“We’ve got one special needs dog and two elderly cats that need very specific diets and medications. We’ve also got one more dog and cat! Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.”

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”

“Very happy with Daniela as a pet/house sitter while we were overseas for 2-weeks. We don’t speak a common language, but my pets don’t speak English or Spanish either, so I wasn’t gonna let a language barrier be the sole reason to not hire someone. We used an audio translator app during the meet & greet, and most apps/ txt auto translate. I did provide an emergency contact of a bi-lingual friend. Thankfully we didn’t need to involve her. At the meet & greet, we practice giving my anxious cat’s oral tablet medication with dry kibble, and she was pretty good at it within a couple tries. Reassured me she would be able to administer when we’re gone. She sent regular photos/updates of our pets which always makes us happy and comfortable while traveling. We even had some HVAC issues while we were away, and Daniela was a trooper the whole time. Twice she helped coordinate a technician coming to the house since we couldn’t be there. She left the house very clean, trash taken out, bed made. Brought all our mail in. Watered the few plants we asked. Etc. I hope she’s available next time we travel. Thank you!”

“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”

“Samantha did an amazing job taking care of our rambunctious and slightly anxious pup! She sent daily updates with lots of photos and videos, which was extremely helpful in calming our anxiety leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Our dog also needed to finish up some meds and Samantha let us know every time she gave him his meds. He is a teenage dog with lots of energy that easily gets distracted by the outside world so we really appreciate the care and patience that Samantha had throughout her stay.”

Mary A.

“Shakira was absolutely amazing, not only did she take great care of my lil fur baby but she sent plenty of photos and her communication was great. I will hopefully use Shakira anytime I need a sitter. If your thinking about booking Shakira as a sitter DO IT !!!!!”

“Rob watched our two pets on a long weekend and was great. We love a lot of communication - and he kept us posted and sent us many pictures. Very professional and our pets loved him. We would definitely recommend!”

“Travis did a wonderful job with our dogs. We had all confidence in his abilities from our initial meeting. We kept in touch during the trip through Rover, and Travis was quick to respond, we never had any concerns.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life , I was a baby who grew up with a Irish Setter. and so my life's journey has been traveled with My best buddies . My family and my pets. Their love and kindness cannot be measured and they deserve the very best of care. I pride myself on training tips and methods i have used on puppies to older dogs i’ve taught behavior adjustments. I believe a healthy fit pup is a happy one . I was also involved in a program we called visiting buddies , taking puppies to spend time with senior citizens and pre school students. throughly enjoyed by everyone involved. I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible, I work in events. my availability is after 12 for walking and boarding generally but with enough notice I can work some morning hours. I have a large fenced yard as well as a dog run on the side of our home. I have a very friendly furry baby who will give your pup hours of entertainment. I you. would prefer. your pup was crated I. have a very large kennel indoors as well as outside. My home has tons of space .

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child. I’ve cared for and loved my dog Maya for 5 years and my cat Sombra for 7 years. I also have turtles, and in the past I’ve had parrots and chickens. For me, this is not just a job — it’s a passion that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine because I’ve always lived with animals. I make sure they have fresh food and water every day, give them time for walks or play, and check on their well-being. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to cleaning their spaces, grooming if needed, and making sure they feel loved and safe. Unfortunately, my pets are currently in Honduras, but in the future we’ll be reunited. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to maintain their routine and make them feel comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, daily exercise or playtime, regular check-ins, and lots of affection. I also keep their space clean and safe, and give them extra attention to reduce stress while their owners are away. My goal is to make pets feel as loved and cared for as they do when their family is home.

“Christopher was great! He house sat for over 2 weeks and took care of our elderly cat, who needed meds twice a day and regular infusions. We got regular photos and updates and returned to a tidy home and a happy old cat. Would definitely recommend Christopher to others!”

About: Hello! I work remotely, therefore I am always home. Your dog will not be left unattended. I also have a flexible cancellation policy. I know life can be crazy! I am the ultimate dog lover and will treat your dog like family. I keep my dog healthy with lots of snuggles and daily walks. Your dog will receive that same care that my Fur baby receives. I can also accommodate more than one pet; the more the merrier. You can call any time to check on your baby. I am always available to talk. I have a big fenced yard and a cozy home. Your dog will always be welcomed on my lap and couch. ❤️ Since I work from home full time I have lots of time to hang out with the dogs in my yard. They are like my little coworkers! I usually take the dogs on 2 walks a day but if you have a preference on more or less, I can do that. How do I ensure your dog is safe during their visit? I have a small friendly chihuahua. He loves making new friends and sharing his toys. My yard is treated monthly for fleas and ticks (All pet friendly treatments). The yard is secure with a tall fence and no gaps. My dog is up to date with his vaccines. Please let me know if your furbaby has a set schedule if not they will follow our routine. They get plenty of supervised play time and potty breaks throughout the day. I regularly vacuum and mop my house. All furniture also gets vacuumed daily. I use pet friendly flea prevention methods inside and outside my house. We get our house and yard professionally treated to avoid ticks and fleas. But I ask that you also keep your pet on flea preventatives. All dogs that come in must be vaccinated. Please do not bring your pup if they are showing any symptoms. (Runny stools, coughing, runny nose)
