About: I’m an animal lover who enjoys playing and cuddling with fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual and unique needs of every animal I care for. I enjoy creating my own schedule and prioritize care into my routine to soothe, comfort, entertain and provide basic needs for every animal in my care. My availability are weekends and afternoons. Routine schedules for feeding, potty and play time are ideal so I and the animals know what’s coming, if you have a routine set I will gladly flow with what’s already in place.

“Felicia was so great watching our dog! She offered to do a meet and greet beforehand which was really helpful in making me more comfortable with having her in our home and seeing that our dog was okay with her. Felicia took pictures and some videos everyday, and sent them to us. She took Abby on a few hikes/walks and I really appreciated her involvement in doing that. I totally recommend Felicia! We’ll book her again!”

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
About: I’ve lived my whole life with dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. From spotting subtle signs of their needs to keeping them happy with playtime and walks, I know how to provide a safe, loving environment. Your pup will be in great hands with me! I work from home and can ensure there is plenty of time during the day to care for your pet! Since I can work anywhere, I can dedicate more time to this task and ensure your pet is being enriched and protected. Coming to your home, I would ensure only the task at hand is my priority. Whatever guidelines you set for allowing me into your home, I would follow with integrity. Your pet would be cared for as if they were my own!
“I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!”
“Mandie is absolutely incredible. Not only does she treat your dog like her own, but she ensures they feel loved like you would yourself. This is the second time Mandie took care of our Bean and I think we found our dog sitter for life. She sends so many pictures and videos and Bean is always so happy when she comes over to see him — I mean really, he gets more excited for her to come over than when my husband and I come home 😅. Mandie is also just a joy of a person who is punctual, clean, flexible with our hectic schedules and we are always happy to have her sit at our house. Seriously don’t think twice, and book Mandie to watch your pup ASAP. You won’t regret it!”
“Jordyn was great! She staying at my place and watched my two dogs while I was on a work trip. She was easy to communicate with and sent pics of my boys throughout her time with them. I will definitely be booking with Jordyn again! Thanks Jordyn.”
About: I’m the biggest pet lover I know! I frequently dog-sit and cat-sit for friends and neighbors. Throughout my life, I've had six dogs, two of whom now live with my parents. All of them have enjoyed wonderful lives! One of my special skills is out-energizing dogs during their walks. I love taking them around the lake and enjoying my neighborhood! I often visit my neighbors to check on their pets, change the kitty litter, or just spend time with them—especially when they go on vacation. I also feed and walk my friend's pets. See I create a detailed list of needs and wants for the pets, all discussed with the pet owner to ensure that I understand what is required for their care. I also like to get to know both the owner and the pet before providing care. This allows me to ask questions and gather the necessary information to properly care for the pet.
“We booked Luciano last minute when we were unable to get ahold of our old sitter. He responded quickly and was able to schedule a meet and greet & book us right away. Our pups loved him from the moment he walked in the door and he took such wonderful care of them! He sent photos and updates which allowed us to enjoy our vacation and not worry about our pups while we were gone. He also took great care of our apartment while we were away! If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable and caring pet sitter- look no further! We will definitely be booking Luciano again in the future!”

Shelisha F.Star Sitter
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”

Sarah L.
“I’ve trusted Sarah to care for my cat, Ruthie, and my dog, Nico, on numerous occasions. Each time, they’ve both been happy and excited to see her—evident by the tail wagging and head bumps they immediately greet her with. She treats them like they’re her own and knows exactly how to approach them to make them feel safe and loved. And when my cat exceeds her petting limit, Sarah always respects her boundaries. Every time I leave them with her, I know they’ll be taken care of just the way I would. Sarah is punctual, organized, and on top of loving your fur babies, she’ll make sure all their needs are met. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone!”

Alison was great with our two large dogs. Very attentive and a kept in touch with me the whole time. She stayed with them and rarely left the whole 5 days we were gone. And kept our home neat and tidy.
Jyana was a quick response and great at keeping us up to date on the pets’ day. She kept to their routine perfectly and gave them lots of cuddles. Even my very shy cat felt comfortable enough to make an appearance to her towards the end of the day. She was polite and a wonderful house guest as well; I highly recommend and would ask her help in the future
We give Sia our highest possible rating and recommendation. We asked her again as a Home Sitter for our dog over the weekend. She is the BEST you could ask for. She is exceptionally professional, trustworthy, and a very good communicator. When need arises, we definitely hire her again. Our Dog also recommends Sia.
Madison was great! We received updates on our puppies consistently and our house was left decent. We will book Madison again and recommend her as a sitter.
The MOST reliable & communicative!! Annie was phenomenal and we’d have her back any time. We are very particular and she exceeded all expectations with the upmost honesty and class. Everything you’d want in a pet sitter!
Luciano has been watching our dogs for years now and we can't imagine ever trusting someone else with them. We always know they're happy and well-cared for in our absence! Our dogs absolutely love him.
Madison made us feel so comfortable leaving our pets for a weekend away! Our doggie had to be on medications this go around and I almost didn’t want to leave her but I trust Madison so much and she did a great job with her care and gave us lots of updates. She’s just the best and all three of our girls love her!!
She is just great! Ginger was happy and well looked after! Natalie even did a little cleaning up! Just the best!! Will definitely be booking with her again!!
Janet did a fantastic job caring for our sassy corgi and our anxious hound. She is very caring, professional, and trustworthy. She provided regular updates and pictures of our pets, which was a comfort while we were away. We highly recommend Janet to care for your pets.
Shelly was great with my nervous pup! She definitely made Dixie feel more comfortable than most, and I will be booking again for sure!
Very friendly and competent. Sent frequent texts and pictures to let us know that our dogs were ok and having fun.
Marissa was excellent! Not only did she take great care of my boy, but she was respectful and mindful of our home while house sitting for the weekend. Kevin even got to play with her pup a little bit which was so nice! She also kept us updated with regular picture updates. Marissa will be our new go-to! Thanks!
