Hanna was fantastic with Kiwi! She was communicative and shared photos when I asked. When I got back home, the house was just the way we left it. She was very easy to work with and very kind. I will absolutely be using Hanna’s services again.

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember — from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I have worked with dogs of different temperaments and am happy to accommodate anything that makes your pup feel safe and confident. I understand their different personalities, routines, and little quirks that make each one special. Whether your pup needs long walks, energetic playtime, or calm company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Think of me as their second-best friend when you can’t be there! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have ample time and love spending it with animals. I’m flexible throughout the day, so I can give pets the attention, walks, feeding, and playtime they need without rushing. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make it a priority in my schedule every day and week. I am happy to work with you for what suits your needs! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I give them plenty of attention and affection, and I always keep the home tidy and secure during my visits. I also send regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!

Renee did AMAZING dog sitting while I was out of town. She sent me constant updates and pictures, and asked questions when she was hesitant about something, which was so reassuring. I can tell my dog LOVED her. Plus she left my place so clean which was very appreciated! Will definitely be booking many more times

Jenna was an amazing sitter and very flexible with our confusing schedules. She watched our two pups for 6 days and they were happy as pie when we got home. She sent us cute pictures during our stay to ease my mind! When our flight was canceled and we had to stay away another day she was able to accommodate us which was a heaven sent. The dogs were taking medicine for a cold when we left and she gave it to them no problem. We would definitely ask her to stay with them next time we are away!

Jo is just a great person. Period. She always goes above and beyond in caring for and entertaining our dogs, whether it’s bringing over her best enrichment toys or finding our dog’s favorite Real Housewives franchise to watch together. For this house sitting, Jo watched our newer puppy for the first time. He can be vocally reactive on walks and has some unique methods for managing his behavior. For Jo, it was no sweat. And during this house stay, my husband and I happened to be in Puerto Vallarta during the recent cartel rampage. Not only did Jo make sure that our doggos would be cared for regardless of when we made it back to the States, but she also made a genuine effort to check in on our general well-being. Like I said, she’s just a great person.

About: Ive had a variety of pets in my life, including birds, fish and hamsters. I’ve never had a dog or cat of my own, but have always wanted one. I’ve dog-sat for friends and family consistently throughout my life, and have always had a special connection with dogs in particular. I hope to have a dog of my own one day. But until I can truly dedicate the time, space and finances to making sure they have the best life possible, I can find peace in playing with and taking care of any dog who might need my help. I work remotely full-time as a graphic designer, so as long as I have my laptop and Wi-Fi, traveling to a home is not a problem. It also will allow me to take many breaks to walk or play with your dog as much as they may need. I can only accommodate a smaller dog in my home, since I have other people in the house. When tending to a dog in a clients home, I can fit any preference they may have. Again, my only non-negotiable obligation is my full-time job, which is remote.

Casey was amazing with my very attached Doberman. I really appreciated that she took the time to come for a meet and greet beforehand so she could get to know him and make sure he felt comfortable. She was very thorough and i could tell she really cared about providing the best care. She kept me updated with detailed messages and adorable pictures and videos that gave me peace of mind. She treated my home with respect. I appreciate her communication, reliability, and kindness and would trust her with my pup again.

Elijah has watched our two dogs in our home more than once and it is a great peace of mind to know that the dogs and our house are in good hands while we are away! Elijah is responsive and professional. Both our dogs are a little difficult each in their own way but she has handled them very well and we appreciate her for taking good care of them while we are away.

Nicole was the perfect houseguest and dog sitter for our time away from home! We got frequent updates and summaries of our pup, Maurice’s, behavior and care and our home was left truly spotless when we returned. It was our first time leaving Maurice with someone outside of close friends and family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend her over and over again! Thank you so much, Nicole!
