“Thanks so much!! We appreciate the time and caring during the drop in :))”


“Amazing communication and she was so great with the cats! She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of while I was away. :)”


“Nikki was a top notch last min find for me and my boys…she was quick to respond, and eased my anxiety by meeting me and my pups before my drop in to ensure everyone was comfortable with each other. My anxious dog was very quick to warm up to her which proves to me she has a special way with 4 legged friends. She was attentive and gave lots of snuggles to my little buddies. Would def use her again”


“This is our second time trusting Jennifer with our pup and we felt so at ease knowing Bexar was so safe with her! Jennifer treats your pet as her own while they are in her care and sends plenty of photos and updates! I highly recommend selecting Jennifer for your pet needs!”


“You can truly relax knowing Jade is taking care of your babies! She is knowledgeable and kind. Her updates are consistent, with tons of pictures! She even brought in some of my packages. Will use her again!”


“Elizabeth was great! Our furkids loved her and she loved them! She gave them plenty of attention and followed all of the instructions left for her and sent a ton of great pictures which made us feel very comfortable having left them in her care! I hesitate to give such a good review because I don’t want everyone to book her up and make her too busy for us - but she was great!”

“Deb is the best, we have two dogs. One senior and one wild 4 year old. She is great with both, very sweet and super reliable. She has helped us twice now and we hope to keep working with her in the future.”


About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking my parents dog for 5 years and have done the same with other friends dogs as well. I love dogs and will gladly help other dog owners take care of there pups in anyway i can! As a teacher, my summers are open and i couldn’t think of a better part time job to help fill the space. I am available Tuesday-Thursday 3pm-6pm until June 10th and after that, on those same dates, 11am-3pm. On weekends i am available 9am-12 noon. I cannot host pets unfortunately due to my condo complex not allowing them. If that policy changes i will gladly host pets in the future.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough good things about Meagan! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in great hands. She was incredibly professional, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Xenon can be a bit shy with new people, but Meagan made her feel comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and adorable pictures that put my mind completely at ease. What really stood out was the extra care and attention Meagan provided. Not only did shefollow all the specific instructions I left, but she also went above and beyond to make sure my dog got plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I came home to a cleaner home, and a very happy and relaxed pup, which says a lot! I highly recommend Meagan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter. You can tell she truly cares about the animals she watches, and I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”


“We had Krista watch our cat for the first time and were very pleased. She is very pleasant and we came home to a happy cat, clean cat bowls, clean litter box. Our cat requires odd feeding times with a timed feeder and Krista handled all. Looking forward to our next booking in February.”


“Grace was so great! She dropped in twice a day to visit our cat and give him some company. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat.”


“Amber was great! She updated me on my 2 cats while I was out of town and they were perfectly taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”


About: I got my first dog when I was 12 years old. Her name is baby and she is a Shih Tzu. She’s 16 now and is the most beautiful happy little girl. When baby was eight years old, we got our cat Kovu. Kovu and her bonded very quickly. Kova is a silly and friendly little boy. A stranger can pick him up and he’d let that stranger steal him. When she was 10, we got my sister’s dog wicket another Shih Tzu and he’s about to be six years old and is the cutest sweetest calmest little boy. Then two years ago I was blessed with my beautiful poodle mix arrow. He is a goofy high energy, vocal boy completely different from my other two. All of my dogs are well trained, and my two Shih Tzu’s love other dogs. Mondays and Wednesdays I’m available 10 AM to 5 PM, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I’m available 10 AM to 8 PM, and Sunday, I am unavailable until after 1 PM due to having church in the mornings. I am very scheduled when it comes to my own pets. I let my dogs out first thing in the morning to go potty around 8 AM, make sure they and the cat have fresh clean water, I give them food, then I let the dogs rest for about 30 minutes and let them out again. I always check my cat litter box to make sure it’s nice and scooped clean. And give it a deep clean once a week or earlier if needed. I take my dogs out every two hours and let them play for about 30 minutes to an hour depending on their energy level for that day, I also give them interactive toys to mentally exercise them, then at 6 PM I feed them dinner, let them digest for 30 minutes, and again take them outside to poop and pee. I will be willing to follow a schedule that the pet owner is comfortable with. I am not argumentative since I am going to be in your home. I will follow the rules that you have in place. I don’t have a car right now, but I’m willing to take lifts to your homes and take your dogs for however long of a walk you need.

