“Lily is great. She stayed with our two small dogs, Rambi and Winston, for a week. Both dogs seem to really like her. Lily was diligent in providing us with daily updates; she also helped us out greatly by performing the ancillary task of shipping some packages for us while we were traveling. Thanks, Lily! I definitely recommend Lily. We're looking forward to having her back for a two-week stay later this year. ”


“Lydia did great with my 3 dogs overnight. Consistent updates and pictures of them having a great time and lots of snuggles. Would def use her again!”


“Hailey was amazing for taking care of our three dogs. She was with them for almost two weeks while we were traveling and she made the experience so easy. She’s very communicative and goes above and beyond. We have a lab with separation anxiety and it even included a vet trip for her. She was was so great throughout the whole experience. I will absolutely book with her anytime in the future!”


“Sommer was very dependable and detail oriented which was important to me! She also provided excellent communication and quick response time when communicating!! My cat is usually depressed, stressed, and distances himself from us when we return from vacationing. It usually takes him several days to warm back up to us but he was not that way at all this time!! I would give Sommer 10 stars if it was an option.”


“Kendric is great, very responsive, neat, clean and most importantly, the dogs love her. Thx Kendric!”


“Needed a sitter last minute - Devyn came through with flying colors! Our two cats were well taken care of and she followed our instructions perfectly. She sent us photos and made sure to keep us informed on a daily basis. We will definitely be booking her again!”



“Karen did a great job with communication, and she was punctual, friendly, and took great care of our animals. We have already set up two more booking with her!”

“She’s absolutely amazing!!!! Extremely attentive and gives updates! Definitely will use her again in the future!! Our dogs and cat absolutely adored her!!”


“Kayla did a fantastic job! I’ve never hired a pet sitter before, so I was really nervous about how my animals would do. She was very reassuring and sent me pictures and updates every day. She did fantastically with the dogs, especially my really anxious one. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dogs’ health. She let me know quickly when one of them inevitably puked from stress and made sure they were both happy and tired before leaving for the day.”

About: I’m currently a fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Environmental Studies and Political Science! I grew up taking care of family pets such as dogs, cats, horses, and goats, which was my initial introduction to the animal world. Beyond this, I spent many years volunteering at rescues to learn about caring for animals with particular behavioral and medical needs. I’ve gained invaluable experience through rehabilitating animals and have tried to advocate for animal welfare whenever possible in my daily life. Since starting my degree, I’ve house-sat and pet-sat on multiple occasions for periods up to a month in length. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and understand the importance of care done correctly. I’m happy to accommodate specific requests and prioritize pet well-being above all else! I'm a full-time student, so I will have several classes every day beginning in late August. However, this schedule could easily accommodate visits to the house throughout the day for potty breaks or other animal needs. I'm able to manage morning and night care, along with 1-2 visits throughout the day. I'm also available with greater flexibility on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-in visits, walking, and house-sitting. Depending on owner and pet needs, we can work out a schedule to suit everyone! In my client's home, I try to maximize time spent with the animals by sitting in communal spaces and interacting with them whenever possible. I'm a patient and flexible person, so the process of learning an animal's routine and behaviors is a fun challenge for me! I also complete necessary tasks like feeding, watering, walking, grooming, etc.

About: I have volunteered at animal shelters for 8 years and have had dogs all my life! I am experienced with senior dogs and with dogs who need extra love and patience both from shelter experience and from my own dog back home! I am a recent USC graduate so I currently have a lot of free time. I am available from 9 am - 8 pm for dog walks and dog sitting and am available to house sit. With my extensive years of pet experience, you can trust that I will give your pet the utmost love and attention while they are in my care. I will take them on frequent walks and ensure they have plenty of food and water.

About: I treat every pet like my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, so I understand how to tailor my care to different life stages. Whether it’s keeping up with potty training, administering medication, or just providing a calm and comforting environment, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and happy while you're away. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind. My goal is to build lasting trust — with both you and your pet. I currently work for a CPA firm, but my schedule is very flexible — especially in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. That means I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it's going for a walk, spending time playing, or just offering some calm company, I love incorporating pet care into my day. It’s the best kind of break from my work! Although I don’t currently have pets of my own, I regularly care for and play with my friends’ animals. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, given plenty of attention and exercise, and that their specific needs are met — whether that’s extra cuddles, bathroom breaks, or following any special instructions. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and environment to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet with the same love and respect I would want for my own.

“We were very happy with Kirsten taking care of our animals. Not all of them are easy but all of them love her and Kirsten did a great job taking care of everybody while we were gone for the weekend. We will definitely book Kirsten again.”


About: I've consistently taken care of dogs for 7 years, between my own and for other families in my neighborhood. For years I've been someone my neighbors can trust to take great care of and show plenty of love to their pets. I'd love to show your pets the same love and care! I'm currently a college student at Elon University in town, so when I'm not in class I have lots of time to take care of and give lots of love to pets nearby! My home is not pet-friendly, but I will do everything I can while I'm in your home to make your pets feel safe and loved. I'm a college student nearby, so I may bring homework over to complete while giving your pet company and friendship.

About: I grew up on a farm. My family's home was always filled with animals. I trained my puppies to ring a bell when needing to go outside. I have lots of love to give I make sure food and water are given based on an animals routine. Like us animals like routine. This is also important when training is required. I will always make sure an animal is comfortable with me. I strive for a bond so the animal is comfortable as well as owner.

“Jordan has watched my furr babies on two occasions. She took care of them and my home while I was away. Prior to her house sitting, we set uup a time for a meet & greet with home tour and all went well. I can see that my babies have warmed up to her and that puts me at ease. If they could talk, they would call her Auntie Jordan. I look forward to using her service in the very near future. Would I recommend her services, absolutely! And to anyone who may be hesistant, do a meet and greet and judge for yourself. Thank you Rover and thank you Auntie Jordan. *Paw prints & hugs!!!”


About: With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals—from loyal German Shepherds and playful pit bulls to energetic labs, cuddly chihuahuas, and high-energy doodles. My experience also extends to caring for cats, ducks, and even fish, making me a versatile and trustworthy companion for your pets. Whether it’s a daily walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I am a teacher during most of the year, but I love working with animals. I am trying to build my summer with pet sitting, dog walking, etc to keep myself active and busy. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home. However, in your home I will keep the schedule/routines you use and ensure your pet gets plenty of cuddles and care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I love to cuddle with them, take them for walks and treat them like my own. Your furry friend will not even know you’re gone. I will take such great care of them. I’m currently a stay at home mom with kids in school so I have all day and all weekend at night.

I also have college classes on tuesday and wednesday mornings, but I’m more free over the summer. I can also squeeze in times before i go work to do check ups and potty breaks. All of my cats are indoor, and my aunts dogs are as well. My cats have cat towers, scratching posts, and I always make sure their litter is clean and they have food and water. I also always make sure they’re loved by giving them plenty of cuddles and kisses (when they want them of course).
