“Ricardo did an excellent job with my two boys. While one is older with a grumpy attitude and the other is skittish, Ricardo did an awesome job trying to coax them out of their shell. I will absolutely consider rebooking with Ricardo in the future.”
About: I've had experience caring for pets most of my life, from taking care of family dogs, sitting for friends and family, and caring for my friends cat that I currently live with. I work full time during the week from about 8 am - 4 pm. I work from home Monday and Friday, so I am available during those days to sit, do drop-ins, or take walks. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during the other week days after my work hours. My weekends are free and my schedule can be planned as you need. I treat all animals as if they are my own or someone's close to me. I love all types of dogs and cats and would be thrilled to get the chance to help you and make sure they're happy and well cared for!
“Anna was fantastic! Such a reliable, responsible and caring sitter. My dog had an amazing week with her. She provided timely updates, photos and was the perfect host for my dog. She took my dog on walks and had play dates with her dog! It makes being away so easy when you know your pet is in great hands! I would 100% recommend Anna and will be using her again! A+”
About: I've taken care of animals for the majority of my life and take pride in giving them the best. I've worked with canines, felines and exotics in the past at my previous jobs. I also worked at a vet clinic and cherished my time with pets and getting to know their owners. It would be my pleasure to offer my services for walks, drop ins and/or house sitting! Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I do have a few dates I'm booked for already but happy to work with you to get your pet(s) what they need. First and foremost, I want to make sure we are both on the same page for how your home works, what your pet needs and how I can make it the most enjoyable experience for all involved! I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and the least stressed as possible while you're away. I will read your pet's body language, respect their wishes and make sure they're happy. ☺️
“Colene came and stayed with my sweet girl who was still recovering from surgery. She took amazing care of her and gave her all the needed snuggles while we were away for a few hours.”
“Reliable, timely and phenomenal with our old men. Olivia was a great communicator and watched my dogs during a tornado! Definitely someone I’d trust in unexpected circumstances.”
“Michelle was great! I needed a sitter at the last minute and Michelle was able to help out. She kept us up to date while we were gone and sent pictures. She was a wonderful house guest as well. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’m offering dog sitting, cat sitting, animal boarding, and dog walking services to help earn some money for college. I have 4-5 years of experience with animal care! I grew up around them, and I even trained my Great Pyrenees myself. I’ve always loved animals, no matter the size, and I’ve had great reviews from people I’ve helped in the past. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight care, or just checking in, I’m comfortable with it all and always make sure pets feel safe and loved. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and being able to do this work over the summer would really help me out while I’m working toward my degree. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and experienced to care for your pets, I’d love to chat! I am currently working part time, with a lot of free time on my hands! Your pets will always be my number one priority, and they will get a lot of attention! I try to accommodate to work around your pet’s schedule! I have a dog park in my apartment complex where your fur babies can run around! They are always allowed on my bed, couch, and in my car. I have room for crates if needed, and make sure your pup feels safe with me at all times!
“Michelle was amazing with our dogs including one who can have some behavioral/aggression issues. She took them on walks, sent plenty of updates and went above and beyond for the doggos. We will definitely request her in the future!”
“Had an awesome experience with Molly and her dog Izzi! She sent photos and videos throughout dog sitting at my apartment, which eased my nervousness of leaving her alone for the first time. She did really well with my dog and her social anxiety. I will definitely be rehiring her again for future needs! 10/10 Highly recommended.”
“Kate was a wonderful sitter for our very anxious and senior pit bull. She communicated any challenge she was having (he can be challenging to get up and move around, go outside, eat when we are gone etc.). Her own little senior doggy was wonderful companionship to our guy as well. Would definitely recommend Kate’s service to others. ?”
“She took such great care of my anxious doggo while there were unforeseen housing issues in my home. She was flexible and very understanding. Would love to work with her again!”
“Cortney did a fantastic job watching our kittens, Tiffany & Co, in our home. She communicated often about how my girls were doing and shared some great pictures and videos. I'd book her again!”
“Alyssa does such a great job with my anxious dog! She sends me lots of updates and Milo always seems very well taken care of when I get home.”
“Taylor was amazing with our pups! We have two larger dogs who love to wrestle with each other as much as they love to snuggle. Taylor didn’t seem phased by their excitability or rough-and-tumble play with each other. She watched them while we were away for a week and they seemed to not be bothered by our absence in the photos she sent! Taylor asked a lot of questions about our dogs during the meet and great to make sure she would be able to care for them. Her communication was great and we would definitely book her again.”
“We’ve never felt comfortable leaving our reactive pup with anyone until we saw how well he did with Mimi during our intro visits. She watched both of our dogs over a long weekend and had great communication and kept us updated how things were going. We will definitely reach out to Mimi in the future when we need a sitter!”
“Emily was great! She left my home clean, as she found it, and left me a happy doggo! She was easy to communicate with and had no issues with my boy.”
“Sarah was great with my Rottie Portia while I was away for work. Received text updates and pictures so I knew everything was okay. Portia seemed happy and relaxed when I returned. House was very clean and tidy as it was when I left. Sarah is very organized and responsive, and I'd love to book her again!”
“Kiley was great. I felt like Boston was in good hands. He was very happy when we returned.”
“Kevin is a great dog caretaker. Sammy and Bella love him We are very comfortable having Kevin caring for our dogs. I have been thru numerous sitters and without a doubt Kevin is THE BEST”

4. Tia B.
“Despite our 1 year old GSP being quite the handful, Tia was able to give her lots of exercise and play time in the backyard, get her fed, and back in her kennel for a nap. As a pet owner, it's also so helpful knowing that Tia has spent years working in a vet clinic - I know that whatever comes up with a crazy pup, she can handle it!”

8. Rai S.
“Rai is a very sweet and kind person. Not only can she handle kids very well, she is absolutely amazing with any animal. Rai pet sat for my Golden Retriever and orange tabby cat, and it’s safe to say they were both sad when her job was done! She is extremely detail oriented and very patient. She can follow any instructions you provide her with. She is caring, and made sure to play with my animals and give them lots of love and attention, rather than just “watching” them. I highly recommended her services! Her pricing is absolutely worth it, and you will never have to think about your pup/kitty’s well being when they’re with her.”
