“Audrianna was amazing especially last minute! Our puppy was having a rough time being home by himself. She came and checked on him and fed him. When our puppy had an accident she helped clean him up which is amazing! Would definitely work with her again! She was fantastic!”


“Madeline was awesome and very helpful watching our two dogs! Very professional, communicative and friendly. We would definitely book with her again! Thank you Madeline!”


“100% amazing! She is my go to sitter! Would recommend her to anyone! I can travel with one of my dogs, but can’t with the other and Angela does amazing with her and her anxiety! Would recommend to my best friends, and you too!”


“Hannah stepped in to take care of our newly diagnosed diabetic kitty. She administered medicine and sent photos to make sure we knew he was doing good! We are so appreciative that we found her!”


“Nancy did an awesome job, she sent plenty of picture updates while taking care of my dogs and cat and it was obvious that they were enjoying her company. Would definitely recommend her and would ask her to look after them again in a heart beat.”


“Ann was very accommodating and understanding with taking care of my doggy, sent me plenty of pictures and even made sure to give her extra attention when she could tell she needed it! I will definitely be contacting her in the future and i definitely recommend her. Thanks again Ann :)”


About: Please be mindful of drop off and pick up when scheduling so before 7AM and after 4:30PM are the best times for me. I’ve cared for friends dogs as well as my own. I’m a naturally caring person and love all animals. I treat them as my own. My time is also very precious and I understand that things come up but if I do not receive a response after request or it expires then I will not be able to accommodate later. Respectfully I accept bookings fairly quickly so if you request multiple sitters please let me know. My schedule is changing so walks and potty breaks will be adjusted. However I am still able to provide care as I do with my own fur baby. I stay in a condo but I have two bedrooms. There’s plenty of space when it comes to cages, food and just relaxation for your pet.

“We rely on Matthew every time we need a pet sitter for our special-needs cat. He does a great job. This time we were out of the country for a week, and had no concerns. We will continue to use his service.”


“Jamie checked in our pets while we were gone for the weekend. She was a life saver when our original plans fell through. She is very punctual, and she sent us videos during her visits. We will definitely her again!”


About: Hello! My name is Erik and through growing up with cats and raising a rambunctious 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I'm the perfect active adult to take care of your animal friends. I work from home, giving me plenty of time for ball throws, tug of war, and enough snuggles and head scratches that your pet may never want to leave. I work from home full-time and take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, ball throws, and bathroom breaks! Because I already have a dog myself, regular breaks are already baked into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am within walking distance from several large grassy areas. Furthermore, working from home full-time allows me time to be attentive to your pet's needs!

About: Hi! I am your fur baby's new best friend! I've owned dogs for over 20 years. Volunteered at shelters, taken in strays and found them homes, and adopted as well. I have sat for countless friends and family over the years and now I'd like to become an entrepreneur of sorts, doing what brings me joy! Open schedule currently. I am able to accommodate and work around sudden schedule changes. Looking to sit at least 3 times a week. Book me please! I respect others pets and property and treat it as my own. Reputation and trust are important and if a family is so kind to consider me to take care of their furbaby, I would do nothing to jeopardize that trust.

“We really enjoyed having Miki take care of our cats when we were on vacation. We could tell that they really enjoyed her and Miki spent a lot of time playing with them and making sure they felt loved. Our cats had a little “staycation” with Miki when we were gone ?. Miki was very thoughtful when taking care around our house as well, bringing packages inside, rinsing out the empty cans of wet food so they don’t stink, and several other things that made us feel comfortable that everything was good at home! I could not recommend Miki enough! We will definitely be calling her when we go on future trips”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and bring a calm, patient energy that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped with crate training, leash manners, and administering medications, and I’m great at tuning into each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the way I connect with animals. I treat every pet like family and always take my time to build trust. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or a quiet presence, I adapt to what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make space in my schedule to give them the attention they deserve. I’m flexible during the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, especially in the mornings, midday, and evenings. I plan my days around each pet’s needs and make sure I’m fully present during every visit. Whether it's a short walk or an overnight stay, your pet will always be my top priority. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines to leash preferences and medication. I double-check doors, gates, and collars to ensure everything is secure during walks or visits. I also create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m attentive to their body language, needs, and routines, and I always send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.


