“Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He’s notoriously sensitive to change—often refusing to eat and hiding when I’m away. But within just two days of being with Alexandra, he was out of his shell and eating normally. Her calm, caring approach clearly made him feel safe and comfortable. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking her again for future trips. Highly recommend!”
“Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)”
“One of our sweet fur babies recently received some bad news from our vet. This was our first time leaving him since his diagnosis, & I was so worried. Between that & my work schedule being so hectic, the lead up to our trip out of town was just a mess. Stephanie made everything SO much easier for us. Knowing she was caring for them while we were away put me totally at ease. She is kind, patient, communicative, & so very thoughtful. I loved getting updates and check-ins from her. Our cat has had a very poor appetite, & she went above and beyond to try to get him to eat—which means the world to me. It’s not always easy to find someone you can trust with your pets—especially if one of them is ill or takes medication—but Stephanie is the BEST!”
“Suzanne was great! My husband and I were in a bind and needing a sitter for our Chihuahua almost at a moments notice. She listened to his needs we explained and was very thorough with any questions she had. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Chloe was great with our fur babies!! We got plenty of updates with pictures and videos. We will only have Chloe pet sit for us. She’s very trustworthy and great with communication.”
“This was our second time using Ken. He is so great and attentive with Chewy and tolerates all of our questions about how she’s doing which is very much appreciated. He is very understanding of her anxiety and general weirdness. It is such a blessing to be able to confidently leave her in his care and not have to be concerned about a single thing.”
About: CAN NEGOTIATE AND MODIFY PRICE FOR SERVICES BASED ON LOCATION AND NEEDS! I have been raising dogs, cats, gerbils, etc. (you name it) for years. I am an animal lover of all sorts and very good with them as well. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it and you and your pet will end up satisfied. I will make sure your pet has an awesome day/night, and return them safe and sound to you. I can bathe, brush, groom. I love to walk and give treats as well. Pick me! You will not be let down. * IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO AN IN PERSON MEET AND GREET, I WILL NEED TO CHARGE $8 FOR GAS. (I CAN TAKE CASH, VENMO, OR APPLE PAY) I work from home! So I can watch your fur babes pretty much 24/7. For dogs, I usually take them out three times a day. I take my dogs on several walks a day and to the park! I will do the same for yours, they will be able to play and get any energy out. I have a porch which I let the dogs go out on part of the day to get extra smells and fresh air
About: I have experience with senior dogs as I took care of my own senior dog while I was in high school, so I am aware of the unique love and care that they need and appreciate. I also love working with high energy dogs as my family dog back home Toby has unlimited energy for play, so I would love to help your dog get their fill while you’re away! I also now have a cat of my own (shout out James) and I absolutely love taking care of cats and their unique quirks! I would love to take care of your wonderful cat so they are comfortable and taken care of while you’re away from home! I am currently getting my master's in counseling, so I have plenty of time during the day outside of my few class times to make sure your pet is properly taken care for! I spoil my cat James! I have adjusted my balcony in my apartment to make sure he gets plenty of time to bird watch with me while I enjoy my morning coffee and book! Figuring out his unique personality and how to take care of him based on his needs was important, as he is very particular with the types of toys he likes! I also loved getting him a water fountain instead of a bowl to make sure James gets enough water! All that being said I want to make sure I spoil your dog or cat just as good as I care for my James!
“Katherine has been a phenomenal sitter for my senior dogs. She has been very attentive and has sent me adorable pictures and videos. I was very nervous leaving them for 8 days but Katherine has honestly gone above and beyond my expectations!!! I would highly recommend and I hope to use her again in the near future.”
“Once again Emily was nothing but wonderful caring for our pups in our home! Highly recommend her and will continue to use her for our pups in the future! Thanks again for everything, Emily!”
