“This is the second time we have had Sorona watch our baby. She is fantastic. We get lots of pictures while we are away. Diamond is right at home with her. We had a freezer fail while we were away and Sorona contacted us promptly so we could contact a relative to salvage what we could. We have already booked for later this summer. Highly recommend Sorona.”

“Ellen watched my baby for a long weekend and was extremely reliable and responsive. She took the time to ask questions and get to know my pup and the house before I left. Highly recommend for a house/dog sitter!”

“Kate was incredible with our 3 dogs! Not only did she give a quick yes to a short notice request, she provided excellent care to our dogs and an our home! Thanks Kate!”

“Rinnah was wonderful and took wonderful care of our Doggo! She went above and beyond caring for our home and doggo. We got tones of puppy pics and videos and couldn’t have asked for better communication!”

“Asa's great. He's was very professional during the meet & greet and he took really good care of my pup while I was gone. He took her on multiple walks a day, once in the morning before work, in the evening after he got off and then again before bed time. She may have gotten more excersize with him than she does with me! I have a lot of anxiety leaving my pup when I go on work trips, so his frequently photos and updates were a blessing. I was worried because my pup can get a little skittish around new people, but he kept me updated while she got to know him and became comfortable. When I got home, she was happy and healthy! I have no hesitation recommending Asa to anyone in need of a dog sitter. He's really good.”

“Izabelle was great! She clearly loves animals and seemed very comfortable caring for my older dog, which put me at ease. She communicated clearly and sent me pictures of my pup along the way. I felt safe having her watch my home as well. Would definitely work with Izzy again. :)”

About: Active dog owner, we like to get out to touch grass. She’s a sniffer and the world is her toy. Long walks in town or out on trails. Work a week on, a week off in healthcare. Like to take my dog out on long walks through town, in a new park, or out on a trails I have a 4 yr old rescue dog myself. We’ve been traveling in healthcare for over a year. She’s crate trained but hardly needed, she’s chill during my work days on a couch and she’s quiet.
“Scott did a fantastic job taking care of our four legged furry children! He was very attentive to their needs and asked questions to make his stay with them just like us still being home! It's a difficult decision to leave your home to somebody and the care of your family pets but Scott kept us posted on his stay and sent pictures of our pets laid back and relaxed! He even taught our one pet to "Drop it. Very appreciative of that. I would highly recommend Scott to take care of your family pets and their needs.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a variety of pets. Growing up with a Labrador, a Golden Retriever, a Great Dane-Pit Bull-Rottweiler mix, and three cats, I’ve learned to understand the needs of both big and small dogs, as well as cats. I’m responsible, perceptive, and dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s playtime with your pup or snuggles with your cat, I’m here to give your pets the best care while you’re away! I am currently working a part time job, and it’s all on my own time. Leaving me plenty of time to care for your loved one! I currently live in an apartment, rendering me unable to bring pets over and care for them in my own home. I do not offer this service.
“Sharika was amazing with Yuna. She is super kind, friendly and sweet. It didn’t take long for Yuna to warm up to her and want all her attention for the night. Before meeting Yuna Sharika asked several questions about Yuna to make sure she knew everything she needed to know about her. This really reassured me and made me feel very comfortable leaving her with Sharika. She kept open communication with me the whole night so I didn’t ever feel worried about Yuna. I will definitely be rebooking Sharika in the future P.s. Sharika even walked Yuna in the morning while she waited for me to come back and I didn’t even ask her too. She is a lovely girl and I highly recommend her ❤️❤️”

About: My name is Aubrie. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. I live in an apartment with the dog park on my same floor, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pet! He is very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys.
“Joshua was super kind with our special needs senior and very understanding of his needs. Charger looked happy and content and was full of pep when we came home- everything we could ask for!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5. I work from home, so I will be around to give your pets all of the love, attention, and cuddles they deserve. I work remotely, so I am around and available throughout the day everyday. I go for hikes or runs everyday, and I'd love to bring your pup with me! I have a fenced-in yard so that your pup will stay safe and get plenty of outdoor playtime! There are no other pets in the house.
About: *ALLERGIC TO CATS* Dog inquiries only please. I have been house/dog sitting for clients and friends since 2013. A goal is to own a labradoodle one day. Until that day, I will love on other peoples’ dogs! (: I have had experience with administering medications and providing quality care to many dogs! Lots of people have relied on me to take care of their pets. I would like to expand my network further! Please reach out with any inquiries. (: I am available to take care of the pet Monday through Thursday 12am-11pm. I am currently taking classes during the midweek. My work schedules is Friday through Sunday from 7am-7pm. So I will be busy every weekend, but I can take care of the pet after I’m done with work! My landlord does not allow pets in my home. So I wouldn’t be able to take care of the pet where I’m living. Therefore, my only services include me going to your home to either housesit or drop in to take the pet on a walk.
