“Kailee was amazing with Bear! She took him on many walks and spent every moment with him knowing he has anxiety. Bear loved her so much he actually slept with her. We will def be asking her to pet sit again.”


“Fantastic with frequent walks, providing us pictures of our fur baby that we missed so much, giving us updates about the apartment complex while they had ongoing projects that affected our apartment, and she came out before she dog sat so that we could meet her prior. I highly recommend!”


“This was the first time we had used Blaize for in home per sitting. We had a family emergency and had to move up our trip by two weeks very last minute. Blaize was so flexible and agreed to sit literally the day before we had to leave. She was also respectful and comforting of my hesitation with having someone I didn’t know stay at my house and care for our two dogs. She was dependable, sent regular updates, and left my house as if she hadn’t even been there. We were very happy with Blaize and will continue to use her in the future.”


“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience having Miles house sit and care for our dogs, Carol and Walter. This was our first time having someone stay in our home while we were away, and we were initially a little apprehensive—but Miles quickly put us at ease. From the start, Miles was warm, professional, and communicative. Carol and Walter were cared for as if they were part of Miles’ own family. We received frequent updates and photos, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away. The house was left spotless—extremely tidy and well cared for. We truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. Miles exceeded all expectations, and we’ll absolutely be rebooking for future travel plans!”


“First time we used Emily's services. We are happy to say she was prompt and on time (even arrived a little early) and despite an impending storm, she did not cancel on us. We were very impressed by that. We only were going out for the evening, but Emily insured that our pup TOBY who's a beagle mix and has separation anxiety was well cared for while we were out. He also wasn't feeling up to his usual perky self, so it was good she was here with him, and she sent us a picture and update on him to make us feel better. We would definitely recommend Emily and will request her again in the future as needed.”


“We booked Rachel for a week long house sitting stay for 2 dogs (one that is still healing from a broken leg) and she exceeded all expectations! She provided updates at least daily, sometimes even more - and I loved recieving the photos and cute lil comments about how their days went! We came back to a clean house, she even washed our sheets so we didnt have to worry about it when we came home. My babies were very comfortable with her, and she even stopped by twice before the booking to allow them to get used to her, which kept our Chihuahua from having any separation anxiety. She asked informed questions and made sure she had a thorough understanding before we left! We informed her that we got sick from the cruise and came home to some cans of chicken noodle soup, shes super sweet! I printed out any information I could for her about anything that could possibly come up (as I would have spotty service being on a cruise) and she followed them to a tee. She offered to help with our house plants too which helped immensely! She also looked for solutions to anything I noted as if they were her own dogs. I told her to help herself to whatever in the house, yet she still replaced it, I can not recommend Rachel enough. This was the first time we have left the dogs at home with a sitter, and I was very nervous, but she made the whole process extremely comfortable and I can’t thank her enough. We found our go to dog sitter and dare I say possibly even a friend! Thank you again Rachel 🥰”


“Darienne was fantastic! She put my mind at ease about being out of the country and leaving my Bumble at home. She communicated very clearly with me and I knew he would be safe with her. Very happy to have found a sitter again for any future trips!”



About: I'm a flight attendant for an international airline and my husband and I travel too much to have a pet of our own. May we borrow yours? We're not interested in making a business in dog care. We dog sit purely out of our love for dogs. Growing up, I had Schnauzers. Aaron had Dachshunds. We spent a couple of years fostering for the Humane Society (mostly pitties) and a local bull terrier rescue, but now that we don't have a house and yard, it just isn't possible anymore. When we dog sit overnight, if your dog is used to sleeping in the bed with you overnight, we're happy to also allow it. We will accommodate your dog's normal routine. We firmly believe in consistency with training, so let us know if there is anything you've been working on! As far as special needs... Yes, we have experience with a lot of special needs dogs, but we don't want to set the expectation that we can provide professional-level medical care. We'll need to consider it on a case-by-case basis and we'll be honest about what we can do confidently when it comes to your dog's medical care. When I'm not traveling, I'm home. My husband works an irregular schedule. Your dog will always have me, my husband, or both of us there. I won't book a dog sitting if I'm traveling. Tons of love and sticking to your dog's routine as much as possible. I follow whatever type of feeding schedule you have for them and whatever else. Just let me know!

