“Tena did great with our babies! I was so nervous to leave them behind this trip. She gave them great care and attention and even managed to get one of my more aloof cats to sniff her! She is awesome!”


“Chris was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog Bailey and even brought her dog over to play. Her daily pictures and updates were very welcome and gave us a sense of well-being while we were away. We'll definitely use her services again.”


“There’s no words that can describe the amazing experience my dogs and I had using Heathers house sitting and dog walking services! My dogs used to go the kennel and would seem depressed and scared when getting them home. I came back after 4 days and the dogs acted like I just left. Apparently they didn’t need to miss me since they were showered with love and affection the entire time. Heather doesn’t mention it on her profile, but she sends you the most fantastic photos of your pet!! The photos you receive seem like you hired her specifically for glamor shots of your pets. I’m actually excited to take another vacation knowing that there’s an amazing soul like Heather that will care for your pets like they are her own!”


“She was great with Bailey, hiking with her too. We like that she treats her as if she is her Dog but at the same token lets us know if she’s doing something that we haven’t discussed she would contact us. You know how hard it is to be gone for 2 weeks so we are happy to have Shanisa as another friend/family & dog sitter in our life she very trustworthy.”


“Michaela was great. We knew our pup would be well taken care of after our meet and greet. She sent us photos and gave us updates on his eating, drinking and exercise. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Michaela again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes and temperaments for over 6 years. Having two of my own rescue fur babies and helping friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that pets respond well to. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like my own—whether that’s administering medication, going on long walks, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I am currently in the process of credentialing for a full-time healthcare job, so I am available at whatever day and times work best for others! I am unable to have dogs at my home, but am happy and willing to follow any instructions you provide me for taking care of your fur baby in their home and environment! I have a car which I can transport them to fun adventures or we can hang out at your house/neighborhood. My 2.5 year old fur baby is also dog-friendly if you’d like your pet to have a dog play companion.


“Rackeeem was amazing! He took care of our house and our furry babies (a cat and a dog). He is great with animals. My cat is a very shy one. He always hides when I am away. But somehow, after eleven years I have him, he said hi to Rackeen, and also played with him! I highly recommend him.”


“Terry is the most trustworthy, reliable, and responsible pet sitter! She sent consistent and detailed updates with pictures and videos. She communicated every day and made us feel so calm and relaxed while we were away because we knew our fur baby was being taken care of. She left our house cleaner than she found it and went above and beyond in her care for our pug and house! Our pug, Phoebe, loves Terry and we will be booking her again for every vacation we go on. I highly recommend Terry if you want someone who will prioritize your pet’s happiness, send tons of pictures and updates, and leave you feeling stress free upon your return home. We really cannot say enough good things about her!! She is the best there is!!”


“Sarah was great! It was my first time she sat overnight for my cat Katrina, but not the last! Sarah went above and beyond to take care of Katrina providing her with the special feeding instructions and giving her the affection she craved! Sarah also kept in touch morning and evening with photos and updates on anything I needed to know about what Katrina was doing and how Katrina was eating and what was going on with the house. I really appreciate having Sarah as an overnight petsitter for Katrina!”


“I cannot say enough good things about Kelsey! She is one of a kind! She took the best care of our two fur babies while we were on vacation and was always in constant communication with us about them! Her experience with dogs showed throughout the time she spent with them, especially with our Cattle dog! She always made sure our dogs had plenty of love and play time! I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Reid was just great!! We went on a family vacation to Italy and he knew how nervous I was about leaving my 2 pups because of a past experience. We were gone for 9 days and just after the first day I was at ease knowing Reid was home with my boys. He sent me videos and pics almost daily and was quick to respond when I was Checking in. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation knowing my boys were being taken care of! They looked happy in the pics too! We will definitely be using Reid in the future!”


About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was little, though it was mainly on and off. Even still, I have a lot of experience when it comes to dealing with the various behaviors dogs or cats like to exhibit. I can be very patient if your pet if they seem to be shy, or I can play with them all day if they just have WAY too much energy. I'm adaptable and can cater to whatever your pet desires. My main form of transportation is the bus. I work just about all day from Monday-Friday every week. I'm only available on Saturday and Sunday, but it will be for the entire day. I may have to do work on my laptop, however. I will be taking the bus everywhere I go. I cannot have pets inside my own home, so I have no choice but to travel to someone else's in order to pet sit. I care for pets by usually just letting them travel wherever they want inside the house, feeding them, when need be, and playing with them whenever they desire.

“Polina did an excellent job staying at our house with our dog Flora for several days! She followed my dogs schedule, made sure she was walked/pooped/fed/cuddled, and kept us updated with lots of pictures and reports! She even helped us out by going the extra mile and feeding our turtle, AND watered my garden! I would highly recommend Polina to watch your dog! Thanks so much Polina!”
