Linda was a fantastic sitter for Shadow and we will definitely use her again when we travel. She kept us very well informed and sent pictures daily. She even washed the sheets and towels used which was an added surprise. It was great to travel worry free with Linda’s care of our girl. Highly recommended and appreciated.

Kathryn was great! She watched Rugby, Axle, Sofie, and Gracie in our home and took really good care of them. She sent us lots of photos and the dogs were happy and well-loved when we got back. Highly recommend her!

This was my first time hiring a dog sitter and I couldn’t be happier with Savanna. She was knowledgeable attentive and punctual. She showed a desire to get to know my dogs and cat and maintain their routine. I received photos and updates daily. I highly recommend her and plan on hiring her whenever I need a house/dog sitter in the future.

About: Hi! I provide attentive, reliable pet care backed by hands-on experience as a former kennel assistant, pet sitter, and working in a zoo environment. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and am confident handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Animals have always been a part of my life—I grew up caring for dogs and cats and currently have two pets of my own. This gives me a deep understanding of how important trust, consistency, and communication are when choosing someone to care for your pet. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized experience for every pet, whether that means structured routines, engaging playtime, or gentle companionship. I also provide consistent updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet will be treated with the same care, attention, and respect as my own. Being a stay at home mom, my schedule is open for walks, lots of cuddles, and structured schedules to ensure your fur baby is taken care of as if you were taking care of them yourself. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background as a kennel assistant, I’m very familiar with reading animal behavior, preventing issues before they arise, and handling pets in a calm, controlled way.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals cats, dogs, fish, and even plants! I love to help my friends, family, and more with walking their dog, feeding their cat, or watering plants! I work only a few days a week because I’m a stay at home mother so I would give your pup all my love. I’m available during the week from 11am - 8pm. I take my dogs on walks as well as play fetch at least once a day! I feed them twice a day and let them out every 2-3 hours. If i dog/cat sit for someone I go to their house 2 times a day to feed, walk, or whatever else I’m instructed to do.

If I could give Renee 10 stars I would. She is amazing - kind, responsive, thoughtful, genuinely cares and showed a lot of heart while taking care of our very elderly cat when we were out of town. She kept us posted, gave us updates, sent us pictures, and was simply a delight. When we returned from our trip Renee had taken care of everything, made sure everything was tidy, and my cat was relaxed and happy and clearly well loved. Knowing our beloved pet (and family member) was in such good hands allowed me to actually relax!!!, which is priceless. I recommend Renee with lots of enthusiasm and zero reservations. She's a lifesaver!

Jenny was wonderful!!! My two pups normally take a bit to warmup to new people but at the meet and greet they both clearly showed a liking to her. Jenny watched my pups in my home and messaged me several times a day and sent pics to let me know how things were going. This was very comforting for someone like me, with having anxiety with leaving them. My house was as clean as I left it, and I was very grateful that she brought in my packages as they were delivered. I would recommend Jenny, we will definitely be asking her to watch our pups again!!! Thank you so much Jenny, for easing my mind with my sweet babies and taking such great care of them😊!!!

About: I have several years of experience providing care, supervision, and support to children and families in educational and daycare settings. Through these roles, I’ve developed strong skills in patience, responsibility, communication, and creating safe, nurturing environments. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I watch. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, providing exercise and enrichment, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for my own cat and enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I am available 24/7 throughout the summer and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care for pets. Whether your pet needs boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, or walks, I can accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. I make it a priority to ensure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I live in a three-story townhome with plenty of indoor space for pets to relax and play. While I do not have a fenced yard, there are several nearby walking trails where dogs can enjoy regular exercise and outdoor time. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I prioritize safety, supervision, and positive interactions at all times and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care.

Briar did an excellent job bonding with my shy spaniel Lita, and what’s more, she managed to help Lita feel safe and entertained with outings and car rides. I’ll certainly rely on her services the next time I have to go out of town.

About: I am open to caring for any and all pets. As someone who currently has 3 Great Pyrenees, an Austrian Kelpie puppy, and other pets, I am experienced in all areas and types. I have open availability to care for pets. I work for myself so build my schedule around jobs and appointments as needed.

I can send pictures and videos of your pet to you and don't mind cameras in the home so you can drop in any time and see your fur and/or scaly baby.

Everything went very smoothly with Victoria taking care of our 14 year old dog and 4 year old cat. The request was made just days before we had to leave town for a family situation. Victoria was prompt responding to my initial request. She arrived promptly for a meet and greet, our dog loved her and our cat actually came out of hiding the second day and hung out with her! Victoria immediately put our minds to rest about using a new pet sitter so last minute. She kept us updated on how the kids were doing while we were away and left our house looking perfect when we arrived home. We will definitely contact her when we travel again.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have been walking and sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was very young. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, including behavioral training with dogs over 100 lbs. I've also lived with multiple cats and love giving them attention whenever they want it. As a huge animal lover without pets of my own, I'm always looking for my daily dose of furry companionship! I treat every pet like family and would love to help care for your fur babies while you're away. I work part-time on Fridays through Sundays, but my schedule is extremely flexible and I'm happy to discuss times that work best for you and your pet's needs! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my behavioral training experience, I know how to read body language and handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm attentive, responsible, and always follow your specific care instructions. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets, so I'm happy to provide updates and photos for your peace of mind. Whether caring for your fur baby in my calm, pet-friendly home or in the comfort of their own environment, I'll make sure they feel loved, secure, and right at home. Whether I'm visiting for walks, drop-ins, or staying in the comfort of your pet's own home, I'll make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
