“June was very flexible with scheduling and it was clear she loves animals. Kenai adored her. I was given daily updates and photos. She was wonderful, I would book with her again!”


“This is our second time using Nadiya and I'm so thankful for her watching after our boys, particularly our old lab. In his older years, he has been starting to have some health issues that we are trying to figure out, and Nadiya has been so gracious as to be both flexible and communicative as we navigate his new normal with age. As my husband said when we arrived home to a clean house and happy animals, along with all the cute pictures she sent during her time with our pets, "she's a keeper". I would recommend Nadiya to literally anyone.”


“Kelly was AWESOME! Exactly what we wished for. She gave our abandoned/adopted baby he needs to adjust. Makes it easier to plan a trip knowing she would be with our baby. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


About: After being with my shih tzu Charlie since I was 5 years old, I’ve grown to adore animals no matter their shape nor size! I’ve learned to care for dogs and cats in many ways! I’m completely free, anytime, anywhere, to take care of your animals! Preferably a day communication in advance would be great to take the best care of your pets. I’m able to handle aggressive and not trained animals as any other, as well as survey them 24/7. Living with two cats currently, I am able to always check up on them and provide the TLC needed!

“Shayla was a wonderful communicator and incredibly patient and persistent with Ruthie. It was Ruthie's first time home with someone other than family and she can be a tough nut to crack. Shayla was positive all the way through and eventually, the two were cozy and secure. Shayla sent regular updates and I felt confident that my little girl was in good hands. We will be booking Shayla again for drop in and a home stay soon.”


“ErinW🐕 was fabulous! She was patient and wonderful with my two senior girls Gemma & Loretta. Loretta is blind & needs extra attention.I was happy to hear updates, jealous of the fun they were having❣️I will definately be using ErinW again💕”


“Mr cat did very well with Danielle. He had none of the stress related problems he sometimes gets when I travel. Danielle was attentive to detail. I left written instructions which she followed. The house was in order, the mail brought in, and the plants are looking good. I'll definitely book again.”


“In a word, Shawn is "great!". He stayed with our furry little ones almost a week while we were traveling and was a fantastic fill-in pet parent and house guest. Pets were happy and house was immaculate when we returned. Couldn't ask for more!”


“Had a last minute need for a long term overnight cat sitter, and Yvette was very quick to respond and set up a meeting. I really appreciated how accommodating she could be. My cat was very shy, but I still received updates every other day.”


“Katy was such a joy to work with, she took excellent care of my senior fur baby (Dharma) for the weekend while I was skiing out of state. Katy sent the absolute best updates, and went for nice long walks with Dharma. She is super communicative and an all around fun and kind human. Your dog / cat will be in the best hands with her :)”


“Cassandra did a wonderful job caring for out babies. She arrived on time , sent pictures , kept us updated on how they were doing ! When she came to do greet to meet our pets went to her immediately which they only do for someone they like and trust .that in itself was the top thing important to us. She is sitting again for us again and it feels good to have a pet sitter you can trust and know your babies are happy and loved .when we moved we lost the ones we had prior that was so hard to leave they as well were the best .it took us 2 years to finally find a new one .I highly recommend her !”


About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!


“Andie cared for my home and 2 cats while I was away. She sent an update within first 24 hours & left my house cleaner than I left it. She responded quickly to questions & did not hesitate when I asked if she could stay an additiona day. Thank you Andie!”


About: I have always had dogs in my house since I was small and in the past five years we have gotten cats. We have also had some exotic animals including: chinchilla , hamsters, guinea pigs, a bearded dragon, and birds. I work as a transcriber so I am always home. My dogs need medication so I make sure they eat it after their food. As I have cats as well I do a daily scoop to make sure that there is no waste in there. I make sure to always read every part of instructions for the care of the fur baby that I am taking care of as well as cleaning up after the mess that may happen while I am there.

“Lee was able to take care of our 3 dogs in our home at the last minute without problem. She was very respectful of our home and our animals. We will reach out to Lee first if we need accommodations for our animals again.”



