Leah was an absolute lifesaver! After struggling to find a responsive sitter, Leah answered our call immediately. I was a bit nervous because our dog, Ava, can be skittish and barky with new people, but Leah handled the meet-and-greet perfectly and asked great questions. Despite Ava not making the best first impression, Leah wasn't hesitant at all and accepted the booking. Within just three hours of the stay starting, Leah and Ava were already friends! Leah is a great communicator, met all our dogs' needs, and was incredibly respectful of our home. We felt completely at ease during our trip. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her!

We were very pleased with using Tammy for the first time with the two beardies at our home over the weekend. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her after meeting her and her careful attention to the details of taking care of them. We could tell they were pleased, unstressed and happy with her stay. We would not hesitate to use her again and refer her to friends! She took great care with our house as well

Michelle is the absolute BEST! She took at-home-care of my Boston Finnley for 6 days while I was in cali and my baby absolutely loved her!! From the moment they met it was kisses and happiness !! Frequently she sent me updates and pictures, keeping me involved in their daily adventures! I felt at ease knowing he was well taken care of while I was gone, having loads of fun, walking, playing, and having a companion there in his own surroundings . It was obvious that she truly cares about our pets and that it goes beyond just fulfilling a job . I was lucky to have found her and couldn’t have had a better fit for my pup. We look forward to our next pet sitting with Michelle and thank her for being such a wonderful human being ❤️❤️❤️

About: I am a dog mom through and through! Growing up in the country we had many dogs of all breeds I enjoyed. Now I am the proud mom to two mini dachshunds who love to hike and nap with me. I have watched many friends dogs and cats throughout the last couple years. Connecting with new animals brings me happiness plus I know how hard it is to find a trusted pet sitter for your animals. I want to be the best fit for your fur babies so let's connect! I am available part time for pet sitting. Weekends are more open than week days at this moment. I will only accept work I can fully dedicate my time and energy to. I always provide the safest transportation if needed. I carry dog treats, water, poop bags, and leash with me in my SUV. Plenty of room for a dog of any size. When visiting your home I will respect your privacy and home. I promise to leave all areas as clean as they were when I arrived. I will always double check locks, doors and the animals needs before exiting.

Kari and Clint are five star house/greenhouse/dog/chicken/hummingbird sitters! All of my creatures and plants were well cared for! I received daily messages reassuring me that all was well. Returned from vacation to a cleaned home. They are the BEST.

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and gained hands on experience working in a professional dog hotel and daycare environment. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities - from Great Danes & Pit bulls to small breeds like Chihuahuas. I understand canine behavior, safety, and routine, and I strive to make every fur baby feel comfortable, secure and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, drop ins, or overnight care, I provide dependable service, consistent communication, and plenty of photo updates for peace of mind. Animals are truly my passion, and I'm currently working towards building a long-term career in animal care. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own & I look forward to meeting your family furry baby. I currently have complete open availability for daytime & evening daily and accept short - notice bookings. Calendar for 2026 is officially back open!! I'm returning full-time & super excited to meet some new fur babies as well as returning fur babies. I'm extremely flexible,reliable and available for full- time animal care. I'm available every day Monday - Friday. Morning to evening. I work around my client's schedule to make life a lot easier for you. I respect clients homes, maintain a clean environment and ensure doors, gates, and fur babies are always safety secured. My goal is to create a calm, stress- free experience. Your fur babies safety and comfort will be my top priority. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines exactly as requested. During walks & home visits, I'll use secure leashing practices and remain aware of surroundings with frequent photo updates for pet owners peace of mind.

I highly recommend Ariana for dog and cat sitting! Ariana took excellent and loving care of my two dogs and one cat. My 14 year old Brittany is lively and doesn’t always make it to outside. Ariana took great care of her and changed diapers. My four year old Puggle and nine year old cat are afraid of new people. But with just a few treats, they were eating out of Ariana’’s hand and wagging their tails! My pups & cat had a great time with Ariana, and my house was even cleaner than when I left for the weekend. I will be asking Ariana to watch my fur babies again and again! Thank you Ariana, I can start going on vacations again!!!
