“Ashleigh was great to work with and she took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was flexible when I needed a couple extra drop in visits on short notice. So thankful!”
“Shannon is WONDERFUL!! From the very first drop in, she relieved all of my fears about using the service for the first time and sent me such wonderful pictures of my babies. She kept my cats happy and feeling loved. I definitely recommend her, and will be requesting her services in the future!! :)”
“Super Rover! Cleans my pet Roomba’s if my cats have an upset tummy or a hair ball. Less hair on the carpets are always a good way when you come back from a vacation. She is so great!”
“Can't say enough good things, every day she's stopped in to check on my pup, he's had a great day playing fetch, running around, getting some of his energy out. His commands have gotten better, crate training better, and she's given me good tips and tricks that she's observed spending time with my pup. Also takes and sends great little videos and pictures of my pup playing or being crazy whenever she does a drop in.”
“Ariela is definitely someone who understands your situation and goes above and beyond to make your your Fur-Babies are comfortable. I love how she communicates with us and she even invited us over to see our fur babies whenever we want. I highly recommend her and definitely will be coming to her whenever I need her !”
About: Animal lover with 10+ years’ experience. Former clinic caretaker, trusted by 5 families for pet and house sitting, including chickens! Proud dog mom of two. I work remotely, so I’m flexible for walks, feeding, and cuddles—happy to stay with your pets during the day while house sitting, just need wifi! I have a sweet Golden Irish (1.5 yrs) and gentle 12-year-old Husky. Both are friendly with a big fenced yard—perfect if yours needs a playmate!
About: Hi! I’m Alena, a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and health needs. I grew up with a sweet, high-energy beagle and now care for two amazing senior dogs—a 14-year-old chihuahua and a 9-year-old Dutch shepherd with neurological issues. Both are blind, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets who need a little extra support. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a slow-moving senior, I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your fur baby like they’re my own! Pet care is woven into my daily routine—I’m a full-time pet parent! Caring for my two senior dogs is a big part of my day, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure their needs are met with love and consistency. From morning feedings and potty breaks to medication, gentle walks, and cozy cuddle time, I’m used to being attentive and flexible. Because I’m home the majority of the time, I can give your pet consistent care and companionship throughout the day, just like I do for my own. When I’m caring for pets during walks or drop-in visits, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like I do with my own dogs. For walks, I pay close attention to the dog’s pace, energy level, and surroundings, making sure they get exercise without feeling overwhelmed—especially for seniors or dogs with special needs. I always use secure leashes and harnesses and steer clear of busy areas unless your dog enjoys them. During drop-ins, I follow your routine closely—whether that means feeding, giving meds, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.
About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.
“Christy is absolutely amazing at what she does! I trust her completely with my home and my animals! She always sends detailed messages about how my kitties are doing each day and knowing my home and cats are in such good hands is such a blessing!”
“Jessica was a diligent, loving sitter with a talent for snapping action shots of my kitties at play. She was careful to ensure special diets were observed and both kitties got equal attention/exercise, even though Keet is much whinier than Sonny. I enjoyed lots of pictures while I was away and I felt at ease k owing they were in loving care. She was flexible, communicative, and such a kind person. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I’ve never not owned dogs and cats. I’ve been with rescues and fosters, I love taking care of animals no matter the type, they all have their own individual big personalities and I adore that, I love getting to know an animal. When I was 13, I played a big role in caring for our puppy, Ashes. I have experience training her, and following puppy feeding and potty schedules. Some of our fosters have been elderly. To me it’s really important to be gentle with them. They are just as worthy of love as any other. Same goes for special needs dogs. We fostered a boxer named Carly, who was blind. She was one of my favorite fosters. I work full-time, so I’m not able to accept house sitting requests. I can do drop-ins if I can work it around my schedule a little, as I work 5-7hour shifts. As I’m looking to care for pets in client’s homes, I plan to follow the basic rules for that said pet. To each their own. Obviously, while outside, the dog should be leashed unless we are in a fenced and safe environment. I follow feeding, sleep, play, and exercise schedules as directed.
About: I take care of different pets in my day to day life as well as in my past. I currently work at an animal hospital and have experience with animals And given medications and treatments . I currently work and have a flexible schedule most weeks. I do have the option to change my schedule if needed based on what you need me to do. I am a clean person who can follow rules and directions very well. I will take care your pet or pets as if they were my own.
