“Meghan was such an amazing sitter for our pup! She was super responsive and communicative throughout her whole stay. I had no worries while we were out of town that our sweet boy was well cared for. She’s the best so if you can have her take care of your pet, do it!”


“Oli was very communicative, left our house cleaner than we left it, and our pup was so well-taken care of for the two weeks we were gone!! We could very much tell when we got home, and by the funny tidbits Oli sent us that showed how much she was in tune with Maddie! We would definitely use Oli again! And so appreciate how happy Maddie was and how clean everything was upon our arrival! When we came home in between her departing and us getting back, she even had calm music playing for Maddie! Oli is a gem! ❤️”


“Cindy was wonderful. She took excellent care of our senior cats while we were away for the holidays. Kind, thorough, and very communicative, we knew she was taking great care of them so we could relax on our travels. Very grateful for that! Recommend Cindy highly!”


“Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.”



“Emily did a fantastic job caring for our critters and home while we were away. She provided daily updates, photos, and even a video or two. We really appreciated her good communication and reliability. Thanks for a great experience!”


“Jordyn was great! She was available super last minute July4th weekend. We set up a meet and greet same day and I was able to show her the routine for my pup and she followed it to a tee. She gave me consistent updates and communication regarding my pup! I felt super comfortable with her caring for him and he loved her. She also was super respectful of my place. I highly recommend her!”


“Kyla was a truly attentive, communicative sitter. She was great with Chico during the meet and greet and asked good questions, leaving me to feel 100% comfortable leaving Chico in her care. She was flexible and gracious with last minute changes, sent updates and pictures while I was away, and left my home very neat after her stay.”


About: Hi I'm Marielisa. I love animals, I grew up with dogs and cats & have my own dog. I will take care of your fur baby just like my own. I am extremely attentive, am fine with long or short distance walks. Rain or shine I am there. I have watched dogs/cats of various breeds & ages. Currently I have open availability, so i can work around your schedule! I have a car so i can travel to you no problem (: I am able to walk or run with your pet based off needs. I can feed them wet or dry food. Have playtime or change their litter/ take them to use the bathroom.

“Averi did great with Sandy. We were gone on an extended trip and Averi stayed with Sandy in our home for 16 days. She followed all instructions for Sandy and really carred for her. Sandy loved her time and we got a lot of pictures while we were gone. This helped keep us from worrying to much. She walked, played with, and gave Sandy her medicine. It was christmas and Sveri got Sandy a puppy stocking and photo with Santa. She went above everything we expected. I highly recommend her.”


“Emily did an incredible job taking care of our dog Pepper! She was happy to assist us with a last minute house sitting request when the family members who were originally going to watch our dog had to cancel for a personal matter. Even prior to being formally booked, Emily was quick to respond and receptive to the specific needs of our dog. We were able to set up a meet-and-greet between Emily and Pepper a few days before the house sitting, and it was clear that Emily was the right choice - our dog can be hesitant around new people, but she quickly warmed up her new friend. On the day of our departure, Emily arrived early enough for us to hand over our house keys safely and within 5 minutes of us being out the door we had our first update that Pepper was happily cuddling with Emily on our couch. On the following days, Emily provided regular picture & text updates about how our dog was doing and it was clear the two of them were getting along great. We couldn't be happier - thank you!”


“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”


“Thane was great! Our pups and cat were well taken care of and our house was just as we left it! Communication was great and loved all of the pictures that were sent as well - would definitely book again!”


“Kali is my go-to dog sitter. She always does great with my little Morty Mouse whether its boarding or in-home sitting. She is reliable, communicative, and a true animal lover. Morty knows her by name and always feel safe and loved when we go out of town. Hire Kali and your pets will be loved just like youre at home”



“Melanie was amazing! She watched our dog for the weekend, and saved us after another sitter had cancelled. She was communicative and kept us updated the whole time with photos and videos. She’s super sweet and reliable. We will definitely book her for future stays.”


“As always Daniel was wonderful! Very responsive, respectful of our home, and its clear both of our cats are comfortable with him. Definitely one of our preferred sitters.”


“Cat truly has a passion for animals and you can tell through how she speaks about your pet and the love she gives them. She was very professional, reliable and made herself available to look after my pup on short notice. I received daily updates and I had no doubt my sweet girl was in the best hands while away. I highly recommend booking Cat as your sitter, she provides quality care and goes above and beyond for your fur baby, she even left me a cute handwritten note with printed photos of my girl during her stay ❤️🥹”


“Kaitlyn was great! Very kind and helpful with our doggos and took care of our home when pet sitting. Great communication and an awesome sitter! Would recommend and will certainly ask her to help out again.”

“Beyond being one of the friendliest people I know, Marielisa is consistent, reliable, and so loving to my fur baby. Her professionalism is unmatched and she is always so excited to see Beef (my cat). I have never had an issue with communication or attendance with Marieisa and she has always treated my baby as if she were her own. She took her time to let Beef get to know her and to see her patience with my very picky cat warmed my heart immensely, I truly could not recommend Marielisa enough!”
