“Elizabeth took excellent care of our cats! She even had to deal with a power outage and was a trooper thru that. Also, our one cat is afraid of thunder and she calmed her down nicely and gave her the love to get her thru it! Highly recommend!”


“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”


“A fantastic sitter who truly goes above and beyond. During a storm, a tree blocked our road, and she and her partner helped clear it—an incredibly kind and unexpected gesture. She also took the initiative to restock our dog food, which saved us a trip after a long vacation. The dogs were happy and well-cared for, and we loved the photo updates. We'll definitely be booking with her again! Both of these options highlight the incredible things Lillian did, focusing on her proactive nature and the peace of mind she gave you. They also end on a positive note that makes it easy for other dog owners to see why she's a great choice.”


“Alicia is the best! We recently moved to the area and had a pre planned trip so I was nervous leaving Rori in our new house, but Alicia made me feel so calm with lots of updates of how Rori was doing. She really goes the extra mile to ensure your pet’s happiness. So great to know we have a wonderful new pet sitter in our new home! Thanks Alicia!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—no pup too big or small! I’ve also walked cats, administered meds, brushed teeth, and provided loving care for seniors. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m experienced and happy to help. My fenced yard offers safe outdoor time, and I treat every animal like family. I currently have full availability and offer flexible, reliable care for your pets! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, daycare, and more—even same-day appointments. I do have little ones at home, so we may step out briefly for park outings, but never for long. Your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is dog/cat - friendly, with a securely fenced yard, located on a quiet, low-traffic street. I clean with pet-safe products to ensure a healthy environment. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I do my own. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

About: Growing up in the heart of the Midwest, my life has been an extraordinary journey woven with the love and care of countless pets. From the loyal companionship of dogs and the soothing purrs of cats to the curious antics of birds, rabbits, reptiles, and even farm animals, I have raised nearly every pet you can imagine. Nurturing these animals has been more than just a hobby—it's been a calling. I find an unmatched sense of connection and fulfillment in their presence, often feeling closer to animals than to people. Their trust, unique personalities, and unconditional affection inspire me daily. My passion for raising, nurturing, and spending time with animals isn’t just a part of who I am; it’s my life’s purpose. I dream of transforming this deep-seated love into my main source of income, building a career that allows me to dedicate all my time and energy to the creatures that bring me the greatest joy. I have plenty of time for your pets needs, with full availability to watch your animals & cater to their unique needs, with love & care. I am super open to watching your cat fur babies in my home. I have one dog in the home who is acquainted with cats and your cats will be kept separate at all times.

“You can definitely trust Marlie to take great care of your dog! She sends us lots of pictures and our dog always seems stress free when Marlie takes care of her! Would highly recommend!”


“Haley is an excellent sitter who truly loves and appreciates pets for the family members they are. She was able to accommodate our two dogs on short notice for house sitting. Extremely easy to work with and very professional, she will be our first choice for any future needs.”


About: I can train puppies and care for senior dogs. I have had 8 different pets all lived over 15 years old and I insist it is because they know they were well loved. I can handle huge dogs I generally work part-time. Currently home full-time. I take dogs out generally about 4 times. They will be well loved. Bring their favorite toy so I can play with them with it. They will be walked every other day health permitting. I generally prefer dogs but I do have a cat currently. I care for dogs, cats. I currently have a cat of my own. I generally like to train them as well with simple commands to make your life simpler. I am currently pursuing a certificate in dog training.

About: For the past four years, I’ve been the dedicated sitter for a family who entrusts me with their pets every time they travel. I care for both their 2 dogs (Golden Aussie and Brindle Pitbull) and 2 senior cats, handling everything from feeding and playtime to clean up and companionship. I grew up with dogs and birds, and currently have a cat of my own, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’m reliable, observant, and truly love spending time with animals—whether it’s a high-energy walk or a calm cuddle session. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I work full-time, but pet care is still a meaningful part of my routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-ins or walks in the early mornings, evenings, and some lunch hours depending on your location. I’m used to coordinating around a work schedule, and I always make time for the animals in my care—they’re never an afterthought. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for your space. I follow instructions exactly, stay in close communication, and treat your home and animals with care. Whether it's keeping up with feeding times, administering medication, or helping your pet feel less alone while you're away, I bring a calm and reliable presence to every visit.