“Carley was amazing! I highly recommend her! She was professional, on time, and checked in on my dogs multiple times a day. Carley checked in with me multiple times a day and sent me multiple photos. I felt very comfortable knowing she was taking such good care of my boys. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—both large and small, long-haired and short-haired, male and female—so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, bathing, basic grooming, and administering medication when needed. I also have experience with cats, including feeding, litter box care, playtime, and respecting different temperaments—from very social cats to more independent or shy ones. I understand that cats often need a calm, low-pressure approach and consistency in their routine. In addition, I have mild but comfortable experience caring for small caged animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, and similar pets. I’m familiar with basic feeding, cleaning enclosures, and making sure their environment stays safe, clean, and consistent. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for multiple animals at once in a structured, high-energy environment. Outside of that, I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and family over the years, including in-home care where I followed existing routines and kept pets comfortable while their owners were away. My goal is always to treat every animal with patience and care, paying attention to their individual needs and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and looked after while you’re gone. I work a weekday job, but I have a consistent and reliable availability for pet care. I am off work at 4 PM Monday through Wednesday and available for evening drop-ins, walks, or care visits after that time. On Thursdays, I am off work after 1 PM, giving me earlier afternoon availability as well as evening flexibility. I am fully available Friday through Sunday, including daytime visits, extended care, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I’m open to both recurring weekly schedules and one-time bookings, and I do my best to accommodate advance requests when possible. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always safety, routine, and making sure animals feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and stress levels. In my own home, I have a cat and a dog, and any boarding or in-home care would be done with careful introductions and only when it’s a safe and appropriate fit for all animals involved. I keep a calm, structured environment and prioritize supervision, separation when needed, and respecting each pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I respect the space, keep things clean, and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and doing well. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and small caged animals, and I always make sure litter boxes, enclosures, and feeding areas are kept clean, secure, and properly maintained. Safety is a top priority for me—I pay attention to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and any behavioral notes so pets stay safe and routines stay consistent.
“Meghann is a star!! She was thorough, responsive, and so loving with our senior dog. Meghann sent photos throughout the stay, gave us updates in a timely manner, and was on the ball with every medication and task our pup needed. She left our home clean and orderly, and gave us final updates before leaving. 15/10 would book Meghann again!”
“Sally did such an amazing job with Miller and Lexie! She sends the best updates and pictures! It makes it so much easier to leave them knowing they are in such caring hands!”

Katherine has been a phenomenal sitter for my senior dogs. She has been very attentive and has sent me adorable pictures and videos. I was very nervous leaving them for 8 days but Katherine has honestly gone above and beyond my expectations!!! I would highly recommend and I hope to use her again in the near future.
Janessa was amazing! She gave us detailed and frequent updates while we were gone. Our dogs are a little high maintenance but she handled them very well. Not only were our dogs well taken care of, but she left our house spotless! Definitely highly recommend Janessa and will use her in the future.
Once again, Heather came to my rescue. I had a last minute need and fortunately for me she was available and willing to come last minute. She always seems to go above and beyond whenever she can. My Labrador loves it when she comes and I have no concerns at all when I need to be away. Thanks again Heather!
Angela has watched my dogs in home for years. I can leave my babies in her hands and go on vacation with peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. She complies with all instructions and medications and always lets me know if anything comes up in the moment. She can handle all types of dogs from small to large, from calm to crazy (I have had dogs in all these categories). She also leaves no trace in the house! You would never know she was there! I highly recommend Angela!
Thrace is a wonderful sitter. My boys took to her right away at our meet & greet, and were obviously happy campers upon return. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay, and her response time is fast, both of which are so appreciated. Thrace was very respectful of our home, as well as the boys’ routine. I won’t hesitate to rebook with her in the future!
Amber was so flexible with the change of our travel dates last minute and accommodating of our schedule over the Thanksgiving holiday. She came to meet my pups beforehand as requested and it helped me feel so at ease with her taking care of my babies. My pugs had a great time snuggling and hanging out with her in our home while we were away. She sent regular picture/text updates and followed all the care instructions perfectly. The dogs were so happy and content when I got home too. I will definitely rebook with Amber in the future and I think she is a top notch dog sitter!
Maggie did house sitting for us for one elderly dog and one puppy. Really helpful to have Maggie’s expertise from all her experience working with dogs since our young puppy started getting sick. She provided documentation we could take to the vet and gave us insight that helped us stay calm til we could get back home. She stayed in touch in general which we appreciated since we were nervous doing our first weekend away using a dog sitter
