“Jayla was great with my anxious guy! She kindly took the job with a day’s notice 🙏 Thank you Jayla, you’re a lifesaver. Will def hit you up next time he needs care”

“Grace was wonderful with my dog and my house while we were away for a few days. She was attentive to pet and house needs, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. We will definitely hire her again!”

“Michelle was an absolute pleasure to have watch my animals. She made a point to take extra care, and spend ample time with my dog Bowser and cat Jynx. She took pictures of my pets, to keep our minds at ease, so we never had to worry. I will definitely be calling her again when needed!!”

About: I’ve trained three very skittish rescue doggies and purebred pups. I dog sit for friends and family often. I am extremely energetic/Athletic and if your doggie wants to go for a run, I am up for that for sure! Or if they just need some calming snuggle time, I’m your girl! I enjoy getting to know pet’s unique personalities and needs. I grew up around animals my whole life — dogs, house cats, barn cats, and even neighboring farm animals and wildlife. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Recently losing my longtime companions, Niko, a tiny chihuahua/corgie mix & rescue with a huge personality, and Copper, a golden with a goofball heart of gold, reminded me how deeply our pets become family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet at home while working, traveling, or managing a busy schedule, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and helping give pet owners peace of mind. I called my doggies my kiddos and will care for yours as such! My days are free and can’t wait to fill them up with more joy, walks, training, runs and snuggles. Obedience, praise and love are my core. My pets are my world, I care for and treat others pets as my own. I will treat your home as mine as well! I’m responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t wait to meet!
“Maya is truly amazing, so loving and patience with my spoiled boy Armani. She is the only pet/home sitter I will be using for the future. She will take care of your home and pet as if they are her own. I highly recommend Maya if you are looking for a reliable person!”


About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve had since puppy-hood. Ever since I was a kid, my heart would joyously melt in front of any and every four legged friend. I love getting to know other animals, and take care of them as if they were my own. I got my start pet sitting by looking after my friends and neighbors’ dogs and cats on occasion. At present, my longest cat sitting gig was 3 weeks straight in which I stayed with my fur friend for ~6-8 hours a day just to keep her company. I work remotely, so my workstation is mobile. In this was I can make most pet-sitting tasks and hours work— while assuring your pets have company, enrichment, and supervision. (As an aside, I go by both Vera and Amanda and use them interchangably) I work remotely 10am-6pm monday-friday. Ideally, i prefer to visit pets and take care of them anytime before 10am, but my calendar is very flexible. My workstation is mobile, so if desired, I can keep your pet company for extended periods of time during the day. I’m also available all day on the weeknds. I have 2 dogs that I love dearly and walk 2-3 times every single day at routine times. I brush them frequently, I strap on little booties for their paws daily to protect them from the hot pavement, and I play with them to their little hearts content.

“Mackenzi did a wonderful job with our two dogs. She was a thoughtful dog and house sitter! Everything was cleaned up and the pups were well cared for! Hope to have her back again!”


“Jada helped us with watching our 1 year old pup on New Year’s Eve with very little advanced notice. Jada was wonderful with our little Mabel and kept us updated while we were gone. We really appreciated the help and how loving she was with our girl. Thank you!”

About: With over 3 years of full time overnight and long-term petsitting experience, I bring real expertise and a whole lot of love to caring for your pets. I grew up on a cattle ranch in Oregon, and animals have been part of my life ever since. I've gone on to care for pets all over the world through various sitting opportunities. I'm comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes and energy levels, and I enjoy getting to know each cat's particular quirks. I'm also experienced with senior pets, including administering medications, managing mobility issues, and keeping a close eye on any special needs they have. Over the years I've cared for horses, dogs, cats, and even shrimp, so whatever your pet's personality, your furry (or fin-y) family member will be in experienced, loving hands. I currently work from home full time Monday to Friday. I have a flexible work schedule and can organize my time around walks and overnight sits. I’m available for overnight sits or to drop by and walk and feed pets or check on them while you’re away. The comfort of pets and their owners is my top priority. I’m discreet, punctual and communicative.
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”

“It's always hard to leave the old boy, but Marie was outstanding and kept Bentley safe and warm as well as providing a constant presence. Marie is a neat and conscientious house guest and I would not hesitate to ask her back again.”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”

“Emily was awesome. I can't say enough good things about her. My dogs can be a handful. She took care of it no problem. Super happy with her. Will definitely use her again!”

