after your pets, and I always try to give them lots of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, evening house sitting, and walks. I know every pet has their own personality, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a senior dog of my own who has a special diet and is partially blind, so I understand the extra patience and attention some pets may need. During walks, I keep her close to me, help guide her safely up and down stairs, and carry her when needed. I also administer her eye drops daily and make sure she stays comfortable and relaxed. Caring for her has taught me how important gentle, attentive care is, especially for senior pets or pets with special needs. I have a fairly flexible schedule! I’m currently available weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as full availability on weekends for House sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking! Visits include feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, walks and playtime! I’m happy to help keep up with your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed in their own home. For walks, I focus on making sure your dog has a safe and fun outing.

I'm a bit of a hoverparent, so I was really happy with how communicative Jade was the entire time we were away. We got lots of updates on what our little weirdo was doing and how he was responding, complete with pics and videos. He seemed to have had a great time with Jade and we returned home to a totally chill and unbothered doggo.

I wish I could give 100 stars! Kevin is just amazing, he communicates any needs and is so great with all our asks of him. We get plenty of photos where our dogs just look so happy to have him. He walks them daily (we didn’t even ask for that) and sends photos of the cuddles and love they get while we are gone. Our house is always so clean, and he runs the laundry so we don’t have to. He’s literally perfect. Our vacations are just that, vacations, knowing he was here let us enjoy everyday. Thank you so much Kevin!!!

Katie & Zayn were an absolute life saver when we found ourselves a few days away from a trip with no pet sitter. As soon as we met them, we felt comfortable leaving our home and our furry crew in their capable hands. Our dog in particular loved them immediately. They were prompt, professional, had excellent communication and provided many pictures during their stay. Our pets were well taken care of and it was easy to see that while we were away. Katie and Zayn - thank you for taking such great care of our pets!! ❤️

I can’t say enough great things about Lana! From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with caring for pets. She treated my dog like her own making sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and got plenty of love and attention. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy leaving your pet behind, but knowing he was in such caring hands made all the difference. When I came back, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend this sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals. I will definitely be booking again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely wonderful with our French Bulldog — so loving, attentive, and affectionate. Our dog felt safe, happy, and comfortable the entire time we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our home and pup were in such good hands. She even came by ahead of time to meet her, and they bonded instantly! Pretty sure our dog already misses her now that we’re back from vacation. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be booking her again!

First time we use Jenette and couldn’t be happier. We returned from our trip of 5 days to find our cat Huckleberry healthy and happy. In fact, it seems she was an expert playmate because he has been super playful since we’ve been back, leading us to his toys etc. We highly recommend Jenette as pet sitter.

Bridget was the best!!! We went to Italy for 9 days and were super nervous to leave our fur babies behind but she took such good care of them as if they were her own! She cared for our golden retriever puppy like a pro, including when he developed a hot spot the first few days we were gone and she easily took him to the vet to get him medicated and get everything all cleared up! She also took care of our two cats with such love and caring. She left our house spotless and sent us texts and videos daily checking in - her communication was amazing. Highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her in the future!!
