âMiranda was absolutely wonderful. We had such a last minute request and I am so thankful she was able to accommodate house sitting our babies. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my pets and will not leave them with just anyone. Both my dog and cat instantly warmed up to Miranda and loved her company. I was given constant updates of them to ease my worries. I am so thankful for Miranda and will be contacting her again in the future for more house sitting. Thank you so much !!!!â

âAlexandra took care of my cat as her own. She sent me lots of pictures and replied to my texts promptly at any time of the day. She addressed my concerns immediately. She kept my house clean and tidy as well. Grateful to have found someone I can trust now!â

About: Dogs have always been in my life even when I was growing up we always had at least two in the home. I connect with dogs so easily. Itâs second nature to me at this point. Iâm pretty familiar with large breed dogs, but also donât mind the minis. Iâm a pro at dog hiking as well so if youâre furry little friend needs some activity Iâm your gal! I currently work from home so it is very easy for me to get things done during the day and leaves a lot of room for going out. Rule #1 : owner inductions This is the FIRST thing I check. Once everything looks good, I typically will make sure that there is food and water and then immediately take the dog out and after maybe some play or some cuddles it depends on the day.
âNick did a great job watching our two Pitbulls for 10 days. The dog loved him. He kept the house clean and tidy and did a few small tasks for us as well. Definitely will use him again.â

About: I will give your pets all of the love, attention, and cuddles that they want. I will take them on daily walks and all follow all the/rules guidelines you have surronding your pets. I'm currently in between jobs so can come over for daily potty breaks and interactions as needed. When I am working, I am currently working, I will spend evenings and weekends with them when I am not at work or fufilling other obligations. I will follow all rules/guidelines you have and check on them periodically when they're outside. I will play with them, engage with them, cuddle with them, and make sure they feel loved.

âMary did a fantastic job with our 1yr old cattle dog and 11yr old cat. She stayed at our house for five days and checked in frequently. She took great care of them, and also went above and beyond. She cleaned the sheets, tidied the house, made us dinner and dessert to come back to, and even bought flowers. We will definitely be going to her first for dog/cat sitting for any upcoming trips.â

âI was in need last minute for a dog sitter and Amy was very responsive. Titan my pup and I met with Amy prior to the reservation, and Amy was very kind, asked a lot of thoughtful questions and I could tell immediately was a huge animal lover! As for her services, she went over and beyond! From taking Titan on walks, Starbucks dates and long cuddles on the couch, I was afraid Titanâs heart was going to belong to someone else by the time I came back home. Setting all jokes aside, Amy was incredible, I will absolutely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend her if anyone else is looking for someone to care for their pets.â

âAmazing job watching our Winnie! Thank you so very much to Emily for all the care given to our girl. Great communication and feedback during her stay and lots of pics to keep us up to date on how Winnie was doing while we were gone. Couldnât be happier and will definitely be using Emily again. â¤ď¸đž Winnie and her family!â

âCammi was personable and professional - very easy to work with. Our dogs loved her and, while it was our first time both with Cammi and in leaving our dogs with anyone other than family, we felt completely comfortable that Cammi knew what she was doing and was going to take good care of our beloved pets.â

About: I love animals of all kinds and sizes....and have lived with cats and dogs my entire life. I currently have 3 kitty cats (in my profile pic) and would love provide excellent care for baby. I have experience in all areas of care, including baths and administering medication. I currently work full time, 3 days in office and 2 days remote. My schedule after work hours is flexible to provide a variety of services to meet your pets needs. I take safety and happiness very seriously. I will love and care for your pets, in the same way I care for mine. Keeping all items out of reach for pet safety, avoiding other animals on walks, and making sure they happy and loved.
âAkala was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs! They were well taken care of and we got lots of updates on them during our 4 night vacation. She was very responsible and took great care of our house as well. It was super clean and just as we left it. We would definitely recommend Akala to take care of your pets and home while you are away.â

âEverything seemed to go well but we didnât get many updates/pictures during her stay. The animals were happy and fed when we got back so I think all went well! We didnât hear otherwise.â

âBrit is has been a lifesaver for us when we need to travel. She stays at our home with our pup and provides the best attention to Thunder. Brit truly spoils her. Also, the updates and pictures Brit sends of Thunder while we are gone puts us at ease to know she is be well taken care of.â


âGary was great with my pups and took great care of our house while we were gone. We were a bit disorganized with timing and he just went with it.â

About: I love animals of all kinds...cats, dogs, horses, lizards, reptiles. I grew up around large dog breeds and spent my childhood taking horseback riding lessons and playing in frog hollers. Now I have a cat of my own and would love to spend my summers off helping you with pet care, too. As a teacher, it is a joy to have summers off, and so much of my week has lots of leisurely free time. I'm available most weekdays until around 7pm. During the school year, I'd love to end my work day taking your furry friend out for a walk or stopping by to check in on them! Growing up around large dog breeds my whole life, I'm comfortable with dogs of all kinds. With a family member who works in vet medicine, I have some knowledge of pet care and pet health; including training, grooming, and dog-walking safety, and understanding pet behaviors. I also have previous experience pet sitting for friends and family, including varying feeding times and administering medications to pets. Pet safety has always been very important to me, so I always make sure my pets' vaccines are up to date, and I never let my cat out to roam outside. Dogs are always leashed, unless they are in their own private yard. I be sure to look out for other pets and animals while out to make sure everyone stays safe. I'm now so lucky to have a cat of my own who rules the house, loving all the attention in the world from her mom and dad. She loves treats and pets, and bird watching from the window. While my space is quite small for any boarding, I'd love to help you care for your furry friend by taking them on walks or helping out at home while you're away. Of course, with lots of treats to share!
âMe and Marley adore her! It was such a pleasure having her dog sit for me. Marley is a very anxious dog and tends to be shy around new people. Taylor was very understanding, patient, and loving towards Marley. He grew to love her and felt very comfortable with her. We canât wait for her next visit! 10/10 recommend.â

âWe were very comfortable leaving Hemi with Jennifer. We received updates daily and appreciated her positive attitude even though Hemi had stomach issues while we were gone. I would book Jennifer again and highly recommend. Thanks Jennifer!â

Laura was great. She took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away. We got pictures daily. The dogs were walked and spent time playing outdoors. It was a better vacation knowing our two babyâs were safe and happy. Highly recommended Laura to take care of your special pet.
