1. Savana R.


“Savana has been a godsend for my puppies! I work long hours and didn’t want to put my pets in a kennel. Since our first meet and greet, Savana has been professional, wonderful with my four-legged friends And they look forward to seeing her on every visit.”


2. Allyson B.
About: I have a passion for animals and have accumulated several years of personal pet care experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and reptiles! In addition to my personal experience, I have over 3 years of professional dog care experience working with dogs of all breeds, including puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. I understand the unique care requirements each pet has, and I strive to provide them with the attention, love, and comfort they deserve. I’m committed to ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for! I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of time to spend playing with your pups. Feel free to reach out for any inquiries! When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being! I stick to routines that provide a sense of consistency and security for the pets, whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime. Building trust is also essential, so I take the time to get to know each pet!

“Jaimee is wonderful with Murphy! He has a lot of anxiety and we can always tell he’s been so relaxed when she stays!”


4. Kimberly G.


“Kimberly was wonderful with our two pups Teddi and Bear! She was so knowledgeable with our 9 week old puppy. She updated us very frequently and was very professional. Thank you so much!”


5. Sarah S.


“After a past experience with a less than stellar dog sitter, we were very concerned about leaving Tikka, our 15 year old Malti-poo for 12 days but in Sarah's care, she was absolutely fine! From the first meet and greet when Tikka, who is normally a bit aloof in the beginning, climbed onto the couch with Sarah I felt that she would be in good hands. Throughout our trip (starting before our plane even took off) Sarah emailed with updates and photos letting us know how our pup was doing. Quite a few of our neighbors, in our building and neighborhood, made a point of telling me that they had met Sarah, how much they liked her and that it was clear that Tikka was in good hands. The real proof of what good care Sarah took of Tikka was when we arrived home to find Tikka fast asleep on the couch, close to where Sarah was sitting. While happy to see us, Tikka was not frenetic or upset, as she sometimes gets when left alone even for just a few hours. We hung out and chatted with Sarah before she departed and Tikka happily climbed onto the back of the couch behind Sarahto rest. Clearly she both liked and trusted Sarah! We are thrilled that we found someone that both we and more importantly our dog, like and trust, for future dog sitting. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah!”


6. Grayson S.

“Grayson took care of Kosmo, our 2 year old dog for 8 days which was the longest we'd been away from him. I consider him high maintenance because of his high energy and need for attention and alot of exercise. Grayson sent us daily updates of what she was doing with him and pictures which gave us huge peace of mind. She even took him out when it was raining which I know from experience can be a huge pain. We knew our pup was in great hands. When we came home the house was spotless and she did the laundry and dishes which was above and beyond!! Grayson is an absolute pro and I highly recommend her!”


7. Helaina F.
“Helaina is competent, punctual, and truly dedicated to the animals under her care. She has a heart of gold and a compassion for her furry charges that is boundless. If you need to leave your best friend(s) care to someone then there’s simply just no better choice than Helaina.”


8. Antonia G.

“Antonia was outstanding! We knew ahead of time our fur babies were in great hands and we were not disappointed. Antonia was in contact with us, sending photos and updating us along the way. Vacation was much more relaxing knowing our dogs were happily in their home being loved on. Such a great find for our family!”


9. Ana T.

“Ana was perfect for our dog and cat. She provided daily, detailed updates and truly went above and beyond in every way possible. I highly recommend her!!”


10. Jesse L.

“Jesse was great about house sitting with our two big dogs!!”


11. Sharon D.

“Sharon was nothing short of excellent in taking care of our loving companions, our dog Celtie, our three parrots as well as our home. We cannot say enough about how well Sharon cared for all of them. It seemed as though Celtie's routine, and the parrots routine had not missed a beat with us away. Pet owners know that animals have a good sense of character, our companions were not wrong about Sharon because during our meet and greet they took to Sharon quickly and she was comfortable with them. Sharon has and gently voice and calm demeanor and was sensitive to the needs of our senior dog. Sharon administered Celtie's meds on time and helped her down our deck stairs, when needed staying in the yard with her. This is our routine with Celtie and Sharon did it without us asking her to. I believe that it says a lot about Sharon's character as a person as a pet sitter. T To go further, we have to add that we cleaned our home before we left. Sharon cleaned, vacuumed, dusted washed and changed her sheets and remade the bed. The kitchen and stove were as clean as we left it. SO NICE. Sharon took care of our home as if it was her own, clearing 8" of snow outside as well. We could not have asked for more. It's comforting to know that our companions were, and will be, in loving care when we go away again. Sharon is the best and we will hope for her sitting again. Tim & Ed”


