“Our dog was very happy when we came home. And, house was spotless. Izzy is a reliable, trustworthy and caring dogsitter. We appreciated her professional communication and pics and updates while away.”


“Whew...this was our first time having someone dog sit for us, let alone stay at our house to do it. Rachel was AMAZING. She was personable, professional, very responsive, and sent lots of pictures and updates (we were gone for 8 days). Our dog was clearly well loved and cared for. We would recommend Rachel to our friends and family, and will certainly hire again!”


“Olivia was great! She watched my 1.5 year old lab, Sophie, at my house overnight and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her in Olivia’s hands. We did a meet & great beforehand so everyone felt comfortable and Olivia even brought a notebook for some notes on how to care for Sophs while I was away! I loved all the picture updates while I was gone - it was much appreciated! When I got home from my trip, it was like Sophie hadn’t missed a beat.. which just goes to show that Olivia took great care of her. Will absolutely reach out to Olivia again the next time Sophie needs a sitter. Highly recommend her to care for anyone’s pups!!”


About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.

“Tricia was wonderful!!!! She took amazing care of our 3 dogs for 5 days. They are our furry babies & after meeting her, we felt comfortable & trusted her with our dogs & our home. Tricia went above & beyond. My husband & I would highly recommend her to care for your furry babies. Besides the care if our 3 dogs, she was so respectful of our home. Again, above & beyond. She was truly a person we can reply on & trust for the care of our pets.”


“Lynn was absolutely amazing to my boy while I was away. She was very attentive to him and took pictures of him and sent to me to keep me updated. Will absolutely hire her again. 5 stars!”


“Lucy was awesome! My first time asking her to sit for my two dogs for an extended period of time. She was super responsive, sending me daily updates and pictures and she followed my dogs needs and wants exactly as I asked. She was also very respectful of my home! 10/10 would absolutely ask her to sit for my dogs again.”


“Kara did amazing with Stella! I never leave Stella alone, she goes everywhere with me but I had complete peace of mind leaving her in Kara’s care over the weekend! She sent me the best, cutest pictures of little Stella Bean and kept me updated through the night and morning! Definitely an amazing experience overall!”


“Jolee did a great job watching our two large dogs while we were gone. Our lab can be a bit slow to warm up with new people and she handled him super well and communicated with us consistently. We loved the pics she sent! Would definitely rebook :)”


About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. Whether it’s training a new pup or giving meds to an older dog, I make sure each pet gets personalized, safe, and loving care. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space, and I’m all about keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free! Ive grown up with pets and they were a big part of my daily life. Feeding, walking, grooming, and just spending time with them were all built into my routine. It taught me responsibility from a young age, and I really enjoyed the companionship. I definitely look forward to having pets again in the future when the timing is right. "When I cared for pets at home growing up—and when helping friends or neighbors—I always made sure their basic needs were met first: feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and exercise. I paid close attention to their routines and any specific instructions, especially when helping in someone else's home. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and loved, whether that’s sticking to their walk schedule, administering medication if needed, or just giving them plenty of playtime and affection. Cleanliness and communication are also big priorities for me when caring for pets in someone else's space.

About: I have been around animals my whole life, and I have done dog and cat sitting a few times over the years for neighbors or friends. I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since 2014, and I am very comfortable around both. I currently have a full time job; I work primarily in the mornings with evening shifts thrown in here and there. I don’t do much outside of that, so I am pretty available otherwise. I want to keep all pets feeling comfortable, following their routines/schedule, and keeping them company (within their boundaries). I no longer live with my cats and miss them greatly, so I will make sure they receive extra attention, pets, and playtime (within their boundaries).

“Thank you to Abby for taking care of our senior, diabetic pup and our crazy new kitty! Our animals were calm and happy when we came home and the house was in perfect condition. Thankful to have such a reliable sitter!”

Rayonna H.
“Ray has been an animal lover her entire life. Ray's brother said it perfectly "If anyone is looking for their kids or their animals and Ray is around, you can guarantee they are following her" She volunteered at the local animal shelter for years. She sat in on surgeries with our local veterinarian as well as with her Aunt who is a veterinarian. She has 5 rescue dogs at her parents and multiple rescue cats, most of which Ray brought in due to needing some sort of medical procedure done. She used to request money for her birthday and donate it to the local animal shelter. She has families in her home town that schedule their vacations around when she is back home so they can have her come to their house and care for their animals. I would trust her over anyone else when it comes to animals and children! Hard to find this kind of genuine kindness towards both but with her it seems to come so natural.”