“Christine was our first ever in-house dog sitter for our two pups and we couldn't have been more pleased. She communicated with us promptly and regularly while we were away, and took great care of our ladies (and house). I would highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.”

About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.
“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”


About: I’ve had pets all my life big and small Ranging from dogs cats birds rabbits that I was responsible for loved deeply and spent everyday with them I am currently between jobs and have lots of time to care for all of your pets I can cater to all that they need I have a fenced yard and 2 cats and a dog that are very friendly but I can do whatever’s necessary for your pet to be comfortable
“Julia helped us out last minute when we couldn't find anyone to stay with our dogs overnight. She was great! She communicated with us and took good care of our 2 goldendoodles. Would definitely hire her again!”

“Sam did a beautiful job taking care of my cat Gracie! She was friendly, communicative, and conscientious - and very flexible about administering medication short notice. I came home to a clean house and a happy cat. Would happily work with Sam again!”

Michaela did a wonderful job of dog sitting our puppy for two nights! She administered his oral medications, took him to do activities and kept him regulated during fireworks in the area. She also checked in often and loved our puppy like he was her own. I would highly recommend Michaela for dog sitting/walking if you’re looking for a responsible and experienced person to care for your pet.

JL gave Bug so much love and attention while he was watching her! He's very responsive and sent us lovely updates and photos to let us know how she was doing. She was definitely getting spoiled, and I know she'll be happy to have JL watch her again in the futue.

Pleasant, professional, and kept a watchful eye on our little girl! I would highly recommend! We are definitely glad we went with Jonathan! Wonderful experience especially for such short notice! Put our minds at ease and Bonnie was catered to like the princess she is! Thank you so much Jonathan!!
Molly is an outstanding dog and house sitter! She made herself available with short notice on our end and was very attentive to our Chocolate Lab Hope. Molly walked her confidently (Hopey can be leash reactive), and followed all of our care routines. As she is a Vet Tech, she even noticed Hopey’s ear needed cleaning and did it for us! The house was immaculate when we returned a few days later and Hopey can’t wait for Molly to cuddle, play and hang out with her again! Thank you, Molly!!!

Sarah was exceptional! She took such good care of our cat Keagan and communicated with us daily, sending pictures of them interacting. She was very responsible and left our home as clean as we left it. She paid attention to details and went above and beyond. We highly recommend Sarah and would hire her again without question.

Ana was fantastic! She was communicative, thoughtful, and sent lots of updates and adorable photos while we were away. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and it was obvious how much she genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!

What can I say. My wife & I trusted Katherine with our home and our beloved wiener dog Wilson for 15 days while we traveled. She contacted us daily with pictures and updates, took great care of both Wilson and our home. She provided excellent care for our dog, she even took him to get his nails trimmed because we forgot before we left. She’s a wonderful woman with great knowledge of her profession. We have all ready rebooked her for another trip later this year! Katherine will provide you with what you really need while you are away, Peace of mind. I’ve never been more comfortable with anyone taking care of our home and pet the I was with Katherine.

Jennifer was great with our dog and cat! She stayed the weekend while we were away, and we knew everything was going well based on the amount of communication (and photos), which was very much appreciated! We would happily recommend Jennifer to others, and will surely use her again!

Jules was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She sent thoughtful daily photo updates, which I genuinely looked forward to each day and really appreciated. It was clear my cat was comfortable, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. She was also incredibly respectful of my home, everything was clean, organized, and exactly as I left it when I returned. Jules was reliable, communicative, kind, and clearly someone who truly cares about animals. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, dependable pet sitter!

Sophie was once again an amazing sitter for Pumpkin! She is very responsive and sends us pictures and updates throughout the week which we always appreciate. She seems to understand Pumpkin and his personality very well and we always come home to a well taken care of and happy dog!

Christine was our first ever in-house dog sitter for our two pups and we couldn't have been more pleased. She communicated with us promptly and regularly while we were away, and took great care of our ladies (and house). I would highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.
