Ollie adjusted her work schedule to be able to spend more time at home with him. Ollie also took fabulous care of our house and yard. My plants look amazing. Grateful to Ollie for giving Homer so much extra TLC would absolutely recommended Ollie to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Wendy and AJ are the best sitters!! I use their service regularly for my work travels. I never have any worries when my dog, and my home are in their hands!

“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.”

“I would absolutely recommend Joseph! He's incredibly responsive and responsible. He watched my home and 2 dogs for a week. He not only took great care of my dogs but he helped by watering my houseplants while I was away. I got home to happy dogs and he kept my home clean and tidy. Thank you, Joseph!”
About: Hello! I was raised with dogs and other animals. Being fun loving, knowledgeable and flexible is my passion. I understand leaving your beloved pet for any amount of time can be worrisome so I'm here to give you that peace of mind. I've trained Service Dogs for 20 years, Also, I own a beautiful Bernese Mountain dog who I can bring along at no charge if your pet needs socializing, is special needs and can't get out much or likes a 4 legged buddy to play with. He is professionally trained and is an excellent role model for any pet. All types of pets are welcome. I am retired and am very flexible with times and dates. Very early morning walks are No problem! Caring for your pets is my job and pleasure. I will send photos and update throughout my stay. Your home and pets will be treated with the upmost care, respect and love. I understand leaving your pet can be hard on you. All recommendations or reasonable pet requests will be met without hesitation. My home is my respected workplace. Photos and updates are never a problem! Everyone wins when everyone is happy.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I am experienced with large and small breeds and cats. I enjoy walking dogs and spending time lounging with all cats. I haven’t met a cat that doesn’t like me I am currently not employed and have open availability. I prefer to take care of dogs in their homes, if they are dog friendly I would welcome them to my home. I have special needs dogs and a very friendly German shepherd I am very flexible with any schedule of pups/cats and can mirror their needs. I welcome small and senior dogs at my home and have a separate area with a crate if needed
About: I’ve had experience with a variety of pets throughout my whole life. Since I was young we always had pets in our house. We’ve had chickens, puppies, senior dogs, rabbits, and a few others. This means that I have had loads of experience caring for and simply loving all different types of animals. In addition to all of this I’ve been pet sitting for a variety of my neighbors since I was ten. So I also have loads of experience caring for other people’s pets. I’m currently a high school student with no job which means I have a lot of time to effectively care for your pets. I am available most hours of the day, including weekdays, so I will be able to tend to your pets anytime needed. There are some days where I have basketball practice which would make me unavailable in the later hours of the day but I will still be available in the mornings. I ended my last year with a 4.2 gpa while doing extracurriculars. This shows that I am a very hard working individual that can be entrusted with the care of your pets. I also just love being around animals so you can trust that they will be loved like my own.
“I reached out to Pedro as our dog has some leash aggression issues and needs an experienced hand on his walks. Our dog immediately warmed up to Pedro and left us comfortable going away on a vacation. Pedro was great with our dog and sent updates with each walk as well as some great photos of our dog. We get pretty nervous when leaving our dog as he takes some work but Pedro made us feel comfortable the whole time that our boy was being properly taken care of. 10/10 will use again, and so should you!”
“Avisha was amazing! She saved us on short notice and was great to work with. She has a passion for all animals especially cats. But she took great care of our dogs. They were wiped out and all snuggles when we got back. Couldn’t ask for anything better!!!”
“Nicole was great!!! She spent so much time with my fur babies, my house was super clean when we got home, she washed the couch blankets and did everything that I asked of her. She eased my mind, and I knew my animals and home were being well take care of. Thank you Nicole!!!”
“Rich is extraordinary. We came home to calm and happy dogs -- and more! Rich gave us a few training tips and even advised us about how to care for our tomato plants! Our condo was immaculate. Most important, of course, he took great care of our dogs, giving them lots of care, attention, and exercise. Beyond all that, he is simply a kind, responsible, easy-to-talk-to person. We're thrilled to have found him. ”
About: i’ve taken care and have lived with dogs for all of my life being a part of someone’s home and taking care of someone’s dog or pet is something I want to accomplish to give the owner a peace of mind to know their animal is in good hands. I work part time for a swim school, teaching kids how to swim for their safety. Once I’m home, I make sure my own animals get their love and attention. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and have a fenced backyard. In your own home would be most fitting however, and would provide proper pet necessities
“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.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds, my whole life, I grew up on a farm as a child, and have assisted my grandpa and uncle with their hunting business. I am available Monday through Friday and weekends with notice. I currently train dogs for my professional job. If you need help with dog behaviors or just simple obedience I am more than happy to help you and your pup to the best of my abilities. I have a fenced yard and three kennels for three dogs. We currently have three dogs. One is a Rottweiler (female). One is a Rottweiler (male). And we also have a Rottweiler (female). They are very loving and caring dogs and would enjoy friends :).

June B.
“June is a very kind and responsible person. She knows a lot about how to care for and train dogs. She did a fantastic job of setting up all the ground work for Toast. She molded him from a crazy puppy into a superb adult dog who is well mannered and eager to learn new things. She also cared for him for me when he had an injured leg and nursed him back to health. Toast absolutely loves her! Her dog Ceaser was great with Toast. Ceaser was so patient with my energetic pup. He was a great role model and playmate for Toast. I highly recommend June as a part sitter. You will have piece of mind with her watching your fur baby.”
Natalie F.