“Lindsay was a lifesaver for our two week visit to Tucson with our two dogs. She did a face to face meet and greet and then followed our directions to the letter. Each time she visited she played with our fur babies took and sent multiple pics . She arrived promptly and texted when she arrived and left. We wish we could take her back to our home town! Thanks so much Lindsay.”


About: Taken care of family dog for years, as well as took care of my neighbors two dogs when they were out of town many different times. I currently work in the office most days, but with afternoons and nights totally open. I am also totally open on weekends for pet care. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to roam around and relieve themselves, as well as plenty of space inside and am very attentive to their needs.

About: I've owned pets my entire life. I've cared for all of my pets through senior ages, including managing many variations of care/medications, with compassion. I'm looking forward to helping care for others pets since I no longer have one of my own. Being a hands on dog mom for so many years, I understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy care taker to match my care expectations, so I'm hopeful to help others that experience the same for their own fur family member. I work from home 3 days a week, so I'm home 5 out of 7 days. I work 4 miles from my home so can make frequent visits on the 2 days I'm in office. I have no other pets or children in the home. I can care for your pet(s) as if they are in your own home. I can provide frequent bathroom breaks, walks, and medication administration.

About: I have cared for different types/sizes dogs and cats for over 10 years while family/friends have needed assistance. I will treat them like they are my own and would be happy to provide pictures/updates through out the stay! I am currently working from home, so I am very flexible and can care for and love your pets like I do my own. I am able to make frequent drop-ins or stay with them, whatever makes you more comfortable! I have a 3.5 year old Staffordshire/Lab mix if your dog is needing a friend while you are away. I am also a self proclaimed tug-o-war champ and always enjoy a long classic game of fetch.

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

Erik W.
“Erik is more than a responsible pet-watcher, he LOVES dogs and cats. My chocolate lab, Winnie, always has the best time with Erik (and his amazingly behaved retriever, Summer!). Winnie receives cuddles, great exercise (ball throws in the dog park near his house/in his backyard and long walks when it isn't too hot), and overall care. Erik shares wonderful daily (or more if requested) updates, including photos. Erik's house is very clean, and I trust him so much to take great care of any fur-babies.”

Crystal W.
“Leaving our two pets and home in someone else’s hands was a big deal. Crystal made it stress-free! She stayed overnight with our dog and cat, sent us regular updates, and left our house spotless. We came home to happy pets and total peace of mind. She's responsible, trustworthy, and treats your pets like her own.”

Arlie M.
“Arlie has one of the most pure loves for animals I have ever seen. She grew up with dogs and the love and loyalty those dogs have had for her is so amazing to see. I have known Arlie through some of her busiest and hectic times, and she never fails to do what she knows she needs to do whether it is inconvenient to her or not. I have no doubt that whatever pet she has will be the most loved and cared for animal and that love will go both ways.”


Jessica B.Star Sitter
“To Whom It May Concern, I have known Jessica for over 20 years. She is a loving daughter, doting aunt and loyal friend. This is only surpassed by her love and compassion for her fur babies and animals in general. No matter what is going on in her life, her fur babies come first. She makes her plans and has planned her life around her dogs needs; who always come first. I would want someone with Jessica’s compassion and passion watching over my fur babies. She would be an asset to any animal organization. As a volunteer with animal shelters for over 20 years, I know what dedication to animals looks like and that is Jessica. Please feel free to free to call me should you wish to chat in person. Pat Rohling 9725331283”


Kevin M.
“I can't recommend Kevin enough! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with him and appreciated the numerous updates, pictures, and videos he sent me of her while I was away. It's clear that he loves animals and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well taken care of. One of the things I appreciated most was how much time he spent walking her, playing with her, and getting her exercise. She came home totally worn out, which is not easy to do ! It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was getting plenty of playtime, attention, and love while I was away. I would definitely book Kevin again!!”