About: Hello Hello! I’ve been caring for pets for 5 years - from energetic 10 week old puppies to 13 y/o senior dogs, (and many more in between!) - and I truly treat every animal like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to pets who need a little extra care or patience. Pet care is something I’m happy to incorporate into my routine! I’m currently in school, so I don’t have to work around a strict work schedule. I’m available for morning/ afternoon/ evening walks or visits, and I’m flexible with scheduling to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday potty break and feeding or overnight care in your home, I’d be there to help make things easy and stress-free. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and safe as possible. I’ll stick close to your pet’s usual routine- with feeding, walks, playtime, or medication- so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away! I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll be mindful of your space, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet has everything they need. Whether I’m doing a quick drop-in or staying overnight, you can count on updates and photos, so you always know how things are going!

About: I haven’t met a dog I didn’t LOVE! With every unique personality and quirks, dogs have always held a very special place in my heart as companions, hard workers, and adventure buddies. Patience and understanding are a virtue when I introduce myself to a new dog. I am a persistent, positive reinforcement driven owner who loves to have lots of fun! I would absolutely enjoy getting to know your dog and creating a special bond. I offer basic commands training, puppy training, and special needs help (one of my two dogs is blind and deaf), along with administering any medications needed. I own and operate a restaurant Wednesday afternoon through Sunday night, so my schedule is heavily leaning towards Monday and Tuesday all day availability. I am also available in the mornings every day until about 2pm. I’m a routine person, we go potty every morning around 8:30-9am, have breakfast, and go outside again for another potty. Depending on the weather, Koda and I usually go for our walk around 12pm, lasting about 30-45 minutes (unless we are hiking a nature trail). Upon return it’s time for another potty break, then a few times more every 3-4 hours until it’s time for bed. In between those breaks are lots of playing inside and outdoors with toys and training with treats or cooked meats. I have a degree in wildlife biology, and focus on bird watching. This makes me very apt to sudden changes in the environment around me. I am quick to respond, and think critically on a whim to act on which is the best and safest approach to handle a situation. In the event that is beyond my control I would contact the owner (and possibly a veterinarian) immediately and let them know that I would like to take their dog to receive professional attention. Your pet comes first and I always make sure that our walks and training sessions are positive, exciting, and safe. While I seem energetic, I also have a relaxed disposition that is quite necessary when meeting a dog for the first time. They want to know that you are a safe and comfortable human that won’t harm or agitate them. I get down on their level, offer a hand out to encourage them to interact with me first, and then reward with a treat or toy. This is usually effective with repetition, but I understand that every dog is different. Trust is earned and I am persistent!

Alexis K.
“Alexis is part of our family, figuratively. Our "fur kids" love her. Alexis has been pet/house sitting for us for over 4 years now, approximately 5-6 times a year. She has helped us have one night away and/or up to almost 10 days at a time. She is loving, compassionate, dependable, intelligent and cares for our house and family as if it were her own home/family. She often will send us pictures of her with one of the dogs or cats loving on her. Knowing that Alexis is caring for our family allows us peace of mind to enjoy our time away.”

Jennifer C.

“Jen did a great job watching Lulu. Lots of play time and it was clear that Lulu enjoyed spending the time with her.”


Ashley H.
“Ashley has a passion for animals. And that’s putting it mildly. She worked for me at a nature center for more than a year, where she took great care of our resident salamander, frog, snakes and turtles. She brought guppies from her home aquarium to have on her desk, and they each had a name! She developed a live butterfly exhibit, bringing in monarch caterpillars so that visitors could watch them transform into butterflies and help her release them into the wild. Taking care of cold-blooded animals, maintaining fish and turtle tanks, keeping hungry caterpillars in fresh food requires a lot of thoughtful effort, with no “cuddle factor” as a reward. But Ashley loved it all! Her reward was just being around them, and handling them, and watching them thrive in her care. I can’t recommend Ashley enough as a pet sitter. She has a true heart for animals!”
