“Rebecca was very compatible with my two dogs. I like that she sent me pictures and assured me they were doing fine. I will use her again anytime I need someone to come stay with my dogs.”


“Louann is clearly a big dog lover and someone you can trust with a your fur fam. I am THAT dog mom that will always get nervous leaving my pups in someone else's hands- especially for the first time. Louann made me feel at ease and sent updates with pics throughout her stay. The house was in the same condition I left it in, and she even washed the bedsheets before leaving.”


“Connor does a great job! Housesitting and dog care were his responsibilities for us. It is obvious he really enjoys fur babies. It does not appear to be just an avenue to make money for him. He is professional, courteous, and listens to instructions. Jake and his humans are immensely happy we found him!”


“Josh was great with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our weekend away without worrying about them. He messaged us if he had any questions regarding their care and even stayed a little late for us to ensure they weren’t in their crate for long. He even cleaned up the house and vacuumed, which was not expected. We will definitely be using him our next trip!”


“Amy was phenomenal dealing with our many animals and our home. She is kind, caring, and thoughtful. All of my animals were extremely comfortable with her and I felt confident going on vacation with them in her care.”


“Adrian was so amazing with our two pups! Our sweet babies can get very anxious but he kept them so calm and happy while we were away. He sends THE BEST pictures of your babies to update you. We will definitely be booking with him again.”


“Bayleigh was amazing! We get nervous leaving our two dogs where we go out of town, but Bayleigh was super responsive and prompt. We felt very at ease throughout our trip, and knew our pups were in good hands! We will definitely be booking Bayleigh again!”


“Sara is a wonderful pet sitter! She took excellent care of my elderly dog. She was kind, caring and understanding of his needs. Sara provided detailed updates with pictures every evening. I highly recommend her, she is the best pet sitter we have used. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again!”


About: Hey! I've had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and have been caring for them for just as long (of course under the supervision and guidance of my parents when I was younger!). I have lots of experience in caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from tiny puppies and kittens to lovely senior dogs and cats. I also have experience in caring for exotics and livestock as well, and honestly caring for and loving all animals is really my passion. I always make sure to feed on time, ensure there is always access to clean drinking water, and make sure litter boxes are cleaned daily, and of course bring pups outside for potty every couple of hours, or as needed. I also have experience in potty training puppies and litter training cats! I'd love to be a part of your journey in loving and caring for your fur baby! I'm currently a full-time college student (preferred name Wren, pronouns She/He/They), but I have lots of time between classes to stop by and care for your pet or to bring a pup out for a walk! I'm generally free all weekends, and usually have more time availability in the afternoons Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and it varies Tuesdays and Thursdays depending on the week. It is my personal goal and rule to ensure that there is always clean drinking water available for my, and your, pets. I always make sure that I am feeding the animals in my care on time depending on their usual schedule, and if food is always left out for them I make sure that there is always food available in their bowls. Its very important to me that pets feel loved and cared for, so I always try to dedicate time to your pet for play or just attention, and I always make sure to bring your pet outside for potty breaks every few hours (or as needed for the pet), and that litter boxes are kept clean. The comfort and safety of your pet is important to me, and I will do everything I can to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while in my care!

“Stacey is awesome! We needed a sitter last minute to attend a memorial service. She responded quickly & even made it out to meet the dogs before she was booked, which made us more comfortable knowing they’d be in great hands. She gave daily updates & sent pics. Our boys absolutely loved her! Definitely would recommend Stacey!”


“Natalie is an extraordinary lifeline to our family! She has wonderful communication skills, and spoiled our three rescue dogs rotten! We felt very at ease, knowing she was with our pups.We will continue to use Natalie for future pet sitting jobs.”


About: My close family has a total of 6 dogs that I’ve taken care of as well as taken on walks. Two of them are small dogs, two are medium sized, and the other two are large but not over 100 pounds. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I absolutely adore every dog and cat I meet :) As a freelance content creator working from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, or extended care based on your pet’s needs and your schedule. Whether it’s daily check-ins or longer visits, I’m committed to providing consistent, attentive care so your pets feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your instructions carefully—whether that means feeding, administering medication, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m attentive to their individual needs and body language, making sure they get plenty of affection and exercise while respecting their space and routine. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, ensuring a calm and positive experience while you’re away.

“Brittany is an absolute gem! While I was on vacation, she stayed in my home to care for my dog, Zoey. Brittany updated me daily with adorable videos and pictures of Zoey enjoying her walks, playtime, and relaxation. It was reassuring to see Zoey having such a great time in my absence. What truly stood out was Brittany's expertise and experience with animal training and behavior modification. She worked with Zoey to help her adjust to my absence, and I've noticed a significant improvement in her confidence and behavior. Even on daily walks, Zoey is more relaxed and less anxious—a skill that will continue to benefit us long after the stay. Brittany is not only incredibly talented with animals but also professional, respectful, and above all, trustworthy. Her commitment to ensuring both Zoey and I felt comfortable throughout the process was remarkable. She treated our home with the utmost care, which was reassuring and instilled a sense of security in her services. I am so impressed with her dedication and work ethic. Brittany has set a high bar, and I will undoubtedly be booking her again to care for Zoey in the future. If you're looking for a dependable, skilled, and compassionate pet sitter, look no further than Brittany!”



“Rosemarie is amazing! A total blessing to our family. She has taken extremely great care for our almost 17 year old blind, schnauzer. Her knowledge for his senior needs make the anxieties of leaving him behind, to a minimum. You can tell, she truly loves animals and gives her very best care.”


“Keira is an amazing sitter and also managed other house activities. She was punctual and provided timely updates with great pics of our furr babies, as well as a recap of the overall sitting. Highly recommend her and look forward to using her services in the near future.”


About: I have been working with animals since 2019 and love to be around them. I was a veterinary technician for 2 years. I have always loved working with animals. I am currently employed full-time as a veterinary receptionist and have over two years of experience in the veterinary field. I will be there immediately be there after work and before work. I will take care of them to the best of my ability. If anything is to happen I will immediately take your pet to the vet and let you know.

About: My pets are my kids, they thrive with routine and I thrive when I know I can trust their care taker to maintain the same level of care I would give them when I’m away for work or on vacation. Leaving them behind is sometimes necessary and each animal handles being away from their pet parent differently that’s where I come in. I will do everything in my power to not only maintain their routine but to help them thrive while you’re away with regular and reliable potty breaks, play time, training sessions so there are no gaps in progress or learning, walks, updates so you have peace of mind and sooth separation anxiety, and most importantly I will build a bond and report with your pet so they grow trust and love when I come to care for them just as much as you will! As a professional pet groomer I work part time and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I will work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! I do not currently offer pet care from my personal home, for my clients I work with the pet parent to learn their habits and routine to keep consistency for all involved and provide a seamless transition of care from the pet parent to myself and back to the pet parent again.

“Tiffany was amazing. She came over to meet our fur babies ahead of time. She even came early on the day of dog sitting. Our timid Charlie warmed up to her gradually and our lovable Stewie didn’t want her to leave. We will definitely call on her again if available.”


“Lauren is the best! She took great care of my 2 dogs and cat. Throughout my trip, Lauren eased my mind and let me know that they were doing well. Do yourself a favor and book Lauren!”
