“We were especially happy with Allie's stay with our dog, Leia. Leia is an elderly dog with medical needs. She becomes agitated when she stays by herself overnight. Allie was able to house sit for us and stay with Leia when she was not working or at school. She did an exceptional job caring for Leia. Leia agreed because as Alley left, she wanted to go with her even though we had just gotten back from being gone for two weeks! We will definitely hire Allie again. We recommend her without any hesitation!”

“Karen is awesome! My dogs are well taken care of by her and have fun and relaxed when I can’t be there. She is very attentive, responsive, keeps me updated, and there when the girls need care and loving. She sends me photos, follows my info on the dogs, and leaves my home spotless. She’s great!!! I trust my two dogs with her unconditionally!”

“Emily took such great care of Gremlin and Cody and was so great with communication/checking in and sending pictures. We felt so comfortable knowing our senior dogs were in great hands! Would definitely recommend!!”
About: I enjoyed having cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends. I also worked/volunteered at a local shelter for years. working with puppies. old, big, little and traumatized dogs. I can run with those that want to. Additionally, I’m good at fetch and tug-of-war. I have commercial auto insurance coverage for your pet in my care. And I have uploaded a copy of my PetCare Insurance in my photos that covers potential incidents in your home, my home and in the park. I’ve given medication’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter and I don’t have an opinion. I have a lot of free time while I’m working on a book and don’t really need the money. I just would love the experience. I think the most important part is safety. PetCare Insurance for the unforeseen, but vigilance eliminates a lot of that. Pets are often curious and you need to make sure they’re not getting into harms way. When I take your dog for a walk, I won’t be on my phone because you need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I can take your dog to the park, around the neighborhood, for a drive or just stand in the yard. It’s all up to you. I will follow your instructions without opinion.
“We rebooked Beth to watch our 4 dogs and once again, everybody was happy and healthy when we got home. Beth does a wonderful job. Dogs love her and so do we. We even came home to spotless house. Thanks, Beth! We appreciate you:)”

About: Hi everyone, I have 5 years of experience providing pet care and professional care started with my dog; Bellah and I got into grooming, training and aiding with pet health. Feel free to ask any questions, at this time housesitting is my preference! I can do walking, bathing, test out training or just be a great caretaker while you’re away! Thanks for considering me. Now that I’ve graduated college, I’m available full time for dog and cat care with a flexible schedule to meet pet parents’ needs. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. If a structured schedule is preferred, I can also provide one based on the routine I use with my own dog, Bellah, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and outdoor breaks. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress free environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have personally trained my own highly energetic dog; Bellah, in commands such as sit, jump, lay down, freeze, paw, and patience training, which has helped me develop strong handling skills and an understanding of different pet personalities and energy levels. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, treats, toys, and a structured routine to help them stay active and comfortable. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and following all care instructions closely so they feel secure in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide dependable, personalized care while making every pet feel like family.

“Victoria was an excellent sitter! Dogs were very well taken care off with walks everyday day! House was clean when we returned and dogs were happy! Would book this sitter again!”

“Tessa did a great job watching our 2 yr old lab in our home for the week Skye is very scared of new people when she meets them but made a new friend at the meet and greet! Tessa was her new play buddy and seemed at ease and comfortable with her during her stay. I know this because she would give me updates and pictures every day to put my mind at ease while we were so far away. She even helped me feed the neighborhood cats! She left our house just as clean as we left it. I will definitely be contacting her next time we need someone to watch or let Skye out for us!”

“Animals are happy, everything was done with care, photos and general updates provided without prompting. Didn’t have to worry for once when we were gone. You can see the love she has for animals.”

“Darrin was great! He was communicative, sent photos, and was very easy to work with. He stayed at our home and took great care of our two dogs and cat, one of which had activity restrictions due to surgery. It was our first time having someone house sit and we felt very comfortable with him!”