About: Dedicated and experienced dog sitter with 30+ years of providing compassionate care to dogs of all breeds. I don’t work so I am available all day/night. I only take 1 family’s dog/dogs at a time, my dog passed away recently and I offer a clean and safe environment for pets. I grew up with dogs and have taken care of many dogs throughout my years. I’m available to house sit or boarding at my house. I take this job seriously and will treat your dog as if my own. I have had dogs with special needs (blind,deaf,seizures,special dietary restrictions,separation anxiety) I am very knowledgeable to care for your pup while you are away. My schedule is very flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I have plenty of time to play, walk and give your pet my full attention. I would love your fur baby to stay with me or I can stay at your home if they are more comfortable. I have a medium size dog crate if needed. Plenty of toys, beds, and even a dog car seat and stroller if your pet is unable to walk far. I recently lost my dog and would love to open my heart to watch yours.

About: I don’t think I know what’s best for your dog on the first meeting, only you know that. I’m a stickler for detail and scheduling. I drive a school bus so I’m available middays, evenings, and weekends. I live in St Pete and would like to stay within the city. I would prefer to care for your pets in your home, if possible, I find the pets prefer their own environment. Thank you so much

“Amanda was GREAT!! our first time leaving our puppy and older dog together and she eased all our worries!! They had so much fun with her, she is the best will definitely book again!!”


“Logan did a fantastic job caring for my corgi, Bella, while I was away. Bella is 16.5 years old and needs a bit of extra love and attention, and Logan provided exactly that. Logan was attentive to Bella's routine, medications, and mobility issues, and kept me updated with messages and photos that put my mind at ease. I recommend Logan to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and compassionate pet sitter—especially if you have an older pet who needs that extra bit of care.”



“Andria is absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of my very anxious dog, and excellent care of my home! She communicates frequently and I received tons of pictures and updates. Will definitely use her again!”



“Communicative, respectful, caring, and most of all trustworthy. Joli was a pleasure to have. This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone besides my parents, so as you can imagine I was nervous. She was willing to work with my schedule and I could immediately tell my dog was her highest priority. Joli house sat for me as well, and she treated my home with respect and went the extra miles. Joli took the initiative to proactively give me updates on Chip and their adventures, and it made me so happy! Chip had the best time!! The icing on the cake was that on my flight back I was delayed and could have missed my connection. Joli was very willing to stay with Chip longer if I did miss my connection. She made sure I made my connecting flight and made sure I made it home. I will exclusively be using Joli every time I need a puppy sitter and I highly highly recommend leaving your animals with her. She will spoil them with attention and affection while you are away!”


“We are so happy with Alison!! She took care of 4 dogs like a pro! We got daily reports, pictures and videos. Our dogs were content and happy. Our home neat and clean. Most importantly we were about to take 5 days off without worry. I don’t think there are enough stars or adjectives to describe how amazing she is!”



“Marlene is a treasure-my beagle is a nervous guy and she was so wonderful and patient with him. It was such a relief to know a truly kind, loving experienced person with him since I knew he was going to be a wreck when I left for a few days. Beyond that she was, professional, thoughtful, responsive, sent wonderful pictures etc. I would rate her a 1000 stars if I could :)”


“Faith was great! She took good care of our diabetic cat and we would rebook with her. She even took out the trash and recycling bins while we were gone. She tore off bed sheets and put in laundry room and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Faith!”

Kathleen H.
“I’m so happy to share how wonderful Kathleen H. is with animals. I’ve known Kathleen for many, many years, and she is truly one of the most responsible and dependable people I know. She has cared for many dogs throughout her life, and it shows in how naturally she connects with them—she’s patient, loving, and understands their needs. Kathleen also has a great deal of medical knowledge, which gives me (and would give any pet owner) peace of mind that pets in her care are safe and well looked after. She is the person I trust completely with my own pets, knowing they’re treated like family. Any dog or pet would be lucky to have Kathleen as their sitter or walker. She’s attentive, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”


Linda D.
“I’ve known Linda for over 20 years. Linda is a very kind, helpful, responsible caring person. I travel a lot and Linda has always cared for my cats, dogs & birds throughout the years . It difficult to leave your fur babies when traveling but I always knew they were in great hands. My pets love Linda, she’s like a second parent to them. I highly recommend Linda as a pet caregiver/sitter and dog walker.”
