Will def be booking again and would recommend to anyone!”

About: I have worked as an animal sitter since graduating from college in 2010. We lost our two adopted dogs this year at the ripe old ages of 17 and 14 and have not brought any new indoor pets into our home. I have volunteered with animals and worked in a veterinary setting with large animals (horses mostly!) I graduated with a degree in animal sciences. I am well equipped for special needs dogs with a large dog stroller and wheelchair! I work outside of the home 4 days a week and am home Friday through Sunday to spend as much time with your pet as they need! I love to run, so if you have a high-energy dog, then reach out to me! We can wear each other out. Our home is dog friendly with a large fenced in yard with indoor access for dogs that prefer to make their own indoor/outdoor schedule. We love to have pups and cats snuggle on the couch with us or play in our large yard. We have farm animals, lots of new smells and places to explore!
“Anna was great with my dogs yet again. My shepherd can be high maintenance but Anna put in a lot of effort to bring the dogs to sniffspots to give them safe places to play after she got back from work and was patient with her demands for an early bedtime and early am breakfast and potty time. We will definitely book with Anna again!”
“Steph was a great dog and house sitter for the long weekend. Our Boxer dog got to stay at home and with someone that obviously cares for dogs. Very responsive and easy to coordinate with. Will definitely look to book with her more in the future.”
“First time working with Kevin, certainly won't be the last!!! Great communication, my pups loved him and they're walks. Dogs were happy when I came home, the house was left in perfect condition. Thanks Again Kevin!”
About: I have taken animal science classes for past 4 years and previously worked at doggy daycare and boarding facilities. I am also proficient on administering many specialized medications such as insulin and heart meds. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old and have worked with all types of dogs from Chihuahua puppies to senior Great Danes. I am currently working part time, usually from home while going into the office a few days a week. I would be free to visit any pups all throughout the day on most weekdays, usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, as well as the weekend. I always ensure that whatever animal I am taking care of is comfortable and feels that they are in a safe environment as well as others around them. Being with people other than their parents can be a stressful situation for some pets and I work to make that encounter as stress free as possible.
“Sam was wonderful! She took great care of our 115 lb Leonberger and of our house while she stayed here. She was great at communicating with us and sending pictures along the way.”
“Tessia stepped in at the last minute to save my vacation. Normally I would do a short trial to be sure my dog would be ok with a new overnight sitter. No chance to do that this time so I was a little worried but it went pretty well. My dog was happy with Tessia and well cared for. I am very grateful!”
“Shea and Nicole were so great. I would absolutely recommend them. They were able to do a last minute booking with us and were very communicative. They took the pups on many walks and played lots of ball in the backyard!! Loved all the pictures they sent too.”
“Tim was great with our senior dog. He provided regular updates to let us know how our pup was doing, making us feel comfortable that he was being well taken care of by TIm. Older dogs come with a lot of quirks and Tim rolled with all of them - a hunger strike, meds, fatty tumors, etc. Our boy is so sweet and we felt he was well taken care of and spoiled by Tim. Would 100% recommend him!”
“Thank you again Chyna for the excellent care you gave Fitzgerald! Chyna is one of the few that my cat Fitzgerald actually likes! She has removed our fear when we leave our boy because she takes such great care of him. She sends multiple videos and pictures while we are gone. Highly recommend Chyna!”
About: Hey, I’m Rae. I love animals, including humxnity. I am here to walk your doggo. 🦮🐕🦺🐾 My main professional experience dates back to when I was 14yrs young working at a large dog boarding kennel/daycare. Then I would walk dogs, clean kennels, feed the animals, rotate the dogs in daycare.

I work as an accountant and my days are flexible mainly dependent on the business day of the month. I am available through the end of the Summer and there after. Whatever accommodations needed we will discuss upfront! We will ensure we are a proper match before engaging in business. I am able to lift 50lbs and can walk long distances.
“Beth and Samantha were fabulous! They provided fantastic care for our pup and provided us great updates along the way. Great peace of mind as they stayed at our house and looked after our pup while we were gone for the night. Can’t say enough about their care for our little guy, who absolutely has a new best friend. He was all tuckered out with a wagging tail when we got home. Will definitely reach out again and highly recommend!”

Sam was fantastic!! She sent daily updates and pictures with Chop, she went above and beyond making sure he was loved and was able to keep doing all of his favorite activities while we were out of town. She was extremely quick to communicate with and was very easy to plan and coordinate times. Will definitely have her watch Chop again!
Chloe was an absolute gem! She was warm, conscientious, and completely respectful of our home. She even folded her dirty linens and left them by the washer, saying, “Your house is so tidy, I wanted to keep it that way.” Who does that? This girl was raised right! But even more importantly—she was fantastic with our dogs. She clearly cared for them with love and attention, sending us a few sweet photo updates along the way. From the looks of it, they were living their best lives—enjoying slumber snuggles in the bed and a little extra pampering. They seemed relaxed, happy, and well cared for when we returned. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. We would gladly have Chloe back and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter who treats your pets (and your home) with genuine care.
We highly recommend Patrick. He was absolutely wonderful with our dog Gilligan. We utilized the overnight pet sitting service in our home. Patrick was very accommodating and to better get to know us, he offered to visit our home twice prior to our trip. One of these visits he took Gilligan for a walk, while I just tagged along. He handled Gilligan beautifully, cleaned up after him, let him stop and sniff, but then encouraged him along. He stopped and talked with a neighbor, while their dog and Gilligan said hello. Patrick was a natural. It was obvious he loved dogs and took his job very seriously. Patrick provided us with references without us asking. We called all of them and heard nothing but very positive comments. Patrick also offered to talk with our previous sitter (who was moving away) to gain even more knowledge of Gilligan and how to best care for him. I was doing all I could to find the best caregiver for Gilligan, and Patrick made it easy. It was all pretty impressive. Although we were gone for only one night, Patrick kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using Patrick again.
Anna was great with my dogs yet again. My shepherd can be high maintenance but Anna put in a lot of effort to bring the dogs to sniffspots to give them safe places to play after she got back from work and was patient with her demands for an early bedtime and early am breakfast and potty time. We will definitely book with Anna again!
