“Brianna has been a great sitter both times she has cared for my little girl. She responded quickly whenever I checked in with her. She asked questions if she had any concerns or needed more information. I came back twice to a clean home and a happy dog. I certainly recommend her sitting services.”


About: My family owned a pet store in the 80s & 90s. I have experience with cats, dogs, small animals, reptiles, fresh and salt water fish. I am experienced and comfortable medicating pets, ointments, pills, liquid meds, and injectable medications such as insulin. I am currently working part-time. My schedule is very flexible. I am also available to take your pet to your preferred vet if necessary. I will work with each client on an individual basis to meet your pet's needs I understand the importance of maintaining routines. I will always treat a client's home and pets as if they were my own. I will clean up any mess that I may create. I will monitor your pets and provide you with detailed information about any concerning behavior

About: I’ve taken care of an array of dogs since I was a child. Calm, engaged, and fun dog mom. Teacher full time needing a summer gig. I currently work full time as a middle school teacher. I want something to fill my time over the summer. What better way to do it than with animals? My current dog care happens in the morning and afternoon/evening. I currently have open availability aside from a few pre-planned activities. I have a large unfenced yard. I have an older spayed female chipoo that is friendly with other dogs. She is on a set routine which includes going outside multiple times a day, meals twice a day, play time, plus more. I regularly clean the bottom, paws, face, etc. to ensure things are always fresh and clean.

About: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I usually work the weekends from 8-4pm, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. During the week I can stop by and check or walk your pet in the morning or afternoon. Wed-Sun I can watch/walk them at night as well. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.

About: I’ve had pets of all sorts in my home since I was roughly 12-13 so any pet is home here 🥰 I’d be more than happy to answer any questions. Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is take care of my fur babies 😂 as ridiculous as that may sound I love them more than life so they’re my priority This is a very broad question and I feel like I could answer it in many different ways but if you as a customer have any questions about the safety of your fur baby, I’m more than happy to answer.

“So grateful for Ella! She petsit for our 2 dogs for four days and they loved it over boarding! Very responsive, warm and understanding of their needs. Would absolutely book again in the future.”


About: I have been involved in pet sitting and emergency animal rescue for 15 years. I also know animal CPR. YOUR RULES MY LOVE it's Great I am retired so any schedule works for me.

My weekends are open when not traveling My apartment has a dog park and long walking trail that connects to it, so I am happy to do lots of enrichment time and walking.

“I needed to go out of town for a work trip for a week and I was looking for a place to board my husky named Loki. He is seizure prone, requires close observation and monitoring, takes medication twice a day and is also a very picky eater, so feeding can be a challenge I checked with a sitter that I had previously used but she was all booked up. She recommended that I try in home sitting, which I was really reluctant to do. However, Hailey reached out to me through a phone conversation and explained to me the process, reassuring me that in home sitting was going to be the way to go and she was the perfect fit for the job! The morning of her arrival, Loki started showing signs of an incoming seizure. He got through it but then I was really nervous about leaving him in her care. We talked about it for a bit and she reassured me that everything would be ok. She had me write down his schedule and routine in great detail, including his medication times and any indicators she should look for. While I was away, Hailey did a very good job keeping me up-to-date with frequent, daily updates on his medication, eating, mood and activity level. She sent me pictures of him receiving his medication twice a day. She also called whenever she had any questions or concerns about his preferences or changes in behavior. As the week progressed, Loki was able to warm up to Hailey to the point where he started following commands and obeying the rules of feeding time. Hailey was able to put my mind at ease while being so far away, as I grew less and less concerned with whether Loki was in safe hands. Hailey even send me a photo of them cuddling after day 2! I will definitely be looking for Hailey for future sitting arrangements and I highly recommend her to anyone that has pets with special needs, and especially those that have never tried or are hesitant about in home sitting. If I could give 100 stars, I would give 110.”

Brianna K.Star Sitter

“Brianna has been a great sitter both times she has cared for my little girl. She responded quickly whenever I checked in with her. She asked questions if she had any concerns or needed more information. I came back twice to a clean home and a happy dog. I certainly recommend her sitting services.”


MacKenzie T.
“McKenzie is extremely knowledgeable about the care of cats. She has helped cared for cats with numerous medical conditions, including FIP and other diseases that require intense care and precise dosing of medications. It is extremely hard to trust your cat with diabetes with someone who will make sure that the dosage is triple checked and delivered properly. She can do this so you can enjoy your trip. I would trust any of my cats with her, including my senior cats, kittens, FIV, kidney disease, etc… she’s not a person that will just dump food in a bowl and leave. She will make sure your cat is well cared for.”

Taryn W.
“With very last minute notice, Taryn offered to watch our 8 month old puppy (Black Lab and Golden Retriever mix) for a week. Not only did Moxie immediately attach herself to Taryn, she almost didn’t want to come home. Taryn gave us daily updates with hilarious pictures and videos. I had complete peace of mind knowing how well our baby was being taken care of and loved. I was able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing Taryn had Moxie. I highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”

Madison M.
“First off, Madi is phenomenal! I could tell that she was naturally inclined for caregiving & my dog loves her. He (my dog Riggins) normally doesn't listen to other folks, but after she hung out with him for a couple days they were inseparable! I can't recommend her enough. I didn't have to worry about my dog one bit & she updated me on how he was doing throughout my vacation. I would definitely use Madi again!”


Lilagrace O.
“Lilagrace watched my dog for three days and did amazing! He is a smaller dog but full of energy, she made sure to play with him and take him out to get his energy out. She also fed him and gave him his medicine when he needed it. She made sure he was loved and cared for for those three days and had no problems what so ever. I highly recommend other to have her watch their pets she will love them like they are her own!”
