“Alivia was amazing! She house sat/ dog sat for me for a week. She was easy to communicate with, sent many photos and updates, and was kind enough to take care of my house as well. I came home to a happy pup, and a house that was cleaner than i left it. Thank you Alivia!”

“Tabutha was wonderful with my animals and my home while I was gone. I came back to happy relaxed dogs and alpacas and a clean, tidy house. My foster dog has very high anxiety and she bonded with Tabutha in just a day or so. I will definitely ask Tabutha to house sit for me again.”

“Ariana did an amazing job. She was very proactive with status updates and kept me informed daily about everything Dexter was up to. I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free knowing my dog was in good hands. 10/10, will book again.”

“Brad did an amazing job watching my anxious dog Scooby and my cat Tuna for the weekend. He was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and had their needs met, like reinforcing training and ensuring plenty of playtime and pets. He even took my dog on an adventure to the woods, which my dog loves. Would definitely have him watch my pets anytime!”
About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.
“Silas was magnificent with my dogs. They don't always take the strangers very well but Silas put them at ease very quickly. I was gone for a week and I was able to relax because I felt like they were in good hands.”

“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”


About: I have about 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine. I worked in rescue for 2 years, then general practice for just over 6 years, and have been working in a mobile oncology clinic for the last 2 years. Any medications or special treatments needed are no problem for me. I have provided pet sitting services many times throughout the last 10 years and even prior to working in the veterinary industry I enjoyed helping people care for their animals while out of town for various lengths of time. I currently work 3 days a week in person in oncology and 1 day a week remote. My oncology days vary in hours but typically I start at 7:30am and am done most days before 4:00pm. I have no problem with crating or utilizing any special barriers or set up required to keep your pet safe in your house. I have a specific routine and set up that works for my dog in my own home, so I understand that every pet is a little different and unique.

“Tara was really wonderful! When I first met her I could tell she really loves dogs and would take very good care of our pups while we’re were gone for an overnight trip. So happy I found her and I look forward to trusting her with our house and pups again in the future.”

“This is the second time I’ve had Jordan take care of my animals. The dogs are well taken care of and act like they barely missed me. My house is usually cleaner when I get home than when I left!!”

“Ashlyn was very responsive and made herself available at the last minute to watch our dog and cat, plus a tortoise and 2 fish. In addition to caring for our sick dog, she also looked after our house, watered our plants and in general came to the rescue at the last minute for us.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 6 years and have raised three dogs of my own, so caring for dogs is truly second nature to me! I’ve worked with all kinds of personalities, reactive dogs, shy or nervous pups, and super energetic dogs, and I always take the time to meet them where they’re at! I’m very patient and pay close attention to body language and behavior, which helps me build trust, especially with dogs who need a little extra reassurance or structure! I stick closely to routines, make sure dogs get the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation, and keep things calm and positive! What really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care! I treat every pet like they’re my own and want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident! I also make sure to send regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for! I work part-time, so pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I’m mostly available on Fridays and weekends, which means I have plenty of time to give pets my full attention without feeling rushed! I always put pets’ safety and comfort first. On dog walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, pay close attention to my surroundings, and go at a pace that’s comfortable for each dog. I’m careful around other dogs, traffic, and anything that might stress them out! For drop-in visits, I make sure pets feel relaxed and happy in their own home. I follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or medications, and I keep routines consistent so pets feel safe and comfortable. I also send updates and photos so you know your furry friends are doing well! I treat every home and pet like they’re my own, and I make sure both feel respected and cared for!
About: I have lots of experience with farm animals, as well as more exotic ones like large reptiles and snakes, to simple household pets! I’ve cared for animals that have special diets or need daily medication. My days are fairly flexible! I have three kids in school Monday through Friday, my husband is home weekends, so I’m up early and can work with your schedule. I take the safety of caring for your animal very seriously, all precautions will be handled as such. If you’ll need… -Leashing/Harness -Gates Locked -Kenneling -House Alarms set -Etc.
“Keri has such a sweet and gentle demeanor. My pup, Klaus, fell in love with her right away! When I got home I could tell that Klaus had had a great time and was super comfortable with Keri. She asked pertinent questions and followed my instructions to a t. I would highly recommend Keri and I will absolutely be contacting her again to sit Klaus”

“Anna was amazing! Communication thought and care to my pups top tier. She is an animal lover. She is also incredibly respectful and clean. I appreciate someone who communicates regularly and promptly and this is definitely her mode! Thanks Anna for treating my pups like your own.”


“Lauren is the BEST! She stayed at my place and watched my dobie for a week while I was in Italy. She sent me photos of Priya every day, and took care of everything around the house that I asked. She was everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. I will definitely book her again when I travel.”

About: I have been around dogs and all sorts of pets since I was a young child. My family & I have always had pets roaming around the house! A day hasn't gone by in my life where I haven't fed, bathed, or walked a dog! I currently don't work a job as I run a business out of my home. I am incredibly free any day of the week at anytime. I have a big yard (unfenced) & I am very aware of my surroundings so you can trust that I will have my eyes on everything!

Alivia did an amazing job with my two pups over the 4 day weekend. She even got kisses from my nervous foster pup, Josie. Both dogs were tired and happy when I got home. Alivia sent photos every day to show me what a good time they were having and how contented my alpacas were. I will definitely book with Alivia again.

Alivia was fantastic! She followed all our instructions perfectly and sent adorable daily photo updates. Our cats loved her so much we were honestly a little worried they’d prefer her over us by the time we got back! We can’t recommend her enough and would definitely book again.

Alivia watched our cat Olive once so far and we would love to have her back! She house sat for two nights and maintained excellent communication throughout the stay, sending us pictures of Olive to let us know she was doing well. Alivia did a great job of keeping her litter box clean and ensuring the house was as clean as it was when we left (it was honestly cleaner than before we left). We had total peace of mind while on our trip knowing that Olive was well cared for. Highly recommend hiring Alivia as your pet-sitter!
