I know our animals had a great visit with Tina and would recommend her to any perspective sitting needs.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover & care taker. I also own a small business making healthy pet treats, so your special fur face will be spoiled! I have experience with reactive dogs, behavioral problems, senior animals, medical issues, & a wide variety of species. I base my care around the animals needs, not my schedule. I am patient, steady, & calm. I have loads of engagement toys, puzzles & activities to keep your pet happy & stimulated. I have a very flexible schedule & work from home, so I can adjust around you & your pets' needs whether it's early morning, last minute, or before bed. I do not have a fenced yard, so I do not leave dogs outside at my home. I walk & take park trips multiple times a day. I have 3 dogs & a cat who are used to new friends visiting. I do not crate my dogs in my home, but am happy to in your home.
“Kathryn is amazing. Extremely attentive to my baby’s needs and super flexible with our schedule. Her communication goes beyond expectation and has made our experience of rover great!”
“We booked Abigail and Ian last minute to let Pancho out, and they were amazing! They responded quickly, were super friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable trusting them to come into our home. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Joan did a fantastic job taking care of our blind cat and flock of backyard chickens. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking or a pet sitter!”
“Darby was so great! She let our three dogs out for a potty break after my dog just had surgery and took great care of him. She did a lot for my dog with him needing help using the bathroom and wearing post surgery clothes/cone. She was super loving and friendly with the dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Steve was a wonderful cat sitter, I felt much better leaving on a trip knowing my cat has a buddy to play with. Great communication, will book again!”
“Mark is a fantastic sitter. I work on call and need last minute care for my pup sometime and Mark was happy to help! I came home to a very happy dog! Thanks, Mark! Will book this sitter again.”
“Stephanie checked on our dogs while we were away for a long day. She left a great recap of their time together and shared a few pics. Communicative and exactly what we needed when we were away the whole day!”
“Stacy was so helpful and responded quickly with our last minute request. She did a fantastic job taking care of our flock of backyard chickens and our blind cat, catering to special instructions and sending the best photos. We really appreciate her help!”
“I’m really happy I picked Anna to look after my cats! She gave me peace of mind about leaving them while I was on vacation, knowing they’d be well cared for. I’d definitely ask her to watch them again in the future!”
“I am so incredibly grateful for Annmarie! When I returned home from my week-long trip, my cat seemed completely calm and content - none of the usual signs of stress and dysregulation that typically happen when I’m away. It was such a relief to see how comfortable and happy she was. My cat is very sensitive and generally doesn’t take well to strangers, but it’s clear that she took to Annmarie right away. The communication throughout my trip was excellent - I felt completely secure knowing my cat was in such capable, caring hands. Annmarie’s care was particularly excellent in every way. I couldn’t have asked for better pet sitting, and I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Meghan and Jacob did an excellent job taking care of my two cats for three weeks! They communicated clearly, provided fun photos and updates, and made me feel comfortable knowing my pets were in great hands! I would definitely recommend them to others, and would book with them again in the future 😊”
“Kate has been wonderful. She comes in and takes care of my dog when I’m in a pinch. Every time she comes, I have no complaints from Crane, I don’t have a light in my living room and she still takes care of my dog. She is wonderful.”
About: I’ve dog-sat for aunts and uncles since I was 16! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds :) big dogs have a special place in my heart because I used to show bullmastiffs when I was a kid! I work 3-4 days a week depending on my schedule. And I’m going back to school this fall. I am trying to save some money for a very expensive treatment that I’ve been trying to avoid so I’m doing what I can to make a little extra! I love our neighborhood and love being outside so I figured this is the perfect way to do that! My husband and I bought our house last November. We have a fenced in yard and an 8 month old chocolate lab puppy who LOVES other dogs and any opportunity to play with them! She will bark on occasion and when that happens, we just bring her inside because we don’t like to disturb our neighbors. She is allowed on the furniture when we invite her up so we don’t mind if you dog likes the couch! I would have the same respect for your house as I do my own!
About: I have experience watching family members’ dogs. I particularly enjoy taking them for a walk or jogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages. My favorite breed is golden retrievers. I currently work full time Monday through Friday. I have availability early mornings, evenings and weekends. I am flexible during these times depending what is needed. I am very observant in paying attention to how cats and dogs are doing without their owner, such as eating, drinking and going to the bathroom. Pets tend to warm up quickly to me.

Laura S.Star Sitter
“Laura truly cared for my two dogs like they were her own. She was very attentive to their individual needs and quirks and went out of her way to make them feel comfortable with her. My one dog, Freddie, is fearful of new people and was initially skeptical of Laura. By the end of the week, she was easily his favorite human! It is a huge relief knowing your critters are well taken care of and well loved when you're away. She sent us regular photos and updates and was wonderful all around. Highly recommend!”

Jessa E.
“We’ve trusted Jessa to care for our golden retriever, Dolly, since she was a puppy, and she’s been incredible every step of the way. Jessa has a natural comfort with dogs and connected with Dolly right away. Over the past four years, she’s been consistently responsible, reliable, and attentive—always keeping us updated and following instructions to the letter. Knowing Dolly is in such good hands has given us total peace of mind. Jessa is also wonderful with Dolly’s care and routines. She takes her on regular walks, gives her plenty of love and attention, and has even bathed her with patience and care (no easy task with a golden retriever!). Dolly absolutely adores her, and it’s clear Jessa treats her like one of her own. We highly recommend Jessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
