“Dylan was great with our Dog Millie. He was responsive and willing to work with our schedule. Millie was happy and we received lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely use Dylan again and recommend him to our friends and family.”
“Julie was amazing! She house sat with our fur babies for a week. We got lots of updates and pictures. She took our pooch for walks every day and gave everyone lots of love and cuddles. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nikki was wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, Georgie, while we were away. Her updates were great and put our minds at ease. We came home to a relaxed and content pup - always the best sign! Thank you, Nikki, for treating him like one of your own!”
“Amber was amazing from our first messages to when we got back home. She took excellent care of our sweet dog, took him on at least two walks per day, played with him and provided lots of photos and updates every evening. Our house was in even better condition than we left it. Communication was easy and prompt. I want to take more short trips now that we have a trusted dog sitter. I highly recommend Amber.”
“Dana was a loving companion for our two guys this past week, balancing the needs of an active attention hound with our elderly guy who was enjoying the spring. Always grateful for Dana.”
“Porsche has been great to work with. In addition to going above and beyond, she's responsive, punctual, communicative, and in general everything you'd want from a sitter.”
“Jasmine was great with my, at times, stubborn beagle coonhound mix rescue. She sent reports and photos daily. He looked so content I don't think he noticed my absence!”
“Matt took great care of our pup while we were on our honeymoon. Before we left Indy had a cut on his foot that required him to wear a bag on his foot and to be wiped with medicine after returning inside. Since this happened the day before we left we didn’t really have a chance to get him used to the process. Matt went above and beyond to care for Indys paw injury and kept us updated. We would highly recommend Matt!”
“Samantha was great with our 2 greyhounds and whippet! She came over for a meet & greet beforehand and her calm demeanor immediately put them at ease. She was responsive, attentive to detail, and made sure all their needs were met. My house was spotless when I returned. Will definitely book again!”
“Ryan did an amazing job while house and pet sitting for us for a long weekend. He treated both our animals and home with the utmost care and was communicative with us throughout. Thanks, Ryan!”
About: I have years of experience caring for and watching pets of family members. I love animals and animals love me! I am very precise and careful when it comes to animal care. I am available 7 days a week and have no problem spending ample amount of time to ensure your pet is not only cared for, but loved and happy. I am very energetic and outgoing and love to keep pets entertained. I can accommodate any needs while ensuring your pet has fun! I am also very organized, cleanly, and respectful of other peoples’ space. I am willing to go the extra mile: bringing in mail, washing sheets, watering plants, etc. to make your return from travel as relaxing as possible.
“Max is always communicative and reliable! She’s really a pleasure to work with and I appreciate that she has come through a couple times for last minute visits.”
“Barbara was great! She helped us out in a pinch last minute and was so attentive. She sent lots of updates, let our dog snuggle with her at night, and administered him medicine for a stomach bug he was getting over. We so appreciated her and would definitely book again.”
“Christina was great! she arrived on time and confirmed prior. I have never had hired a sitter before to take care of my dog because he is a puppy and a little complicated sometimes, I was worried that someone wouldn’t be as patient with him but Christina did very good with him. She sent daily updates, pictures and videos. When I came back home everything looked great and my dog was very happy as well!! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in a caring sitter who puts effort into taking care of your pup. Thank you!!”

About: I will understand your dog's needs and take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I have experience with reactive, aggressive, and shy dogs with varieties of needs. I have 3 border collies, my daily routine is dogs. Training, playing, and adventuring is what we do. Every day has basics that need to be met, but also beyond that. My dogs get their needed play and attention in my small fenced yard daily as well as a different daily activity, from swimming to homemade dog gym time, there's always something different and fun.
“No disappointments here at all. Ari took really great care of my German Shepard and did not have any problem with her being aggressive with her affection. I have never had anyone other than family stay at my home and I had no concerns with Ari. This person is top tier 👏 will be booking with him in the future.”
“Julia was a fantastic dog-sitter and we would definitely hire her again. She took great care of the dogs, sent pictures and updates, left the house tidy, and even wrote a thank you note with the cutest picture of the pups!”
