“Lisa was able to accommodate us on very short notice and took wonderful care of our pups. We could tell during the meet and greet that she truly loves dogs. She was able to be patient and gentle with Harmony who is nervous about getting her harness on. They were totally calm when we returned, we would recommended Lisa and use her services again!”


“I'm a pet sitter myself so I can tell when someone cares about pets and takes good care of them. Amy was amazing with our babies. She always stayed in communication, sent many pictures, and made sure our babies had all their medications and food on time. She's a very sweet person and I will definitely be choosing her again in the future.”

“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”

“This was our third time having Tina house sit our two dogs while we were away for 9 nights. She always takes such good care of them! You can tell she really cares about animals. She plays fetch, cuddles, lets them sleep with her, follows our instructions to a T, and leaves the house so clean. I would recommend Tina to anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Bailey! I’m thrilled to help care for your furry family members. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, I can ensure your pet gets the exercise and attention they need. Let’s make some tails wag together! Im currently working on some extra schooling certifications while my husband works full time. I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your pets! I like to offer anything I can while I care for pets. Whatever they need, im there for! Extended walks, longer playtime, medication assistance, and anything in between!
About: At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.
“Alivia did an amazing job with my reactive, 60 lb Old English Sheepdog. Willa took to her immediately, which is rare and means she has the BEST vibes. She stayed with Willa in our apartment while I was out of state, gave regular updates, wasn’t afraid to ask questions, and I arrived home to a happy, healthy sheepdog and a clean apartment.”

“Kelsie did a wonderful job of caring for our two dogs, cat, and rabbits. She is very professional, reliable and communicative, and we would definitely have her sit for us again.”

“Cassandra house sat for our two dogs in our home while we took a weekend trip. She took great care of them and even stayed at home with them the whole weekend which was great for Black Jack’s separation anxiety. She sent photos and updates and followed all of our instructions to a T, including brushing the dog’s teeth. The house was also in good shape when we returned. We would happily use Cassandra’s services again!”

“Elene was amazing! She was communicative with any questions she had for us and sent regular updates with pictures of our pets. She took great care of our pets which gave us that peace of mind knowing our pets would be well taken care of. I would absolutely request Elene's services again.”

“Laycee was fantastic watching our three kitties in our home. She sent constant updates and literally trudged through a snowy hellscape to make sure our kitties were OK during the post Christmas 2021 'snow-pocalypse'. We retuned home to find our house just as we left it and our kitties happy and fed.”


“Claire was an amazing sitter, couldn’t recommend more! My dog Evie didn’t want her to leave! Claire was very communicative, flexible with my arrival back, and was a joy to work with.”

“Ada house sitter and cared for our dog for 3 days and 2 nights. She sent several pictures each day and was a very effective communicator. My dog was happy to have her company. I will be booking her again. The house was maintained very well by Ada.”

“Madeline has ways been great with our fur babies. We had used her for several day-sits when our pup was "little". Our first overnight was worry-free because Madeline does such a good job taking care of our dog and cat. She left the house clean and tidy. Would highly recommend Madeline.”


About: I believe the best thing about pet sitting is offering pets the same love and attention that their owners give them. I am easy going, very reliable and will follow all instructions for your pet’s care. I care for both domestic and farm animals. ❤️ I’m retired so my schedule is flexible. That makes it easier for drop in visits. When I stay over, I may need to leave for an errand but I will be at your home as expected. I respect your privacy and will care for your home like it is my own. I depend on repeat bookings so you can expect the best service!
About: Hi, my name is Isabella. I'm 19 years old and have had the pleasure of caring for and meeting many fascinating animals, including reptiles, felines, canines, and more. I am an animal enthusiast studying biology and zoology in high school. I have grown up with animals, and to this day, I have had rats, cats, dogs, and birds. I currently don’t work at the moment, which means more time to see your adorable animals! But I am planning to return to college in early September. -My availability is 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday. Since I am home most of my day, I spend a lot of time with my animals. Our routine starts as follows: wet food for herbiee in the morning and for Tutsi FreshPet I refill their water with the coldest and clean the dish every morning. I take Tutsi out and come back to pet Herbert. Usually we just relax and cuddle until it’s time to pick up my boyfriend from work.
“Natalia was very conscientious and meticulous with my home and my dog. I was gone for a week and she took care of everything so I didn’t have to worry. My dog loves her and I’ll use her again! Thanks Natalia!”
