“Abby was so great with our dogs! I could tell how much they enjoyed her staying with them. She made sure they were exercised and cared for! Would recommend her to anyone! We’ve already booked her for more care days!”
“Holly is outstanding and I highly recommend. This was the first time our dog stayed with a pet sitter and he was so happy. Holly was very loving to him.”
“We are so lucky to have found Rita! She was attentive and caring with our three Pitties and went above and beyond by comforting them during a thunderstorm and keeping us posted pictures and updates about the dogs. We will definitely use her again!”
“Emily was great with our dog and our very shy cat even warmed up to her! She kept us informed and up to date with photos. We felt comfortable the whole time we were away.”
About: I have cared for birds, fish, cats & canines since a very young age. My home has never been without pets! I have stayed up nights to syringe feed rescue kittens to caring for special needs dogs. One of my Aunts is a vet who owns her own large and small animal practice. She has taught me quite a lot when it comes to caring for animals and have even gone on service rounds with her. I am very level headed in cases of emergencies and can think fast to get issues resolved. I love taking care of special needs pets! Administering medications or accommodating to their requirements are not a problem. I am also well versed in handling temperamental animals, even ones with aggression issues. I presently have a full time job, however I am available evenings & weekends. I will open up the rest of my schedule in the near future as I am transitioning to full-time pet care. Whatever your needs are, your instructions will be followed to the letter. I have experience with a wide variety of temperaments in animals. Their safety is my top concern.
“Lacy did an excellent job of caring for our two dogs while we were away on Christmas day. Came for a meet and greet prior to booking and all went well. One of our dogs is not super friendly and can be difficult at times. Stacy seemed to get along well with both. Will definitely use her again”
“Sebra was amazing with my kitten! I wasn't expecting to have to leave him at such a young age, but Sebra took beautiful care of him and sent photos frequently which was very reassuring and put my mind at ease. She was also great at communicating, which makes all the difference. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: For as long as I can remember I’ve had dogs in my life. From bottle feeding pups when momma couldn't nurse, to senior dogs, to dogs that need medication regularly, to dogs with terminal illnesses, and any stay cat that finds me! I’ve experienced quite a broad spectrum of pet care needs and circumstances. I’ve learned so many things along the way that have helped me be a great pet parent! I’m also a licensed nurse and can use my skills to evaluate and treat when necessary. There is nothing like the unconditional love and affection from an animal. <3 I have a remote job position that allows me to move around and work too. I just became a Grandmother and will keeping my grandson a couple days a week. I have 3 big dogs at home that are crate trained giving me flexibility. I have a small business too. So my hope is to eventually leave my current position and do more of what I enjoy-Which are dogs/cats/chickens, crafts and love on my grandson! Our dogs are not just pets, they are our family. We have a large fenced yard and they have their own area with lots of toys where they can be safe playing and enjoy outside time. They are always supervised during play time. I prefer to care for pets in their own space where they are most comfortable and everything is familiar to them. I can adapt to other surroundings without issue.
“Onnelle was the perfect dog sitter in our home while we were away for a beach vacation. Onnelle communicated openly, took great care of our fur baby, followed our instructions and left our house just the way she found it. I will definitely book with Onnelle again in the future!”
About: I grew up with multiple different dogs, all different breeds. I am used to dogs all sizes and have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. I also work at a dog daycare on Wednesdays. I am currently in college at Duquesne University, and I am looking to find more experience in different career fields. I have classes in the morning, and they usually end around 1p.m. I will be available to sleep over or just to work during the afternoons and between classes. Whatever you need! Currently, I am living on campus and am not allowed to have a pet of my own. Working at the doggy daycare, I feed the pets as well as give them plenty of attention, clean up after them, walk them, and anything else you would need from me. I do carefully read diets and am careful to not over/ under feed your pet!
“Thank you Leilani for keeping my furbabies company while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks again. Will be looking for you again when we plan our next vacation.”
“Very reliable. No issues at all.”
“Dustin did a fabulous job with my cat and dog! Friendly and professional. Would rebook!”
About: Hello! My name is Marissa and I’m 33 years old. I’m a licensed massage therapist wanting to earn money on the side pet sitting. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I’m trustworthy and want to provide an excellent experience for your pet while you’re away. I currently work part time as a massage therapist and my schedule is very flexible. I’m usually off by 3 on the days I work. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to bring pets to my house to care for them but I’m more than willing to come over and care for them there. I can provide meals, snuggles, playtime, and walks!
“This was the first time hiring Melisha for a multiple day/night stay, and we’re checking the calendar to figure out when to hire her next. Updates and pictures provided regularly. The 2 dogs and cat couldn’t have been in more capable hands. Even with a bit of a ruckus with the 2 huskies hanging up on the poor cat, Melisha was calm, cool and collected. I can’t come up with more words of praise for all that she did in the care of our 3 pets. She’s going to be tired of seeing our name pop up in her notifications. :)”
“Kayla was absolutely wonderful with all of our animals while we were away for a long weekend. All the animals (and we have a lot!) immediately loved her and we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home while we were gone. She was great about asking detailed questions before we left, and regularly checked in and sent photos/videos of our babies while we were away. I'm pretty sure our house was cleaner than we left it when we got home! I've already asked Kayla to be our go-to house sitter when we go away in the future - and our animals will be so happy to see her again!”
“Did a great job of watching our house and doggies. Quick communication and flexibility with our unexpected flight changes.”
“I found Andrea to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She is very caring and loved playing with my Nigel. I would highly recommend her for to care for your fur babies!”
About: in the last 7 years I have begun dog sitting for friends and family as well as caring for rescue horses, cat sitting, and even bunny sitting! I also have some experience with crested geckos and axolotyls, and am always looking to add more critters to my list! I work a part time restaurant gig that usually is between 4 and 5 hours a day, the time of day varies. They are great at working around my schedule and I’m great and working around them as well! I am very flexible with scheduling and am more than happy to take last minute requests I am very respectful of your space and your pet routines! Whatever you need, and whatever makes you and your pets most comfortable will be what I do!
“Cortney was absolutely the best pet sitter/dog sitter we’ve ever hired. She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were comfortable while we were away. She was understanding about our cats special needs and had no trouble giving our dog Hiccup his pill every day. Cortney was very communicative with us about how our pets were doing and provided daily updates. She and her fiancé Dustin both went out of their way to spend quality time with all our pets. They even watered our plants for us :) They left our house cleaner than we left it. I would highly recommend booking Cortney for any pet sitting needs!”

8. Cari M.
“Hello, and thank you for the opportunity to share a little bit about my friend, Cari. I have known Cari for 29 years, and during that time, her biggest passion—besides her children—has been her animals, ranging from horses to dogs and cats. For over 15 years, Cari has been a dedicated supporter of the SPCA, where she has organized many fundraisers to help animals in need. Cari and her husband, Sam, have always chosen to adopt their pets or take in strays that happen to find their way to their garage. Over the years, they have welcomed many into their family and have comforted those pets as they took their last breaths. Cari prepares her dog food to ensure her pets receive the best nutrition. Unsurprisingly, she is a proud Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who chose the nursing field to help and care for patients. Without hesitation, I trust Cari entirely with my children, grandchildren, and pets. She would be a valuable asset to your organization.”