“Sabrina did a great job taking care of our senior dog and through her interactions it was clear that she is passionate about what she does. my return travel was unexpected extended due to flight cancelations and Sabrina was gracious to extend her services to match my schedule.

She took such wonderful care of Yoshi and sent us pictures. It looked like he was enjoying time with her and getting exercise. Would highly recommend and ask for her assistance again. Thank you Hannah!
Porsche is the best. Responsive, responsible, repeatable, and recommendable! I’d say hire her, but if she gets too popular we’ll have to book further in advance.
Samantha was great with our 2 greyhounds and whippet! She came over for a meet & greet beforehand and her calm demeanor immediately put them at ease. She was responsive, attentive to detail, and made sure all their needs were met. My house was spotless when I returned. Will definitely book again!
Christina stayed in our home to petsit, and was great! Took the time to come before our trip to meet the pets and go over instructions, which she followed to a tee. Provided regular photos and updates, and quickly responded when we reached out. We came home to a clean house and two very well-taken care of pets. Would definitely recommend Christina, and will definitely reach out again the next time we need a sitter!
Caroline house sat Oliver for the second time and did an amazing job. I would recommend Caroline to anyone that wants peace of mind when they are away from their pets.
Laura was wonderful with my cats while I was away for a week. She sent frequent updates/pictures and I returned to happy and healthy kitties 🐈⬛🐈
Alexis took excellent care of my dog and cat. My dog needed to be given medication and had some restrictions after a recent medical event. She was able to follow the instructions with no problem. Additionally, communication was easy and she was flexible with the schedule. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!
Maria is always so great with Nushi. She has watched him a few times now while I’m traveling internationally and she took really great care of him each time. She’s attentive and sends periodic updates and pictures. I know Nushi feels more comfortable with someone with him in my apartment while I am away, so it’s really nice that Maria can come and stay with him.
Anne took great care of Sydney, made sure she was exercises, entertained, and loved while we were gone!
Cadence did an amazing job watching our dog. She is very responsive, caring, and knowledgeable. Not only did she take great care of our dog but also our home!
Tiana is such a lifesaver. Anytime we need a walk, an over night or even a weeklong stay, we know our dogs will get the best care and affection!
Samantha did a wonderful job of taking care of my dogs. She is so sweet. She sent me pictures and videos of the doggies and they loved her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.
Jeannie won the award for best/most pictures and updates!!!! She was fabulous with our dogs and house. We will definitely invite her back.
Marian took great care of my dog!! She was caring and had great communication. Very respectful of my home as well!
Julia is warm and responsible and my dogs loved her. She cared for them over a holiday weekend and kept in touch with me about their care. I was abroad and felt that they would be well cared for while I was away. She responded shortly after I requested her help and is trustworthy. I’ll be seeking her help again in the future!
Alex is the best! We truly appreciated the photos and updates and felt very secure with Alex’s confident and caring approach. Our home was left in pristine condition and our dogs were content and relaxed! Highly recommend Alex, especially if you have dogs who can be a little slow to warm up to new people.
If I could give Victoria 20 stars I would! Highly recommend! Very sweet and thoughtful. On time, excellent communication, and extremely trustworthy. Our pups are so happy and so are we! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Ari is the best. We went to Mexico for a week, and of course our pup managed to go after a skunk while on a walk, resulting in him getting sprayed. Ari stayed calm and took care of our boy, reached out to us, and of course everything was okay. This is our second time using Ari, and when we came back, our boy was as happy as ever. He takes great care of our high maintenance dog without any issue and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Max is always communicative and reliable! She’s really a pleasure to work with and I appreciate that she has come through a couple times for last minute visits.
Beka was great with our home and kitties. She came over ahead of time to get the "lay of the land" and make friends with them. We were out of the country for 10 days and she stayed in our home and made sure our kitties were well taken care of and well loved. This was the first time we came home from such a trip where the kitties weren't stressed out from being alone. She was entirely responsible with our home and kitties. We will definitely book her again when we travel next!
