“Daylin was amazing with my Jack Russel 🐶, Jack. She sat him for 2 weeks while I was away on vacation and she provided daily updates and made sure he was always well fed and happy. I highly recommend, she is trustworthy and professional.”
“Indra was phenomenal. We were out of town and Eevee had a case of severe stress colitis while we were away, but Indra handled it very well and went above and beyond what was expected of her. Her compassion shows and Eevee was so thankful for all the help she provided. She kept in touch with us through videos/text and photos so we knew out furbaby was in good hands.”

“Zakiya was great and responsive from the initial request to being accommodating with my travel. I really appreciated her empathy towards pets and their behaviors. She was good with sending photos & updates daily and put together a daily log of food times, etc. Highly recommend!”

“Brittney was great! She even came by a couple times beforehand to meet Luna. She was very sweet and friendly and knowing that our dog quickly warmed up to her says a lot! She was great with getting her out of the house on walks and spent quality time with her. We would definitely work with Brittney again!”

“Sydney was great with our 2 dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us well informed. The house was in perfect shape as well. Already have her booked for our next trip.”

About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.
“Aileen was WONDERFUL!!!! She took such good care of Louie over the weekend while I was gone. She sent me tons of updates and pictures. Will definitely be hiring her again!”

“Ruth was amazing!!! She stayed with Zeus for 8 days. He loved her. She had a lot of patience. She would always communicate with me. Friendly. You can tell she has a love for what she does. Zeus has some anxiety but with Ruth he was fine. She is the new sitter for him and we will definitely be working with her in the near future. We recommend her to any fur parents. I was so nervous but at the end it was the best decision!! Thank you!!”


About: I have been devoted to animal care for as long as I can remember. At five years old, I was already outside caring for stray cats and dogs in Macedonia. That early instinct to protect and advocate for animals shaped the direction of my life and career. I have previously worked as a veterinary assistant with over 1000 hours of veterinary experience and currently I am studying animal physiology. I am pursuing my dream on going to veterinary school. Would love to take care of your pet! I worked as a veterinary assistant at VCA Coast, where I supported medical care for both cats and dogs in a clinical setting. I am experienced with anxious, reactive, and stressed pets, and I understand how to approach them with patience and calm handling. I am also comfortable caring for senior animals and pets with additional medical needs. I am currently a student at UCLA studying animal physiology online for my veterinary school application. My schedule is open for the most part. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and providing you and your pet with an amazing experience! :) My clinical skills include nail trims, ear cleanings, and administering IV fluids. I am open to dog walking, dog and cat sitting overnight. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry from MTSU and am currently preparing my veterinary school application.

“Wyatt was an A++ sitter for our young puppy, Archie. He stepped in on late notice and was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was very communicative and updated us throughout the day with texts and photos. Archie loved him and had a great time with his new friend. We can’t recommend Wyatt highly enough!”
“When I say, Haylee is amazing. I truly mean it. She was so informative and considerate of letting me know what was going on while she was cat sitting. And I love that she sent me pictures during the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: I have a deep love for animals and enjoy capturing their adorable moments through candid photos. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets, and have encouraged me to expand my clientele of pawfect fur parents. Whether you're simply busy or on vacation, I keep owners updated and ensure your pet(s) get plenty of love and exercise every day. I'm taking time to find the right fit in my professional career, which allows for a very flexible schedule. Meanwhile, I’d love to spend more time in screen-free environments and enjoy the nice weather outside. I provide pets with my complete attention, treating them with the same love and responsibility as my own. I follow owners' instructions precisely, ensuring their pet’s safety and maintaining the home’s condition. I always keep the water bowl full, make sure potty breaks happen on time, and ensure meals, medication, or treats are given as scheduled.
About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“JoAnne was soo good with my pets! I came back to these happy pets and a clean house ♥️. Awesome feeling! My pets were very comfortable with her.. my dog needed some extra care for his ear.. she took care of him very well! I will definitely use her again! Its so hard to find loving pet sitters.”

“They were amazing taking care of my sweet girl Luna who get nervous and barks like crazy with any new people! She was over that in a minute and had the best time while we were gone! And even the cats were happy! No small feat, would definitely use you guys again! Thank you!”

Aileen is a phenomenal and trustworthy sitter. She house sat for us and took really good care of our high energy German shorthair pointer puppy and our other dog. She follows directions well and it’s clear she really cares for your pets. When we got back, the house was clean and she even washed the bedding. So happy to have had her as our sitter. We came back to chilled out pups and received pics while we were away. They had fun and enjoyed her a lot.

Tony was the absolute best! He was incredibly attentive and caring with my doggos—they loved him. He followed all of my instructions to a tee, kept me in the loop, and always responded quickly. I have an older, injured dog, and he did an amazing job caring for her. I really appreciated his clear communication and the photo updates. I would absolutely book with him again.

Iliana could not be more amazing. She took such wonderful care of our three pups while we were away. Right before her visit, one of our dogs was diagnosed with lymphoma. I was ready to cancel our trip, but Iliana assured me she had everything handled. Iliana took our dog to her vet visit, and stayed on top of all of our dogs’ medication schedules. Iliana made us feel so at ease. She could have not been a more wonderful house and pet sitter. We are so, so grateful to her!!!

Laura took such good care of my dog! When Laura left, my dog was whining and looking out the window for a while. She was very flexible, also feeding my hamster from time to time. If you're looking into boarding, Laura's dogs seem to be sweethearts and well-behaved, they were welcoming to my dog and got along very easily. Really appreciated all the cute photo & video updates too. Highly recommend!

Jasmin was FANTASTIC. She took such great care of our pup! I like receiving many updates, and she did just that - I got updates throughout the day, everyday. And our dog clearly loved her. She was great with his separation anxiety, and took wonderful care of the house. I highly recommend her - she's wonderful.
