“Vanessa H. Is such a great responsible petsitter. She came to our house and stayed for six days and nights with our Catahoula dog. She was super and on the ball with everything I asked of her. From feedings to let outs, play time, videos and pics she kept up on all of it. I highly recommend her as my favorite pick., to let her stay with your furbabies.”

About: I’m an animal lover who enjoys playing and cuddling with fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual and unique needs of every animal I care for. I enjoy creating my own schedule and prioritize care into my routine to soothe, comfort, entertain and provide basic needs for every animal in my care. I’m available early mornings, evenings and weekends. Routine schedules for feeding, potty and play time are ideal so I and the animals know what’s coming. I try my best to stick to routines already placed and will navigate to create a routine that fits both you as the owner and I as the pet sitter.

“Belle was a fantastic caretaker for our 12-year-old furry baby Scout. He can be a bit of a challenge since he is older and deaf. Belle sent us some pictures of him during our 6-night trip out-of-town. Scout looked happy, bright eyed and alert. Belle left the home neat, tidy and smelling clean and sanitized. I would recommend Belle without any hesitation. She will be first on my list to call when we need her to watch Scout in the future.”

“Sia did an excellent job taking care of Kaylee for a week while on vacation. Was able to get in touch with her as needed. She sent a daily picture of Kaylee and any updates. Would hire her again in future outings.”

“Alison is everything I hoped for to ease my troubles for leaving my puppy for the first time! Her communication and flexibility is unmatched. She was very personal and patient!”

“Kenny took care of our three dogs and one cat for a week while we were on vacation and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. His attention to each pet's needs, the way he engaged with each of them, his patience with our 17 year old spicy chihuahua (with special needs) was more than I could have hoped for. Kenny was always communicative, sent lots of pictures, asked all the questions you hope your sitter will ask, and took amazing care of our pets and our home. Having him care for our crew made our vacation so much more enjoyable because I knew I didn't need to worry about how things were going at home. Honestly - if I could give Kenny more than 5 stars, I would - he's the best!”

“Jenifer was a fantastic sitter for our cats and dog. She was quick to communicate, left a great diary of each day, and went above and beyond for taking care of our home. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“When Luciano first came in our house - immediately - his focus and interest was on our pups. He sat down and played with them right off the bat, and they were in love. We could almost see the bonding happening in that moment, and we knew our pups would be in good hands with Luciano. He's kind, and polite, and clearly loves caring for and interacting with dogs. On a 5 star rating, he's a 6. Absolutely the best. We are so lucky to have found him.”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals. From elderly at the shelter, huskies, labradors, pit bulls, doodles & puppies to cats, chameleons etc! I work remotely and have open availability for your pup. Lover of all breeds 🐕‍🦺 🐩 🦮 🐕 🐈 🦎 🐹 I am a corporate manager who works from home. I have 2 playful pups in the house (both females). One pup requires frequent potty breaks - at least every 30 minutes so outside time is no problem for me. I have a crate if/when needed. My pups sleep in the room with me uncrated and allowed on couch/bed. We keep our house cleaned and is puppy proof (crazy goldendoodle owner here). We do not have a fence but I’ve had huskies who tried to run away any chance they’ve had in the past, so am very careful with the door and leashes - even if the pup is trained off leash. Non smoke home, no kids or cats. Just 2 female pups who love other pups.

“I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!”

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.

“Izabella was a wonderful animal / house sitter. She was super communicative, sent pictures daily of our fur babies, and was very flexible with us. She also left our home clean and even made time to wash the sheets and remake our bed! We are excited to book our next trip knowing our fur babies will be in great hands.”

“Janet did a fantastic job caring for our sassy corgi and our anxious hound. She is very caring, professional, and trustworthy. She provided regular updates and pictures of our pets, which was a comfort while we were away. We highly recommend Janet to care for your pets.”

“Short version: LJ recently stayed at my house and watched my dog, Chance, while I was out of town for a family event. She is everything you would want in taking care of a member of the family that sometimes needs to be left behind. She was efficient with setting up a meet-and-greet, during our brief meeting was very friendly and attentive to not only my dog’s needs and everyday routine, but also my expectations. While I was away, LJ was excellent with communication via text messaging that helped quell my anxiety of being apart. Upon return, I found my house clean and tidy (as I had left it), and also a happy pup. Bottom line- I would definitely recommend LJ for dog sitting. Long version: It’s difficult to summarize the appreciation I have of LJ’s presence during my absence, but I’ll give it a shot. Chance and I have been together for just short of a decade. Within that time we have had a lot of opportunities for growth. Some of which include his old physical injuries from when he was an exuberant 2-year-old to his most recent health complications that requires blood work every 3 weeks to dealing with his separation anxiety to my social anxiety of people pre-judging him because of his breed. He is very friendly to everyone he meets, but we have the relationship that I’m definitely his person as much as he is my dog. Thus I was very anxious to have a stranger take care of him while I was away. The only other person that I have trusted to watch him for more than a few hours is my mom. Since we were away for a family event my mom was with me and not available to watch him. Though my mom loves him dearly, she does not provide him with the same amount of belly rubs and snuggle time that he has become accustomed. Whenever I pick him up from my parents’ house, he greets me with a 20-minute-happy-dance-whole-body-wiggle-grunt-with-2-tennis-balls-in-his-mouth (that makes my heart grow many sizes like the Grinch), whether it’s been 2 hours or 2 weeks. When I returned from this particular trip, he greeted me with a big-smile-tail-wag-30-sec-oh-hey-I-missed-you-how-was-work-Imma-return-to-the-couch-now. Though it stung my pride as I expected our reunion to last 20 mins, I knew it meant that his life carried on as normal in my absence. Not only were his basic needs met, but also he was truly seen and loved. And that is definitely more than I could have asked for with someone taking care of my best buddy. Thanks LJ.”
