“Mia was wonderful with our cat and very responsive and always sent a bunch of pictures to us!! It was so sweet she even found out our cats little quirks such as his favorite thing of having a human scratch his scratching post with him haha. She also provided him with his oral steroids throughout. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”

About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and even reptiles. I am currently training to become a dog groomer and I’m taking classes to get my vet tech certification. I have the experience and knowledge necessary to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable and happy with me. I am currently working part time so I have the availability to care for your animals without anything impeding my ability to keep a close eye on them. My house is a large space with a very large fenced in back yard. I have two dogs that are easy to get along with. I have animal gates I can secure if you’d prefer your pets to be separated from my two small pups. I have 3 bedrooms so I can even dedicate a room to just your animal so they have a private and comfortable space.

“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”

“We had Amber come and drop in for a few days while we were away for our wedding. We were ak nervous at the thought of being away from our fur baby as we never have left him before. Amber was amazing and sent us a lot of updates with pictures. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have a doggo of my own and would love to meet yours as well!! Registered Nurse looking to walk dogs in my spare time. Thanks for trusting in me! Work a few days a week, and my schedule varies each week. I am very active and would love to walk and run your pet! I can accommodate and help with whatever your dog needs at that time, whether it’s just letting them run around your yard, playing with them, tiring them out on a long walk or run, providing companionship and snuggles, etc.. just let me know!

“Alex has good energy, excellent communication skills, and is extremely patient with detailed instructions. I recommend her without hesitation.”

“I did enjoy Randi services. Based on her observation, I will definitely check with the vets regarding Audi eating grass. Overall, she is good in taking care of our dog and not only that she kept the dog place clean.”

About: Safety is always my number one priority while pet sitting. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and cared for in a safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner guidelines to keep every pet healthy, comfortable, and protected at all times. Although I do work a part-time job, I try my best to fit pet sitting in my schedule because it’s what I love to do! Animals will always be well taken care of, I insure that your pets will be let out before I have to take off for work, making sure water is full and fresh. I will be back to love and care you’re pet in a timely manner! Although I do not offer boarding, I prefer watching animals in their owner’s home because I feel like it makes the animals more comfortable to be in a well-known environment. My biggest priority is making sure the owners have peace of mind while they are away and know that their animals are in a safe hands.

About: I got my first pet at 18, a kitten who was from a stray in the neighborhood. I still have that cat today she is 16 and a 1 year old rescued chihuahua mix. I’ve fostered over 30 dogs and a few kittens, volunteered at our local animal shelters and worked events trying to find pets loving homes. I love caring for animals and being a person animals trust. I am a self employed person so my schedule is very flexible, I take my own dog on daily walks and can fit things in easily. My animals are the center of my world and I am always wanting them to be safe, comfortable and loved. I will do the exact same for your babies within your household boundaries. But mine will always sleep in my bed! :)

“Madison accepted on very short notice, came and reacquainted with our dogs the next day and came right on time to visit with the pups.”

“Agnus and Dankster warmed up to Cassandra very quickly and were well taken care of!”

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’ve had pets my whole life (dogs, cats, rats, and guinea pigs) and have been pet-sitting and walking since I was a kid. As a teenager, I spent many summers volunteering at my local animal shelter. I have experience caring for animals with disabilities, dietary restrictions, anxiety, and other special needs, including medication administration and incontinence cleanup/hygiene. I’m very comfortable with large and high-energy pets, as well as with those who need a gentler touch. Senior dogs and cats have had a special place in my heart since my childhood pets grew up alongside me. I work part time as a special education assistant for medically fragile students. My schedule allows for plenty of extra time for pet care during the week. I’m available all day most weekends, though I occasionally take babysitting jobs as well. If we discuss a schedule ahead of time, I will never take a job that conflicts with it. I don’t offer boarding (I live in an apartment with a maxed-out pet limit) but I’m very careful and detail oriented. My work with both animals and children has taught me to always double check when it comes to safety and instructions. I exercise more caution than I would with my own pets since I know new situations can lead to unusual behavior. And I always take notes to make sure I’m doing everything as the owner instructs me to!

