3. Ashley P.


“Ashley gave my dogs such great care! She went out of her way to spend extra time with them and walked them a lot. She was very respectful and easy to work with! I’d love to have her watch Remy and Peyton again ☺️”


4. Melinda B.

“We could not have asked for a better house/pet sitter than Melinda. She was very attentive, detailed, and caring of our “furry family “. It is obvious that she loves all animals and shows in her care for them. Penny, our 9 year old Lab had an emergency requiring vet care, and Melinda quickly and confidently handled the situation while keeping us informed. This issue also required additional time and attention and her and her husband upended their schedule to make sure Penny had the necessary care. We highly recommend Melinda for any pet care needs!”


5. Abigail T.

“As we was traveling through this area we knew we wanted to do a couple things. Traveling with our fur baby aka Macy our Yorkie. We came across this app. We choose her because of her past reviews. She did an amazing job. While out she even updated with pics and videos. Thank you for loving our girl! Definitely recommend Abigail”

7. Elexis C.
“She did absolutely amazing with my dog, Nara (Med. Sized yellow lab mix) for the week I was on vacation. She’s an experienced vet tech and I’ve known her all my life to love and care for animals. She always goes above and beyond for any and all animals in need of care. 11/10”

“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”


10. Malcolm G.
About: Hi. I'm Malcolm, I have been a pet care extraordinaire for over 5 years. My love for animals has been ignited for longer than i can remember and I never get enough of loving all the uniquely named fur babies. Hope to meet yours soon! I currently work a full time until 4pm Monday-Friday. I am available for drop-ins, overnights, evening visits, pet sitting, 1 animal boarding. Flexibility is my specialty. I have a fenced in backyard and am located near multiple parks within walking distance for the pups. I am happy to provide company for the occasional friendly cat as well.


11. Sarah H.
“Sarah has been taking care of our beloved 3 cats for nearly two years and it has been simply a dream. They are extremely frightened of strangers, and Sarah has handled it all with care and grace, while also implementing a very annoying feeding regimen that requires them all to be separately fed. Now whenever she arrives, they come out of their hiding spots quickly and let her pet them - we've never had them warm up more quickly to a cat sitter ever before! We would recommend Sarah endlessly as a pet sitter, walker or long-term caretaker. She is communicative to us while she's with our pets and so kind to our animals, and while we haven't ever had an emergency we trust her completely to handle anything that may come up with our pets with empathy and efficiency.”


12. Jenna B.

“Jenna has stayed at our home several times and has been reliable, accommodating, always done a great job with our animals giving us peace of mind when we are away.”


13. Clarissa H.
About: I've been pet sitting, house sitting,farm sitting, and more for neighbors and connections since I was 5yo. While no one wants anything to happen to their pets, I have the experience to handle any abnormal incident or emergency that may occur while owners are away. I am an experienced dog trainer and Former Veterinary Technician. Over a decade handling and training service dogs, specifically medical alert and response dogs, using positive reinforcement methods. I can't wait to me you and your pets!! At the moment, I have created a pet and farm start up, so I can make you and your animal(s) needs fit my schedule. Pets(and their parents) are my top priority, so I will do my best to work anything in my schedule around yours and give you and your animals the best, most responsible care. I care for pets in their owners home at the moment, though I'm working towards building the ideal training and boarding facility to better serve locals with their pets needs.


14. Gavin S.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid—everything from dogs and cats to livestock, thanks to 10 years in 4-H. That hands-on experience taught me not just how to love animals, but how to read their behavior, keep them safe, and give them the structure they thrive on. I now have a pug named Otis (a total goofball), and I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and genuine love for every animal I care for—like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, quirks, and comfort zones to make sure they’re not just cared for, but actually happy while you’re away. I’m currently in college and working part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits into my daily life really naturally—I love being active, I’m often out walking anyway, and spending time with animals is something that genuinely brings me joy. I’m looking to grow this into a consistent side hustle that doesn’t feel like work—because caring for pets never has. Whether it’s quick drop-ins, long walks, or overnight stays, I make time for each booking and treat every pet like they’re my own. This isn’t just extra income—it’s something I’m committed to doing well. I’ll be caring for your pet in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, meds, or just how they like to be tucked in. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re calm, happy, and cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to keep your home clean and your pet in great hands.


15. Diamond C.
“I have known Diamond for 16 years. She has always been a reliable person to trust with dogs. When her and I were young she lived with her grandparents and they had quite a few dogs that needed to be fed, walked, and taken care of that her grandparents were not able to take care of themselves. I have trusted her with my own dogs, and will continue to trust her with my dogs in the future!”


16. Rebecca L.


“Rebecca was available at the last minute to babysit our 2 dogs. She came over ahead of time to get instructions and meet the pups. She kept us up to date and made everything stress free. We would definitely use her again!”


17. Lauren T.

“Lauren was an awesome sitter for our dog Ruby! She arrived on time at each of the times we set, followed all my instructions carefully, and most importantly, Ruby liked her (she warmed up to Lauren faster than to any dog sitter we have had!)! Would definitely use her again!”


18. Eevin T.
About: Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s a true passion. As a lifelong dog and cat lover, I find immense joy in providing pets with the attention, love, and care they deserve while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their home, I go above and beyond to make every pet feel like family. My strong work ethic means I am always punctual, responsible, and committed to maintaining the routines and preferences of both pets and their owners. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to provide personalized care, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and stress-free. With a deep love for animals and a reliable, compassionate approach, I take pride in being a trusted pet sitter that pet parents can count on. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry friends, I treat every pet as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less! I'm able to fit pet care into my routine just fine as it is my source of income. I love to have a set schedule. I ask a lot of questions about the pet's routine. I always want to be prepared no matter what. I want to make sure the owner understands I'm here to my job and I will listen to any questions or concerns they have for me.


19. Jennifer R.

“Jennifer watched our dog while I was at a week-long conference and she did an amazing job taking care of her as instructed and letting us know how she was doing throughout the week!”


20. Caitlin H.
About: I will completely focus on the animals and their care. That will be my responsibility all the time no matter what and I have experience because I have dogs myself. I can do all things to take care of other peoples dogs. I am a dog person I love dogs and to be honest I hope I get the chance to show that I can care for them. I am so glad that I was able to apply for this job it makes me so happy and proud. I have always wanted to find a job to help with animals and I really do want to be able to work with all kinds of dogs.
