“Bethany stepped in to pet sit for us last minute, and we are so thankful for that. She took excellent care of our pup and our home we highly highly recommend and she will be our first request for all future needs!”
“Gabriella was awesome with our dog! Super friendly, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves what she does. She took our dog on long walks and kept us in the loop, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Christina was excellent with our very energetic coonhound! She was very responsive and communicative. We came home to a very happy dog and clean house. We'll definitely ask her to watch our dog again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was born and have always had a big dog in the home. I love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages; no judgement from me! My big dog is reactive to other dogs so I am comfortable around similar types. I’m an active, 25 year old remote worker looking for some opportunities to get outside and play with animals. I have my own transportation and am willing to travel/transport! I am very flexible since I work from home so can block off any time needed for walks or quick in home visits as long as I have time to prepare I’m comfortable around shy/anxious dogs because I have a reactive dog myself. I’m very responsible and strong so even the hardest puller won’t get me off my feet! I also love long walks and would love to tucker out energetic doggies.
“Devon house-sat and looked after our two dogs on August 11/12, 2025. Devon's great! Very kind with our dogs, speedy with communications, and conscientious with taking care of everything just right. We wholeheartedly recommend Devon to take care of your pets and/or house-sit for you! Thanks Devon!”
“Aaron was great and easy to connect with for a day of watching our big dog. Grateful he was open to a meet and greet first and updated throughout the time he was watching our boy 🐶”
“Karli is friendly, upbeat and has a lot of experience with dogs. She was respectful of my little dog's anxious tendencies which allowed him to warm up to her quickly. I appreciated all the updates and photos she sent while I was away. Somehow, Karli even helped him be a more patient walker, he pulls so much less than before she watched him. Thank you, Karli!”
“Sydney took great care of our puppy and 2 cats while we were away for the long weekend. She listened to all of our instructions about the pets' quirks and sent wonderful updates. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks, Sydney!”
“Giovanna was very proactive and made sure to have all the information to watch over my puppy. Her calming presence made for an easy departure. I would definitely recommend!”
“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Alyssa was amazing with Gio while we were away for the weekend! She kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. We felt really comfortable knowing Gio was in great hands. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Levi was AMAZING! We were so lucky she had availability when we booked last minute. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and their behaviors while being very patient and understanding with our nervous rescue. She sent many pictures to keep us at ease while we were away and left the house cleaner than when we left! Chanel typically doesn’t clique with new people but she was so happy with Levi, we are so appreciative!”
“Heaven took such great care of our elderly dog and of our home. Many updates, she played games with our dog, and left our house in pristine condition. Highly recommend.”
“we had a great experience with Sarah! She stayed at our place and watched our dog and cat for a few days. She left the apartment better than when she arrived and took great care of the pets :)”
“Andrew was phenomenal! I have two cats that require insulin twice a day and one of them is very skittish and difficult around strangers. I am always so stressed and scared to leave thinking the cat sitter won’t be able to gain his trust. But with Andrew, he was so patient and competent and confident, he had both of the cats used to his presence and relaxed and able to get their meds in no time at all. It made my whole vacation that I didn’t have to worry about them. I would hire him again and again and would recommend his services to anyone. He is communicative, friendly, and left my apartment tidy and nice. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Omar was truly amazing! We were in a crunch after our original dog sitter did not finalize as expected, and Omar stepped in on short notice without hesitation. He confirmed the dates quickly and even made time to meet our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks for two walks before the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. From the beginning, Omar was prompt, professional, trustworthy, and genuinely eager to meet our dogs. During the stay, he kept their schedule consistent and even took them on extra walks, which I know they absolutely loved. He kept us updated throughout, and we always felt confident that our dogs were safe, secure, and well cared for. Omar is not only a great sitter and walker, but also an overall great person. Our dogs loved him, and we would feel completely comfortable having them stay with him anytime we travel. I think we have officially found our recurring sitter and walker. Highly recommend!”

Masi took great care of Chewie at our apartment while we were gone for a weekend. She was very communicative and sent us lots of photos. Chewie is older with some health problems, and we felt like she was in great hands. As a bonus, Masi left our place very clean. She clearly loves dogs and we will happily book with her again!
Cyn took excellent care of our 3 small dogs in our home while we were away on a 5 day trip. Our Morkie takes awhile to warm up to strangers but Cyn was eventually able to get her to go on walks with the rest of the pack. We received updates and photos every day, walks to the nearby park and throwing the ball for our mini Aussie (sorry he doesn't retrieve the ball!). While our dogs were excited to see us return, they went right back to their normal behavior soon after. This is the main reason we hired Cyn to stay in our home and know she took special care of our loved ones. Upon picking up our mini aussie after boarding with a local business, he was "shell shocked" for a day or 2 after which is exactly why we are so grateful to have found Cyn as a caretaker.
Thanks so much for caring for the little guy! Your observation that his incontinence happened mostly when he was excited/just before a walk was very helpful to his vet. Appreciate you coming through and I was so happy when he saw you and started jumping around the lobby. Hope he wasn't too much trouble, and again, thanks for taking such good care of Pedrito!
Jamie is the best. He is very communicative, kind, caring, and professional. My dog had specific feeding requirements prescribed from the vet, and Jamie followed the program to a T. He sent pictures multiple times a day, and left the apartment in a better state than we left it. I feel very lucky to have a pet sitter like Jamie. He is top notch and I will definitely be booking him again in the future.
Kimberly took phenomenal care of Kyrie once again. She was super punctual and detailed with daily updates and photos, worked some absolute wizardry on deshedding Kyr's undercoat, and truly left the house in better shape than it's ever been with me. Both Kyrie and I look forward to having her back again!
Katie was wonderful with Topanga! Even though our schedule changed and she didn’t get to spend as much time with her as originally planned, she was incredibly flexible, kind, and understanding. During the time they were together, Katie was genuinely caring and attentive. She was polite and professional with us, and most importantly, loving with Topanga. Our girl instantly gravitated toward her, which says a lot! We would absolutely recommend Katie and would be happy to have her care for Topanga again.
