“Marissa took great care of our senior dog for the weekend! She was super communicative even before the stay began, and sent us great pics of our guy to keep us updated. She also checked on our chickens and made sure they were all ok, super helpful since they are in different areas and life stages at the moment. Overall Marissa was responsible, kind, and friendly- a great combination for pet sitting! We would welcome Marissa to care for our pets again in the future!”
“Sarah is so personable and our two pups loved her. She gave them homemade treats and took so many pictures of them while we were away. 100% the best house dog setter we have ever had. Wish she lived in Atlanta.”
“Liseli did an amazing job taking care of my dog and 2 cats when I went away for the weekend. We even had a minor medical emergency with my dog that she immediately called me about and got him the medical care he needed and stayed in close communication with me through the process. All my animals seemed relaxed and content when I got back. I can tell she made them all feel safe and loved, which I so so appreciate. I highly recommend her and definitely hope to hire her again in the future.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful, professional and detailed. She was very caring, and patient, with my little guy, this was his first time without his family. I would only want Emily to care for my Teddy in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young, but just started pet sitting a couple years ago and have worked in the veterinarian field for 5 yrs now. You can also find me helping out in the kennel some days. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic, usually 4 days a wk. I do work 10 hour days, but always make it a point to go back for a potty break at lunch when housesitting. I have a large, unfenced yard. I do have a tie out or can walk on leash. There are 2 cats in house, that are used to dogs being around. There is also a rabbit, but he is caged.
“My dogs absolutely LOVED Jason! He definitely gets and understands how to connect with animals, and also knows the needs of a fur-mom when away; needing to know that they’re safe and content. He was communicative and always let me know how they were doing and what was going on. I’ll be calling on him again for sure!”

“Atlas is the best dog sitter we’ve found on this app - probably that we’ve found ever. We cannot recommend her more highly. She went above and beyond for our dogs and was quickly our reactive dog’s favorite person. We’ll be booking with Atlas for all our future travel and dog sitting needs.”
“Caroline and Kurt were great!! We came home to happy pups and a clean house. They were great at communicating, asking questions, and sending pictures. We never had to worry if our pups/house were in good hands. Will definitely be using them again in the future and would highly recommend!!”
“Wendy did a great job with my pup,Buddy! She even stayed later to make sure he wasn’t alone! Very nice, our whole family liked her tight off! She also sent me a great picture of Buddy, he looked very content! She also was available on short notice, as my son surprised me with a visit! Thanks again Wendy! Definitely will be booking you in the near future!”
About: I am available and have a very flexible schedule. I have raised my own dog for many years and love to tend to others as well. Responsibility, reliability and trustworthiness are guaranteed along with ensured fun and care. I care for my own dog with daily walks, and basic care such as feeding and playful fun. I have been doing this for most of my life because of my pets and would love to do it for others. For my pet, I put him in a harness and on a leash when going on walks and going potty. In a different house that’s more secluded with more landscape, I allow him to roam freely with cautious eyes. For my clients, it depends on what they prefer whether it’s keeping them on a harness or allowing them to roam freely as well.
“Anna did a great job with our dog, Vessy. She sent daily updates, and Vessy was clearly well cared for. I would definitely recommend Anna and will for sure ask for her to dog sit again in the future.”
About: I started a career in dog care in 2010. I have extensive experience with all dog breeds in boarding, day care, training, grooming and vet tech. I then began rescuing Pugs and have my 5th one currently. I love all animals and look forward to caring for yours! I have a flexible schedule. Let's see what works for both of us. I'm available as often as needed and I have reliable transportation available I have a dog park across the street but also plenty of regular walking trails if your pet isn't social. My dog is very friendly and always happy to make a new friend
“Rylee was an excellent choice for a pet sitter. When I met her I knew right away that she would take excellent care of our senior dog. Her communication was excellent and she arrived on time for our meeting and for the pet sitting. Our dog was calm and happy and the house was as we left it! I appreciated that she was open to doing only a one night visit that was short notice. I would have her stay with Paisley again without hesitation!”
About: Hello, my name is Sierra. I enjoy trail walks and dogs of all ages and sizes. I have walked dogs of my own as well as neighbor’s dogs who were unable to do it themselves. I am looking for a way to meet new members in my community and help take their pets in adventures along the way. I am concluding my masters and Umaine and could use a four legged pal to explore as that chapter closes. I will provide many encouraging pats, water, treats (per your instructions) and enthusiasm. I enjoy dogs with all my heart and need something to brighten up my day during this time as well as helping those who are unable to walk their pals. I am more than happy to answer any questions and formulate a schedule if anyone is interested! I hope you be able to work with you and your companion in the near future. Thank you for your time. My availability is M-F after 5; after 6 Saturday and Sunday. I do morning walks around 5 am M-F as well for ~2 hrs for those who have pals that enjoy longer walks. To ensure your pets safety a detailed list of your pets needs and important contact information with your number and/or your vets number will be made after the initial interview with me!

Catherine K.
“I am so grateful I found her! My new work schedule was so hectic and I was exhausted when I returned home. Long walks with my Yorkie (9) and Yorkie-Palm (1) turned to us just standing in the front yard. I knew it wasn't enough. I knew I needed help, my dogs deserved more. That's when I reached out for help and came across Sky in her eye profile. I was nervous at first because I am really protective of my Yorkies. She arrived on time and communicated with me the whole time she is with my pets, which was very important to me. They absolutely adore her! She is loving and patient with my older Yorkie, but also fun and energetic with my pup. I'm also grateful that I can trust her to watch my pets when I have to go out of town. My dogs are not neutered so they don't have many options when it comes to pet hotels. You can tell she has a lot of knowledge about caring for dogs, but what I love is her friendly attitude and the passion she has for what she does. Thanks to her my dogs are well taken care of when I am away and also get the right amount of exercise on the days I don't have the energy to give them the walk they deserve. Again I am so grateful for such a reliable doggy caregiver, I think she is the best and I'm sure your dogs will think so too!”
