“Trisha was amazing with our doggies. We have a senior and puppy and she was so attentive to both their needs given their very different energy levels. We can’t wait to have her back. Also, worth noting is that she was punctual, responsive to chats, and gave very detailed notes regarding each visit. I felt at ease knowing we had a trustworthy person in our home caring for our dogs. (Thanks so much, Trisha. You were great! 💖)”

About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.
About: I have always been drawn to the unique personalities and loyalty of our furry friends, and my passion for understanding their behavior has led me to pursue a studies and certifications in dog psychology. As a certified dog psychologist, I have undergone extensive training in canine behavior and have gained a deep understanding of the complex dynamics between dogs and their owners. I believe that every dog is unique and deserves a customized approach to their training and behavior modification. My goal as a dog psychologist is to help pet owners and their beloved dogs live harmoniously together by addressing behavioral issues, building strong bonds, and promoting positive reinforcement. I am committed to providing the highest level of care and support to both dogs and their owners. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since my childhood. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to train, walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have great and deep experience of dealing with any size and breed of dogs. I find such spiritual peace and divine feeling to be with these furry creatures and love to spend time with them. I have been serving as a volunteer at local dog shelters as well. Its always nice to be around these pure souls and give them maximum love and care. I can make them a part of my routine and it's always fun to have them around and ensure they are happy, calm and engaged productively. I love to take long walks, play, and make them learn new things in a fun way. I always plan my day in an organized way to ensure the furry buddy is getting appropriate time for meals, training, play, rest, breaks and be merry. Its always fun to bond with them in a calm way to make them embed in your routines. So it comes so naturally and automatically that we spend a happy day and time just fly. With my vast dog handling experience, I always ensure safety, security and health of our four legged babies. I have seen all the scenarios and always apply prevention, intervention and correction approaches for making the babies well behaved and happy. I am a trained dog behaviorist and psychologist as well, that helps me to predict and sense any specific needs of our furry friends and ensure everything is proactively taken care.

About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“Wendy was able to provide care for our 2 dogs and 1 shy cat in our home recently. We are grateful for her diligent work with our fur babies! I won't be worried about them on our next vacation, because I know Wendy will be caring for them as we would. Thank you, Wendy!”

“We had such a great experience with Deborah! From the start, it was clear she really gets German Shepherds—and Maple absolutely loved her. You can tell from the photos that Maple was happy, well cared for, and had clearly been running around getting all her wiggles out. It’s wonderful to find someone who connects so naturally with our baby girl. So grateful to have found Deborah and already looking forward to our next visit!”


“Thanks for taking such great care of my kitty cat! I'm hoping Bodhi didn't leave too many "messes" for you? :) Your efforts are always greatly appreciated, Tracey. Thanks again!”

If I have a dog, there’s that refreshing morning walk — a chance for both of us to stretch our legs and breathe in the day ahead.

I take pet care seriously and always treat animals with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. In my daily routine, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. I stick to feeding schedules, provide plenty of fresh water, and keep their living areas clean and tidy.
“Lisa is amazing! She bonded with Korra with their first meet up and will always give you details when she’s there, update you with pictures and make sure she tires them out before leaving. I highly recommend Lisa if anyone is looking for a sitter!”

I’m writing this review to help others who are looking for the perfect person to watch their precious fur babies. Like many of you, my pets are incredibly important to me. I have three indoor cats, including Luna, my “scaredy-cat” princess, who usually only likes my wife and I. My biggest worry was that Luna would be too terrified to eat while we were away. This is my first time using a pet-sitting app. I chose Trisha because she lives nearby, has cats of her own, and had great feedback. We had a wonderful meet-and-greet where she was punctual, attentive, and showed a genuine love for animals. Because our vacation was a month and a half away, I asked her to come over one more time right before we left to review the routine. She happily agreed, which really put my mind at ease. Trisha visited twice a day for one hour over seven days. She was incredibly reliable never missed a visit and sent daily reports with pictures. While Luna spent most of the time under the bed, Trisha used different feeding tactics to make sure she ate. By the end of the week, Luna actually came out of hiding for photos-which is huge for her! When we returned, the house was immaculate. The litter boxes were clean, and the floors were perfectly vacuumed of any tract litter. I am so relieved, and will definitely be using Trisha for all our future Pet setting needs!

My doggies LOVED Debbie! And if the doggies are happy, then I'm happy. Debbie clearly knows her way around challenging dogs. Mine could pull a freight train (individually and collectively), but Debbie handled it with ease. I would definitely use Debbie's services again if and when the need arises.

I can’t recommend Lisa enough! She watched my dog for 2 weeks and did daily drop-in visits while I was at work. She made sure he was well taken care of—taking him on walks, feeding him, and always keeping his water full. I came home to a happy, healthy pup every day. She even got him a pup cup! Lisa was reliable, caring, and treated my dog like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter. 🐾
