Elissa is a really sweet and very professional person. She’s house-sitted and dropped by to take care of my two puppies and they’ve quickly grown to love her. She’s trustworthy and communicative. I would highly recommend her!

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

They were great!! It was my first time using a sitter and I have an anxious dog that takes medication. They were so patient with him and updated us every step of the way! I feel so much more comfortable knowing I have people who can watch my boy when we are away 🤍

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. Often watch others dogs over night, or come by for walks and feedings when owners are away. Good with animals of all sizes. Currently my schedule is very open, available in the mornings and afternoons for walks or visits. Can also be available to watch dogs overnight if needed. My home is an apartment right next to several parks. Perfect for smaller dogs or big dogs who need exercise outside. Can also travel to you.

Jennifer house sit with our dog for several days and was great to work with. I would highly recommend. When we came home we can tell that our dog was well taken care of and happy. She also took care of the house very well- and went above and beyond for us. She kept us posted and gave us updates on how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Our dog also had a recent minor leg injury and Jennifer was extra careful with him and followed our instructions well.

Rebecca was absolutely fantastic with our fur babies! We have a cat and an older dog with digestive issues that requires specific care. Usually, we travel with our pets, but unfortunately, this time, we couldn’t. I’m a nervous wreck when I leave them with anyone else because of past experiences and illnesses that have occurred in my absence. Before booking, Rebecca was completely transparent about any prior commitments that might take her away from our home for a few hours. She wanted to ensure that this would still be a good fit for our dog’s well-being. I really appreciated that Rebecca was incredibly kind and attuned to the needs of our animals. She handled them with the utmost patience and understanding. I believe her to be incredibly trustworthy, and both our dog and cat absolutely adored her. I received countless photos, videos, and updates of our dog doing her happy dance, taking naps, and snuggling up on the couch with Rebecca. One day our dog had an upset stomach which is always a cause for concern with her chronic health issues, and Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure that she did everything possible to care for her properly. She kept me fully in the loop and even offered to cook rice and broth for her in case she needed to settle her stomach. I mentioned that sweet potato usually helps her eat again if needed, and Rebecca offered to drive and pick one up so that she could ensure it was a good quality for my dog, rather than me having one delivered to the house: Thankfully my dog finally decided to eat her food and got better in the evening but like I said, she went above and beyond. I would/will hire Rebecca again and entrust her with our fur babies without hesitation. She was simply phenomenal and is a pet owner’s dream come true. Rebecca, Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our fur babies!

Cheryl was fantastic with Apple. She doesn't just love dogs, she has done her reseach to understand dogs and applies it. This is what I look for and trust in a sitter. She is extrmeely respectful as stated in her profile to apply your routine's as to not disrupt your dog's current lifestyle. /i can't speak highly enough about Cheryl. Thanks again for loving our dog the way we do.

About: I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and patient looking after your pets, and I always try to give them lots of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, evening house sitting, and walks. I know every pet has their own personality, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a senior dog of my own who has a special diet and is partially blind, so I understand the extra patience and attention some pets may need. During walks, I keep her close to me, help guide her safely up and down stairs, and carry her when needed. I also administer her eye drops daily and make sure she stays comfortable and relaxed. Caring for her has taught me how important gentle, attentive care is, especially for senior pets or pets with special needs. I have a fairly flexible schedule! I’m currently available weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as full availability on weekends for House sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking! Visits include feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, walks and playtime! I’m happy to help keep up with your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed in their own home. For walks, I focus on making sure your dog has a safe and fun outing.

Grace watched our senior pup for a week. He is very boring to watch - he just likes to sleep and hang out (no walks or play - too old for that nonsense anymore lol) Jett is very particular who he likes and he was lying next to Grace by the end of the week! WOW! We are so happy with Grace - always kept us updated on our little guy and was reliable and took care of Jett perfectly! Highly recommend, Grace to watch your babies!

About: For the past ten years, I’ve dedicated myself to providing professional, high-quality pet care, specifically focusing on dog walking/sitting. Over the last decade, I haven’t just walked dogs—I’ve managed schedules, built deep trust with clients, and mastered the art of understanding animal behavior and safety. Whether navigating the logistics of running a busy daily schedule or ensuring that every dog in my care receives personalized attention and exercise, I treat the responsibility with the highest level of professionalism. Ten years in this industry has taught me incredible time management, adaptability, and how to deliver exceptional, reliable service that keeps clients coming back Im my own boss! I work my own hours and will schedule according to YOUR needs!! Early mornings, mid day or late nights… whatever works for you! Animals will be kept at close distance and leashed. I have my own transportation (if needed). When I am with the pet my attention is completely focused on them!
