“Grateful that we chose Isabella for our girls! We have a very shy pup that warmed up to her quickly, and a high energy one that got lots of play time! She gave lots of updates and pictures. We will definitely have Isabella watch our girls in the future!”
“Incredible sitter!! Excellent communication, incredible pictures, top-notch care of our fur babies, and detailed descriptions of the visits. She even gave them Christmas cookie treats and swept up their mess. Couldn't be happier!!”
“Meagan was very good at giving our guinea pigs love and attention. Kept them well fed and happy. They loved her as she spoiled them. We will use Meagan as our new babysitter whenever we need one.”
“Lizzy was great with peanut and provided helpful updates to let me know that he is okay. She was very helpful in assuaging my fears about my dog staying home.”
“Nikki was very nice. I enjoyed talking to her. She seems to know a lot about cats. Looking forward to her staying with my cat River.”
“Montrez was great! He picked up poop and also vacuumed and followed all care instructions.”
“I'm very happy with how my two dogs were cared for. One has a persistent problem with one of his ears, and she was very consistent with looking after it and giving him his medication when needed. Probably more consistent than I am normally. Usually by the time I get home his infection has gotten worse and requires a lot of attention to get it back under control. But this time he was his usual self when we got home!”
“Great communication and send lots of pictures of my little one which I love. She actually plays with my girl and takes excellent care of her.”
About: I've raised several puppies into adulthood throughout my life and I have experience in dog sitting that I have done for friends and family through the years. I'm currently searching for a new career, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals. I'm looking forward to a new experience! I have a fenced yard, and two small dogs to keep your pets company. I can also crate dogs if necessary! I have one big dog that stays in the back yard and in his crate.
About: I have house-sit and drop-in experience. I can do drop-ins and/or stay the night. I have taken care of pets up to a week at a time. Stayed with a mix of cats and dogs or one or the other. I have experience with dogs of smaller or larger breeds. I can stay overnight on weekdays but will have to do drop-ins around my college classes. I usually want to provide care for pets during the weekends because I will be more flexible with time and can spend the whole weekend with them and house-sit as well. I usually ask what the client’s schedule for feeding their pets is and how frequently they take their dogs out to use the restroom. If they have set schedules then I will always go by that and if they don’t, I go based off my own experience. Playtime is so important for active pets, so doing that is so important to me. I also ask if they would like for the dogs to go out on walks. I will take them out on walks, depending on if the client is comfortable with their dog going out.
“Courtney was 100% professional from the start. She was communicative, quick to respond (to initial request, questions, a change in the stay plan, etc.) and very clearly is a dog lover! Courtney made drop in visits for Molly while I was away for the weekend, and sent pictures throughout the time I was gone and updates. She also pulled my mail inside (THANKS COURTNEY!) and kept me informed of how things were going. When I returned home, Molly was happy and relaxed. I look forward to having Courtney care for Molly and her brother, Senna, in the future!”
“Kerrington takes good care of all our babies which includes a cat, dogs and fish. It makes leaving them much less stressful knowing they are in capable hands. Highly recommend.”
“Sophie was fantastic! She really cared about my cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable while I was away. She even offered to take him on walks since he loves going outside. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such good hands, and I can tell my cat liked her too! Highly recommend!”
About: I have over 30 years of experience taking care of a variety of animals including: dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, snakes, fish, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have raised animals from birth up until their assent to heaven. I work for Uber, so I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to fit your needs. I have two dogs myself, and while they come first, I have plenty of time and love to give. I am a very clean and trustworthy person and your animal family member will always be in a safe and loving environment. I want every animal to get their exercise, so if that's a walk or just playing I will make sure they do so in the most fun way possible.

“So happy to have found Kaitlyn!! She took great care of my cats and was very attentive to my instructions on feeding them. She is super sweet and won over the hearts of my extremely judgmental cats quickly!! Would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be booking again in the future.”
“Allison did drop-in visits for my dogs several times a day while I was out of town for a long weekend. From the meet and greet they instantly warmed to her and I knew they would be in good hands. Allison sent regular pictures and updated me on all their antics. It was great to know that they were happy and being well cared for!”
About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have so much compassion in my approach to dogs who are grieving the loss of a sibling or companion. I understand the emotional needs of lonely dogs and provide gentle, attentive care to help them feel safe, comforted, and loved. Whether it’s quiet companionship, extra cuddles, or keeping their routine consistent, I’m here to support their healing with patience and heart. I’m a full time student during the fall and spring, but have an extremely flexible schedule and will be free all summer. During the fall, I’ll be free after 1:00 PM! I have a fenced in backyard, and two friendly and playful dogs. They are loved deeply and are only in a kennel when I’m out of the house.
“Kaitlyn was our sweet angel who cared for our fur babies. We don’t leave them often so Maggie can be difficult, but she was so sweet and handled her with genuine care and love. We will definitely be asking her again to come over in the future. Thank you Kaitlyn”

Dogs, especially, have been important in his life. We have our second Goldendoodle now and have had Labs, a cocker, and a shepherd mix. He loves big dogs but he has a sweet cockapoo now.
