“Caitlin was an amazing dog and house sitter. She was professional, punctual, and communicative throughout. My older dog struggles with new people, and Caitlin met her exactly where she was at - giving her space and helping her through the weekend. As an anxious dog mom, I felt completely at peace knowing Junie was in her care. I highly recommend booking Caitlin for your next trip!”


“Maya was amazing with our pups. We were in town with our 2 dogs. They are both used to being with us and get anxious when they are not. Maya is very knowledgeable and sweet and knew exactly how to handle them. She played a lot with our very active GSP. She is also very respectful and sends lots of pictures and updates. We booked her twice during our visit and will definitely book her again when we come back.”


“Sylvia took good care of JoJo for an evening. She displayed a gentle, warm approach with him and he was very comfortable with her. We will be glad to engage her again.”


“I had an emergency trip planned and needed a last-minute sitter and Karla came in clutch. Not only did she take care of my dog and two cats. My dog was sick at the time and she helped me so much with her getting her all better. I could not recommend her more and you would be lucky to have her babysit, your precious pups, and cats.”


“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”


“Michelle is amazing! I can't say enough great things about her. We left for a few days and she was wonderful with our dogs, leading up to the stay and during, and very communicative for the entire stay, sending photos and updates w/each activity. She is 100% wonderful and we trust her completely with our dogs. Thanks, Michelle!! <3. Morris misses you.”


“My dog was more anxious than usual and RoseWillow was incredibly patient and responsive. She was early, responsible and incredibly gracious and I would love to have her sit again anytime.”


About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and chickens, I've gained hands-on experience in pet care from an early age. Whether it's the playful energy of dogs, the independent nature of cats, or the unique needs of chickens, I've learned how to provide attentive and compassionate care for each. With years of experience, I understand the importance of routine, comfort, and safety in keeping pets happy and healthy. Your pet will be in knowledgeable and caring hands with me. I am currently going to school and have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays 6am-10pm, Tuesday 6am-10pm, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 6am to over night. I am willing to stay at clients home to care for pets along with staying over night. During my availability I can let pets outside/hang out with them inside at any time, give needed medication, walk, and play.

“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!”


“Meredith was great. The dogs were taken care of very well. We received pics every day of them being them. The house was in tact; the dogs were fat and lazy; and my wife and I had peace of mind while on vacation. I would highly recommend.”


“Olivia was great with house sitting our dog. She kept him happy and safe, taking him on long walks and playing in the backyard. Took good care of the house and our pet tortise too! She provided good updates and gave us peace of mind. Certainly plan to rely on Olivia in future house sitting.”


“Aidan did a great job! He house sat with the puppies for 6 days and he left the house in great condition. The puppies were happy. He sent pictures to let me know they were going well too. I will definitely be using him again.”


About: Since childhood, I’ve had a deep love for animals and have always treated every pet as if they were my own. I believe all pets deserve the same love and care they so generously give to us. However, I am very understanding that each pet is unique in their own personality. As a proud dog mom to two very special but different pups—one being a rescue from the meat trade in South Korea—I’ve gained valuable experience in recognizing stressors and triggers in dogs that may be more reactive. I approach each pet with patience, understanding, and proactive care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at peace. Just because an animal has had a difficult past doesn’t mean that sets the trajectory of their future. I am a small business owner which means I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they ultimately deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I can adjust to your needs to ensure your furry friends are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I prioritize consistency and routine so pets feel comfortable and cared for in every visit! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. I create a warm, stress-free environment where pets feel secure, loved, and at ease. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their space, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles to keep them happy and safe. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who can provide companionship and extra playtime for pets in my home. For pets who prefer to be alone, I have plenty of space to ensure their comfort and relaxation.

“Seth was wonderful. My dog had surgery and she needed to be fed on schedule to take her medication and Seth followed all instructions. He didn’t just come in to walk and feed he actually spent time with my dog. He also sent me detailed messages and photos. It was a wonderful experience for me and my dog and I highly recommend him for any dog owner.”



“Bri was an outstanding dog/house sitter! She took wonderful care of our 15 year old yellow lab and we are impressed with her communication and attention to detail. Bri sent daily updates and pictures while we were away and our sweet dog, and home, were both very well cared for. We’ve already booked her again!”


About: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty. I still love my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember and have lived with pets since I was 12. I’ve been a mom to two dogs and 7 cats. I am a very active person. I love going for walks, going to dog parks, playing with both cats and dogs. I am a mature, responsible professional and I currently have a lot of free time. I would like to spend that time doing what I love. I have two cats now, Rue and Fiver. I fostered Rue in 2020 and decided right away that he belonged with me. For the next 3 years, I continued to foster and then decided Rue needed a permanent companion, so Fiver became the perfect little brother. I am a teacher and I do not work during the months of July and August so am available any time of day. During the school year, I am available weekday afternoons and evenings and on weekends. I cannot offer pet care in my home at this time. I am very careful with all animals and will make sure they are safe and comfortable.

About: I've been around and cared for dogs my whole life. I grew up around large dogs like Shepherd mixes and Huskies, but I've also been responsible for the care of smaller dogs as well. I've lived with cats and currently have one myself that I "co-parent" with my housemate. I've also cared for rabbits, chickens, parrots, fish, turtles, frogs, and even axolotls! I'm just an all-around animal person, and I'd love to meet you and your pet :) I work remotely part-time on weekdays, and I can do this from anywhere with an internet connection, so I'm very flexible when it comes to bookings. This is how I'm able to prioritize your pet so they get the attention they deserve! I'm no stranger to following extremely specific special instructions for a pet. I know that every animal has their own personality, with likes, dislikes, and individual needs. I also understand that for each booking, I'm entering someone else's private home, and I make sure to maintain the utmost respect for that. Your pet and your home's safety is my top priority.

About: Hi I’m Emma! I love dogs and cats and all animals. I’ve worked with lizards and chickens before . I’m available during the day all the time! I’ve been a pet over for over 20 years and have watched dozens of dogs! I’m available during the day all week and weekends. Please schedule as soon as possible for over nights! Dogs and cats will be treated with love and treats and lots of play time I keep the house clear and out of reach for any baby! I have a open space concept and plenty of comfy cushions! Treats are always on deck! I can stay at home if you reserve ahead of time! I can walk during the day!
