“Ashley was amazing, she came and picked up our pup Na’Vi for a walk. Na’Vi was happy to have another furry friend tag along and she came home happy and tired. Thank you for taking her!”


About: I've been around animals since I was a kid. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats. I have a dog at home and have dog-sat for friends and family since I was a teenager. Whether it's taking a long walk or cuddling on the couch, I am happy to give your pet whatever they need. I have a dog at home so I am used to going on walks every day and a feeding routine. I've taken her to vet appointments and given her various medications for routine stuff like tick protectant. Over the years, I've helped friends and family take care of pets including walks, dog sitting, baths, and even puppy play dates. I do not offer boarding at my home but I plan to be respectful of both pet owners space as well as your pet's space. No matter where the pet is, whether that's on a walk or in a fenced yard, I will be alert and focused on the safety of your pet.

About: I have been helping my sister with this for a while, trying the app on my own! I also have been taking care of animals since I was a young one, my household was always filled with animals from fur babies to reptiles to fish. However, I didn't just grow up with pets, I learned how to bond with them and really understand what it means to care for an animal. From playful to shy, I meet every animal where they are at and give them the love and attention. I also have experience working with animals from my time spent working at a pet store. I am reliable, communicative, and treat every pal like family. Rest assured your pal is in safe hands! I have open availability. Caring for animals is a peaceful part of my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks or check ins, I make time for them. For me, spending time with animals keeps me grounded and joyful. It's more than a job, it something I look forward to day to day. My home is calm, clean, and filled with love - pets settle in pretty easily after the owner departs. I make sure to stick to their usual routine, so your pal feels safe and secure. Whether they are here long term or just overnight every pal gets treated with 10/10 care!

Alivia M.Star Sitter

“Alivia is great with our dog! The dog is sometimes stubborn about going on walks, but loves hanging out with Alivia! And Alivia is very communicative and professional.”


Miakoda F.
“Miakoda is a wonderful individual who is kind, respectful, dedicated, and straightforward with both people and all animals. These qualities create trust and connection, which are key to any interactions I want to have. I have entrusted my furry ones of all sizes and species with her, and they are comfortable, relaxed, and secure with her caring presence.”


Lottica M.
“Yes, Lottica M. has cared for my pets, and she’s amazing. She’s kind, reliable, and treats every pet with love and attention. I always feel at ease knowing my pets are safe and happy with her. She’s great with communication and truly goes above and beyond.”


Carey L.
“Carey has done wonderful work with not only my dog, but with my daughter's dog. She is patient, caring, and very attentive to the dogs. While taking my dog for walks she has taught him to heal and wait to keep him safe for crossing the streets and when other dogs approach. She always checks his paws for any injuries after their walk. Carey works with the dog not only to give it exercise, but to engage his mind too. She loves my dog like her own. He is always excited to see her, even the mention of saying 'Carey's here' makes him jumping around excited. She takes him in the rain, and dries him off and snuggles with him when they are done. I could not have asked for a better dog walker/sitter, and would highly recommend her for any type dog!”


Jessica M.

“Jessica has held an intense love for animals for as long as I have know her (over a decade!). This love translates to near-unparalleled attention for all animals in her care. Dogs, cats, birds, goats, or horses; Jessica knows her stuff and will always do what is right by the animal. She also has a kind, sunny personality that means she is pleasant and easy to talk to. Every animal I have left with her has come back to me safe and sound. Even my more difficult cat seemed to hate her less than he does everyone else in the universe (which is impressive considering he barely even likes me and I’ve had him since he was a kitten). All that is to say; Jessica can be trusted to care for your animals safely and with care.”


Angel P.

“Angel did so good with my dog, Oreo. She took great care of him on his walk and made sure he needed everything. I would most definitely book Angel again! Thank you so much !”

Michelle M.
“Michelle took amazing care of our pets — Marlo, Mika, Gaia, and Mila — while we were away. She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver. From the start, Michelle was communicative and informative, keeping us updated and ensuring we felt confident that our pets were in good hands. Her calm and friendly demeanor made it clear she genuinely cared about our animals’ well-being. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.”

“Gillian would be a great pet sitter and/or walker. She has great experience in pet sitting to include staying at our home so as not to leave the dogs alone for extended time. She was great with our older dog, who has some health issues. She is loving and caring and has such a calm demeanor when around pets (and people) that she would be a great fit for anyone looking for a trusted person to take care of their cherished pets!”
