“Evelyn treated Stella like her own: was eager to check on it, noticed ailments and resolved them. She communicated on the dot and left no room for any mishaps. I'll be having her take care of Stella again at the earliest time available!”


“Rebeca is amazing, we couldn’t be more happy with our choice for our pup. She is very responsive, kind, punctual, and flexible! We are always confident our dog and our home are in great hands.”


“Nevaeh was fantastic! She arrived right on time and went above and beyond during her visit. She took Mia out to the backyard for a potty break, brought her back in, spent time playing with her, and even checked in on our cats—despite only being scheduled to let the dog out. We’re very happy with the care she provided and will absolutely be using her services again in the near future. Highly recommended!”


“Bailey came and did a meet and greet with my pups. They took to her immediately as they can tell she truly loves animals. She took notes for our coming visit and implemented her tasks wonderfully. I got picture updates on how they were doing for the day and when one of my pups had an accident in the house, she cleaned it up perfectly. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again. 😃”


“Isabelle is amazing! She left thorough reports when doing drop ins. Completely went above and beyond! We will definitely book again with Isabelle.”


“Absolutely amazing job from Kimberly, we have one very outgoing cat and one very shy cat and she gave them both tailored attention and care. Our shy boy even let her pet him by the end of the trip which is a HUGE rave review from him. Would definitely recommend and book again :)”


About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.

About: Hi there! My name is Marycarmen, and I'm a dedicated student with a deep love for dogs. As I work towards my career, I’m seeking some extra income, and what better way than combining my passion for animals with a job I truly enjoy? In my free time, I offer reliable, loving pet care services tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just some cozy companionship, I promise your pet will be in great hands. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, and I’m committed to providing the highest level of care so you can feel confident while you’re away. Let me help give your pet the attention and love they deserve! Between my classes and studies, I set aside dedicated time each day to provide personalized care, whether it’s taking dogs for long walks, playing with them, or just being present to offer companionship. I have a secure, fenced yard where your dog can safely play, run, and explore. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and cozy downtime.

“Erika helped us out very last minute over the holidays and was great to work with. She kept us updated at each visit and took great care of our two dogs. She was professional and communicated effectively with any questions she had. We would definitely have Erika watch our dogs again!”


About: I started caring for dogs when I was 12 years old, where I learned to bathe, feed, and train Golden Retrievers. I continued to implement what I learned with those loving dogs, with my own dog who is now 11 years old and is named Oliver! I treat every dog like my own - with love and care. I am a flexible young woman with time before and after my 9-5! I am dependable, caring and responsible. I love to help care for animals and enjoy helping others in my free time. I care for pets in my clients home by being respectful of the space and leaving food and leashes right where I found them and belong. Being respectful and caring of my client’s pet and space is very important to me.

“Emma was super awesome with our little girl. She pulled through last minute and was super flexible. Highly suggest Emma to take care of your pets.”


About: I treat every pet like family, giving them personalized love, attention, and care. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra patience or meds. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available after 6pm on weekdays and fully open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, cuddles, and quality time. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds. I give them lots of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. I always respect your space and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

“Tiffany is a fantastic caretaker. We have had her take care of our cat multiple times now and she is always reliable and communicative. Our cat can be a bit slow to come out of her shell and Tiffany sends us helpful updates when we're away. Thank you!!!”


About: Growing up with cats and having dogs by my side for the last 25+ years, caring for animals has always been a part of my life. From energetic German Shepherds and loyal Labs to cuddly Maltese, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs and pups with joint or hip issues, and I’m comfortable administering a wide range of medications (excluding IVs). I know how important it is to be gentle, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs—especially when they require a little extra care. I used to travel often for work, so I personally understand the stress of leaving your beloved pet with someone new. That’s why I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I truly believe the bond between a pet and their person is sacred, and I treat that bond with the utmost respect. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some playtime, or just a comforting presence, I’ll be there to care for them like they’re my own. I work standard hours Monday-Friday from 8-5 but I work from home so I’m able to stop in during the day. Early mornings, evenings and weekends I will be able to spend more time. I cater to the needs of the pet/owner. Each animal is different and each owner treats their pet differently. I only watch one owner/family’s pet at a time so the level of care your pet will receives is based on your standards.

