“Amy communicated promptly and frequently. Maizie appeared very well taken care of and seemed very happy when we returned. Amy stayed at the house and it was just as we left it. We were very happy with her.”
“Jayce was a wonderful dog sitter. She was so communicative and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to watch your pups :)”
About: I have taken care of a variety of different breeds of both cats and dogs! All ages ranging from a few months old to senior pups and cats! I have also had to administer medication and special attention to my own fur babies so I know the dedication and effort it takes to make sure all animals are well taken care of! I work full time from 7:30am-4pm, Monday through Friday! I have an hour lunch break to go home and check on pets and have all of my afternoons free to be available to give animals lots of love and care! I tend to spoil my fur babies! I make sure their water and food are fresh and in perfect moderation. My cat Remy has asthma and a heart condition so I am also very observant of animals and know what signs to look for if anything may be uncomfy or them! I am very familiar in giving liquid or pill medication if needed and have also used an inhaler for my cat frequently. For my healthy babies I make sure they get lots of love and attention every second I am with them!
“Patty was absolutely amazing. Having an elderly dog, you always worry on how they will handle change and being around someone new. Patty took wonderful care of Tank and his needs. I will definitely use her again and refer her to all of my friends.”
“Shannon is absolutely amazing. I’m so glad I picked her. Achilles adores her and we are looking forward to having her next time! Very communicative and sends pictures regularly. Highly recommend!”
“Ariela kept our two dogs in our home while we traveled for a week. She kept me thoroughly updated on our dogs and house throughout the trip. She treated our dogs like her own and based on the pictures our dogs loved her, too! Highly recommend.”
“Lenora did a great job of taking care of our two Goldendoodles while we were away on vacation for a week. During her overnight stays she went above and beyond by spending extra time with them and ensuring they got all the snuggles and love they needed. She also took great care of our home. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
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!
“Alena did a wonderful job of watching my two goldens for four days. She walked them for us in the morning and hung out with them. Alena sent me photos and was a total love bug with them!! So happy I was able to enjoy my trip in peace knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Alena caring after your pets!”
“Cassandra was great! She was so good with our 3 American Mastiffs and they were so at ease with her from the start. My pups have anxiety around strangers but were much more comfortable with her from the initial meet & greet. Even our youngest Birdie let Cassandra pet her. She was respectful of our home and I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pets. Thanks Cassandra!”
“Amazing! Our experience with Jennifer was incredible. We can’t say enough great things about her! She scheduled a meet and greet and we knew right away she was a perfect fit. She is prompt, communicates effectively, and left our place perfectly tidy. Our dog, Lark, LOVED her! Lark is pretty easy going, but is dog reactive when walking outside on a leash. Jennifer took great care with her needs and needy traits! We highly recommend Jennifer. She’s responsible and such a special gal. We’ve already booked again.”
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.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep sense of responsibility, patience, and genuine love for animals. I focus not just on basic care like feeding and walking, but also on providing companionship, emotional comfort, and personalized attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m attentive to details like behavioral changes or health concerns, and I communicate clearly with pet owners to ensure peace of mind. My calm, caring approach helps pets feel safe, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I work part-time, and create my own schedule, so I’m able to offer flexible scheduling and dedicate plenty of focused time to your pets. This allows me to be available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as provide extra attention and care when needed. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free from hazards — paying attention to things like securing doors, keeping unsafe foods or items out of reach, and creating a comfortable space tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow any specific instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and behavior preferences. I also prioritize open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and promptly addressing any concerns. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience where pets feel loved, secure, and at ease.
About: Hello, I am Toni, a dedicated pet sitter with two years of experience. I began my journey assisting my boyfriend and quickly fell in love with caring for animals. As I embark on my own pet sitting venture, I am confident that your beloved pet will receive exceptional care and attention from me. I'm currently working part-time from home and pursuing certification in dog training, allowing me ample time to care for your fur baby.I’m really flexible and will tailor to your needs I have a fenced-in backyard, and due to the winter season, your pet will remain indoors, only going outside for potty breaks or walks and play time.
“Thomas was amazing! We had a sitter cancel on us last minute right before the holiday. Thomas saved the day & watched our two dogs. Our older dog can be a challenge and he was so sweet & patient with her. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time we had to leave our dog with someone other than family for an extended period while on vacation and we were nervous leaving him with a stranger, especially since he is an older dog with mild health issues. From the moment we met Linda she put our mind at ease and gave us the feeling she would do everything she could to make sure Leroy would be taken good care of while we were gone. She was very conscientious of trying to maintain his schedule to make sure he was comfortable and provided periodic updates to ease our minds. Linda left our house extremely neat and tidy, which was very much appreciated after a long day of traveling. We would absolutely ask Linda to watch our dog again!”

Taylor T.
“From the moment she began caring for our animals, it was clear that she brings not only responsibility and attentiveness to the role but also genuine warmth and affection. Taylor is incredibly reasonable—she follows instructions carefully, communicates clearly, and always makes sure the needs of each pet are met with care and consistency. What sets Taylor apart, though, is her deep love for animals. Whether it’s taking extra time to comfort a nervous pet or remembering the little quirks that make each animal unique, she approaches every task with compassion. Our pets absolutely adore her—and so do we! If you're looking for someone who is both dependable and loving, Taylor Tiffany is the perfect choice.”
Tonisha S.
“Toni is a great worker who strives until the work is done. On the days where I would work late, she would feed my dog, take her out, and clean up. She has shown me countless times that she is a hard worker and loves what she does. One time my small Boston Terrier ate a cap that blocked her airway. Toni got the cap out and did CPR. About two minutes later my dog was running around playing again. I still call her to this day when I need her, and we met almost 5 years ago. Toni doesn’t disappointed.”
