“This was our first time ever having someone outside of our family watch our dogs, so we were a little nervous—but Diyanna was amazing! She kept us updated several times a day, had great communication, and was so sweet. Our dogs absolutely loved her! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Amy did an amazing job watching our babies while we were away! We felt great knowing our cats and dog were in such great hands! We definitely recommend! Thanks again for everything Amy!”
About: I have over six years of experience dog sitting, providing dependable and loving care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable working with young puppies who need extra attention, patience, and training reinforcement, as well as adult dogs, including those that are spayed or neutered. I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or simply giving them companionship. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m currently unemployed and have a flexible schedule while I look for work. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet, including morning, midday, and evening care. I can easily adapt to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs, making sure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have two friendly dogs—a Golden Retriever and a Golden Lab mix—and ensure all pets are introduced safely and supervised. Pets in my care receive regular walks, playtime, and stay on their normal routines. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely, keep the space secure and clean, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“Our dogs first time with Tony was a great experience! When we got home, dogs looked at us and were like “oh, you’re home already? You could have stayed away longer!’ Next time…”
“After talking and meeting with Mariah I trusted her completely. You know you can just tell . She stayed with our two dogs Quincy who is 9 yrs old and deaf and Izzy who is one and has very bad anxiety. Mariah was very patient and kind with our dogs and did a great job of looking after the house as well. Our power had gone out for 24 hours. She was calm and mature about the whole situation. She was even willing to go out and buy ice for our fridge to keep the food cool. We will definitely have Mariah back and I have even recommended her to the medical staff I work with. Thanks again Mariah. You are awesome.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, hamsters, turtles, and fish, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and do everything I can to make their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am available, I am not working because I am pregnant and my husband want to enjoy this moment of my life so I have the availability to spend time with your pet I will sleep with your pet if it is used to, I have a big back hard and can walk all over the house, depends on your routine I will walk your pet as necessary
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 18. In the past it’s only been friends of family. I love taking care of other people’s dogs while they are away. I have done a house with 4 dogs(2 senior dogs and 2 younger ones with one of them being a puppy). That house had the 4 dogs and a guinea pig I had to feed. I have dog sat for a lady that had 2 dogs and a cat. I only have experience taking care of 1 cat. I fed the cat, made sure she had water, gave her treats. I played with the dogs and took on a walk. I fit this into my schedule pretty well. I am a part time college student and work a warehouse job part time. I love animals. My pet care services are designed to offer fur babies the best possible attention and love while the families are away. I feed, make sure pets have water, I will give any supplements or medications, playtime ensuring they are happy and healthy.
“Ori is absolutely wonderful! We are always so thankful for her incredible communication & attentiveness. 100% recommend her services in taking the best care of your fur baby 🥰”
“Ellen was detail oriented for our high maintenance girls. She was very attentive to their needs as well as our own. She was very flexible and literally saved our vacation by being available last minute to watch our dogs for a week. We got home from a long travel day to a clean home, and fresh sheets which was the cherry on top. We cannot recommend Ellen enough.”
About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl. I love them. I will feed them, wash them, clean up after them and of course give them lots of love. Available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and overnight care. Flexible scheduling, daily updates, and lots of belly rubs included. 💜 Prescription administration is available per request. Doors will remain locked. My children love animals and will probably also give them love. Animals are allowed to roam my house and will be taken out for restroom breaks.
“Karci did a great job! I loved her attention to detail in asking and carrying out what our dog's routine and needs were. This helped maintain her days with consistently. Highly recommend her service.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born up until I moved out. That never stopped me being surrounded by animals through friends and family and any pet sitting opportunities that came along the way I work full time M-F about 6-8 hours however I work close to home and can stop by throughout the day to check in and keep them company. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. In my client’s home, I stick closely to the pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
“Amazing house sitter! Extremely professional during the meet and great with Judy. Very communicative during our travels and she left our house cleaner than it was when we left.”
“I absolutely adore Christina. She took such great care of my 4 fur babies (3 dogs, 1 cat) while I was gone this month. They loved her too! Even the youngest dog, Simone, who barks at EVERYONE, warmed up to her quickly and let Christina place the collar and leash on so that she could go on a walk, which she had not done for any previous sitter! She gave amazing care to my senior dog, Sophie, who has a weak bladder now. Christina followed my instructions better than I follow them myself and thus Sophie not only had no accidents in the house, but also never soiled a diaper! I came home to a clean house and happy babies-I could not recommend Christina more strongly!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life! Big and small! I absolutely adore them and love giving them the love they deserve💕 I currently have a 15 year old dog that i’ve had my whole life! I currently don’t have a job so I am almost always available! I am in the process of finding a job though so my availability will eventually change I am almost always available for drop ins and will spend as much time with your fur baby as possible! I love going on long walks and hikes as well with them
“Alexis was absolutely phenomenal. We have two dogs — one puppy and one senior dog on medication — and she handled both with total confidence and care. She sent updates three times a day (morning, afternoon, and night), each with photos and videos so we could actually see that everything matched what she was telling us. We never had to ask for information — she proactively told us when medications were given, when the dogs were fed, and what they were up to. That kind of communication is rare and made being away so much easier. She walked the dogs daily — sometimes multiple times a day depending on what they needed — played with them, gave them plenty of attention, and followed our instructions to a T. Any time she had a question, she asked — no guessing, no assumptions. Our house was spotless when we returned, and she even kept up with poop pickup in the yard. Both dogs were happy and well cared for. We will 100% be booking Alexis again without hesitation.”
“Haven was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to work with. She was on-time, responded quickly to messages, and gave us frequent updates and photos while we were away. Looking forward to the next time we can book her, would highly recommend!”
About: Hi, my name is Janisse! I have an 11 year old teacup shih-tzu named Echo, and had a labradoodle named Angel who recently passed away- both are rescues. Growing up with my two babies I have much experience with smaller, jumpy, and anxious dogs who have a difficult time with separation (also very needy for treats but I don’t give in too easily :3). All my life I have had a big heart for pets and appreciate the relief and support they provide without asking for anything in return. Echo had a recent accident in which he had difficulty using his hind legs. During this time, I made sure to be his shadow, carrying him off platforms or doorways, always watching how he is positioned when eating, and laying him down wherever he is most comfy with me to help with his mental. I think most about the happiness of a dog, so being around them to provide the utmost affection and love makes me feel fulfilled as a dog owner. I am currently in school so I have a totally flexible schedule. Looking to have a schedule of 4-5 days max, but always willing to work something out depending on the situation! Dogsitting in a client’s home, I make sure to speak and cuddle with them often to build better trust and familiarity. I abide to couch rules but I am definitely a weakling when my bubby wants to get on any comfy surface with me. Working with me, you’ll find that I am attentive, positive, and a problem-solver. Pets’ safety and happiness is my number one priority to maintain.

My husband and I both needed to be out of town unexpectedly. We had a new puppy and I was unsure what to do for her. We found Rover and I’m so incredibly grateful we found Haven! She was absolutely wonderful. She stayed with Ruby and not once did I worry. Haven sent updates on Ruby’s daily activities and took excellent care of her. She was kind and very professional. I love knowing we have someone so capable who can come be with our fur baby. I will certainly call upon Haven in the future.