“Did everything as instructed. Daily updates and excellent communication.”

About: I have had the joy of sharing life with a wide variety of dogs in my time. I have lived with cats, small dogs and big dogs. I tend to prefer the bigger dogs myself, because I love their cuddles. I have also cohabitated with cats, and enjoy their cuddles and purr vibrations. I have trained all of my dogs with the positive reinforcement method. I understand that dogs love to have boundaries made clear, so that they can feel safe. I do not raise my voice with dogs, and focus on reinforcing the positive choices that they make. I am experienced with giving medications to animals, even grumpy senior cats. I am patient with all animals, reliable and responsible for all pet owners. I value having a trustworthy petsitter for my own pets, and want to offer that to others in return. I am currently available anytime for pet care. I have some hobbies, but can easily schedule around them. With my own dogs, I am very active. We go on walks daily and often do road trips to the beach. I care for pets with patience and respect for the animals needs as well as the owners requests and preferences. I am very clean and organized, and will leave any space I am in clean.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a child. I’ve taken care of clients pet babies in their home. Feeding, cleaning cat litter, playing with them and administering medication. Making them feel loved while their parents are away. I also have had the opportunity to volunteer at a horse therapy program where I cleaned stables, fed the horses, washed them, brushed them and cleaned their hoofs. I also assisted the mentally and physically disabled individuals on the horses while they were doing their lessons. I am currently retired and have all the time in the world to care for your pet babies. I have a large home that would be comfy and cozy for them I have an adequate yard to take your pet Babies in. I have a bike trail to walk them in and an open area to play with them.

“Chrystal was very responsive to messages and very helpful and understanding with how to care for our dogs. Can’t wait to have her visit our dogs again soon!”

“Fiona is such a happy pup after Kenzie takes care of her.”

About: Looking for more reviews? Check out Trusted House Sitters and search for my profile. I care for all living beings, but dogs are my go to when it comes to spending time and feeling at home in a world I choose. I've trained many breeds over the years and have heard various techniques. The older I've gotten the more formal the training I've received. All of which has been positive reinforcement training. I once went through a program that taught me how to train my own service animal. The techniques are very similar to the way I was during my early years when classes were not on my radar. My dog would simply go everywhere with me and learned how to behave in each setting without much effort at all. With the more formal training in recent years the fun part I find is desensitizing, shaping, training while playing, and having a great friend with me at all times. I do not claim to have had a ton of success reversing already spun habits. It's important to start pups young in many cases, though there are also many dogs that are easy going enough they can pick this up in no time. Whether you have a pet for the the home, all kinds, I will care for them as you do and I'll send you on your carefree way with full confidence. Boarding dogs at my house is limited to easy to manage temperaments and activity levels do to the fact our home is very small with hard wood and we have no fenced yard. My husband and I are both retired. I've recently lost my elder Irish Setter who spent most all his time with us. Now I have a Mini Poodle pup who's being trained to fill some pretty big shoes. So far it's smooth sailing! When going into others homes I simply follow their daily routines and instructions. My time is devoured to the animals. I rarely have things that would require me to shift focus. While at our house I make sure needs are met first, set the tone with rules of the house and have plenty of interactions with them through out the day. We take frequent walks and set up play time in the garage. I love the elders and yet can't pass up a puppy. I've not sat for cats in my home and would not feel comfortable doing so unless the owner knows something I don't know regarding their outings.

“Jessica was amazing with my kitty over Christmas. She communicated daily, sent pictures, and gave my kitty lots of treats, cuddles, and love. My kitty and house was well-cared for when I arrived home. She went above and beyond, bringing extra food when my kitty got low on wet food. I cannot recommend Jessica enough and will be my #1 choice when I need a sitter in the future.”
