“We didn't want to leave our 3 year old lab at boarding for an 8 day trip and were very nervous about having a house sitter for the first time. John arranged a meet and greet a week before and immediately put us at ease. He was really open to all our needs and was so responsive to our pup. She immediately took to him and that remained through his stay! While we were away John would send us updates daily in detail and I really loved how he showed us the paths and time he took for her walks. He takes amazing photos! We really loved every picture he would send us 😊 Our dog is not great at walks so he recommended using a gentle lead for her and even left it behind for us to continue to use! He was also so respectful of our home and ensuring the trash was taken out and everything remained clean even without our asking. We were really really pleased and so grateful this allowed us to be at ease during our travel. We would recommend him to all our friends and family. Thank you so much for making this a worry free and happy time for our pup!”
“Michael and Madisyn are the best dog sitters we’ve had! We got daily updates on feedings, play time, walks and cuddles. The house was literally spotless when we returned. They’re communicative, respectful and most importantly, truly love and care about your pets. I highly recommend them for any services.”
“great sit. thanks so much, Larcy. the boys look forward to seeing you again. i could not have gone to see the eclipse if you hadn’t been available when the other sitter suddenly cancelled.”
“Nancy is the absolute best! So easy to work with! So thoughtful and detailed! We never worry about our pups when Nancy is there. I wish I could give her 10 stars.”
“Archie LOVES Lauren ◡̈ I had to go into the office all day and so I hired her to watch Archie while I was gone they played almost the whole time! She sent me pictures and videos throughout which made me feel at ease so I could focus on work! Archie is a high energy dog and she was able to handle him with ease! Showed up on time and understood everything she needed to know ◡̈ Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future! ◡̈”

About: I've taken care of family dogs all my life and had two dogs of my own for four years. Between all the dogs in my life, I've had experience with a wide range of dog personalities, behaviors, and health problems. I love going on long walks, snuggling, and playing with them. I'm very flexible schedule wise because I'm the main pet parent at home. I work from home and am taking multiple online courses. I only need some advance notice and communication. I have a fully fenced yard and leash my dogs at all times. I also will take all precautions at another house to make sure all animals are safe.
About: I’ve raised 3 dogs since they were puppies, and now have a 1 year old cat who’s orange and insane. I know how to handle young, energetic pets, to older, calmer pets in need of a different kind of attention. I take online classes and work part-time as a server. I’m mainly home with my cat, but have a sister who’s able to take care of him as well. I don’t have any particular needs when it comes to myself. I tend to care for pets however the owner would like me to! As long as supplies and instructions are provided.

9. Mariana U.
“I've known Mariana since we were in 6th grade (around 2012), and she has always been the first person I think of when it comes to a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Throughout the years, I've watched her show incredible devotion to her own two family dogs, always attentive and full of affection. Her passion for animals extends beyond her own pets—she's fascinated by all sorts of creatures, from sloths to capybaras. I have a cat and a dog myself, and whenever Mariana visits, she instantly connects with them, showering them with hugs, kisses, and endless attention. Her sweetness and care for every animal she encounters make her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter!”
