“Just moved to the area and had to scramble to find a dogsitter for a trip back home. Olivia did a fantastic job caring for our two slightly neurotic goofballs. She went the extra mile with pictures, updates, and care. One of our pups accidentally hurt the other one in a wrestling match, and she made sure to diligently clean and bandage him up to make sure he stayed healthy and everything healed up quickly. Will definitely be calling Olivia again the next time we need to head out of town!”

“Morgan was a great dog sitter for our 2 dogs that can be quirky at times. She is reliable, trustworthy, kind & respectful. It’s obvious that she really cares about your pets. She was very patient with our giant breed dog that was afraid to go outside for a potty break in the rain & also when our other dog decided to go hunting rabbits in our backyard & did not want to release it to come back in the house. Many pet sitters would’ve run for the hills after this experience, yet she was very patient with our dogs & took very good care of them. She also communicated with us about our pets which was wonderful. We plan to hire Morgan again & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Lisa made our weekend trip stress free. She cared for our two pups and our home, and left everything better than she found it. Pups were happy and relaxed when we got home. Looking forward to having Lisa care for our dogs again!”


“Nathan took amazing care of my dog and two cats! He sent picture updates everyday and kept my house so clean :) my pets were in the best hands and I can’t recommend him enough! Book w Nathan 🙏🏼”

“Camdyn did such a great job with our 2 dogs and 1 cat! She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates. She also took great care of our home. Highly recommend her!”

“With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”

“Cheyenne took great care of all of our furry friends and our home while we were out of town, which included our pigs and chickens. Her communication was great, and she was such a life-saver when our flight was cancelled and we were delayed 3 days. Thank you Cheyenne! I look forward to booking your services the next time we need a housesitter.”

“Sierra was incredible with our dog! She stayed right at our house, sent updates, pictures and took such good care of him! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby! We would definitely have her watch him again!”

“Chris has watched Sadie 2 times now, he has taken excellent care of our home and our very anxious old lady. He’s very enjoyable person to chat with as well and made us feel very comfortable entrusting him. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to use him exclusively if his schedule permits it.”

“I have a timid chihuahua that doesn’t love new people. Jamie was great in being patient with the pup and let her approach Jamie at her own pace. Patience is certainly key with some of these timid breeds, she did great.”

“Taylor was super communicative and provided multiple updates a day with pictures. She took our pups on walks and gave them lots of cuddles and puzzle activities throughout her stay. The girls loved having her, and we felt extremely comfortable leaving them with her. We will definitely book with Taylor again.”

“Lashyia was a fantastic and reliable pet sitter who went above and beyond in watching my 3-month old puppy. She worked on training with her and left everything clean and tidy. I absolutely recommend her and plan to use her services again when I’m next out of town.”

“Absolutely phenomenal sitter and we will 100% ask her to look after our kitty again. She loved her just as much as we do and we can’t be more thankful. She was a great houseguest and she was a great sitter.”

“I was nervous leaving my pets for a trip since I haven’t used this app but before but Nicolas let me know with plenty of updates that my pets were safe and getting lots of attention. Nicolas noticed their personalities and gave them lots of play time, updating me with pictures and details on how they were doing. Would 11/10 recommend Nicolas as a dog or house sitter. Thank you!”

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid I would help out friend, family members, and neighbors with their pets. I've had a lot of experience caring for all sorts of animals through means of daily check-in's, going on walks, and overnight stays! I am currently a student at MSU with a somewhat flexible schedule during the week and I am available in mornings on saturday and sundays, I am also available sunday nights. I live with two dogs who would definitely keep your dog some very friendly company, they also love cats as well! I love taking my own dog on walks and there is a nice little park very close to my house that I love to walk my dog to.
About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I have 11+ years of caring for animals and have worked with dogs, specifically puppies for over 4 years. I have tons of experience caring for dogs and have watched many over the years. My husband Nick and I have 3 dogs of our own: a 8 year old Lab/Golden rescue who is blind, a 5 year old Cockapoo and a 4 year old mini Poodle. We also have a 1 year old tailless black kitty and a 3 year old Holland Lop rabbit. We have a fenced in yard and live an active lifestyle which includes playing lots of fetch with the pups and taking many walks. I’ve had experience with dogs with all different personalities and behaviors. Can’t wait to see your fur babies! I am available for boarding most days. I am willing to pick up/ drop off the pup if need be. Right now my schedule is open. I care for my dogs like they are part of the family. I think it’s important to prioritize my dogs need to ensure they are happy and healthy

With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.

Madison did a great job with our pups! They were taken on long walks/runs each day. She fed them, brushed them, took care of the meds they are on and overall did a great job! Enjoyed meeting her and look forward to having someone I can trust take care of them when needed.
Lillia B. did an absolutely fantastic job housesitting for our two older golden retrievers and our two cats! She kept up with their medications, supplied us with regular reports and pictures, and left our house immaculate. We hope she's still available when we're ready for our next trip. We recommend her without any reservation!

Malena was great! Oliver loved her and she took great care of him, including giving him his daily medication. She also sent frequent updates with pictures so we could see he was doing well and communicated with us about our return time. In addition, she kept the house clean, and got our mail. It was so nice not to have to worry about Oliver or an empty house while we were gone. We will definitely use her again!

Veronica was a wonderful sitter who was thorough with our meet n greet, followed directions closely including being detail oriented with medications and supplements, and even responded going above and beyond with our repeatedly delayed flights back. We couldn’t have asked for greater peace of mind with her communication, and photos- and most of all, the clear and obvious love and gentleness she had for our family. We won’t hesitate to have Veronica back again with us!
