“Lady P. What can I say? Her care for our dogs was beyond measure. Not only did she keep them safe and well cared for; she was perfectly loving towards them. Patty went above and beyond in every single way and she has the kindest heart. I would not hesitate to have her care for our boys again. She had a big job ahead of her, for an extended period of time and she did it all with care and grace. We are grateful beyond measure. I would give her 100 stars! Thank you so much for your big heart and for providing us with peace of mind while we were away.”
“We really felt that Trista was very attentive to Pippi‘s needs. She kept our house very well. Pippi was a very happy girl when we came home, but she went looking for Trista after greeting us. We will definitely book Trista again when we need someone to stay with Pippi.”
“Abby was professional, friendly, and great with our dog! She sent photos and updates while we were gone. Our dog was relaxed and happy when we returned home - could t ask for better!”
About: I am a teacher by trade, and because of that I am organized and patient. I love animals deeply and will care for them as they were my own. I am a teacher, so I have lots of free time in the summer, and weekends and holidays. My schedule is pretty full, but I make time for animals and walking- because it makes me a better teacher- and human! I would care for them as I would if they were my own animals, with safety and love first, and of course strictly following the owners instructions.
“Charity is GEM! She graciously accepted my last minute request to housesit with my 2 cats. She intuitively recognized my boys normal routine(s) & her daily check in assured me all was well. She worked some magic with my "anxious" Ollie. He was so calm & relaxed when I got home. I will not hesitate to request Charity again in the future. Thank You Charity!”
“Tara was incredible with our pups! She asked all the right questions before her stay and then treated my dogs exactly like we do while we were gone. I never for a moment worried about the dogs or my house for the week we were gone. She's amazing and we are so lucky to have found her.”
About: I've been in a household with dogs my entire life, and have dealt with those who have specific dietary needs as well as needing assistance when moving. I know how to handle dogs that need urine guards/diapers, primarily for house training. I can give baths, play, feeding of course, and walks as well as help work on training simple things. If there's anything extra needed then just leave me instructions and I'll follow them to a T! My time is very flexible save for Tuesdays, but unless a change in time is needed then I'm available all days of the week. I'm typically better from 12 noon and later, but if you happen to be within my culdesac then I can go much earlier, just let me know. While I won't be watching pets at my place, my two cats have access to both floors due to Tue second floor being where bedrooms are and their food, toys, and litter pans being downstairs. My cats typically perch in my bedroom and curl up for naps, one more aloof while the other is made of velcro to my hip, hahaha.
“Jessica was super helpful and super nice with with my dogs! I had a mishap with my schedule and she was able to work with me and even offered to give money back when I let her know less then a day in advance! I know my dogs can be a handful sometimes but I did not get one complaint from her, so I would highly recommend and rebook anytime!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs in my life since the day I was born, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My current dog, JD, has only deepened my love and understanding of how important patience, trust, and routine are for pets. In addition to being a lifelong dog owner, I also have a professional caregiving background, which has strengthened my reliability, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I’m comfortable following routines, giving medications when needed, and providing compassionate care to both people and animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, overnight care, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I’ll care for them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for others has always been a big part of my life. Between raising and caring for animals throughout my life and my professional caregiving background, I’m very used to building my schedule around routines, consistency, attentiveness, and reliability. I enjoy incorporating walks, feeding routines, playtime, check-ins, and companionship into my day, and I’m comfortable adapting to different pets’ needs and energy levels. Since I value calm environments and structured care, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and less stressed while their owners are away. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and each pet’s personality and comfort level. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, affection, and calm companionship while also respecting the client’s space and instructions. I’m especially patient with shy, anxious, senior, or routine-oriented pets and understand the importance of consistency and gentle care. I have a caregiving background, so I’m very attentive, dependable, and comfortable monitoring behavior changes, following detailed care instructions, and providing extra reassurance when needed. My goal is always to help pets feel secure, cared for, and loved while their owners have peace of mind.
“Absolutely wonderful! Larraine was very responsive from the get go and the communication kept flowing throughout the process and the trip. My pup(who can be super anxious) showed no signs of anxiety when we got home, just happiness. Great experience, highly recommend.”
“Christopher was great again with our corgi boys! We realized as we were leaving that their food would likely run out while we were away, and Christopher offered to run to the pet store which we so appreciated! Thanks for going above and beyond!”
“Kaylee was fabulous house/pet sitting with our 2 dogs and 4 cats for four days. Followed instructions to the ‘T’ and went above beyond; very communicative and reassuring.”