“Sabrina is kind, flexible, and my dogs love her! She is responsive and reliable!”


About: Your custom care is here. I’ve taken care of German Shepherds and small teacup poodles. Let me know what you need and I will do my best! I’m a full-time teacher so I get out of school at four so I can walk your dog then. I work in Hartford so I can also let your fur baby out on my break. Let me know if you need me watch or sit any of your pets over the weekend. Blessings! I live in a large condo association with lots of paved areas to walk. Some elevation and other friendly dogs around here. There’s a large vacant parking lot if they want to throw a ball or frisbee. There is a trail nearby if they want to walk in the woods or on rocks and dirt.

“Maggie did an incredible job with our kitties! It's very clear she loves animals, and she went above and beyond while we were away on our honeymoon, bringing in unexpected packages, dealing with our trash cans, and more. I would hire Maggie for pet sitting again in a heartbeat! She was so communicative and sent lovely photos and videos of our cats (or at least the non skittish one!). Thanks Maggie!”


About: -I have experience pet sitting senior dogs and young’s pups, rescue dogs with anxiety, and dogs & cats that require medication. I have experience watching multiple pets at once and have watched up to 5 pets at once, while meticulously following the owner’s instructions. I made they all got the necessary walks, meals, medications, and ample playtime they needed all while making sure I left the home I was watching better than I found it with some tidying up. -I’ve tended crops and cared for a variety of farm animals like goats, sheep, cows, and chickens. -Living with my family dogs, Luna and Coco, who are 3 and 13 years old respectively adds to my experience. I’m their designated caretaker whenever my family is away. -I have zero allergies and therefore can accommodate you if you have any other furry friends. In addition, I have a fierce green thumb and can simply take care of your home and potted plants if you need me to. Whatever it is, I'm happy to help! I’m one of the lucky few who have been able to work from home full-time. I’m happy to help take care of your furry friend anytime throughout the week. Growing up with mostly large dogs, I am used to walking and keeping an eye on them when out and about. Even if biggest of fur friends don’t intimidate me! Keeping your pups & pals on their leashes shouldn’t be a problem.

About: I love all dogs but seniors and special needs are my specialty! I am a credentialed Emergency and Speciality Veterinary Technician with 20 years in the field and am CPR certified. I can give medications or provide post surgical care or provide hospice care for older pets. I work in Veterinary Neurology and can care for less mobile or paralyzed dogs. I am also happy to do things like dog walking, feeding, or just giving a potty break during the day. Greyhounds and all Sighthounds are my specialty! I work full time during the week but am available on weekends (Fri-Sun). And depending on needs, am available for weeknight/ evening visits. Providing outstanding pet care is very important to me because, being a pet owner, I understand how challenging it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I have a good attention to detail, especially in regards to pet care and needs. I provide the same communication that I would expect from someone taking care of my dogs. I have a fenced in yard (5 foot fence) and 2 well behaved dogs. One is a male neutered Greyhound named Ramen Noodle and the other is a mixed breed male neutered dog named Gravy.

About: I have cared for dogs, particularly medium and large dogs, since my first dog 15 years ago. I am the go to contact for friends when they go out of town. I can spend up to 60 minutes per visit if requested. I'm experienced with senior dogs who need extra care and patience to move around. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy walking outside in all types of weather, so I thought I could add more to the fun by walking the dogs that need to be relieved while their family is at work or on vacation. I have a large backyard that both cats and dogs have enjoyed roaming around in and exploring. My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and extremely pet friendly.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I will treat your pet as one of my own! :) I will listen to your instructions perfectly. I take my work seriously and will provide the best care possible for your pet. This includes walking, feeding, playing, and anything else you need from me related to your pet’s care. I am currently working a full time job and will soon be a full time master’s student, so check my calendar to see when I am free. We should be able to work something out. I am able and willing to take care of your pet on weekdays in the early morning and after work after 3 pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am free all day to take care of your pet. The safety of your pet and the trust that you and I have are extremely important to me. If there are specific tasks I should not do, please let me know. Typically, I will feed your pet as per instructions, play with them, and take them on walks (I will ask you how long of a walk). We will discuss and go into detail on your pet’s care.
