“Brandi was an absolute delight to work with. You will be instantly at ease with her caring for your pets. She is thorough, kind, and it was amazing to come home from a trip to happy and relaxed animals. Brandi communicates so well by sending pictures and updates. Will be using her services again and again! Thank you Brandi?”


2. Sara S.

“When our normal dog watcher was unavailable, Sara stepped in and made my wife and I extremely comfortable to trust her with our two dogs on short notice. Even with the short notice, she came out to meet our boys and answered all of our questions regarding our request for house sitting. Sara was so considerate of our two dogs while house sitting. She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.”

About: Hello! Are you looking for a pet sitter with experience who loves animals? I've been caring for pets since I was a child, starting with my family's first dog. I am reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing your furry friends with the best care possible! I understand the concerns you may have about your pets, and I assure you that all expectations will be met. My passion for animals is genuine; I have always had a sensitive heart when it comes to their needs. I am committed to giving your pets all the love and attention they deserve, including plenty of cuddles, playtime, and affection. I currently work a part-time job and attend church on Sunday mornings, but I want you to know that I will ensure your pets' needs are met and taken care of. I will spend as much time as possible with them and make sure they are comfortable and safe before heading to church or work. I don't have much on my plate, so I will be available most of the time! In your home, I will provide the best care for your furry friend. The house will be kept clean and tidy, and if any messes occur, I will ensure everything is spotless before you return. I can either crate your dog or cat, stay the night with them, or keep them company throughout the night—whatever your pet needs. They will be well-fed and played with, so you can be confident that your pets will be cared for, understood, and loved.

“This was a long stay and we were able to enjoy the time away knowing our pup was well cared for at home enjoying Regular walks and outside play.”


5. Kristin C.

“From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!”


6. Rosalind O.

“Came home to a happy dog. She was also great about sending updates and pics daily. Will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a in home dog sitter while on vacation.”


7. Lette P.

“Did such a great job taking house sitting and taking care of both dogs. Loved all the pictures ?”


8. Brogan A.

“We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️”


9. Ali M.

11. Vivian G.

“10/10 recommend she was very good with my high energy dog and it is hard to find someone who is as good with him as her, will definitely use her again. Glad to have found her!”


12. AnnaMarie G.

“When we reached out to AnnaMarie, we quickly set up a time for a meet-and-greet with Tanner. Tanner was a bit nervous about meeting someone new, but he quickly fell in love with AnnaMarie. AnnaMarie was incredible! She was so caring, thoughtful, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order while we were away. We had an amazing time having her as our house and pet sitter. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring house and pet sitter, look no further than AnnaMarie. She’s the best!”


13. Kennedy T.
About: I can be very energetic and love playing with high energy dogs. I especially love training dogs and teaching them new skills. I’m also great at comforting animals in their time of need and am very detail oriented; therefore, I pick up on your dog’s cues that others may not! I currently work part time; therefore, I have plenty of time to care for your pets as you need. I am also a college student from Fall-Spring but have summers off. I have lots of dog sitting experience and am great at being your dog’s substitute owner in their time of need. I can be described as a very trustworthy individual and will keep your pets safe to the best of my ability!

Ashley has watched Isla many times either letting her out when I’ve been gone for a long day and for weekend getaways! Ashley is very caring and respectful of other people’s homes. I highly recommend her to cuddle and take care of your pooch, just as she would her own!!”


16. Eric & Loni T.

20. Lainey P.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of reliable and compassionate care for your furry family members. I’ve house-sat multiple times and am comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications, and making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I enjoy all breeds and temperaments and love spending quality time playing, walking, or just relaxing with them. I’m available during my lunch break, in the evenings, and most weekends, making it easy for me to provide check-ins, walks, feedings, or overnight care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to keep your home just as you left it. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently am working part time, as well as a full time online college student. I have a lengthy lunch break so I would be able to stop by during lunch to let the puppies out to potty and get some fresh air! Friday, Saturday and Sundays are completely open! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Here’s how I typically approach it: • Follow Their Usual Routine: I stick to their regular feeding schedule, walk times, and play routines to help them feel secure and comfortable. • Provide Plenty of Attention: I spend quality time with each pet—whether that’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or just being present—based on their personality and preferences. • Keep Their Environment Clean: I handle all basic cleaning needs, including litter boxes, food/water bowls, and any accidents or messes that might happen. • Monitor Health and Behavior: I keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or appetite and will communicate with the owner right away if anything seems off. • Respect the Home: I treat the home with care and respect, keeping things clean and tidy, and making sure everything is secure when I leave. • Communicate Regularly: I provide updates and photos so pet parents know their furry family members are happy and safe. My goal is to make sure both the pet and their owner feel at ease while they’re apart.
