By the time I came back, Nala had become so much more affectionate and trusting, which means the world to me. Katie went above and beyond in making sure Nala was comfortable, well-fed, and loved. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: Experience dog sitter with an overflowing love for all pets. I would love to help you take care of your pet and love them as if they were my own! I've owned and cared for dogs from a very young age and love being around them. I am located in the downtown/channelside area, so I can get to wherever in a pinch! I also work remotely with flexible work hours, so I am looking to fill time throughout my week caring for your pet or house sitting. My fiancé and I aren't quite in the point of life to have our own dog, so I get my fix of pets and cuddles through the pets of others! I work remotely Monday-Friday with flexible hours that allow me the ability to be active with your pet throughout the day, take them on multiple walks if needed, and offer extra cuddles/play time! I will ensure that your pets are taken care of as if they were my own! I love to provide clients with daily photo and text updates, especially if owners are on vacation or away for multiple nights. As mentioned, I have a very flexible work schedule with very few meetings, so I can provide your pet the necessary attention and exercise during the day! This also allows me to stick to your dog's routine if they have a certain structure they are used to.
About: I have had golden retrievers since the day I was born and love caring for all kinds of animals. Taking them for walks, playing with them and giving the most genuine care I can is at my top priority. I’d love to help you and your puppy out! I am an anesthesiologist assistant and I’m currently completely off until mid September from work so I have a lot of availability right now! Thank you for your consideration. I respect all clients goods, and have never been anything but very trustworthy. I have the puppy’s best in mind, and more importantly the family’s best interest as well!
“Took great care of my anxious dog. Highly recommend!”
“Savannah is an excellent dog sitter very attentive and makes herself accessible for your Pet’s needs. Always feel safe leaving my furry children in her hands!”
“Natalie is great and so sweet to our baby! Definitely recommend!”
“Amanda was a fantastic care-giver to my Lulu. Very attentive, proactive, and professional. I also loved the thank you card she gave Lulu and I. It was a great touch and really showed she cared. Will be booking Amanda again for future travel dates!”
“Becky was very attentive to our pup and communicated any concerns.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs (all rescues so I’ve had experience with all sorts of behavior) since I was born. I love all pets, and am incredibly patient. Your pet is your baby, and no one gets that more than me! I’m very available for pet care! I am staying at home this summer and have a pretty free schedule that is edible to your needs! I prefer keeping your pet in your own home, where they are most comfortable. Playtime, multiple walks a day, feeding schedules, etc. are very important!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and have over 4 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. From puppies to seniors, I’ve helped with everything from walks and playtime to feedings and baths. Friends and family often rely on me when they’re away — because they know their pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog needs an energy-burning walk or some cozy downtime, I adjust to their needs and personality every time. I recently graduated from college and have a very flexible schedule. I'm available most weekdays and weekends, making it easy to fit in consistent, attentive pet care whenever you need it. I tailor walks to your dog’s needs and your preferences. Whether it’s a familiar route, just time outdoors, or a dog park visit. I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

Mariah G.Star Sitter
“Mariah watched Mega, our dachshund, for a week while my family and I took a cruise. This was the first time he had ever been left in anyone’s care and we were extremely nervous about how well Mega would take to us being gone and him in a new surrounding. When we first arrived for drop off she let him come to her when he was ready and was so patient with him. In no time, Mega adjusted well and settled in within the first 30 minutes. During our cruise she sent photos and videos to help ease our worry about being gone. I would 11/10 recommend her to any dog owner! She treated Mega like the family member he is and cared for him just like we would’ve! We will be requesting her services again for our next trip!”
