“Annie showed up for a meet and greet with a clipboard and lots of questions. I really appreciated her attention to details. I also really liked how she interacted with Kenai. She’s very quick to respond, and also asked about taking my pup somewhere indoors to walk when we were in a really bad heat wave. I plan to reach out to Annie to hire her again. Thank you Annie!!”
“Katrina has been so wonderful to us. Ben loves having her company & we love the peace of mind of having her home with him when we're away. As usual, she's very reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we'll continue to use her services.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Carey. She house sat for us and took the BEST care of our dog Lily. She sent many, many pictures and videos of our Lily and it made us so happy to see our puppy dog was having such a fun time while we were away. I will definitely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years, with 10+ years dedicated specifically to dogs. From tiny Chihuahuas to large, strong German Shepherds, I’ve worked with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I’m also a lifelong cat owner and have cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, from playful and social to shy and reserved. I understand that each pet is unique, with their own quirks, needs, and routines, and I make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. Animals seem to sense my genuine affection right away, and most warm up to me quickly. I bring calm yet positive energy that helps even timid pets feel at ease. I treat every pet like my own, offering attentive, protective, and responsible care. Whether it’s providing enriching playtime, keeping up with special diets, or just offering extra cuddles, I go above and beyond to make sure your furry family member feels happy and secure while you’re away. As a music teacher, I currently work only three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to devote to pet care. From Wednesday through Saturday, I have ample time and energy to focus on your pet’s needs whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. My schedule allows me to give your furry friend the attention, consistency, and care they deserve. I primarily provide care in my client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and feel most comfortable. This helps reduce stress and maintain their normal routines. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to playtime and exercise, and always give extra love and attention. In certain cases, I can also care for pets in my own home, especially small dogs or cats. In my home, they will have a safe, clean, and comfortable space, along with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment.
“Itzeel was great! She gave us updates and photos daily of both of our babies! She left our home in great condition and would definitely ask her back the next time we are out of town. Thanks Itzeel!”
“Elizabeth was great with Bo.She also made sure we had updates on how he was doing while we were away. We love having her take care of our boy if she’s available . We would recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting services !”
About: I care for both puppies and senior dogs. I grew up with dogs and turtles and fishes, and I truly believe they are humans best friends. Dogs truly deserve the best in the world. I am a part time Disney cast member and a full time student. My schedule for work is quite flexible so I can make it work with walking dogs and watching my family’s pets while they are away. I offer walks and drop in visits to keep your puppy entertained and give them company. I also include fun activities during my visits and walks to keep them busy and get those zoomies out:).
About: I’ve been involved in fostering rescue dogs for the past 8 years and caring for my family’s own dog we adopted through fostering. I have experience with medical needs and senior dogs. I am a student, which gives me flexible hours during the week! Most days I finish classes around noon, giving me the opportunity to offer care from the early afternoon to evenings. I treat and care for all pets like they are my own! I love spending time with dogs and cats and are always ready to provide excellent care.
About: Hi! I’m Hannah and I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Since I was just a kid I’ve walked my dogs and my neighbors dogs on the daily. I’m accustomed to all sizes and have taken care of dogs from the size of a little terroir to a huge German Shepard. My soul dog was the cutest husky German Shepard mix that passed away in 2025 and he had awoken my great love for dogs. I’m active and love taking dogs out for adventures, runs, and very long walks. Some of my experience on the more special side include puppy care, disabled dogs, and senior dogs, fish, and cats. I’m comfortable with it all! I think all animals are special and deserve the most love :) I work part time as a nanny for two families so my schedule can be flexible :) I have most weekends available and lots of random hours available during the week. I care for your pets as if they were mine. I give lots of love and cuddles and make sure their needs are seen and met. I’ll follow by all the rules you place and be there for your pets safety and friend.
“Lauren, did a great job caring for our puppy Gunner, old grumpy dog Jack and our house while we were away. Both dogs being at very different life stages required specific needs and she cared for each wonderfully. She communicated regularly with photos and messages and left our dogs tired and happy and our house spotless. Definitely recommend Lauren to house/and or dog sit!”
