“This was my first time leaving my doggo with strangers but Blake seemed to understand my anxiety around it. He responds quickly and professionally to questions and sent pics several times during the stay. My pup was so happy when I got home and clearly well taken care of. My home was also as clean when I returned as when I left. Highly recommend.”

“Rico did a great ?? job taking care of all 6 of my dogs, 5 of which are large. He was attentive to their individual needs as rescues recovering from abusive origin homes. And, he saved the day when he agreed to be our sitter for a long weekend after someone else had flaked on us at the last minute. Thank you for being willing to drive 2 hrs, say yes at last minute and keeping my pack safe, happy and healthy while I was away!”

11. Kendra H.
About: I have been helping family and friends care for their pets for years! I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve had a dog of my own for three years ❤️ I’m currently working part-time so I have more availability to help people out with their pets! I am able to work with people based on their needs/schedule since I have more flexibility. I have a fenced in yard & a medium sized dog— she gets a long with other dogs and we have sidewalks in the neighborhood for walking!


12. Lily T.
About: I am an avid dog lover that has been pet sitting for 10 years. I am also a dog trainer and service dog handler for the last 4 years. Having 4 pets myself, I am conscious of the work required to ensure that an animal is well taken care of. I am often free in the evenings I believe that dogs need a lot of stimulation to be satisfied through mental stimulation and physical exercise. It's not all work though, my dogs often are treated with training disguised as play.


13. Brooke P.

“Brooke was fantastic with the critters! Sent pictures and updates. She left the house cleaner than she found it! I definitely recommend her- but I get first option🤣!”


14. Jaclyn Y.
About: I have personally had a dog in my home or care since I was two years old. Since I got older, my family and friends have relied on me to doggy-sit, walk their dogs, and just spend good time with them! I have also watched a number of senior dogs who have needed specialized attention. I worked as a veterinarian's assistant for a while as well, so I am comfortable assisting with any medications or special needs that may be necessary. I am also not forgetting about our other fuzzy friends, cats. I am very comfortable around cats and understand that cat-care is usually very different from doggy-care. I am comfortable helping with litter box cleaning or any other types of cat-specific cleaning/maintenance. My schedule currently is very open and very flexible, and most weekdays are completely open until the evening time. I do not have any long-standing commitments on weekends either, so any weekend help needed I am very open for. I love playing and hanging out with dogs, so if your pups are energetic I have plenty of energy to give back! I am also happy with lounging if your pup is older and needs more tender lovin’. I also have experience with crates and crate training if that is what your routine for your pups calls for. As for cats, I have interacted and had cats for most of my life and am comfortable with any litter box cleaning or any cat-specific maintenance!


15. Rachel C.

“Rachel did a fantastic job watching Chewie! She took great care of him and my house. She communicated well and provided lots of updates! I had a great experience and would definitely use Rachel again!”




16. Cierra J.

“Cierra took excellent care of my pup making sure she got plenty of exercise and went above and beyond to make sure she ate her food since she wasn't eating well right away with the change of scenery”


17. Colin L.

“Colin took good care of my Doggos. They were in a good mood when I returned!!”


18. Jacquelynn S.
“Jacquelynn is a very respectful, responsible, and loving pet caregiver! I've had her take my pups on walks and watch them for extended time while my family was on vacation. She has also provided exceptional care for my cats when needed! I highly reccomended her and her services.”


19. Justin Y.
