1. Luna S.

“Luna did a great job with our dogs. Everything at our house was left clean and tidy and dogs were happy and mellow (a sign that she exercised them well.) We’d recommend Luna to others!”


2. Janiellee A.

“Janiellee was amazing with my little Macchiato. She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates daily. Janiellee stayed in my home and left it immaculate. It felt amazing to have someone stay in my little guy's space to help him feel less anxiety about my absence. I will definitely be having Janiellee back again and can't recommend her more.”


3. Alina R.

“We could not have been happier with Alina as our house and dog sitter while we were away. The dogs were well taken care of, we got multiple daily updates, and the house was in the same if not better state than when we left it. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”




4. Zach D.

“Zach was everything we could have wanted in a dog sitter and more! Zach watched our very active husky Sven the night of my husband and I's wedding and even picked him up from our wedding venue since Sven was a part of our ceremony. He gave us text and photo updates of our little fur baby throughout his stay and made what could have been a stressful aspect of our day, completely stress-free. I recommend him for any and all of your pet care needs!”


5. Elizabeth N.

“Elizabeth was amazing with Penny! She took her on a very long walk which Penny loved! We got photos and felt very comfortable with Penny in her care.”


6. grace c.

“Grace was amazing! She was communicative and took great care of our home while we were away. Our fur babies were extremely happy in every update she gave! I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”


7. Avery D.

“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”


8. allyson b.

“Allison, did an excellent job! She is proactive and immediately stepped in and helped us on short notice. She was reliable and excellent with our 3 dogs and even cleaned the house before we came home. Our dogs were well taken care of!”


9. Alexandria M.

“Alexandria took great care of May, my lab/pitt mix, on short notice. She took time out of her weekend to come do a meet and greet prior to the trip, which was much appreciated. Alexandria followed all instructions provided and ensured the house was spotless when I returned. She also provided daily updates with pictures to let me know May was doing well throughout the trip. Highly recommend!”


10. Lexi C.
About: I have grown up taking care of dogs! My grandpa breeds dogs so I have taken care of several different breeds. Along with puppies, pregnant dogs, old dogs, and sick dogs. I have a 7 year old German Shepard (she does not live with me right now) and I love to take her to the dog park, for walks, swimming, and to pet smart to spoil her. I can guarantee the best care for your dog or cat. I am a full time student at UT, but have lots of breaks within the day and no more than two classes a day. I do live in an apartment with two other roommates and they’re both dog lovers as well. I also live right next to a dog park and lots of walking paths so high energized dogs are no problem! I would love to take care of your pet whenever is needed. I can do overnight stays, walks, daily check ins or whatever is needed. I can ensure proper care for your pet whether it is for one day or a week!


11. Susanna N.


“Susanna was wonderful. Had an instant connection with Bear. She made me feel really comfortable leaving him with her for the day. I will definitely utilize her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


12. Amanda & Matthew K.

“Very friendly and communicative! I got pictures each time they stopped by to check on her.”


13. Elise S.

“Elise did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town for a long weekend. She was available last minute and really spent a lot of time hanging out with him so he didn’t have to be crated. My dog seems to love her as well! We would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs their dog watched and will be using her in the future!”


14. Landen S.
About: I have taken care of both my own dogs and have pet sat for friends and neighbors for many years and have loved taking care of different types of dogs! I love some good puppy time and treat every dog the same as I would treat my own dog. I am currently a college student but I am done with all of my classes after 2:10 everyday and have pretty free weekends! I have a very flexible schedule I will take care of the pets however the owner sees fit, if the dog needs to be crated when it is alone or if owners are comfortable with the dog being loose around the house, whatever is most comfortable for owners.


15. Isabella R.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was young, I grew up with a pug, but have dog sit for many dogs including big dogs! I truly am a dog lover and love any pup! I currently am a college student looking to make some extra money, I am available weekdays Tuesday and Thursdays and possibly weekends. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I am available to walk, feed and let out your dogs! Any need you may have let me know! I will be more than gladly help out!


16. Alexandra F.
About: I grew up with a cat for 15 years & my parents have had a Pomsky for 4 years now which I have helped care for (& if you know how these dogs are… training him was no easy feat)! I volunteered at a local animal shelter throughout college where I helped socialize the dogs & cats prior to their adoptions. My college roommate had an Australian Shepherd for our 3 years of living together so I cared for that dog as well! I have dog and cat sat for many friends and family members & am a huge animal lover. ☺️ I am starting a PA-C job in February, so I have ample free time while I am in the hospital credentialing process right now. I would be more than happy to care for your pets during this time!🤍 I am responsible & respectful to your space. I did not have time during grad school to get my own pet, so I have been itching to have pets around me again now that I have the time.🥰


17. Cindy C.
“Cindi is very a loving and caring person. Rest assured she will take good care of your fur babies! She is responsible, respectful and clean. No smoking and no drinking. Easy to communicate with.”


18. Sydney W.

“Sydney is like an assistant for your pets (and house). She came over and overlooked our crazy house (think mid holidays with family events mid project), asked the pertinent questions (who gets fed what, where, when) and merged her life with ours while with us. She sent pics so we knew all goings on and basically had a handle on things so we walked right back into our schedule upon return. I miss her now we’re back in the swing. Bonus points: the 4 pets were calm upon return not desperate and needy as in the past when we traveled, and Sydney cared for the cat boxes and potty messes that invariably occur in the house with so many living things. Highly recommend and hope she is available our next travel event.”


19. Paige & Nathan C.
About: Hi there! I’m Paige. I’m a computer systems professional working remotely, which allows me to offer your pet consistent companionship and care throughout the day. My partner, Nathan, and I are both passionate about animals, and we would love to welcome your dog into our home as part of our family. Nathan and I are a team, working together to provide the best care for your pets! I have a 9-year-old dog named Zoey, and I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets throughout my life—my childhood dog lived to 17 years old! As a past nanny, I have worked with a plethora of different breeds over the years. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the needs and care that different dogs require, whether they’re puppies, seniors, or anywhere in between. Zoey is currently on a special diet and pill medication, so I am familiar with some additional health needs. In addition to providing a safe, loving environment, Nathan and I enjoy regular walks around the city, which would be an excellent opportunity for your dog to get exercise, explore new sights, and socialize. I take great pride in offering a structured yet flexible routine, ensuring your pet feels comfortable, secure, and happy during their stay. Don’t worry, your dog and Zoey will never be left alone together. I’m committed to delivering personalized care that matches your pet’s specific needs, whether they require extra attention, playtime, or simply some quiet relaxation. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your dog and to ensure they have a wonderful experience while you’re away. They will miss you, but they will also be on vacation with me :) I am a full-time remote worker. I have the flexibility to take your dogs out when needed and I take breaks throughout the day to socialize with your pet. My partner, Nathan, also works from home and provides additional availability for your pet's needs. The most important priority for me is ensuring your dog feels comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs, taking the necessary steps and precautions to create a calm and secure environment.
