“Michelle has been a God send. She had been consistently on time and able to watch George for us a few times this week. She takes him on nice long walks and is easy to communicate with.”


“We are beyond grateful for the incredible care our pets and home received while we were away. Ana went above and beyond in every way, making sure the dogs were not only fed and walked regularly, but also administering medication correctly and with care. We came home to two very happy, healthy pups and a house that looked just as good (if not better!) than when we left. It was such a relief knowing everything was running smoothly in our absence. The attention to detail, communication, and genuine love for our animals was so appreciated. Highly recommend and would absolutely trust her again without hesitation!”


“Autumn stayed with our dog Riley over Memorial weekend. She did a great job. Riley seemed very relaxed and calm when we came home. Autumn was good about communicating and sending photos. We would definitely use her again to take care of Riley.”


“Tammy has provided dog-sitting and drop-in/walking services for me a few times now, and she always is super communicative, follows all care instructions, and sends lots of photos and videos. My dog Bowie loves her! Highly recommend her.”


“Don is a gift to my Fellow. I have a spirited 2 year old Airedale, Fellow, and Don's updates and photos are so appreciated. I have rebooked with him several times and will continue. Thank you for taking such great care of Fellow!!”


“Brynn was amazing, I felt confident in her abilities to take care of our pups. Super communicative, really took the time to understand all care instructions! I feel like she left our place cleaner than we left it.”


“Fantastic Kyra dog/house sitter for our 2 large golden retrievers. She stay at our house for one week and our dogs were so happy to see her again. She is so great getting down on the floor with the dogs and gives them a lot of love. Even lets the one dog sleep with her! She stay in contact with us and sent pictures. After we returned, we got the nicest card from her with pictures of our dogs on it, thanking us for giving her the opportunity to take care of our very precious dogs.”



“We had the pleasure of having Allyn stay at our home to care for our three dogs—including two Great Danes and a Shih Tzu—as well as our chickens for nine days, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Allyn was professional, reliable, and incredibly loving with all of our animals. Managing large dogs and chickens isn’t always easy, but Allyn handled everything with confidence and care. She kept us updated regularly with photos and check-ins, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. The house was spotless when we returned, and all of our animals were clearly happy, healthy, and well cared for. We highly recommend Allyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”


About: I’ve had dogs of my own for over 22 years, and caring for animals has always been one of the deepest joys in my life. From raising playful puppies to lovingly supporting senior dogs through their later years, I’ve been through it all and I treat every animal like family! My connection with animals runs deep. I genuinely love and care for them with my whole heart. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or just providing a calm, safe space for them to relax, I’m fully present and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and care routines, and I always show up with patience, compassion, and reliability. When your pet is with me, they’re not just being looked after they’re being loved. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and natural intuition with animals. I understand body language, stress signals, and energy levels, and I tailor my care to match each pet’s unique needs. Whether your dog loves high-energy walks or prefers slow, snuggly companionship, I’m here to provide comfort, structure, and lots of love. I’m also highly dependable and keep you updated with photos and notes so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I run my own business as a personal trainer, which gives me the flexibility to create a schedule that works around your pet’s needs. Because I manage my own time, I’m able to prioritize pet care throughout the day. Whether that’s early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening check-ins. This flexibility allows me to be fully present and dependable. I treat every pet I care for with the same love and attention I’ve given my own dogs for over 22 years. Your pet's routine becomes a part of my routine, and I’m happy to accommodate what makes them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I have 3 friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own who love the company of other animals. My home is calm, pet-friendly, and a great environment for dogs to feel comfortable, play, or relax. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space as if it were my own and follow your routines carefully. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel secure, loved, and at ease. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pets, they’re family. That’s why I provide clear communication, photo updates, and genuine care every step of the way.

“Joy took great care of our two pups while we were away. She sent us photos daily and we didn't have to worry about them. She also took great care of our home. We will gladly have Joy again for our future vacations. :-)”


“Too bad there are only five stars as we would give Laura six stars. She is the best! She has house and pet-sit for Kaylee our Border Collie/Dachsund many times and we love her. This time we had a more unusual request to have her house sit and watch our sheep, Captain WoolBeard. Laura is a great listener, very caring and compassionate to all animals. She met Captain and brought her doggies to come and visit. We asked her to feed him twice a day and hang out with him. We received many pictures over the weekend and we knew that he was in great hands. Laura's attention to detail are unrivaled, she is prompt and very responsive. We are already coordinating our calendars for the rest of the year. Two thumbs and four hooves way up. Cheers!”


“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Jingying! She took amazing care of our two puppies, Raina and Emma, while we were away for 10 days. Raina, our older girl, needs extra attention and daily medication, and Jingying handled her care with such patience, compassion, and attentiveness. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. Emma, our younger pup, is full of energy, and Jingying made sure she had plenty of playtime and love too. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we came home, both dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Jingying is responsible, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”


“Juan was great! He watched my MIL dog Hodor because he’s too big to come to our house. Juan kept the house clean and even made the bed. We would love having him again and plan to ask. Thank you Juan.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12 years old. I have a great reputation and known for being very caring and friendly towards pets. I’m a dog and cat bather too so I can also bath your pet! I currently work part time so I have plenty of spare time to care for your pets. I work in the mornings so I have the afternoons free for your pets. I will make sure your pet is safe indoors or outdoors. I will cradle your pet if needed to keep them safe from any visitors you might be having in your home or the mailman.

“日本人の方にお勧めのシッターさんです。She is the best house sitter you could ask for. We have two crazy giant cats who had been nightmares for the past sitters. I couldn’t enjoy my vacation without receiving continuous calls or texts from them complaining about them. This is my first vacation which I could relax thanks to Yoshiko. She communicated daily with pictures and videos. She left our house cleaner than we left it for her stay also. Both of our crazy cats looked happy to see us when we got home, but they also looked relaxed. We could tell they were well taken care of.”
