“Mandi is incredibly communicative and keep our dogs and cat happy and content while we are away. She’ll provide photos of your animals on a regular basis and is quick to report if anything seems off with any of your pets. Would strongly recommend trusting her with your pets!”

“Daniel is amazing. Don’t hesitate to book with him. He took wonderful care of our pups and the house while we were away for over a week. He sent daily updates and photos. He was super motivated to do a great job for us and made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our trip. We will for sure book with him again!”

“I'm very thankful I found Silvia on a bit of short notice. She took great care of our pups and gave them a lot of love. I hope we can enjoy her services again in the future.”


“This is the second time we have hired Beth to housesit for us. We have several animals and she did a great job caring for all of them. She is good with communication and always leaves the house super clean. Thank you, Beth!”

About: I've raised miniature Dachshunds and birthed them, and let me tell you that isn't for the weak at heart. I have been a main pooper scooper, Kitchen master for the preparation of meals and treats. Cookie monsters can smell me coming. I love beyond measure and will go down swinging to protect an animal. I am flexible and will work with anyone as long as you respect my time. If you aren't 15 minutes early, you are already late. I make my own schedule and decided to do what sparks joy in my soul, so here I am. I live to serve, and I serve to live. I can attend to all the needs of your pet. Each family has different routines and training that need someone to comply with. Knowing you won't come home to a rebel of a pet. We believe in lots of love with walks, snuggles, and belly rubs as required. I am certain to spark joy in those lil loving souls.
“Whitley stayed at our house and watched our pups for a few nights. She communicated well with us and took such great care of them and our home. I would highly recommend her!”

“Ashley and her son took wonderful care of our Golden retriever Milo and Kitty Kerplunk. They kept them active with walks and play time and plenty of cuddles. We loved the picture updates so we could relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were well taken care of. The house was left clean and fur babies happy. I highly recommend Ashley to watch your furry family.”

“Quessandra did an amazing job with Bella. I reached out to her super late at night and last minute and she came through in a pinch. She also sent lots of pics which eased my mind. I will be using her again and again to keep Bella company.”

“Ravan was awesome! She took such good care of my dog while I was away, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took him for walks and to the park. Even my plants were watered!! I will absolutely book with her again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter.”

About: I have had dogs growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I love being with them! I am willing to go behind your expectations and work hard. I can’t wait to get to meet your pups! I’m currently part time and have a lot of my days free. I will be starting college soon but I will still be available Monday-Sunday! Safety is my biggest priority I will take care of your doggy as of it is my very own. I live in a great neighborhood/ community we have sidewalks all over and I have a fenced backyard.
About: Hi! I’m a recent college graduate with a finance degree who is currently available for full-time pet care, dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m based in South Hill and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes. I have two very active dogs of my own, a 125 lb Bernese Mountain Dog and a Mini Aussie, so I’m very comfortable handling large, high energy dogs as well as smaller breeds. My dogs are a huge part of my life and come everywhere with me. We hike regularly, travel often, have visited over 15 national parks together, and have even done two cross-country road trips. Whether your dog loves adventures, long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I can provide attentive and active care tailored to their personality and needs. I also have experience caring for cats, having owned one for many years until she recently passed away from old age. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like family. I am currently available pretty much any time throughout the week and I should be available for last minute scheduling as well depending on the week. I provide care either in the client’s home or my own depending on what works best for the pet and their routine. In a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule closely, feeding, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and lots of attention, while keeping the home clean, secure, and respectful. If pets stay with me, they get a safe, structured environment with constant supervision, a fenced yard for exercise, and a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and at home.
About: I've taken care of many of my friends pets, dogs and cats when they are away. I absolutely love doing it! Pets are part of the family! I am currently working part time doing instacart so I am on the road and can stop whenever I need to let them out or take them on a walk. I am also starting school this summer so I will be available after classes as well. I usually stay over at my friend's house whenever they are gone to watch their fur babies. So they feel comfortable and safe in there own space.
About: I've been taking care of pets since age 8. I've walked both big dogs and small dogs. I also am very good with cats. I volunteered at The Southern Arizona Humane Society. This os my first time doing this for pay. I have a lot to learn but I'm a fast learner. I also helped my girlfriend take care of her grandma and have experience transporting pets to the vet. I was recently let go from my job at Carmax so I have open availability. I can do pretty much devote all of my time to any care you need. I unfortunately am unable to bring animals I care for home because I have 4 cats who are wary of other animals. However, I am able to travel long distances to care for them in your home. I also am willing to take your pets to the vet.
About: Just recently, I lost my beloved dog of 16 yrs and I am not ready to become a dog parent again. Since then, I have traveled across the states dog/ house sitting via TrustedHousesitters platform. I have an extensive experience with high energy breeds such as GSPs, setters, springers, vizslas,etc. I am an active person who hike a lot, therefore, possibly looking for dogs who need exercise. Also love to hang out at home and enjoy the company of an easygoing dogs. Love reading pets personalities and watch them. I am recently retired and my calendar is open. I teach an hour fitness classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I prefer long house sits and walking. I do not have a fenced yard but live on a quiet street near the river. If your pup loves to swim, perfect for a hot day. Willing to travel to your place to take your pup for a walk or to spend a few hours to play.
