“Mikayla did a fabulous job sitting for my fur babies! She sent pics and updates often and kept me at ease during my trip. This was the first time I had ever left my dogs with anyone other than family so I was very nervous. But she assured me they were having a good time and we're safe. I would definitely book her again!”
“Vanessa H. Is such a great responsible petsitter. She came to our house and stayed for six days and nights with our Catahoula dog. She was super and on the ball with everything I asked of her. From feedings to let outs, play time, videos and pics she kept up on all of it. I highly recommend her as my favorite pick., to let her stay with your furbabies.”
About: I’m an animal lover who enjoys playing and cuddling with fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual and unique needs of every animal I care for. I enjoy creating my own schedule and prioritize care into my routine to soothe, comfort, entertain and provide basic needs for every animal in my care. I’m available early mornings, evenings and weekends. Routine schedules for feeding, potty and play time are ideal so I and the animals know what’s coming. I try my best to stick to routines already placed and will navigate to create a routine that fits both you as the owner and I as the pet sitter.
“Sia did an excellent job taking care of Kaylee for a week while on vacation. Was able to get in touch with her as needed. She sent a daily picture of Kaylee and any updates. Would hire her again in future outings.”
“Belle was a fantastic caretaker for our 12-year-old furry baby Scout. He can be a bit of a challenge since he is older and deaf. Belle sent us some pictures of him during our 6-night trip out-of-town. Scout looked happy, bright eyed and alert. Belle left the home neat, tidy and smelling clean and sanitized. I would recommend Belle without any hesitation. She will be first on my list to call when we need her to watch Scout in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, I recently lost my 11 yr old lab Aro and missing the unconditional love of a dog. I can’t get enough of furry cuddles and playtime—I would love spoil yours too! From pet sitting the neighbors animals as a kid to in-home pet sitting for family and friends as an adult. There is no greater love than the unlimited love from our fur babies. I am retired, so very flexible to work with your schedule. I can make multiple visits to your home each day, have them come and play at my house. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I love playing ball or frisbee with them. If they prefer walks I have a great neighborhood to walk in. They will mostly be indoors snuggling with me. If your pets prefer their own home I am also available to stay in your home or drop in.
“I have never used a pet sitting service before and I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased. Kenneth was the absolute best!! He kept me updated with daily text and pictures. He even washed the rug after Gidget had an accident and my house was exactly the way I left it. Kenneth will always be my first choice. If you want the best, then hire Kenneth. You will not be disappointed.”
“Alison took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent photos and updates so we knew what was going on at home while we were away. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kelsey is amazing! She is so sweet and my dogs love her. She provided us with plenty of pictures and updates which made me feel like Kelsey genuinely cared! We will be using Kelsey as our dog sitter from now on. Highly recommend!”
“Jenifer was a fantastic sitter for our cats and dog. She was quick to communicate, left a great diary of each day, and went above and beyond for taking care of our home. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“Sabrina is so sweet! I was kind of skeptical about having someone I didn’t know house/dogsit, but Sabrina made me feel super comfortable about the whole process. She sent pictures of our dog several times a day to put my mind at ease. Came back from our trip and our dog was safe & happy and the house was just like we left it. I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!”
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
“Luciano was great at every step: communicative, clearly knowledgeable about dogs and super caring. Notably the pups seemed better behaved with him than us! We hope to work with him again. Thanks Luciano!”
About: I’m the biggest pet lover I know! I frequently dog-sit and cat-sit for friends and neighbors. Throughout my life, I've had six dogs, two of whom now live with my parents. All of them have enjoyed wonderful lives! One of my special skills is out-energizing dogs during their walks. I love taking them around the lake and enjoying my neighborhood! I often visit my neighbors to check on their pets, change the kitty litter, or just spend time with them—especially when they go on vacation. I also feed and walk my friend's pets. See I create a detailed list of needs and wants for the pets, all discussed with the pet owner to ensure that I understand what is required for their care. I also like to get to know both the owner and the pet before providing care. This allows me to ask questions and gather the necessary information to properly care for the pet.
“Izabella was a wonderful animal / house sitter. She was super communicative, sent pictures daily of our fur babies, and was very flexible with us. She also left our home clean and even made time to wash the sheets and remake our bed! We are excited to book our next trip knowing our fur babies will be in great hands.”
“Janet did a fantastic job caring for our sassy corgi and our anxious hound. She is very caring, professional, and trustworthy. She provided regular updates and pictures of our pets, which was a comfort while we were away. We highly recommend Janet to care for your pets.”

Alisa R.
“I've known Alisa for years, and if there's one thing that has always stood out, it's how deeply she cares for animals. She's looked after my dogs many times, and they absolutely adore her, probably because she gives them as much love and attention as I do (maybe more, but don't tell them that!). She’s gentle, reliable, and genuinely joyful to be around pets. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just “watch” dogs, she connects with them. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, going for a walk, or just sitting outside in the sun, she’s happiest when she’s got a furry friend by her side. She always makes sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you can’t do better than Alisa! She’s one of those rare people who animals just seem to gravitate toward—and once they do, she makes sure they still get all the snuggles and love they deserve!”

Shelisha F.Star Sitter
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”
