“Alli is simply amazing. She was fantastic watching our sweet fur girl for five nights in our home, loving on her, taking her to the dog park and playdates, and just being an all around great substitute dog mom. She also took excellent care of our home. She is a gem, will definitely use her services again - would highly highly recommend!!”
“Mick is what it’s about! The furry trio all came out to play and were happy and relaxed when we got home, and mick sent some absolutely hilarious pictures. She’s our go-to that’s for sure!”
About: I offer expert and compassionate care for all sorts of pets, from energetic dogs and cuddly cats to unique birds and reptiles. My skills include assessing and fulfilling individual animal care needs, managing their fitness routines, and ensuring a safe, happy environment. Your furry, feathered, or scaled family member will be in capable and caring hands. While I work full-time Monday-Friday, I'm available for walks and plays every weekday after 4 PM. I can also pop in for midday check-ins during my 12-1 PM lunch break. On weekends, I'm completely free and excited to offer extended care, including adventurous Saturday hikes to give your pets lots of exercise and fun! I rigorously adhere to all specific instructions for feeding, medication, exercise, and unique requirements for dogs, cats, fish, or other unique pets. I strive to maintain their familiar routine, sending you photo updates for your peace of mind.

“Sofia was exactly what we needed to find in a house sitter. After having numerous bad experiences with other individuals, it was such a relief to come home and find everything in perfect condition. Our plants, pets, and most importantly our dog, were well cared for. Our house was clean, and we are beyond happy. 10/10 would recommend Sofia, and will be booking her again in the future.”
About: I raised a dog from 2018 to 2025. Train it to learn to shake hands, pick up frisbee, pick up balls, play games and various skills. I'm free from Monday to Wednesday. And the weekend night. My means of transportation is the bus Or you can give me a ride if you can. If necessary, you can do skill training.

“Ayah was great and took excellent care of our dogs and home. We came home to happy pups and a clean house and she was super helpful when our plane was delayed. We’d have her house/pet sit again anytime!”
About: I have taken care of many different animals: dogs, cats, hamsters, bunny’s, birds, and fish. I have been house sitting/animal care since I was 13, i’m looking forward to meeting new clients/ pets! I am an online college student looking for a flexible part time gig, I am very flexible on time/days, and am usually available anytime or with short notice! I like to meet and speak with my clients before hand for house/pet sitting, to see exactly how to care for your pet. I will follow instructions closely, and make sure they’re very comfortable!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire 33 years of living. I have a doggo of my own. I love dogs from big to small and take care of them as best as possible. I work full time, 8:30-4pm, and am happy to take care of them once I am out of work. I am available on weekends including Fridays after work, Saturdays & Sundays. I am happy to go to your house as I feel it may be more comfortable for your dog to stay and hang at home! I am happy to take them out as much as they need and give them all the love they deserve.
About: I have taken care of pups of all ages and sizes! Love them all!! Know how to keep them safe and love giving them plenty of exercise and pets! Have also cared for pets requiring medication and extra needs. I am a nurse and currently work 8-5 Monday through Friday with an hour off in the middle of the day. Can take your pup on a walk in the morning, out for a little mid day break, and then on a longer stroll/play after work. Weekends I’m able to take your pupper on longer hikes and adventures! I live with two cats, so having your pet stay with me would depend on how they all get along. I am happy to take care of your pets in their own space though! This also helps to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress and anxiety for your pets. I follow the feeding and exercise schedule provided by the owner, ensuring the pets receive the same level of care and attention they are accustomed to. I offer walks, hikes, and playtime, particularly for active breeds, to keep them healthy and happy. I also provide companionship, giving pets plenty of affection and attention. For extended care, I stay overnight if needed, ensuring the pets are safe and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Regardless of the setting, my priority is to ensure each pet feels loved, secure, and well-cared-for. My experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals enable me to offer top-notch care tailored to each pet's needs.

Jordon B.
“Jordan Browning has been the best pet sitter I have ever had. He has taken care of not only my cats and dogs at home, but other animals, (fish, birds, reptiles) that are housed at the University where my husband teaches. He's gives loving care, with consistent results of return love from the animals. Jordan has gone over and above what I ask, such as administering mediation to taking care of medical issues. If it is dependability of consistent service, Jordan would be the person to hire.”

She goes out of her way to stimulate and interact with Buck, take him on long walks, and hug on him when he needs it. Great dog-sitter and totally trustworthy. Highly recommended!”

Libby A.
“Libby is the petsitter of your dreams! Libby was one of the first sitters we asked to watch our new cat, Yaga, while my husband and I were both away. Yaga is a curious, rambunctious, attention-loving little kitty, so we were worried that she would be bored or lonely while were gone. Luckily for us, Libby is a super attentive and caring petsitter who went the extra mile to take great care of Yaga and keep us updated with lots of photos and videos of them playing together. We wholeheartedly recommend Libby to anyone who's in need of a petsitter -- just be warned that they'll be spoiled by the time you get back!”

Tessie had a medical emergency that required a visit to the vet. EJ handled the issue proffessionaly and compasionately and made sure the Tessie got the proper treatment, kept me informed, and followed up with the appropriate treatment when they returned home. Tessie is doing well. Tessie was well cared for while I was away. The house was spotless. EJ was exceptional.
