“Wendy and her family are excellent providers! She was in touch frequently with concerns, joys, pictures, and even video. She is very responsive to messages and had wonderful suggestions for how to improve our dog's experience. Wendy made sure we were confident and comfortable leaving our pup in her care. 100/5 stars!”
“Haley did a great job with my 2 dogs. She kept me informed and sent pictures daily. They seemed very happy after spending the days with her while I was at work.”
“Catlyn was fantastic. My sometimes nervous dog seemed comfortable because of how Catlyn eased her into the new environment. Kallie took her time to sniff everything in the house and yard but Catlyn’s easy attitude let Kallie feel comfortable exploring. Her dogs were sweet and Catlyn takes care to be sure all the dogs are getting along or if she needs to separate them. Her yard and home are lovely and she is too. I would recommend Catlyn as a great choice.”
“Due to a medical emergency, I had only 12 hours to schedule a first time visit. Donna was very understanding and affordable. I wasn't impressed by the neighborhood-until I saw her spacious yard. My beagle played the day away and slept the whole evening. Would happily use again.”
“Great care!!! She sent me pictures and updates of Jeff. He even got to attend a birthday party for another pet in her home and was treated to a homemade puppy cake that she approved with me before offering to him. Super impressed. I will definitely use her services again!!! Thank you Ximena!!!”
“Alicen was great! Very responsive and welcoming of Chase, provided updates throughout his stay. Felt very comfortable leaving him in her care.”
“Breanna was very welcoming, professional and friendly. Kept us informed of our dog well being. Will definitely use her services if ever in the area again.”
“Christine is the best dog sitter you could ever want for your pup. She is so kind and doesn’t mind if I drop Izzy off early. I feel my dog always has a great time and is safe with Christine.”
“Great experience! Shannon and her husband are great and are obviously pet lovers! We have a nervous doggie and Shannon sent pics and updates. Will totally request them again!”
“My dog seemed to really enjoy his time there and didn’t want to leave.”
“We've had our dog stay with Kelly multiple times, and it's always been a great experience. Kelly is great with out dog and very attentive. Highly reccommend her.”
“Margaret was absolutely amazing! I had to step out for a doctor’s appointment and left my puppy Charu who’s just a 2 months old pup in her care and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She followed my care instructions to the dot, including regular potty breaks, feeding, and playtime in her yard. Charu came back so happy and relaxed, it was clear she was in great hands♥️. What I appreciated most were the timely updates Margaret sent throughout the visit. She kept me posted on how Charu was doing, including food and potty updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can truly tell she cares deeply and treats every pup like her own. I had such a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Margaret you were amazing! 🌸”
“Nicole is so kind, providing great feedback and a great environment for Archie. He loved playing with Cora as well. She was very responsive, and it's clear she loves animals. Great caregiver.”
“Very Sweet and the pups felt right at home!”
“Kaila was a lifesaver! She watched my pup Argos while I was at a retirement party and I was so relieved to know he wasn't stuck in a hotel room. She was very communicative and friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving Argos in her care.”
“Alexis is always flexible and has helped me out last minute multiple times. She is very nice and has a calm demeanor. Her dog Scout is very friendly and energetic and gets my dog to play, which, as a single doggo child, is really needed!”
About: I have a senior pet myself. She is a 15 year old shitzu that I trained (If you know about shitzus they can be very sassy/stubborn lol). I have also raised two of my cats from 6 weeks old. Both my dog and cats are very friendly and tolerable. My boyfriend is home most of the day. I am a waitress so I don’t go into work until 4 or later usually I get out at 9-10 but usually earlier. Besides that I am always home. I care for pets that I am watching just like I would my own! My apartment building has a big yard and i have many good pet friendly parks very close by. I have multiple dog toys, treats, and dog bed (but my dog is small) I also have multiple cat towers, scratchers, toys, and treats. My pets are feed 3x a day morning, noon, and night. My dog is walked at least 2x a day not including potty breaks.
About: My family has had cats ever since I was 12, I also rescued a goldendoodle 8 years ago and he has been my best friend ever since. I love all types of animals, and have experience with rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, and hamsters as well. I have been pet sitting and dog walking as a vet student for over a year now. I am a veterinary student in my clinical rotation years. I live in a duplex, meaning I have my own house with no roommates. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. I can pet sit from your house if you have multiple pets and are gone for days or pet sit from my own place if you have just a cat or a smaller dog. I live in a duplex at the moment by myself without any pets, but I pet sit for friends a lot, driving over to their places to let the dogs out/walk them, feed the cats/dogs/fish and clean the litter boxes, make sure the water bowls are filled, etc.
“Cal was great! I was nervous about taking Jäger to doggy daycare because he can get overexcited but Cal was amazing with him. This is the first time my dog has been tired in awhile so it was lovely to know he was in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve always grown up with dogs, so caring for them feels second nature to me. One of my dogs even had a litter of puppies, so I’ve helped raise and train them from birth, which taught me a lot about patience and attentive care. I’m also comfortable supporting senior dogs with gentler routines and extra needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime or calm companionship, I know how to adapt to what each dog needs to feel safe and loved. I currently usually only work nights a couple days a week and I would love to help out in anyway I can. So I am usually around during the day and at night. I care for pets like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Whether in my home or the client’s, I stick closely to their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I always take time to build trust with each pet, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and in good hands.

“Mikaila was so great with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. One of my dogs is a puppy and she was able to keep her entertained and had a watchful eye over her the entire time! No accidents and no chewing! My other dog can be a handful and is a bit reactive towards other dogs. Mikaila didn't have any issues with him and even sent me some really cute pictures. I can't recommend her enough.”

Marjorie was an excellent dog sitter. She constantly gave me updates, kept my puppy busy, and really made him comfortable and wore him out for me. She also took a polaroid pic of him for me to keep. A perfect sitter!
