About: I've housesat and taken care of dogs for friends and family members since I was a kid. I've been told I have an energy that animals really respond to. I can no longer have a pet of my own, and I miss my dog every day, I just want to be around dogs again, and help out pet parents. I just opened a bar on my own so it is practically impossible for me to have a dog full time, but my schedule is also flexible enough where I could make sure to give a lot of attention to a dog on a part time basis. I am happy to watch a dog at your home or mine, I have a fenced yard and plenty of parks and trails nearby to walk around.
“Their family was wonderful and very caring for my dog Tundra! I give them an excellent rating, their home was inviting & loving towards my dog. They sent photos & kept me up to date. Thank you to them for their hospitality!”
“Ryan put my mind at ease while I was traveling with work. He sent me daily pictures and video of my little guy and kept in touch with me throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend and will use for next time! ??”
“Jessica is a star!! Our dog is a bit special (separation anxiety and dog/animal reactivity) but Jessica took such wonderful care of him. We loved all the picture updates and her care really put our minds at ease while away. Thank you again Jessica!!”
“Oliver seemed so happy with Cathy. Her fenced in backyard gave him the opportunity to sun bathe and roll in the grass when he wanted to, play with the neighbors’ children, and watch the birds. He settled in quickly to her warm and caring personality. Cathy did a super job accommodating his picky eating habits, his dietary restrictions, and his separation anxiety. Cathy is a real gem! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Bella loves to stay at Sandy’s. Bella had plenty of room to run in Sandy’s yard and she loved playing in the little wading pool that Sandy provided on the hot days during Bella’s stay. We had daily updates on Bella through pictures and video. Sandy is an awesome dog watcher and Bella is looking forward to her next stay!”
“This is the 3rd time Deanna and her husband Gerald have watched our dog while we went out of town. As always, they took great care of Savannah and were very accommodating with her special needs due to a leg injury. It is obvious that they love dogs. We can't recommend them enough!”
“Michael was amazing with our dogs!!! They were clearly well cared for while we were gone. He sent lots of pictures as well so we knew they were having a good time. They had fun with Michael’s dogs and got walks as well. We will be using Michael in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I love working with animals. I’m responsible, caring, and patient, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ve had hands-on experience sitting, volunteering and shadowing in animal care settings, which helped me learn more about pet behavior, handling, and daily care. I’m comfortable following routines, paying attention to details, and giving each pet the care they need. I do work part-time so I will have some availability throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to provide check-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of care for your pets. I treat every pet like my own and always follow the owner’s instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
About: I have 2 years of experience caring for my own Bichon Frisé and have always loved taking care of animals. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own I’m able to plan visits around my work schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m dependable and will always communicate with you about timing and your pet’s routine I have a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I also have access to a dog park. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while they’re away from home
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing and has a gorgeous home! She willingly accepted our two small dogs (27 pound terrier mix and 15 pound minpin) on sort of a last minute booking after 2 others canceled. She graciously let us introduce our dogs to herself and her husband. The dogs received so much love while we were gone for the long weekend that I wasn't sure they were going to want to come home! Stephanie asked lots of important questions and made me feel very safe leaving my dogs there. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Our dog had great care with Caleigh! Great backyard for dogs, good communication, and she did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable while we were away.”
“Metrica kept me updated along the way with check ins and photo/video. Lexi was happy when I dropped her off and picked her up. Metrica accommodated my diva little girl perfectly. Would definitely use again.”
“Teah and Eric have become my “go to” sitters for my dog, Wilbur. They take such great care of him - as if he were their own. I honestly can’t say enough great things about them! So happy to have found people who I can leave him with without any worries!”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Scott was so great with Jesse. He treated him like his own dog and gave us daily updates and pictures which I so appreciate. He also gave him lots of walks which my dog loved so much! My dog looked so happy and I could tell Jesse was sad to leave him. I had no worry leaving him for about a week with Scott when we were in vacation because I know my dog was also on vacation and having the best time.”
“Teresa was great! Excellent communication throughout and flexible with drop off and pick up. Her little pup is also very sweet and Margot had a fun time playing. She came home a happy, tired girl. Wouldn't hesitate to book with Teresa again!”

Gio has been a fantastic match for our elderly dog. Gio is reliable, responsible, and communicative. He is our regular daily dog walker, and recently also boarded our dog for the week while we were out of town. We had no concerns and we trusted our dog would be safe and cared for while we were away. He did a fantastic job.
We absolutely love Marlena! This was our second time using her while we went out of town.She takes such amazing care of our dog and always goes above and beyond. From walks to car rides and everything in between, she makes sure our girl has the best time! Whenever we’re on vacation, I never have to worry because I know she’s in great hands and having a little vacation of her own! We couldn’t recommend Marlena enough!
Kamilah is an absolute saint! She just watched our very rambunctious 5-month old Chihuahua for two weeks. He's small, but quite the handful. She did a fantastic job and our puppy came back to us happy, healthy, and a little more leash trained than when we left him. I highly recommend her.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