“Maggie was absolutely incredible! I was so lucky to have found her. She was so patient with my pups and their anxiety with my being gone. It looked like they warmed right up to her. She communicated daily and took pictures. They had a few accidents and Maggie was so pleasant about everything. I would definitely recommend her.”


“Wow! Milo took to Carly like I’ve never seen him take to anyone! He was so excited to see her he almost knocked her over and she handled it like a professional!!!! I’m so grateful she was available today! I couldn’t make it home and I knew my big guy needed to go out! She was super fast to get there and handled everything with the best energy! She also cleaned my kitchen where I have his bowls and washed them out! I’m blown away!”


About: I live 5 min from the airport. My family and I have always been animal lovers, and I grew up surrounded by animal love. I've always lived with pets, both dogs and cats, and therefore understand their needs and how to make them feel at home. During my care, I provide constant updates on your pet's status and keep up with changes in mood or behavior. I'm a very active and fit person, ready to play nonstop or go for long walks. I love to take care of all kind of pets. Weekend will be the best moment to get animal love in my life and also help people to have the best care experience for their pets. I have a medium size house with a fenced back yard perfect for pets to run and play. My family and I love to care animals so love will be given all the time and your friend will always be treated with the best conditions.


“Our pups and cat took to Alex right away. Alex was great at communicating and sending picture updates. One of our pups had an accident which he cleaned up promptly and he also give us updates of Yogi's condition throughout the time he was there. He us updated on our pond water level and reset a pet cam when it stopped working. I would highly recommend Alex!”



About: I've grown up with two dogs and constantly dog sit for friends and family and help with a dog shelter with fostering and adopting out their dogs. I have been helping adopt these dogs out to my community and have yet had a dog that was too hard for me to adopt out. I have a passion for dogs and animals and hope to someday open up my own animal shelter and day care for cats and dogs. In graduate school in the evening. Have plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends. Can make it work and hopefully make it easy for you. I have my own place but my dog doesn’t enjoy having other dogs in her space. I will have to come to your place for your furry friend.

“Nadia was very attentive to Theo and loved on him lots during the time period of dog sitting! She was very communicative and quickly responded when messaged about Theo! I will definitely recommend her to anyone in the area and will use again!”

Joshua W.

“Joshua Womack is my "go to" person for pet sitting every time we head out of town, which has been quite often lately. He has such a gentle nature with animals and has been called "the dog whisperer" among many people in our neighborhood. I can always count on Joshua to be sure that our boy Charlie is well taken care of and is very happy in our absence, which includes going on lots of walks, chasing tennis balls and of course ensuring that he has been fed and has fresh water. I never have to worry about anything when we are gone as I know that Joshua is very reliable, trustworthy and caring, and he will make sure that our pup is well-cared for and happy. I have known Joshua for a very long time and highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of an awesome person to care for your beloved pets in your absence.”

Emma was super awesome with our little girl. She pulled through last minute and was super flexible. Highly suggest Emma to take care of your pets.

I booked Gina VERY last minute for two weeks to feed and visit my 3 cats plus my daughter's cat. We did two meets before and after the first, I completely felt great vibes. I have one cat, Oliver that never comes out for anyone other than us. I got a picture of him on I think her second visit! She was wonderful about sending pics and updates. She let them out on my lanai to get some fresh air on her visits. Really can't say enough good things about her. Will definitely be booking her for future visits and house stays next time!

Nadia was a very calming influence on our cats while we were away for a week. I highly recommend her and hope she'll be available the next time we go away!

Maggie was absolutely incredible! I was so lucky to have found her. She was so patient with my pups and their anxiety with my being gone. It looked like they warmed right up to her. She communicated daily and took pictures. They had a few accidents and Maggie was so pleasant about everything. I would definitely recommend her.

Kathy was absolutely wonderful! Our cat is a senior kitty and is very shy. Kathy sent us photos after every visit and even encouraged our cat to come out of his hiding spot and spend some time with her, which he seemed to love. Kathy kept him well fed and hydrated, and our cat was very happy and relaxed when we came back home. We highly recommend Kathy!!
