“Rachael is amazing! This was the first time having someone other than family watching our Great Danes while we went on vacation. We got constant updates and our dogs had the best time!”


“Morgan was great at communicating and sending photos on how her stay was going with our dog, Boston. We were able to relax knowing Boston was in great hands while we were hours away.”


“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Jackson provided for our dog, Ella, while we were away. He sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear from the pictures that Ella was happy and comfortable in his care. Ella had a dry nose issue that required daily attention with a special cream, and when we returned, her nose was almost completely healed — a true sign of how attentive Jackson was. On top of caring for Ella, he also took great care of our home, which we found clean and spotless upon our return. It’s clear Jackson genuinely cared about our dog and we felt completely confident leaving Ella in his hands. We would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”

She was polite and kind- she left our house in immaculate condition when she left. We were such at ease during our trip as she made sure to Give us updates and pictures!

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.

“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”


About: I’ve worked in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant and kennel assistant in multiple different offices and shelters for ten years. I also have owned numerous dogs and cats in my lifetime. I have experience with diabetic cats and dogs, and administering medication. There is no dog i cannot medicate when he needs them! I’m a stay at home mom of 1 with two dogs and one cat, so I’m always available. Rain or shine, day or night, I can always pop in on Fido or Fluffy! Unless otherwise discussed with the pet parent, my usual rounds would include cleaning and refilling the water bowl at every visit, feeding at the agreed upon times, bathroom breaks upon my arrival and departure, regardless of the length of my stay, and plenty of loves and scritches for your four legged best friend!


About: I grew up with dogs in my childhood home the entire time living there. I have taken care of small five pound dogs to a large dog like the newfoundland and a great pyrenees. I currently have a Bernese Mountain Dog who loves others! She gets along with all dogs, small or large. Shes just a playful pup :) I am willing to take care of your dog just as well as I take care of mine! My availability will be based off yours :) I’m self employed so my availability will be off yours. 🙂 We do daily walks, lots of outside time. My pups love chasing after a cat laser toy in the house and outside in the evenings. I live in a Duplex with our own yard. It’s not fenced completely. It is a partial fence, but I do have dog tie outs. I’m outside with them the entire time. Plenty of dog toys, balls and room to roam.

“Trinity kept up fully up to date with pictures and took such great care of our fur baby! Gave extra snuggles when our puppers got anxious after we had been gone for a few days but in every picture Rora looked relaxed and happy!”


About: Dog Lover by Nature, Technician by Trade 🐾💼 Hi! I’m a full-time Piping and Instrumentation Technician at an oil refinery — but my real full-time job is being a proud dog mom to two fluffy Samoyeds who run the house (and my heart). 🐶❄️ When I’m not checking valves and calibrating instruments, I’m happiest covered in dog fur and surrounded by wagging tails. I clock out at 4:30 PM and go straight into dog mode — ready for walks, belly rubs, and all the ear scratches your pup can handle! Weekends and evenings are when I turn my passion for animals into something I can share. Whether your dog needs a stroll, a snuggle, or a buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let me love your dog like I love mine — enthusiastically, responsibly, and with a pocket full of treats. 🐾❤️ • Weekdays: Available after 4:30 PM (Monday–Friday) — perfect for evening walks, cuddles, and dinner-time drop-ins. • Weekends: Full availability (Saturday & Sunday) for all your pet care needs, big or small. How I Care for My Own (Very Spoiled) Pups 🐶💅 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am! At home, I’ve got two fluffy Samoyeds who rule the roost, and I treat them like the royal (and slightly dramatic) snow dogs they are. I’m big on reading body language—every tail flick and side-eye tells a story. I always let the dog come to me first, especially when I’m in their space. It’s their territory, and I fully respect that! My pups eat like allergy-conscious kings: red meat-free kibble (sensitive tummies!), a splash of wet food for excitement, and daily vitamins to keep their coats shiny and their energy high. They get fed twice a day—7:00 AM sharp and 4:30 PM, just like clockwork. I make sure they get out for potty breaks at least 3–4 times a day, and I’m borderline obsessed with checking their water bowls (fluff equals thirst, especially in warm weather). Before I ever leave the house, I always do a quick scan to make sure there’s nothing they can chew, eat, knock over, or mysteriously destroy while I’m gone. Safety first! When I’m caring for someone else’s fur baby, I go by your rules and routines—but I treat them like my own: with love, patience, and the kind of care you’d expect for a four-legged child (because… they are).

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

“Rachel is great with my small breed 10 week old pup. She sends updates per visit and she is very responsive. I am a rather structured new puppy mom and Rachel does well with the instructions I leave and is flexible with the adjustments we’ve made. Would definitely recommend.”

Your fur babies will receive allll the love & attention from me! Whether they enjoy walks, playing fetch outside, or laying around inside, I am up for it!

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 11-12 years old until I was 16 and then she sadly passed away and we got a new dog and I’ve been taking care of her for 3 years. I also have experience taking care of cats I absolutely love cats. And I have experience taking care of rabbits I currently have one I take care of a rabbit and a large dog all the time. I know both need lots of love and lots of play time and attention I will listen to your pets. When they need to go out, when they need to eat, when they want to play, or cuddle. In my home I will make sure they have food and water and I will make sure they go out every 2 hours or so. If they are a larger dog they can play with my puppy she absolutely loves to play. I will also take them for a walk. At the clients home it will be the same and if I can take their animal to the dog park I will do so and let them play I know they also love playing with other animals and not always just with humans

About: I’ve been with animals since a baby. My parents always had a bunch of animals and dogs were a big part of my life. Once I turned 18 I’ve added a bunch to my own little family. I have two dogs who travel with us and enjoy the outdoors so much. I also have many reptiles, small creatures, and two cats. I completely love the affection and bond created with animals. My fiancé works full time while I stay at home. I’m currently doing at home projects and with being at home am able to have lots of time to spend with my animals and help others. I have two very friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. Along with that I have two cats and many reptiles. All animals are like family and I wouldn’t want anything happening to them.

Muhammed K.
“I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!”

Philip O.
“Philip took excellent care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were away on a week long vacation. He spent lots of quality time with all the animals and made sure they were all fed and well cared for. He sent us daily pictures of the pets. He administered our cat’s medication twice a day. He also watched the house, took out the trash and watered all our plants, I 100% recommend Philip and plan on using him every time we go out of town.”

Julia N.
“Julia is a caring, responsible, and loving person especially with animals. I see how she is with her own dogs and would trust her with mine any day. She watched her neighbors dog for a week this year & went above and beyond, she showed us videos of her helping crate train the dog since the owner warned her that the dog gets aggressive when you get near it while it’s in there. She is such an animal lover and can help the dog in many more ways”


Kelsey B.
“Kelsey has watched my cat Luna and my dog Lollipop on several occasions. Lolli is an extremely active dog who needs to be walked multiple times per day and requires lots of play time. Kelsey does an amazing job making sure these needs are met. Luna is a grouch who refuses to poop in the litter-box and has a biting problem, but this doesn't phase Kelsey! She is truly a rock star and my first choice for all my pet watching needs.”
