“Jackie was great! Right from the meet and greet through to my return, I was confident my dogs were in good hands. My Mercy is very suspicious of new people, but warmed up to Jackie within minutes. I was confident Mercy and Lainie were in good hands. Jackie even took Lainie to playgroup (Mercy would not go, and that was fine). I was amazed at the condition of the dogs and house upon my return as they were immaculate! I would highly recommend Jackie to everyone interested in a dog/house sitter!”

“Jessica has watched our three dogs a few times and is always communicative, respectful of our house, and spends time and takes good care of our dogs. We will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs.”

“Marideth was fantastic! Very kind and responsive. She watched our 10 yr.old Jack Russell Bandit during our weekend away and kept everything in order & our Bandit had a great time! We would definitely book her services again.”

“Ciara was amazing as always! She stayed over with our GSD for the weekend and she gave us constant updates and pictures throughout the entire stay! I would trust her with my babies any day!”

Past pet sitting experience includes staying at pet owners homes while out of town, on need basis walks, and home visits all through sitter city.

Professionally I worked as a dog daycare attendant at K9 connection providing a safe and fun environment for pups while their owners were at work. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for an emergency animal hospital, giving me experience in medical emergencies and medication administration.I have my own transportation so that will never be an issue, I will always be willing to take your furry friend to a dog park or trails near your home. Having 4 furry family members of my own and my vast experience in the animal field I'm always willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best experience for you and your furry family members. I work a full time laboratory technician role but I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm always willing to work with you to fit your busy schedule.

And ensure it’s my top priority keep pets on their daily feeding and walking schedule so it matches their day to day life.
“Judith is nothing short of amazing!! She is so kind and caring and our shy & nervous girl is just in love with her. The piece of mind she gave us for our long trip away was priceless! She gave Nutmeg all the care she needed and more. We’re so grateful. We will definitely have her back soon and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top care for their pups!!!”

“Ezra was great with Coco! Immediately on entering our house they were calm and knew how to make our girl feel at ease with a new person (not easy - my dog is mostly cattle dog and they are suspicious of almost everyone). Ezra was responsive and thorough. Looking forward to calling them again!”

“Professional and talented house sitter! We had to leave town last minute and Elisabeth was here on schedule to meet and care for our dogs. She made record progress with our one who can be reactive to strangers, and kept them on their routine while we were away. Thanks and we will definitely rebook in the future.”

About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.

About: I grew up with a variety of animals all around me, but I have especial experience with dogs and cats. I am a cat mama of 1 sweet, docile senior kitty. I am a current incoming 1st year medical student at the Jacobs School of Medicine, and I would love to take care of the furry friends in my new community! I am a full-time medical student. My first priority when I return home is my sweet old kitty, and your pet would join him in that spot as well! I am prompt to give abundant attention and play, and I follow a diligent feeding schedule. My cat is very socialized (grew up in a household of 7 people and 4 other cats/dogs), and he is fully up-to-date on his vaccinations. I love animals and would love to give a little extra care to others’ fur babies when I can! The safety and wellbeing of my cat is my number one priority, and I treat all animals to this same standard. I love showering my cat with attention, and I of course would pour my love into your pet as well. I am extremely mindful of respecting animals’ boundaries as well, and playing to the tune that is right for them. I love to embrace the unique animal personalities which come my way, and I am happy to accommodate pet needs as they present!
“We just moved across the US. We had to go back to our state for nine days. I had a greater peace of mind with Jessica watching our dogs. Very thankful. She sent pictures FaceTime a couple times. To say hi to our babies. I enjoyed the experience. I would hire her again. Kogi and Gus enjoyed her.”

About: I love getting to know each individual pet’s personality and needs, and approach them with respect to make them feel comfortable and safe. I have many years of experience with animals who need insulin shots and oral medications, and experience with all ages. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! At home, I have a tripod husky and a cat who has traveled far with me. I go on miles-long walks every day… always with dog treats in my pockets :) I'm currently working from home setting my own schedule, so walking your dog would fit well into my day. If you live near me, an overnight at your place is possible as I like to give my Stormy cat her breakfast and outside grass time by mid morn. I have lots of cat toys in my house for my cat. I hope your dog has toys and if it's just a walk, then a good leash and baggies to collect poop are essential. I am all about fresh water and seeing that their space is just how they like it.
“Amanda was great with my 2 dogs. Kyra is a handful and she had patience and understanding with both of my dogs. She sent pictures and updated me regularly. I would recommend her and I will be rebooting her again.”

“So very happy to have Haley stay with my girls! I got many updates and photos that made me feel comfortable and happy being away. She was always on time and very friendly with them :) I would definitely recommend having Haley watch your babies!”

“Candace was amazing! I was worried leaving my 7 wk old puppy but they did wonderfully! Candace kept me posted with pics and made sure he was well taken care of! Definitely will be using again and recommend!”

This is the third time Jessica's watched my very ancient dog, Bob, and he's not easy to watch. Bob gets medication daily, can't go up or down stairs, and needs a lot of care. She always comes when she says she will, stays until I need her, and she's been wonderfully flexible when my flights have been late (which is lucky, but so greatly appreciated). She leaves the house just as found, and I would highly recommend her!

Izzy took great care of my boy and the house. She goes above and beyond and really loves animals... You can just tell. I appreciated all the picture updates and made me happy to see that he was being cared for because it's so hard to leave him when we have to go away. I highly recommend Izzy for any of your pet's needs. She's amazing!.

Emma had her second stay with Lucy and Polly, and it went great. Emma is so good at sending updates and photos of the girls that I miss them when I'm away. I feel very comfortable with Emma staying with the girls in my home, knowing that they and the house are well cared for.

Ezra was great with Coco! Immediately on entering our house they were calm and knew how to make our girl feel at ease with a new person (not easy - my dog is mostly cattle dog and they are suspicious of almost everyone). Ezra was responsive and thorough. Looking forward to calling them again!

Amanda was wonderful. It was my first time using Rover and she put my mind at ease. She came over, met the dogs before housesitting. The dogs looked really happy in the picture she sent - even my skeptical dog had her tongue hanging out. Already booked Amanda again!

Bri was wonderful with our senior dog. As our dog has gotten older, it has become trickier to find someone we trust to leave her with— anxiety inducing for both us and the dog! But we felt great leaving her with Bri and came home to a very happy pup. Bri was very communicative and gave us lots of updates. We look forward to booking with her again!
