“Noel took great care of our puppy Tito! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and would absolutely book with her again.”

“Claudia was great with Willow! She’s patient with Willow’s very excited greeting, but does a good job at calming her right down. She spends time with her both in the house and in the backyard. She is prompt and reliable.”


“We can’t say enough! Jasmine is so perfect! She took care of our dogs very well, and I heard no complains from the dogs when we got home 😍 I had special instructions on the notes because my senior dogs have special needs and she took care of them very well. Our house is even cleaner than it usually is! 😁 We all love her and we will definitely book her again. We are just so happy that we are worry-free when Jasmine is around while we were on our 5 day trip! ☺️”


“We know that our pups loved their time with Wendy and AJ because we received lots of great pics. But also, because they were not stressed or needy when we got home. Thank you so much! We are grateful to have you take care of Dottie and Joey.”
“AJ is wonderful! I was worried prior to my trip because my dog is old and has separation anxiety (and I was travelling for a long time). AJ kept me informed, took such great care of Bella, and was tidy and very kind. Really enjoy having her sit!”
“We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.”

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).
“Our pets were obviously well looked after and our home was exactly as one would wish it to be 'clean and tidy' without anything at all out of place. We would certainly use her again in the future if she were free.”
“Absolutely thrilled with Nicole's care for my Weimaraner, Finley! As a "Velcro dog" who's usually attached to me at all times, Finley can be a bit needy, but Nicole handled him beautifully. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which put me completely at ease even while I was out of the country. Finley was clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every update. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m incredibly grateful for her phenomenal work. Highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a mom of two and I love caring for pets like they’re my own 🤍 I’m reliable, patient, and great with routines, so your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I make sure every visit includes attention, care, and consistency. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting between 8am and 3pm. I focus on providing consistent, attentive care and making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules and routines. I pay attention to behavior and comfort, and I’m always patient and gentle to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Jill always takes such good care of my needy little fur babies. She even took an unexpected kitten added on to this sitting on such short notice. She's consistent, through, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about my cats. She learns their quirks and treats them well. Jill is amazing!”

“Charlotte was amazing! She was communicative and responsive. She was proactive about questions and when I got home Perla was very well loved! Definitely would use again and highly recommend!”

About: I am 19 years old doing this so I can make some extra money on the side and currently take care of my older brother, who has autism, which has taught me how to remain composed, aware, and reliable in all situations. Those skills are easily applied to pet care, particularly with nervous, timid, or sensitive animals. For example, my own dog has depression anxiety which I make sure to tend to quickly! I can easily fit time with your lovely pets into my daily schedule. I'm free any time after 11AM because I get my brother on the bus at around nine in the morning. Since I'm still learning how to drive, I typically take the bus, train, or Uber to get around. The only thing I know is that I might have to wait until about 5 PM for my mom to return if she works overtime on a Friday, but that rarely ever happens. There is a chance that my schedule can improve so make sure to keep an eye out! I treat every pet under my care as if they were a member of my own family. Making them feel secure, understood, and loved is always my top priority. By feeding them on time, taking them for walks or play, and making sure they receive lots of attention and are comfortable, I try to keep things as simple as possible. I make sure they have everything they require, keep their area neat, and regularly change their water. To reassure the owner that their pet is happy, safe and in good care, I also provide updates and pictures
“Patrick is great! He was able to watch Shiloh last minute and responded quickly! Patrick sent lots of cute pics of Shiloh. He even left behind a nice doggy waste bag pouch. Very reliable and professional! Will definitely be using Patrick again for future visits.”

“An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I’ve done everything from walking to in home sitting to bathing. I love training pups and have learned lots of skills with dog trainers that have helped me with my dogs. I worked with a dog rescue for 3+ years helping to care for the pups we received/rescued. I have three of my own dogs along with many other pets. I’ve raised many dogs from puppies and i’ve raised adult dogs. Dogs are my life and always have been! I’ve also owned fish, snakes, bearded dragons, goats, horses, birds, cats and bunnies. I’m very comfortable with all types of animals so i’m available to care for them as well as dogs! I’m currently working per diem at a Surgery Center and have different hours every week. Afternoons and nights are my favorite times to walk and care for your pets, but if you have a specific request for time of day that works for you, message me and I will do whatever I can to accommodate the schedule you want your fur babies on! I have lots of puzzle toys for your pup to play with if requested. Im more than happy to bring a kitty pool or other fun activities to make sure they are mentally and physically cared for in your home. In client homes, I will always be respectful and leave the home cleaner than I found it. I will cater to your pups needs and follow any plans you have laid out!

AJ took amazing care of our home and dogs while we were away for our wedding. Prior to watching our dogs they came over twice to meet the dogs and know the home which made us feel great. He gave updates when needed but allowed us to fully enjoy our day with no worries. Highly recommend them for your dog and home sitting needs!

We have no worries when Hayley comes to stay with our two dogs. They are happy, love her to pieces and are well taken care of. I swear that my house is cleaner after she leaves than I left it. We get periodic updates from Hayley while we are on vacation with adorable pictures showing hour our fur babies are spending their time. The is the fourth time Hayley has stayed in our home with our dogs, but it won't be the last!
Nicole is THE best dog sitter. She came to our house and met our dogs. One of our dogs is an abused foster which we adopted. She loved Nicole that first day which has never happened even when my sons come to visit. She sent us photos and she was able to handle our young dog. The best part is now we have a trusted sitter we can start going out of town. I’d recommend Nicole to anyone❤️

Jill came over on a last minute request as our usual dog hotel was booked for the weekend. As a former pre-vet person myself, I was impressed she was a former vet. She took good care of our high-anxiety Jack Russell while we were away, sent updates, and even brought in my deliveries. We will definitely ask for her help in the future!