“Our first time with Emily staying in our home and taking care of our pets. She is very respectful of our space, took wonderful care of our pets, and was very communicative. Our pets adore her! ❤️”
About: Welcome fur parents! I invite all new clients to use code VANESC07813 for $20 off your first service with me! A little about me: I love animals, bugs, and all things nature! I am a fur-mom to two indoor cats and an angel doggy. I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals (like rats and hamsters)! I believe that pets are family, and as a fur momma myself, I understand how important it is to find someone that you can trust to provide care for your fur babies. Thank you for your consideration, and if l you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you have any questions or need a special accommodation for your fur baby, please let me know and I will try my best to meet your needs! Planning a vacation? Need someone to walk your dog while you’re at work? I got you covered! I provide daily walks, drop in visits, and house sitting.
About: I’m attentive to body language and early signs of stress. My goal is not to watch your dog it’s to make sure they feel safe and well taken care of in your absence. I take communication seriously and always send regular photo and text updates. Safety is another thing that is important to me I always make sure leashes and gates are properly secured. I always double check feeding and medication instructions. Also I’m always willing to do whatever you think your babies need. I’m currently self employed and have plenty of free time to look after your pets. Day or night it does not matter I am available. In my clients home I currently don’t have to room at my home to look after your pets there. I have a bigger vehicle so I can take your pets to a dog park or even to vet appointments if needed. I have a dog of my own so if your pet is friendly they can have a play date. I’m a responsible detail oriented house and pet sitter who treats every home and animal as if they were my own.
About: My availability is pretty open! I have classes Tuesday/ Thursday until 1145 and other than that I am available!! I would love to spend time and care for your pet :) At 9 years old is when I basically raised my first dog all on my own! He taught me so much and I truly learned my love for animals from him. I’ve had , dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters. I really love pets! I’m very attentive and alert when caring for pets. I know how serious it can be when something is just a little off it could always lead to bigger problems
“Hi Kelsey Thank you again for looking after Koo and Boo. I know the boys are safe and happy when you are watching over them. We will be calling you again very soon.”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Gabby. She took care of my husky and cat for two weeks. She updated me with pictures daily and I could see that both of my pets were happy and well taken care of. She’s an excellent communicator and genuinely cares about animals. She left the house spotless upon my return. I will definitely be booking her in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog or cat sitter. Thank you so much, Gabby.”
“Jane was fantastic with watching our reactive pup for 3 nights, and was awesome at communicating throughout the stay! She even tidied up kitchen and restroom, which was much more than we asked for. Thank you so much, Jane!”
“Christine is truly amazing!!! I booked her last minute and she was able to accommodate my schedule request. Her flexibility made it easy to meet my needs. Christine was very respectful in my home. She was also extremely attentive to my two babies. She treated them like her own. Her friendly energy made it easy for my babies to warm up to her right away. She communicated with me throughout her stay and provided updates that made me feel more comfortable. She is very professional and polite. I got so lucky I found her. I will definitely be booking with her again. She is reliable. I Highly recommend her. She is the best sitter! I was very pleased with her services.”

Dawn hit it off with our moderately shy kitties almost immediately and it was no surprise when they quickly adopted her as their new cuddle-buddy. Dawn also took great care of our cockatiel and koi fish, and sent lots of updates with photos during her stay. We are so glad to have found her!
Cassaundra was absolutely wonderful. She kept me updated with photos while we were gone and made sure our animals were loved and cared for. She also went the extra mile and cleaned our house which looked even better than when we left it! Will definitely book her again to house sit when we’re out of town.
Bryce was great with my dog Millie, he was punctual and it was super nice that I didn’t have to worry about her, especially since it was a last minute booking. I’ve used him for a maternity photo shoot with a previous dog I’ve had & he was able to capture the best photos. Would highly recommend for dog sitting or pet photography
elizabeth is the absolute best!!!! our dogs are literally our babies and she took such amazing care of them (and our home!) while we went away for vacation! i could not recommend her enough! we will be using her for alllll our dog sitting needs in the future! ps she is also the best communicator and sends lots of pics too! she is just the best!
Christian was a phenomenal dog-sitter! He made sure to provide updates of the service everyday. I greatly appreciated his communication style - Especially while my husband and I were out of town. He also made sure to inform us of any incidents while we were away. I felt so at ease while on vacation, and it’s all thanks to Christian. Overall, our family would love to book him again (if he’d have us, of course!). Thank you, again for taking care of our fur-son. <3
Sarah was amazing with Koji! At the very beginning, in our meet and greet, he was all over her. He is an Akita, and not usually overtly friendly, so that was really comforting. Sarah came in with such confidence and kindness with him, and she was so kind to keep our house neat and clean for when we returned. We are so grateful!
