“Rosie took wonderful care of our pups and our home while we were away and was very patient with our one dog who is a bit of a nervous Nellie. It was so nice to know our pups were in good hands while we were away, thanks Rosie!”
“Brandy communicated so well with me during my out of state trip. Lots of pictures, information, and even fixed our dead bolt lock! She stayed at our home and took care of our two dogs that aren’t used to being alone. The house was spotless when we got back. The dogs have been looking out the window for when their “friend” is coming home. Haha Couldn’t have asked for a better person to do the job. Cheers to Brandy; she gets 100 stars in my book!”
“Emily communicates with great confidence beforehand and sent helpful updates during her time with my dog. I feel at ease having my dog in her responsibility, and look forward to using her services again.”
“Ada was absolutely amazing. She took care of our two dogs and three cats while we were out of town for a week and sent tons of cute photo updates throughout the duration of our trip. We will definitely be booking again with her in the future :)”
“Julia was great! She has great communication and gives updates on the dogs with pictures, which is nice to have while away. I am excited to have found her and have already re-booked for future dog sitting!”
“Rebecca was incredible and saved us from a huge ordeal after someone cancelled on us the day before a big trip to dog-sit. She responded promptly, was obviously very comfortable around animals and spoke fondly of her families doggies. She has a LOVELY, happy energy and I would highly recommend :)”
About: Friendly, loving and reliable pet sitter with over a decade of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Experienced with medication administration or other special care needs. Ready to spoil your pet with play, walks, car rides, and cuddles. 🐾 I am currently working a flexible job that allows me to work from anywhere. I have one very friendly dog myself, and would love to bring him along with me (if possible) for overnight care. I would prefer to pet-sit in your home to ensure your pets are comfortable and feel safe! I have a dog park on site at my townhome that is available to dogs.
“Jessie took wonderful care of our two pups and cat while we were away. He communicated daily and spent a lot of time with our fur kids, who always have separation anxiety while we are gone. We would recommend using Jesse for overnight stays.”
“I'm very happy with Maggie who stayed at my home with two dogs and a cat for 3 days, 2 nights. She's obviously an animal lover and they all like her. My home looked great on my return and all the pets were happy. I am using Maggie again in the near future and am comfortable recommending her for overnight stays.”
“We couldn’t ask for anyone better than Kaylee! She takes the absolute best care of our dog and cat while we are away that we never have an ounce of worry. Our animals love her, and she is extremely reliable and great with communication. We cannot recommend Kaylee enough, we wish we could give her 10 stars. Thank you!!”
“First off, Adria is amazing! She is dependable/flexible and great with animals! She watched my dogs at my home and left everything tidy and my dogs loved her! Your dogs will be well cared for and your home will be also!”
About: I've grown up around lots of animals. I also have my own pet now, the cutest of dogs. I look forward to meeting your pets. I currently work part time and I plan to be doing college full time this fall. I'll be as flexible as I possibly can be. I'll take your pet for walks or provide whatever care of it that you would like. Walks, feeding, playtime, or anything else it may need.
About: I’ve worked at a vet clinic for 8 years, and before that worked in dog grooming. So I have some experience with dogs, pet sitting for various ones throughout the years. I’ve had cats 15+ years, so I do really well with them too. I work full-time, 4-10 hour days a week, but my husband is always home. I live within 15 mins of my job, and can stop by to have lunch, check in on my pets, etc. I’m completely off 3 days a week, and hours vary, but are pretty flexible. I have a big fenced backyard, and a very friendly and playful 2.5-year-old dog. We have 4 cats, but also a couple crates if needed to separate. No kids.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I’m extremely attentive to all of their needs. Big, little, and everything in between. I have experience with dogs that need medication and seniors I currently work four days a week and can feed animals before and after work. Sunday-Tuesday I am available for housesitting and multiple trips a day to take care of and play with your pets As I have animals that like to get into things, it’s my priority to make sure the home is safe for when animals are on their own. I’ve also owned runners in the past so I’m cautious coming in and out of the house. I work to build your pets trust in me and I’m willing and able to take it slow with them :)

“Lanie has taken care of my dog several times and sees him every week. She is always attentive and constantly sends me updates. I’ve never worried about being gone because I know they are in good hands. My dog gets so excited every time she comes over because he knows he’s going to get all of the attention. I definitely recommend that she takes care of your pet.”

Nadiya did a great job watching our dog Bronco. He is only 3 and can be a hand full at times and she said he was a good dog while we were away. She sent me photos while I was gone which was really nice and helped me feel as if I was staying connected with my pup.
