“Trent did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! He gave us great updates and we knew she was in good hands. We’ll definitely reach back out to him when we need another sitter.”
“Maria was great. It was her first time with our two cats. They warmed up to her quickly, which is saying a lot! Her report cards were clear and complete and all went well!”
“Excellent cat sitter! Gave me great peace of mind on my trip. I have somewhat complicated instructions with 7 cats and everything was handled perfectly. I will definitely use Ayme in the future.”
“Mya helps us with our dog and three cats and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s always on time and very communicative with updates about our pets. Mya is very good with animals…in fact our shy cat got in her lap the first day that she came to our house. Mya is the best!”
“Alison was amazing! My cat is usually super shy but he came out for her to play and eat. I felt very comfortable with her coming to my place in my absence and will definitely book her in the future!”
“Taylor was a huge help checking in on my cat Emmy while I was away for the long weekend! From the jump, Taylor was super thorough in her questions and making sure she was prepared to check in on Emmy, and when it came to the actual checks, she did a great job entertaining Emmy and taking care of her! I would absolutely have Taylor look after Emmy again in the future!!”
“Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.”
“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”
“Jane has been excellent with our 9-month-old beagle during her checkin service. She informs me of any unusual things that she observed, in addition to taking care of our dog. She also kept a close eye on our dog’s after-surgery suture area, sharing pics and building rapport with our dog. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan was so great watching my cat, Graham! She was so accommodating meeting me and Graham beforehand. She sent me tons of pictures and videos both days she checked in on him and made sure he got some affection those days.”
About: I have been caring for friends’ pets for the past on and off for the past few years to make some extra income. I’ve worked with bigger, outside dogs several times, sometimes for weeks at a time, and have a little experience with smaller and inside dogs. I love taking dogs for walks and have experience cleaning up surprises and putting bark collars on particularly squirmy dogs. I also have experience with rabbits and chickens, keeping up with their eating schedules and making sure cages are clean. I work part time and remotely, so my schedule is flexible! I have church and family responsibilities that command my attention during the week, but I still have plenty of time, especially on the weekends! Most of my past experience petsitting has been with overnight stays. I’ve always left the environment better than I found it, and because my work is remote, I will be able to give your pet the care and attention they need and deserve.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 11 years now. I’ve owned 3 dogs and have loved every moment with them. Additionally, I did pet sit one of my friend’s dogs for 3 days. Some stuff I would do with my pets include: Meal prepping homemade food so I could feed breakfast and dinner, giving baths, going on walks around my neighborhood, and lastly having fun with them with toys. UPDATE: IM BACK HOME AND AVAILABLE FULL TIME …….ignore this part : Im currently in College and also a student athlete playing soccer. I am available basically every day. I do have practices and classes so if I am available I will accept! Hopefully my schedule will fit into any of yours! I would love to take care of your pet at your home and make sure he is entertained and well fed. I could also take to any park if you need.
“Emily was so sweet with our senior cat while we were away for 5 days. He was well taken care of, and in a great mood when we came back. Thank you!”
About: As a dedicated former dog owner who has raised and trained two 90+ pound German Shepherds, I understand the importance of structure, exercise, and affection in a dog's life. I said goodbye to my first boy in 2021 and it's now a year since saying goodbye to my second. I'm not yet ready to take on full dog ownership but I'm truly missing the companionship and joy that dogs bring to my day. While I may be new to pet sitting, I bring years of hands-on experience with high-energy, strong-willed dogs, ensuring your pup is in capable and caring hands. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or overnight care, I’ll treat your furry friend like family. I work full time so am available some weekday hours from 6:30pm - 9 pm but have open and flexible availability throughout the weekend, starting Friday evening after 6:30 pm through Sunday evening 9pm. I understand the importance of routine and as well as explicit needs for a dog. For example, my Shepherds didn't play 30 minutes before or after a meal. You can count on me to carry out specific instructions or restrictions. Also, having raised and trained an often misunderstood breed, I am highly aware of dog behaviors, body language, and potential triggers. I stay alert in all situations to ensure the safety and comfort of both your dog and those around us. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or strong-willed, I am confident in handling dogs of all temperaments with patience and care.
“Toshiko has been a life saver! She accommodates on short notice and consistently updates me with photos and videos to ease my mind. Couldn't ask for a better dog walker!”
“Our pets were well cared for for a long visit and we appreciate all the work that she put into keeping them healthy and happy.”
About: I have a deep love for both cats and dogs, and working remote, I have plenty of time available to take on pet sitting and walking for you. Please let me know a little about your pet so I can ensure they get to stick to their routine and have the best care as possible while you're away! Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine - I have a flexible schedule and love incorporating time with animals into my day! I’m available for drop-in visits and walks most mornings, mid-days, and evenings throughout the week and weekends. Just let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I can't house any pets in my home due to roommate allergies, but I am happy to visit your home and care for your pet based on their regular routine.
About: I’m friendly, reliable and take good care of your fur babies and your home. I’m happy to help you on a regular basis or if you’re just in a bind. This is a part time gig for me so I will work my availability around my daily schedule. I have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I will take good care of your fur babies and your home. I have been watching cats and dogs since I was a kid and understand the importance of having someone trustworthy, kind and reliable.

She is dependable and very responsible.”
