1. Tyler G.

“Ty stayed at our house for 10 nights and watched our 2 cats. He was absolutely amazing! I could tell he spent a lot of time with them because he knew so many of their likes and dislikes. He sent me pics every day and was always willing to share stories when I was missing them. He was very respectful of our home and kept things tidy! We will definitely be using him whenever we go away in the future!”


2. Pamela M.
“Pamela is one of the best sitters we have ever hired! She kept our dogs comfortable while we were on vacation and sent me regular updates with photos. You can tell they had so much fun with her! We will definitely be scheduling with her again.”


3. Jamie S.

“Jamie is amazing! She stayed at our house and watched our 3 dogs for 4 and a half days and 3 nights while we were out of town. It was the first time we have ever left them all overnight. We all loved her when we first met and besides missing them, I never once worried about whether or not they were being well taken care of while we were away. I left a lot of notes and instructions that I was worried might have been too much, but Jamie really appreciated it. She stayed in contact with us and sent pictures too. She took excellent care of our dogs and respected our home. We would definitely hire Jamie again! In fact, I am not sure if I would ever hire anyone else unless I absolutely had to. Thank you Jamie! 😃”

About: My love for animals is why I want to help you take care of your pet while you go on vacation or work. I love the outdoors and will walk your pet and play their favorite games. I will maintain the routine that your pet is most comfortable with. Your pet will be care as if it was my own pet. I can do whatever level of service you need. I’d prefer to stay at your house to watch over your dog if you are going to be gone for multiple days, so that I don’t have to drive as much. But If all you need for me to do is to stop in and check on things for a couple days while your gone I can do that. i can take your dog for a walk during the day, feed them, check on things, water plants and take in the mail/newspaper. I am currently unemployed so i have a lot of free time on my hands. Let me know when you need me to watch/walk your dogs. I usually feed and give water to my dog 2-3 times a day. I walk my dog 1-2 times a day. He sometimes likes to play toys/fetch. Also he likes a treat in the evenings.


5. Yaren H.
About: I have two dogs myself and genuinely love to spend time with animals, it doesn’t feel like a job to me. I also have had puppies/elderly dogs before and am prepared for special needs. I have two dogs at home, both medium energied and with a good temper. I am able to provide care for the dogs all day, however all dogs must be able to be left alone for a minimum of 4 hours in case I have a doctors appointment or grocery shopping and such. If you prefer that your dog be crated during those times you will have to provide the crate. Otherwise I can dog proof my bedroom and leave them in there with water. Never will I leave a dog alone for more than 4 hours at a time. It’s my priority to make sure they are stimulated and cared for. I have housewatched/dogsat at multiple houses before and I haven’t had a bad experience so far. I respect all house rules/pet rules and keep regular contact with owners.


6. Kelli A.

“Kelli is awesome and so easy to work with. My dogs absolutely loved her. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. I will definitely rebook with Kelli for future pet sitting.”


7. Cindy R.

“Cindy did an overnight for us and she was fantastic! She reached out with questions, which we appreciated as it ensured everyone was on track and being fed as they have come to expect. Cindy also responded to my text messages. The only evidence I had she was here is the toilet seat was up. :-) Cindy left the house in fantastic condition.”


8. Cristina M.

“Our Basset hound, Posie, took an immediate liking to Cristina. We are so happy with Cristina's services. We left her for four whole days (3 nights) with Cristina. Not only did she take excellent care of our baby, she contacted us when some critters caused trouble in our garage and resolved the problems. We are extremely happy with her services. She left our house clean, our dog very happy, and was pleasant and helpful. We were especially glad that she stayed in touch with us by phone and text during our absence. She is great!”


9. Suraya B.
About: I have fostered over 20 dogs with a local rescue organization and loved every second of it. We have hosted tiny puppies as young as 6 weeks, to dogs with special needs, and seniors just needing a place to relax. As a family, we are very experienced with many breeds, personalities, and temperaments. We cry when each one gets adopted because we truly love them all so much. I work from home so aside from the occasional errand, I am here to give constant love and attention. I go for walks every morning and every evening after work. We have a big unfenced yard out in the country. My child knows to be very careful with all doors when opening. My toddler is as experienced as a toddler can be in dealing with new dogs and being respectful of space. This is not a house where ears or tails will be pulled. We will love on them as much or as little as they like (we promise to only have slight hurt feelings if they want nothing to do with us)


10. Mary B.
“Mary did an awesome job taking care of my 2 dogs. They seemed super happy and well taken care of! She consistently walked them for me and was very responsible. I recommend Mary to anyone needing someone to take care of their dogs!”


11. Kyah S.

“Communication was good however we did not receive many unprompted status updates or photos of our pets. During house sitting, was one day that our home entry logs indicated that no one stayed the evening with our pets. A few other logs were noted that indicated time spent in the home was about 2-3 minutes in the evening then returning later. Our dogs were happy to see us and appeared to be fed”


12. Michelle H.


“I don’t have enough great things to say about Michelle! Our dogs are our heart and to know they were so well taken care of was an incredible weight off our shoulders while we were gone. She sent multiple pictures each day, and we could see our senior dog relaxed and enjoying her company. She was very responsive and treated our home as if it were her home - we were very impressed and cannot wait to have her spend time with our boys again soon!”


13. Kyle S.
“Kyle is a very caring and responsible person and is great with animals. He used to walk, play with and care for his roommates dog, Louie, as if he was his own. He also helped with training when he was a puppy. I have no doubt he will be an amazing sitter!”


14. Kelly S.


“Above and beyond in every way! I could not have asked for anything more out of Kelly's stay with my dogs & chickens. We would be thrilled to have her back again in the future.”


15. Elyse D.

“Elyse did a great job with our fur babies! Our dog is reactive and Elyse handled a 'strange dog' situation well. She communicated well (she asked me to ask her for updates) with photos and updates. I look forward to having her pet sit again!”


16. Allison L.
About: I have taken care of dogs of multiple sizes and ages for around 10 years, have helped care for cats for 2 years, and have had experience with training my family's dog. I love hanging out with all types of pets, and getting to know them! I'm currently a full-time student at Calvin University pursuing a degree in Statistics and Spanish. I am free to pet sit on weekends, weekdays before and after class, and during the summer. I can stop by to walk or let out pets in the morning and in the evening of any day. I give plenty of attention to the pets, taking care of their needs and making sure they have the food, water, toys, and exercise that they need to be happy pets! I will also make sure to give them lots of personalized attention and time spent together.


17. Francisca R.

“Francisca did great with our 2 dogs and cat! She sent us picture and video updates. I would definitely recommend her!”


18. Hannah U.

“Great job!”