“Justin did an excellent job with our dog Marley he stayed in our home for nearly a week. When we returned everything was as we left it He took the garbage out and fed the fish which was a real plus for us. We received daily photos of our dog enjoying himself which made our trip more enjoyable My wife Patti and I would not hesitate in rehiring Justin and we recommend him to anyone in need of someone to stand by when you can't be there yourself”


About: I bring a wealth of experience, working with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. Whether it's following precise care instructions, administering medication, or offering extra patience for older pets, I'm committed to their well-being. Here are a few things that make my service stand out: Experienced Across All Ages: I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies who need extra attention to senior dogs who require gentle care and patience. High Energy and Love for Walks: I love being active and going on long walks with dogs. Whether your pup needs extra playtime or a brisk walk to burn off energy, I’m always ready to join in and keep them active and happy. Trustworthy and Reliable: I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away. You can count on me to follow instructions to the letter, ensuring your dog's routine is maintained with care and consistency. Conscientious Care: Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’m always mindful of their needs, whether it’s adhering to feeding schedules, exercise routines, or offering companionship during quiet moments. Personalized Attention: Every dog has its own personality and preferences. I make it a point to get to know your pet and tailor my care to their specific likes and needs. Let me help you keep your pets happy, safe, and well-cared for while you're away! As a potter and online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. My studies can be done remotely, which makes house sitting and pet care an ideal fit for my routine. Whether it’s providing company to your pet during the day or attending to their needs in the evening, I can easily balance my responsibilities with their care. Here's how it all works together: Flexibility for Your Pet’s Needs: My schedule allows me to work from anywhere, so I can be present in your home, giving your pet companionship and care whenever needed. Whether your pet thrives on extra attention or prefers a quieter routine, I’m able to adjust my day around their needs. Time for Play and Rest: While attending online classes or working on assignments, I make sure to build in breaks to give your pet playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. With a flexible routine, I can devote focused attention to your pet when they need it most. Loving House Sitting: House sitting is a natural fit for my lifestyle. It allows me to combine my love for animals with the flexibility of studying remotely, ensuring both your home and pet are well cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets in their own home ensures they stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. When I step into your home, my goal is to provide the same love and attention your pet is used to while maintaining a clean, safe, and stress-free environment. Here’s how I approach in-home pet care: Maintaining Routines: Pets thrive on routine, and I’m dedicated to sticking closely to their usual schedule, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or any specific rituals you follow. This helps your pet feel secure and minimizes any anxiety while you're away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring everything is kept clean and orderly. I make sure to leave your space exactly as I found it, and I am mindful of security measures like locking doors and managing access. Personalized Attention: I take the time to get to know your pet and their preferences, ensuring they get the right amount of play, affection, and downtime. Whether it’s giving extra cuddles, engaging in their favorite games, or allowing them time to relax undisturbed, I tailor my care to their needs. Health and Safety First: I always keep a close eye on your pet's health and well-being. If they have any medical needs or require medication, I’ll administer it carefully and on schedule. Should I notice anything unusual with their behavior or health, I’ll promptly keep you informed. Clear Communication: I understand how important peace of mind is. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. You'll always be in the loop!

Jessica K.

“It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Jessica as a trusted and reliable house and pet sitter. Over the past ten years, Jessica has looked after our home and pets multiple times each year, and she continues to be our first choice whenever we travel. Jessica is exceptionally attentive and dependable. She has cared for our two dogs, Max and Daisy, and our two cats, Oliver and Luna, with genuine affection and professionalism. She keeps us updated regularly with thoughtful messages and photos, which brings us so much peace of mind while we're away. It’s clear our animals are deeply attached to her—each time we return, they search the house for her and seem to miss her presence. In addition to her wonderful care of our pets, Jessica takes great pride in maintaining our home. Without fail, we return to find the house cleaner than we left it. She waters our plants, brings in packages, and even keeps an eye out for anything unusual. Several neighbors have mentioned how friendly and respectful she is and have complimented her presence in the neighborhood during our absence. We trust Jessica implicitly. She’s thoughtful, communicative, and incredibly conscientious. Her attention to detail and ability to handle any concerns make leaving home so much easier. Without question, we will continue to rely on her for our future pet care needs. If you're considering Jessica as your sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She’s simply the best.”
