“The world needs more Emmas! Emma is simply the best. From the moment we connected with her, she was incredibly responsive and consistently demonstrated professionalism and a genuine commitment to what she does. Our dogs absolutely loved her! She kept us regularly updated, which brought us so much peace of mind while we were away. Knowing that someone so dedicated was caring for our furry family members made all the difference. What truly stood out was Emma’s proactive nature—she offered to help us with a situation we hadn’t even anticipated. That level of care goes far beyond what you typically expect when trusting someone with your pets. Emma went above and beyond in every way. I wholeheartedly recommend her. The world would truly be a better place with more people like Emma.”
“Jamie was great with our anxious pup! We’ve been working on her separation anxiety and Jamie was understanding and didn’t make us feel like overbearing dog-parents.”
“Ali did a really great job watching both my dog and apartment! She is very kind and responsible. I would highly recommend her for any services you may be considering!”
“Kurt was great! Clearly a dog lover! Quick response time, followed through with updates during his stay with Grover. Very Professinal. I felt at ease and am 100 percent satisfied with his work!”
“I couldn't be more pleased with the dog-sitting service we received! From the very start, Kat was professional, kind, and very attentive to my dog's needs. I had peace of mind the entire time I was away knowing that my dog was in such capable hands. Coco was well taken care of, with regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I received daily updates and photos that really put me at ease and made me feel connected even while I was away. It's clear that Kat has a true love for animals and understands them well. I highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!”
“Booked Arianna again! She made me feel so much more comfortable leaving my fur baby, Astro seems to be just fine getting spoiled by a new friend! So sad she is leaving town, she will be missed!!”
“Jess was amazing with my pups! Very timely about visits and understanding of their needs. One of my dogs can be a bit of a grouch and Jess gave him the time and space he needed to warm up to her and he quickly came around to wanting her attention. Lots of updates and pictures, very comforting all around. Will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I am an avid dog and cat lover that wants to live vicariously through your pet. I'm a full-time social worker whose career is caring for people in community. However, my passion doesn't stop there. I also love animals! I was born and raised with cats and dogs throughout my whole life. When caring for your dog or cat I treat them with love and care as if they were my own. I love giving lots of ear scratches and belly rubs along with taking them outdoors on walks. I feel better being in the outdoors hiking and if your loved one does too, I'd love to share my passion with them. I love animals of all ages and sizes. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concern you may have about myself or your loved one. I am working in person but can accommodate a certain schedule with advance notice to fit any fur baby into my flexible schedule. I have a reliable car that is dog friendly. I’m able to come to you, or pick up your loving pet. I have one fur baby to keep your pet company. I’m employed with the state and have passed all background checks. I will protect your fur baby as if one of my own.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life — I grew up with cats and my family has always had dogs, so taking care of pets has always felt natural to me. I’ve helped with everything from feeding and grooming to giving extra love to anxious or older pets who need a little more patience. I’m super reliable and detail-oriented, and I’ll always follow your instructions exactly while keeping you updated. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or just wants to chill, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll be working full-time soon during the week, but I’m looking to dedicate my weekends to pet care. I’m available Fridays after work, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I’m excited to spend that time helping care for pets. It’s the perfect way for me to do something I enjoy while staying flexible on weekends. Whenever I’m at someone else’s house, I always make sure their pets feel safe and cared for. At my brother’s, I’m always checking on his cats, and my grandparents’ dog loves me — we play all the time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always respect the space I’m in.
About: Hello! My name is Arica. I have been taking care of pets for many years. I love animals, especially dogs. I don’t have any kids and most of my time is spent at home. I do have a job but it is all remote and I can control the days and hours I work. I will treat your fur babies like my own and will make sure your house is looking as good as you left it. If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of the scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!
“Helen has watched our dog, Henry overnight for a long weekend twice now and has done a great job communicating and sending photos. She dropped off and picked him up from daycare and was able to manage his high energy personality. Would highly recommend!”
“Courtney was the perfect dog sitter! She watched our Roxy for 10 days while we were on vacation during a huge winter storm. Even though it was negative temps she still tried to walk her and she played in the snow with her and just gave her all the love.”
“Ryan is phenomenal! My puppers was so happy and relaxed when I got home, and the house was clean. Ryan sent lots of updates and pictures. I will be booking them in the future.”
About: I've loved animals my whole life. I have a lizard which I love dearly, and I grew up with a variety of family pets but I haven’t had a chance to get one on my own. I volunteer to watch my friends and families pets for multiple years, just starting to do it professionally! I hope to utilize this opportunity to get my animal fix while incorporating some exercise! I have experience with senior cats, dogs, including dogs with behavioral issues, as well as lizards, hamsters and the occasional bird or fish. I work another full time job that is a fixed schedule Monday through Friday, so l am capable of working regular hours for your and your pets! This will be a top priority and I am so excited to care for your pet and meet new animal lovers! I have house-sit for multiple friends and family members and I make sure to leave the house as I found it and make sure to abide and respect any house rules!
“Anissa is amazing! Very reliable and made things so easy for us. It had been years since someone other than family watched our dogs, but Anissa quickly put all anxiety at ease. Our fur babies and home were very well cared for while we were away.”
“Dwayne took care of my crew while attending to family business in another state. It was clear from the start what a great animal lover he is as my big dog immediately wanted to be besties. He got my little guys to warm up to him and sent lots of pics of them smiling. He was attentive in every way. He’s a terrific human and clearly takes great pride in his services. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be contacting Dwayne again for future needs. Do not hesitate to book with Dwayne!”
“Barb is delightful! She is warm and caring and obviously loves pets! Barb took great care of our two dogs and our home while we were gone. She is an excellent communicator and sent us daily updates and photos. We are so glad to have found Barb and highly recommend her!”

Jess was very dependable. Our dog is a little old and set in his ways and Jess was patient with him. She was able to get him moving while we were gone even though he had just met her. We especially appreciated how well she kept us informed about our dog while we were away. We will call on Jess again and recommend her to others.

Kristen was a lifesaver for my household when I had to extend my trip due to a family emergency. She didn’t hesitate to continue house-sitting since it worked for her schedule. I was able to easily focus on my family knowing that my two cats were safe and comfortable in Kristen’s capable care. She is responsible and communicative, even watering a houseplant that she noticed was parched. I will happily continue working with Kristen whenever I need my cats looked after!
Barb was excellent! She accepted our request quickly and took the time to come over and meet us, our dog, and walk through the house/stay plans. She was so kind to our dog and understanding of the little quirks we were worried about. She kept us updated while we were away and sent pics. We came home to a very calm and safe dog which is every dog parents dream. We are so thankful for her kindness and expertise.
We couldn’t be happier with how well Maelyn worked out as our pet sitter for the week. There were no issues, she was easy to communicate with, and we got plenty of photos and updates as the week went on. We came home to a happy dog and our house was exactly the way we left it, maybe even a little cleaner. We will absolutely be looking to book Maelyn again next time we decide to travel, she is an excellent dog sitter and I would recommend her to anyone.
Oh my goodness… I can not say enough wonderful things about Amelia. She is dependable, kind and so caring. She stayed in our home and it was great to come home to a well kept house. She kept us updated on Dot and Dot loves her… so do we. We will continue to use her for every occasion. Thank you Amelia, it has been great getting to know you.
