“I know Laura as Rene and they did an amazing job watching our husky Luna while we were on a cruise! We expected to have cell and Wi-Fi reception for the duration of our trip but as it turns out we did not. That didn’t phase Rene as they still sent us photos and updates throughout and was able to keep Luna calm during 4th of July fireworks. Rene is a super sitter and we will definitely be using them again. Luna can’t wait for more either”

“Adrianna was great! She provided helpful updates and photos throughout her stay and left our home in great shape. Our cat was happy and well cared for. We plan to book with Adrianna again.”

“Liz was wonderful and my pup loves her!! She kept me updated with pictures and my pup was so comfortable with her. I will absolutely have Liz stay with my pup again!!”


“Chloe was great! I got plenty of updates and photos, she handled insulin injections for the old dog which was a huge plus and everything went very well!”

“Keegan watched our 15 month golden retriever while we were out of town! We’d happily have her watch him in the future - she took great care of him and kept in contact with us which we appreciated! Highly recommend.”

About: I have provided care for dogs and cats for over 20+ years. I was the first to volunteer in my youth to "stay home" with the animals. I am thoughtful and reliable and understand the importance of a maintained routine. I approach all visits with patience, care, and professionalism. I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with recent health concerns. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs. I prioritize maintaining your pet's normal routine to reduce any stress and ensure comfort and safety. I follow care instructions closely and monitor behavior and overall well being. I communicate regularly and provide all requested updates. I treat the client's home with care, professionalism and discretion at all times. I am an active person and enjoy walks/runs.
“Havana was an absolute dream to work with and I could not recommend her enough!! Our sweet dog is a very anxious and selective girlie and she warmed up to Havana much quicker than she typically warms up to people! Havana was great about prioritizing her comfort, minimizing stress, and building trust. She was also extremely detail oriented and communicative and sent regular updates and check ins. Not only was she amazing with our dog, but we also had some emergency flooding that happened right before we left and Havana went above and beyond to help out with making sure maintenance could do what they needed while we were away. She left our place in great condition and gave us such peace of mind while we were gone. I’ll definitely be using Havana again and couldn’t say enough great things about her!”

“Sophia came over the day before for a meet n greet and I immediately knew it would be a great fit. She stayed the night with my elderly dog and pup and gave them lots of love. I felt confident they were well taken care of. She sent pictures throughout her stay (which I love)! I plan on using her for over night stays in the future!”

“Madison is fantastic! She took such good care of my pack! She made sure everyone ate, even though my Andy is scared to eat around people he isn’t very familiar with!! I will have Madison watch my boys every time we need a sitter!! Plus she left the house in immaculate shape - I couldn’t tell she was here!!”

“They did a wonderful job with my two dogs and a cat while I was out of town for the holidays! Easy to communicate with, flexible, and especially knowledgeable about pitbull mixes needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of various pets since I was 10. I have cared for many dogs, including puppies and seniors, but I also have experience caring for cats and other pets as well. My attention to detail, cleanliness, and energetic attitude will make me the perfect candidate to care for your pet! I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, so I’m able to drop in and check on your pet at a moment’s notice. I’m willing to take on jobs last minute and can care for many pets a day. Before my beloved dogs Rosie and Sissie passed away due to old age, I took pride in caring for them every day. I understand the importance of having animals in our lives not just as pets, but as family. Caring for your pets would allow me to utilize my experience and fill the hole in my heart that was caused by the passing of my own fur babies ❤️

“Daniella was absolutely amazing! She stopped by 2 times before the sit for my stranger-nervous dog to get to know her. She was very quick to respond to my messages, and shared lots of photos of them on walks or on the couch cuddling. I would happily have Daniella dog-sit for me again!”

“Highly recommend Jon for pet sitting. He looked after our dog and cat (Buddy and Miso) and was professional, punctual, and communicative. He sent frequent updates and photos and was always available via text if we needed anything. A stress-free experience for us and our pets. We will definitely use his services again."”

About: I have grown up loving and caring for animals and have lived with cats and dogs. Many neighbors, friends, and community members rely on me to care for their pets, which include dogs, cats, and other cherished creatures. I have years of experience working with reactive dogs, as my own dog struggles with reactivity. I have administered medication to various animals and have probably spent hours of my life cleaning pet-made messes! I am a college student, so while I am in school I will be available on weekday afternoons (around 3:00 onward) and can work any time on weekends! Starting mid-June I will be on break and have greater weekday flexibility (available mornings). I am accustomed to spending long stretches of time at clients' homes, adapting to the rhythms of pets' schedules, staying overnight if needed. I always settle in slowly, with gentle movements, to help the pet feel at ease when I am around. This is their home, and I'm a guest in it!
“Jada has been amazing! Our two boys, dog and cat, vibed well with her. Even though our cat is usually shy, he was able to warm up to her really quick. Highly recommend Jada to take care of my fur babies!”
About: I have always had dogs in my life. Since I was born I’ve always had a dog and cat beside me. Although I may lack time of experience to other sitters I make up with true love and compassion for dogs and cats. Your pet will truly be loved and taken care of as if they were my own! As I am a full time student at CSU a lot of my day is taken up by class, but I am free in the mornings and late afternoons to check up, hangout, or walk any dogs! As for weekend I have a lot mor free time to work! Our dogs and cats are part of the family so giving them to someone for them to take care of can be scary. With me you have nothing to fear as I will treat your dog or cat with the best care and love as if they were my own! I will always look out for their best interest and make sure that they are having a good time!

Sophia was an amazing sitter for our anxious girl, Tala! She was incredibly sweet and communicative and left our home in great shape. She regularly send multiple photos and updates throughout the day and went above and beyond to spoil our girl the same way we would, even making her eggs for breakfast! It was clear that Tala warmed up quickly and felt safe with Sophia, which in turn made us feel such peace of mind leaving on our trip. She followed instructions perfectly and treated our girl with love, we couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely be using Sophia again in the future!

Lindsey did a house sit for me this time. And she is just a gem! My cat is always so happy and content when she stays with him. I can genuinely tell he was well loved based on how relaxed he is upon my return. She also did an amazing job caring for my golden retriever— giving him love, medicine, and good play time. I felt safe and was relieved to have her watch my pets and home. Thank you Lindsey! You’re the best! 💕

Havana house/dog sat for us for 3 nights and 4 days and was phenomenal! Our dog Maya was very happy and I don't think she missed us at all, which is the highest compliment that I can give. Havana sent us photos and updates once a day, her communication was excellent. She walked Maya every day and played and cuddled with her. When we got home our house was spotless. I highly recommend Havana for house and dog sitting!

We had a wonderful housesitting experience with Jada! While we were gone, we received daily photos/videos and highlights from the day. She incorporated our routines and training methods where applicable, and was attentive to Maple’s specific needs. The house was just as we left it and we came home to a happy pup. We would recommend and rebook with Jada!
