“I can not say enough great things about Libah. She made my trip so much better because I had no worries about leaving her with my boy Journey. She provided daily pictures and messages. Some days there were multiple communications. She was absoluty great. I would without a doubt, would without hesitation use her again. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter, she is the one you should go to!!”



“This was our second time using Jamie and things went very well just like the first time. We have her booked again for travel in November and January. She has been easy to work and communicate with, and the pups seem like all went well when we return home. We look forward to the consistency of the same person, so as we travel more frequently than we have in the past they feel safe and secure, and not stressed by a constant change of sitters.”


“Vanessa was an awesome sitter! I need help very last minute and she got us in and took care of my sweet Coco like I would. She sent pictures and kept me up to date throughout the day. She relieved a lot of my stress with her care and I will definitely book with her again in the future. She also made sure to take extra care because my Coco is a senior with some health challenges and Coco warned right up to her”


“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”


About: I love animals and have since a young age. When I was younger, before my family had a dog, I would walk all the neighbors dogs and host doggy day cares which involved setting up old baby gates in the yard and an open invitation for all fur babies. I have been described as having golden retriever energy as I am very active, love spending time outside, and try my best to be a friend to all. I would be more than happy to walk, play, and cuddle with your furry loved one and treat them as my own. I currently work from 8 to 5, however, outside of work my schedule is very flexible. Morning or evenings, I would be happy to dedicate my time to providing for pets. I believe the most important thing is respect. Whether that be respect for your routines, your pets' comfort, or or your home. When I’m in someone’s home, I’m always courteous of the space, belongings, and house rules

“Ashlee is amazing. We highly recommend her as a sitter. Booking with her was fast and easy. She is fast to respond. Meet and greet was smooth and simple. We had not be gone for long and she was already sending us pictures of our Bruno. We’ve had many great sitters on and off of Rover, but we feel the most comfortable leaving Bruno in her care.”


“McKenna and Kelly took such good care of my babies and gave them so much attention. They sent lots of pictures and updates. I was able to have piece of mind on my trip knowing they were so well cared for. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely keep them in mind for the future!”


About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and recently started watching pets for my friends & neighbors. I enjoy being with animals and making sure they are happy and pampered. I'm retired and I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets any time you need. Days, nights, weekends, holidays and overnight stays welcome. Whatever your pet needs to stay healthy and active I can accommodate. Walking, playing, scooping, feeding, watering, and dosing meds plus a daily update with photo.

“Erin watched our two dogs for over a week. She did a great job with communicating daily and sending cute pics and videos. Highly recommend Erin! We already have her booked for next trip.”


About: Hi! I'm Aya! I work fully remote and recently moved to the area, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I don’t have pets of my own right now, but I’ve cared for the dogs and cats of friends and family for years. I’m excited to explore the neighborhood while taking your fur babies on walks, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve! Since I work fully remote, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I can take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I enjoy having the chance to get outside and explore the neighborhood with pets. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to spend extra time making sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, or medications. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, love, and attention, and I always keep the home tidy and secure. I’m also happy to send photo and text updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Nicole is an exceptional dog sitter—she engages with your pet, sends daily photos and upon returning home, you cannot tell she was in the home. The next time we leave, Nicole will be the first person we contact.”


“Having Bailey housesit for us was such a gift. Her communication was great, she helped problem solve kitty situations while we were away, and I knew our kittos were in good caring hands. We came home after being away for just over a week to a tidy home and happy kitties. I wouldn’t hesitate asking her to help us again.”



“I highly recommend Alex, he was so sweet and very responsive. He took pictures and he let me know how the animals were doing. Alex went above and beyond to make sure my animals were well taken care of. He also took care of our home like it was his own, we appreciate that! I will definitely be using Alex again.”


About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.

About: I have grown up around cats and Dogs all my life. My family has had two family Dogs and 3 cats-who were more so mine, but I still took special care of our Dogs :) If you look at my photos you will see a lot of our family Dog- Max! I love taking him out to the dog park to play with other dogs or taking it easy with him by my side sunbathing. Max and I love little outdoor adventures! And with your pup, we could go on an adventure too! Whether you want your dog to go for a stroll around the neighborhood or an extra-long walk around the park, I’m your girl! I work a full-time job 8 am-5 pm Monday-Friday. I am an early bird and like to wake up extra early to go for a walk or workout before work. This time before work can also be used to take care of your beloved pet. After work, I am flexible as I currently do not live with any pets of my own or have any other major responsibilities. With this in mind, I have the time to perform more than just the necessities of animal care, but to play with and bond with your pet. When caring for pets I make sure to keep the environment safe. For example, if there is a dog who likes to chew on things he should not, I make sure doors remain closed to places he should not be/ I do not have a view of. I also make sure to keep the house exactly the way I entered it, as all items should be in their correct places, and any messes created should be documented and cleaned. When it comes to Dog walking, I make sure to walk at appropriate times. And if you want your dog to go for a walk in a park- I make sure to go to parks I am familiar with.


“I lucked out finding Kim at the last minute. She was able to take care of the dog with a two day notice which was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even left me a note at the end that wrapped everything up so that I didn’t have any questions about how it went. I would most certainly recommend her but also book her again myself. I’ll already Recommended her to neighbors and friends.”


About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. I went through a full training course with my dog so I have experience with training. I have taken care of cats, dogs, puppies, and even a bird. I worked at a doggy day care while I was in college and absolutely loved it. I would say I have a lot of experience with different types of animals and have a love for them all! :) My schedule is very open, I am out of school with a lot of free time so what not better way to spend it than taking care of dogs! I will make sure to keep your home clean and tidy, I will take your dog for a lot of walks or if they want to relax, I can just spend time with them inside! I am very accommodating and will do whatever is best for your loved one. I LOVE going on walks on the beach or in the park and I love taking the dogs to the dog park to get energy out!

“Alexis was reliable and even met us before we left to go over directions in person. She was as fkexible as could be when our flights changed. She sent updates throughout to let us know our puppies were doing good. We are happy we found a trustworthy sitter for our babies. Thank you Alexis 😊”
