“We were very pleased with using Tammy for the first time with the two beardies at our home over the weekend. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her after meeting her and her careful attention to the details of taking care of them. We could tell they were pleased, unstressed and happy with her stay. We would not hesitate to use her again and refer her to friends! She took great care with our house as well”

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.
“Malika did a great job with house sitting and drop in visits with my dog, Dolly! Dolly is a foster pitbull who was recently pulled from a shelter, and she can be nervous around new people. Malika helped her relax and send lots of pictures and video updates!!”

“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”

“So glad to have found Gilda to housesit and take care of my 2 older and somewhat high maintenance dogs while I was away on vacation. She was very caring, conscientious, thoughtful, kind, and generous with her time. She gave medication for my oldest dog and was very patient with getting my picky eaters to eat their food. I highly recommend Gilda for pet and house sitting. She is wonderful!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our pups. She gave daily updates and pictures, very communicative, and we could tell our pups were well taken care of when we got home. Highly recommend her! We will definitely use her again.”

“Michelle is the absolute BEST! She took at-home-care of my Boston Finnley for 6 days while I was in cali and my baby absolutely loved her!! From the moment they met it was kisses and happiness !! Frequently she sent me updates and pictures, keeping me involved in their daily adventures! I felt at ease knowing he was well taken care of while I was gone, having loads of fun, walking, playing, and having a companion there in his own surroundings . It was obvious that she truly cares about our pets and that it goes beyond just fulfilling a job . I was lucky to have found her and couldn’t have had a better fit for my pup. We look forward to our next pet sitting with Michelle and thank her for being such a wonderful human being ❤️❤️❤️”

“Kris is fantastic! Gemma took to her right away and you can tell Kris knows dogs and their personalities. I’d love to say not to hire her to keep her to ourselves, LoL but I highly recommend her!”

“Jasmine did a great job house sitting for our high energy dog while we were gone. Definitely put our mind at ease for the week and would for sure go back at Jasmine again!”

“Sarah was communicative and easy to connect with. My house is probably cleaner than I left it and my dog had a great week doing all of his usual things--lots of outside time and couch hangs. Thanks, Sarah!”

“Kristan did great watching our dog at our house for the weekend! Our dog is a little particular and requires lots of walks for her energy and Kristan was great meeting her needs. She gave her all the attention she needs and gave us updates. She also left our house all neat and clean! Definitely recommend her!”

“Aimee house sat and watched our dog June for us and did a wonderful job! She was easy to communicate with and sent us regular updates. I would definitely recommend her to other dog parents and would ask her to sit again!”

“Chris, Laura, and Gracie were fantastic. They looked after my Daisy for 5 days. I was sent daily pics of Daisy's day. Daisy was very well taken care of and she made two new doggy friends during her stay! Chris and Laura have two dogs and they took my Daisy into their home like she was one of their own. I am confident that Daisy had a great time while she was there, that she was well cared for, that she was safe and that she felt right at home. I will definitely use Chris and Laura again when I plan another trip!”

“Leah was an exceptional sitter for my two dogs and cats. She was meticulous with her attention and care, and kept my home in great shape when I returned from a two week holiday. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Kelly was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! From the moment we met her, we could tell she truly loves animals and takes her job seriously. She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs absolutely adored her — it’s clear she treated them like her own. We couldn’t recommend Kelly more highly and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”
“Mackenzie was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our two girls! We were gone for 11 days, and we were a bit nervous as our older lab can be slow to warm up to new people. Mackenzie was so thoughtful and proactive, offering to come by for two separate meet-and-greets before our trip. It made a world of difference and put everyone at ease. While we were away, she sent lots of wonderful pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy and well cared for. To top it all off, we came home to a house that was even tidier than we left it! We are so thrilled with Mackenzie's care and professionalism. We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter for all future trips!”

“Kort was fantastic, I was worried about my pups and Kort since they had been a little on edge. But Kort put those worries to rest pretty quickly. He communicated with us the whole time, sent videos, and pictures. And I could tell when I got home that the pups were well taken care of. Will absolutely be using Kort again in the future if he’s willing!!”

As always, Tammy took wonderful care of my two Norwegian forest cats who are admittedly high maintenance! Knowing Tammy is looking after my babies allows me to take a vacation a couple times a year without having to worry about them - they’re in such good hands! Thanks so much. See you in September.

Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use for Isabella: ⸻ We had a wonderful experience with Isabella caring for our golden retriever. She truly has a passion for animals and took the time to make our dog feel relaxed and comfortable. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated and gave our family peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after our dog again!
