“Autumn was very responsive to my booking request and was nice enough to come to the house and meet the dogs prior to the booking. She seemed to do well with the dogs and was a very respectful houseguest. All in all a great experience”
“Josh was great with all three of our dogs. He was communicative throughout the weekend and we never worried. Beyond that, he took amazing care of our house even going above and beyond to help when we got a giant snowstorm while we were gone. I would highly recommend Josh.”
About: While I'm more used to cats, I do also love dogs. Have a dog with separation anxiety? I can keep them company for a while! I will be working part-time Monday-Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm. I will be available to watch your pets from 9:30 am-1:30 pm on those days (despite what options this site gave). On Saturdays and Sundays I'll be available from 3 pm-8 pm. If I am unable to watch a pet at any time, I will let you know ahead of time by at least a few days. I currently own a cat, Higgins, who is a big lovebug and fairly food motivated. I've been in charge of feeding him breakfast and dinner since we rescued him in 2015, along with scooping his litterbox. He's also needed nightly medication for some stomach issues, so I have experience giving him a pill. I can feed your pet, clean up after them whether they have a set schedule or not, and provide medication if necessary.
About: I have been pet sitting , including house sitting, since high school! I love all animals and have experience with dogs and cats of all ages! I have taken care of special needs animals before as well - including medication injections and senior care. I’m entering my final year of graduate school so I am beginning a phase of most writing my dissertation and other computer work! Because of that I have a very flexible schedule! I’m happy to work with you to ensure a situation that works best for your pets! For any check in services (dog walking/check in visits) I will provide message communication upon entering and leaving the house! For stays at your house I will communicate throughout the stay to update you on how your pets are doing!
“Jackie is amazing- I asked her to watch Tucker very last minute, and she was SO accommodating. She sent so many pictures/videos of Tucker and he absolutely loved her!! I will definitely book with her again!”
“Ava is a true gem! She was very communicative, professional, and caring. One of my pups is very anxious and slower to warm up to new people. She was wonderful with him (and our other pup!), and it gave us such a sense of peace knowing that they were being cared for by someone who also cared very much about their comfort and wellbeing. We will absolutely reach out to Ava in the future.”
“Betsy is truly fantastic, attentive and super with updates and photos. You can tell she genuinely enjoys her time spent with your pets, her energy and communication is fantastic. She stayed over a weekend with my two lovelies and they were so happy when I returned home. Will absolutely be using Betsy in the future for my pet and house sitting needs.”
“Maura was amazing! She took care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend! Maura updated us frequently and we were very confident the dogs were well taken care of! They were happy and tired when we came home. We would definitely use Maura again to watch our pups!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have cared for pets for over 20 years. I’ve had dogs since I was 20 years old and also worked in a veterinary clinic while I was in college, where I gained hands-on experience in animal care and behavior. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society, where I help care for animals in need. I also enjoy spending time with my friends’ and family’s pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or keeping your pet company, I’m dedicated to providing loving, reliable care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and can provide care when it’s needed — whether that’s daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, my goal is always the same: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In My Home: I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with lots of space to play, relax, and feel at home. I follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible — including feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest. I limit the number of pets I care for at once to ensure each one gets plenty of individual attention. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. In Your Home: I respect your space and care for your pet just as you would. I stick to their regular routines, give them lots of love and attention, and keep everything clean and tidy. I can also water plants, bring in mail, or do light home tasks if requested. Most importantly, I make sure your pet stays calm, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m always happy to follow any special instructions or routines to keep them happy and healthy.
“I highly recommend Haylee to take care of your pets. She did a couple drop in visits and an overnight stay. I currently have a young, 65lb mixed-breed foster dog named Roger. While Roger is sweet, he can be a bit of a handful, can be high energy, and has a strong prey drive. Haylee had no problem handling Roger. She took the time for Roger to get comfortable with her and showed good dog handling skills. She was also punctual and communicated well.”
“Jackson did a wonderful job caring for my two active, young dogs and my house. He was communicative, reliable, flexible, and warmly engaged with the dogs, and all seemed well with the animals and house when I came home. I would happily have Jackson dog-sit again.”
“Brigit stayed in our home to take care of our two female dogs - a 25 pound Schnauzer Poodle mix and 65 pound Australian Cattle Dog/American Staffordshire/German Pointer mix. She was absolutely wonderful. Her love of animals was very clear as we came home to two happy, well-cared for fur babies. Our older dog, Cleo has quite a bit of anxiety when we leave, and Brigit was able to calm her down quite quickly. Our younger and bigger dog, Lola can be very wary of new people, but Lola warmed to Brigit right away. We have very specific feeding instructions, which Brigit handled with ease, as well as administering medication to our older dog. Brigit left our home spotless. We appreciated returning to a clean house and wagging tails after a long travel day! We will definitely book with Brigit again!!”
“My dog is a 100% herding dog. Alexis was great with this. I think my dog got more exercise with Alexis than I have ever given her. She was very caring with her as she helped her cope with fireworks multiple nights in a row. Alexis is very personable, took care to read and understand the instructions I had left. Not only would I have her dog and cat sit again, I am indeed doing that.”
“Sophia was amazing. She watched my house for three nights. I got lots of updates and pictures. I would gladly have her back again. She was very respectful and was an awesome communicator. Sadie and Ozzy loved having her.”