About: My senior dog is constantly active which is surprising so I try and keep him as busy as possible. Some of the other older dogs I take my time with while taking them on walks. If they walk extremely slow. Other dogs tend to sniff everything which I have patience for. When a dog brings me a toy it’s an indicator for me to play with them. I work Monday through Friday so weekends are best. I take care of my own dog throughout the week with my significant other watching him on the weekends when I’m not home. I walk my dog multiple times a day knowing it’s a good way to keep him active. In my own home I watch my dog when he eats. He has 2 teeth when we adopted him so when he eats his food, I watch him very carefully. Anytime I’m not home I put on a YouTube video for dogs so he has some sound. When it comes to other animals I’ve watched, if it’s a full day I would prefer not to leave them alone. Taking them out multiple times a day and of course plenty of love!
About: I absolutely love dogs ! They truly are man’s best friend till the end. I have two dogs of my own , whom I love very much ! I have experience in dog sitting as well as dog walking and I am passionate about providing good care and excited to meet new pups! I fit pet care into my day/week routine because I have two dogs of my own. One is a pit bull and another is a boarder collie so to say they need care is an understatement. They have the upmost energy. I will play with them and wear them out so they get a good nights sleep. With that being said we walk, hike, run, go to the beach, play fetch , etc. as much as we can. I treat my puppies very kindly , if not they’re quite spoiled. 😉 I care very deeply about animals and I aim to help when I can !
About: Owner of a Siberian husky for over a decade. Have trained her since she was a puppy. She is now a senior and requires minimal walks compared to when she was young. She gets along with cats really well and is around farm animals frequently. Working 40 hours a week while managing pet care is essential, I am able to work around my schedule as fit for the animal's needs. Please inform me if any needs are requested to make sure everything, like fresh water, is taken care of. I offer care at the clients home, which I have experience in. I am usually in the same room as my pets, so I will often be in the same area with your pet while they are under supervision. Please inform me at least a day in advance for booking.
About: Hi! You can call me Bee, and my whole life I have been passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. In my youth I helped my Mom with overnight pet sitting. As an adult I spent 2 years in management with Petco where I was intimately involved in all the areas of animal care including administering medication and dog bathing. Additionally, I have many years of experience with caring for my own pets as well as helping my friends and family with their pets. I work as an independent contractor and can adjust my schedule around all of your pet's needs. I value making your pet feel at home and loved during their entire stay. My family lives in an adorable farmhouse and we would love to have your fur baby come stay with us for a unique experience enjoying the natural environment we have available right outside our doorstep. Your loved one will be treated as one of our own alongside my 12 year old cat, 8 month old kitten, and a 3 year old Iguana (who has his own enclosure). Your pet will also enjoy the smells of farm animals that stay on the property, including sheep and horses. You can trust that your pet will have all of their needs met no matter how much or how little adventure they can handle while staying with us. Dedicated areas can be blocked or fenced of to accommodate all of your pets needs depending on their level of socialization. Private one on one time including bathing and walks can be arranged or play with friendly neighbor dogs who frequent the property can be arranged as well if that is something your pet would benefit from. We maintain a clean and calm environment inside of our home with a warm wood stove they can lay by and large windows they can watch the various wildlife from; again providing as much or as little socialization as they need. If I will be visiting your home for walks or overnight sitting I would spend some time observing their behaviors and understanding their areas and what they like. In any situation your pet will recieve all of the love and belly rubs they want and need. We can't wait to meet you!

Responded quickly and stepped in to help when another sitter canceled the day before my trip. She connected to my dogs with warmth and confidence, made them feel safe, took good care and even stayed late when my flight was delayed. She kept me informed, asked questions when she needed information about their routine and shared pictures. I appreciated her!
I'd give Lisa a 5+. She had them for 2 weeks. She was wonderful with our Brittanys. She texted updates daily with pictures and a couple of funny videos. She walked our girls daily. The older dog could only walk so far, so she had to walk her a smaller distance and then a longer distance for the younger dog. She had medicine she had to give our older girl twice daily and vitamins for the younger girl. The house was cleaner than we left it. She even did our laundry. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our girls. It really helped us to enjoy our time away without worry. We will definitely call her next time we take a vacation. We also left a tip because she was worth it. Our girls are going to miss her. Thank you so much Lisa!!!
Abby was a really good sitter for our dog, Whoopee. Whoopee is a very active English Springer Spaniel who suffers from separation anxiety. Upon our return, we were pleased to see a calm and happy dog. Abby took her on walks and genuinely cared about her well-being. We received regular photos of the morning walks. Abby cares for many animals of her own and seems to have a knack for getting along with and communicating with them. At our meet & greet, our doggie relaxed with her within 5 minutes. WE would definitely use Abby again.
Shana was wonderful with my 2 pups! She took great care of them for the week we were gone and even went out of her way to clean up before she left the house. Amazing experience and I have to say I'm so excited to find someone of her caliber to be there for us when we travel from our home. She is amazingly transparent, sweet and efficient. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Thank you Shana!
