Emma and Trent looked after our English bulldog for a week when we went away for vacation. This was our first time using anyone other than family to watch her but could not be more happy with our experience. Our dog, Darla, has lots of quirks that can make her a little more difficult than your average dog. From the moment Darla met Trent and Emma she fell in love and we knew she would be in great hands. We got regular updates and Darla seemed to enjoy her week with them. Trent and Emma communicated often and made us feel comfortable the entire time we were away. Would 1000% rebook with them both and we think Darla would agree. Emma and Trent are great people and go out of their way to make sure we and Darla were comfortable during the week

Staci is wonderful. We just did a trial run for a longer trip and it worked out great! We have three dogs, one of whom is very difficult and she really was able to accommodate and work through his quirks. We also felt relaxed and appreciated her photos and updates.

About: I really love animals and spending time with them. I currently work as a dog walker, so I’m used to being around dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also have my own cat, Leyla, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always pay attention to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with. I treat every pet like my own, and their safety and happiness are always my priority. My work shifts end by 3:30 PM, so I am fully available for afternoon and evening care at your home. While my off days vary each week, I am very flexible and can provide dedicated time for walks or house sitting during those days. I am committed to following your pet's specific routine and ensuring they get the attention they need once I am off work. I am a very responsible and alert sitter who prioritizes the safety of your pet and the security of your home. I am extremely careful about locking doors and ensuring your pet is safe and supervised at all times during my visits. I stay in constant communication with owners, providing updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.

We had Kelly come dog sit in January for a week. She was amazing! Very comforting for us that my dog, Sophie, would be cared for in my home. Sophie is normally an anxious dog. While Kelly was with her, Sophie was completely fine. I really enjoyed the photos of Sophie that Kelly sent me during her stay. Kelly stayed overnight for Sophie, she was very respectful of my home and left it the way she found it. I would highly recommend Kelly for your pet needs!!!!

I reached out to Tricia in a bit of a panic as our normal dog sitting options fell through very last minute. Not only did she make time to help, she went above and beyond to make sure our puppy feel loved. Right from the meet and greet my dog took to her like she was part of the family, and my travel anxiety was immediately put at ease as she ran through her care plan. We truly can't thank you enough, Tricia! You were amazing in every way!

Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!

About: I am a full time employee in an assisted living. I had my sweet dachshund for 17 years, and caring for her through her senior years taught me how to care and keep senior pets happy. Now I have a happy, energetic bernedoodle and two adorable bunnies at my parents house and always miss now that I am away. I I have been around both small and large dogs all of my life. Growing up I constantly house sat, fed and watered pets while my neighbors were away for pocket money. I look forward to becoming your dog’s new favorite sitter! I have work till 5pm and then the rest of the day I have time to take care of your pets. When I lived with my pets I would let them out in the yard in the mornings and as soon as I would get home. I made sure to give them attention and affection everyday. I have dealt with senior dogs and am well aware of their limits. It is my promise that I will make any dog of any age as comfortable and as happy as possible.

Kimberly was great! We've never used a pet-sitter before so were a little nervous, but Kimberly came over to meet us and our dog before we left and put our minds at ease. Our pup took to her right away when she visited and we appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked. She was a great communicator before and during her stay with our pup and sent so many great photos. Just got home from our trip and the house is spotless. Definitely recommend!

Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️

We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our dog received from Kaileigh. She was incredibly responsible, loving and clearly passionate about animals. We were especially grateful for the frequent updates, which reassured us that our dog was in great hands. It's clear she treats every pet as if they were her own and our dog absolutely adored her! We highly recommend Kaileigh to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away!

About: I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all kinds. My neighbors and family members have often relied on me taking care of their dogs while they’re away which gave me experience in being attentive and patients to different dogs needs. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, some exercise, or just a little extra attention during the day, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time so I am super flexible to work with you and your dogs schedule and routine. Whenever you need me I can try to accommodate you! In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while giving their pet plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure pets get enough outdoor time, stay hydrated, and feel relaxed while their owner is away.

About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)

We had Sonnie of the duo stay at our house with our pups and we’ve never come back from vacation before and had the dogs been so relaxed. Sonnie did such a phenomenal job caring for our animals and our house. We felt incredibly comfortable leaving them in Sonnie’s care after two pre-vacation visits where our pets simply could not get enough of Sonnie. Sonnie showed kindness and understanding, sent us daily updates and pictures. I would definitely hire Sonnie again when we go away or just to let the pups out or walk them when we have a long day away. Thanks so much Sonnie!

About: Highly trusted by my community, I have been tending to family and friend’s pets since I was a teenager. I have watched dogs for weeks at a time, even being flown to other states by clients. I work from home and love to hang out with my fur friends. I bring a calming vibe as I do healing work/ therapeutic work (online). Pets in my care receive a lot of company, love and attunement to their needs. I currently work part-time and always online, so I am very available to be present and available to your pets. I have client sessions that last 1-2 hours and will have 1 or 2 max a day. I am very adaptable and have lived in many countries, states and environments from farms to apartments to suburbs. I have tended to many different pets of all ages and needs; whatever your preferences, I can adjust to your needs and attune to your home.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have lots of experience with a variety of breeds and medical issues. In my past, I have pet sat for many of my neighbors and relatives and am always sure to treat them as if they were my own, giving them the care and comfort they deserve. I have tons of energy to chase your dog and play for days and yet a great love for those dogs who just like to lay down and be pet. Also, my background in gymnastics permits me to be great with large dogs, as I am quite strong. Let me know any concerns you have and special requirements that pertain to your dog. I am happy to fill all of his/her needs.

Sophie loves when Staci comes to take care of her! I can tell that Sophie really enjoys her company and has a lot of fun with her. There was an emergency situation with our house while we were away and some repairs needed to be made, and Staci was such a trooper during that time and went above and beyond to make sure that Sophie was happy and safe. Our cat Loki can be very timid but he was totally comfortable around Staci which was great to see. She is very trustworthy and dependable, and takes the cutest photos of our animals!

Our first pet sitter backed out at the last minute before our holiday vacation and Lauren was able to house sit and watch our babies without issue. She kept in touch with updates the whole time and tended to some other needed tasks around the house while we were gone. She was a lifesaver and I totally recommend using her! She gave our pets the attention and affection they needed while we were away.
