“Katie watched our rottie and mixed breed while we went on a short overnight trip. She sent pictures, kept the house clean, and the pups were happy as can be! We had a water leak (no fault of Hers) while we were gone, she called us immediately and took care of clean up so we didn’t have to leave our trip early. Would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs! :D”


“Second time having Alan Michael watch Stella and second time he was available last minute for me, this time same day. He takes great care of her and I have peace of mind leaving her in his care. He'll definitely be the first person I look for when I need it.”


“Saren is everything you would want in a dog sitter. She is responsible, good with dogs, good with communications, and very easy to work with. We could not have been happier with the week she spent with our dog.”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own pets and fostering both cats and dogs. I'm an avid walker with a super flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love while you're away. I treat every animal like family—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I have lots of availability and love being active, so I’m always ready for walks, playtime, and cuddles. My days are flexible, which means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency as often as they need. I care for pets with the same attention and love I give my own. I'm very detail-oriented, neat, and organized. I'll always follow your instructions exactly to keep your pet comfortable and your home just the way you left it. You can trust me to treat both with the utmost care and respect.

“Ciara was an outstanding sitter. She went above and beyond in several ways and my animals were so happy and healthy when we got home from our wedding. Ciara made us and our fur babies feel like family and checked in regularly, respected our home and cleaned up leaving a clean home for us to enjoy and relax in. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we can’t thank her enough! We will definitely be having her back.”


“Jackie was truly helpful when I needed her at the last minute. She spent time with my pup and was super communicative throughout her time with him. Jackie also sent check-in photos. Jackie spent the night at my home and washed the bedding she used.”


“Alyson was great with our 4 legged family member Rowdy. She gave him all the love he missed when we were gone. She took him for walks, sent pictures, sent videos and our house was left the way we left it. Definitely will book her again and would recommend her to anyone who asks.”


“I don't have words to describe Amy! The warmth and attention she showed to our Mayse were incredible. She was very thoughtful from the beginning, even coming to our home before scheduling the Thanksgiving service so we could meet her. Amy considered our travel schedule and sent daily photos and videos. On the second-to-last day, she made sure to coordinate her arrival time to keep Mayse from being too lonely. Amazing!”


“10/10 will recommend Anamaria any day of the week!! She is amazing. Our Stella was so happy and had the best time with her. Happy and healthy were our main priorities and she exceeded them with her care. Constant updates, great communication, and flexible! She also took care of our crested gecko and his needs. From the first meet and greet when Ana asked detailed and important questions, we knew she’d be a great fit and caring sitter. We are happy to know we have a reliable and go-to person for all future pet needs!”


About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I have had many animals of my own my whole life along with pet sitting for many family members, friends, and neighbors. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked in a vet office for over a year now and with my hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m trained to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy pups. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life — not just a job, but a commitment I truly enjoy. I build my schedule around my clients’ pets to ensure consistency, comfort, and reliability. Caring for pets in their own home keeps their environment consistent and stress-free. I follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and medication. I stick to your instructions for house rules, routines, and preferences. I tidy up after myself (and your pet), water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home secure. I provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“So unbelievably thankful for Betsy! Our dogs clearly adored her and looked so happy in all the pictures she sent over. She communicated quickly and took such great care of our pups. Highly highly recommend!!!!”


About: I absolutely love spending time with animals! Whether it is a long walk, a run, or just giving them some attention, I always enjoy it. If your pet is up for it I am always down for a run instead of a walk! I have had experience with walking dogs but am not trained to handle dogs with more aggressive temperaments on walks. I have two beautiful cats right now and have much experience taking care of cats as well as dogs. I am comfortable administering shots and medicine as my previous cat had many health issues before she passed away. Current availability: Monday/Thursday: All day Wednesday: Early morning Friday: after 4:30 pm Saturday/Sunday: before 8 am + after 5:30 pm Please note: my availability is dependent on personal plans as well, please reach out for confirmation! I currently have two indoor cats that receive a lot of love, treats, and snuggles! I wake up every day to feed them at 6 am and play with them frequently. In the past, I have loved taking dogs on runs/walks, whatever the dog seems to be in the mood for. Cherokee Park is my go-to for dog walking because of its accessible water fountains for dogs. I also definitely enjoy playing fetch with dogs during walks.

About: Through my own dog, bear, I have developed a care and compassion for animals. Animals are my passion, and I plan to pursue this passion in marine biology after my undergraduate at JcTc to preserve the biodiversity of our planet. I am a graduate cum laude from high school, I have a total flexibility on weekdays, before 2:00pm on Fridays, and my weekends are open. I have a fenced in backyard, my pet has regular vet visits, I am responsible for insuring my dog the proper amount of nutrition each day. I understand the importance of daily walks, and use a leash at all times.

“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”


“Sage was wonderful with my elderly dog Lucy who has trouble getting around. She came over for a meet and greet before her weekend stay, took terrific care of Lucy during a heat wave, communicated often and sent photos, and left my home very neat and clean! So appreciative for Sage and her loving care of Lucy!”


“Rachel watched my dogs and house for a long weekend. I got frequent updates and good communication while away. The pups were happy and the house was in great shape when I returned. So relieved to have a great sitter when traveling.”