12. Ivy W.

“We had a wonderful experience with Ivy, who stayed overnight with our two Bernese Mountain Dog pups. She was incredibly attentive, engaging them with playtime and making sure they were comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Ivy provided regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Above all, she was professional, polite, and courteous. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”


13. Ryan H.
“Ryan did an excellent job watching our two dogs this past weekend! They were both happy and tired when we got home. He sent lots of pictures too. You could tell he is very passionate about animals. We will definitely be using Ryan again for any pet sitting needs.”


14. Mikayla R.
“I had an elderly 75lb St Bernard mix Milo who had several health issues that I would have Mikayla take care of while I was away. She did a great job keeping him happy and healthy taking him for walks every day, giving medication, and would always give him the love and attention he needed.”


15. Natalie B.

“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and it was such a positive experience! Natalie was AMAZING! It's clear how much she loves animals. She was able to keep our anxious dog calm and distracted while we were away. She kept us informed and sent pictures regularly. We will absolutely call on her again to care for our dog!”


16. Ashley D.

“Ashley was wonderful to come out of her service area to care for my aging St. Bernard when my other sitter cancelled at the last minute...not only that, she came out early to meet Finn so that he'd recognize her when she came to stay. Finn was very well cared for --Ashley saw that he got through the hot summer day in comfort. She also kindly shared a few shots of Finn during her stay. I recommend Ashley as being kind, professional and a great communicator.”


17. Melissa T.
“Melissa has a special gift with animals, dogs especially! She was raised in a multiple dog household since she was born! She has been involved with and been learning dog training techniques since a young child. Her level of responsibility is very high and she never disappoints. Any dog in her care, whether it be for a day or a week, receives all the care and love that you would give your dog! I am highly confident in recommending Melissa for all of your pet sitting needs!”

About: i’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, i have my senior baby who is a 13 year old 80lb american bulldog sweetpie, and a year ago i adopted a border collie/ pitty mix who has grown into a 40lb ball of energy. so i have a good understanding of the different types of dogs and how their breed affects their personalities. me and my girlfriend will be doing this together in case of emergencies and to help. she has the same experience i do & she’s 20. we have to keep my puppy entertained for nearly all hours of the day. she goes to the dog park in the mornings for 2+ hours and we take her on hikes. she loves all dogs and is very well trained in all aspects. she loves playdates! i’m working part-time so we will have to schedule times for potty breaks/visits & for walks. i work 5 days a week all different times. i will treat your puppy like i treat my own. i believe in positive reinforcement with bad behaviors & i can incorporate training into the experience. in my experience i find e-collars & prong collars very rewarding. we can go over the tools that work best for you & ur dog as well as treats you will pre-approve. i only believe in the best for you & ur dogs!!


19. Madelyn M.
“Maddie is one of the most reliable people I know! She is extremely responsible, patient and kind. She goes above and beyond for the pet's she takes care of. She has a knack for softening even the most difficult pups--her warmth and gentle manner make any pet feel welcome and taken care of. These qualities make her the perfect candidate to care for your pet :)”


20. Leeann E.
About: I’m 25 years old. I own two dogs myself (King Charles Spaniel mixes). One of which has a severe medical condition which requires medication. So I am comfortable giving dogs pills. I love them both to pieces. I have also walked my neighbors dogs ever since I was 15. I know CPR and first aid. Unfortunately, I can’t administer shots to a dog. Reason being that I’ve never done it before. Also I’m not a big fan of needles and I don’t think the dogs are either. I love exercise so we would both be happy at the end of the day. In the end, I promise to care for your dogs like they were my own. Thank you for considering me to be your dog walker. I’m currently working another job, but I’ll make time to play with your pups! I work mostly nights, so morning time is best for me. I’m sure we’ll work out the best situation for all of us. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog that can keep your fur baby company. I can crate my dog if needed. I also have pee pads ready for puppies and lots of toys.
