“Maia was kind enough to come to a meet and greet visit days before the sitting job. I enjoyed our time chatting and getting to know a bit about her. I felt really good about leaving Sully with her. During the actual sitting job, she had planned many activities to help keep my high energy puppy busy. We know that they went for walks, played ball and much more as he was tired out! And that was a good thing! Looking forward to a repeat visit. Thanks Maia for taking such good care of Sully.”


“Samara had no issue working with Georgia during her hyper time of day. She corrected her behavior and informed us what worked for her, as we were open for ideas. We look forward to being able to watch the bond grow between the two of them when she is needed from time to time. She also included updates with pictures which was a huge plus for us.”


“Marti did a great job staying with my girls for a few days! I had lots of updates and pictures and my ladies just loved Marti! Great communication and an excellent experience.”


“Haley was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Penny! From the beginning, communication was clear, friendly, and prompt. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She arrived on time, followed all instructions perfectly, and left everything spotless. Penny clearly loved spending time with her. I could tell she was well cared for and happy when I got back. I wouldn't hesitate to book Haley again.”


“Samara did a great job! Our dog is anxious and has her quirks and Samara took it all into consideration when watching her. For some reason our dog was even more anxious than usual this time and Samara was very patient and allowed for her to warm up to her on her own time which we appreciated greatly! We would highly recommend!”


“Our girls had a great time with Marcus! He was very communicative throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures. We've never had a pet sitter before and Marcus provided us with such a wonderful experience that we're now much more open to having someone watch our girls in the future.”


“Amy was great and I highly recommend! She cared for my dog & cat overnight & sent picture updates throughout the day. Even my neighbors complemented seeing her walk my Nala and how good she was taking care of her. I will definitely hire her again. Thank you Amy!”


“Sarah was a lifesaver! We would not have been able to go out of town and were very skeptical about letting a stranger stay at our house. One of our dogs is extremely anxious so boarding is not an option. Sarah came to meet the dogs and immediately had us at ease with the questions she asked and knowledge she knew. She sent us several update pics of our fur babies while we were gone and we will definitely be booking Sarah again! Never again will I put a vacation on hold because I have no one to watch our dogs! Those days are over ❤️”


About: I’ve been dog sitting for the past 4 years, as well as growing up taking care of dogs as well. I understand the need for quality time and care needed for every pet! I currently work part-time (including weekends), so I will not be gone for more than 4-5 hours. I am applying for grad school starting in the fall, so updates will be coming on when that schedule will change. I have cared for pets that need more immediate care and attention and those that are more independent. Whatever your routine with you let us, I am quick to learn and ask questions to understand in order to keep their routines as consistent as possible.

“We had Sofia house sit and watch our dog while we went out of town and she was awesome! Sent lots of updates and took such good care of our pup and our home! We will definitely be requesting her again!”


About: Hello, my name is Kristin and I would love to help you and your pet out! Whether you need overnight sitting (in your own home) or daily check in’s I’m happy to help! I have over 12 years of pet sitting experience, ranging from bunnies to horses. I currently have a dog (a papillon named Arlo), a cat (named Jasper) and a horse (a saddlebred named Sanzo). They all have given me my fair share of daily tasks and obstacles. My personal experience has allowed me to adapt to any situation when it arises. I am also able to provide medical care when needed, including first aid, administering medication, etc. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for considering me to help you and your pet! I am an on the road sales rep so I have completely flexibility in my day to accommodate walks or check-ins! This job has allowed me to make sure my own dogs get daily check-ins and walks and I would love to help you with yours! Every animal is unique, and requires someone who is willing to meet them at their level. I promise to provide each pet with personalized care and attention, they are our kids after all :)

About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for a year, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!
