About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I currently work 9-5 Monday through Friday. I can provide morning and afternoon care visits as well as overnight care when needed. Morning visits would be early morning around 7am for breakfast and afternoon visits anywhere from 6-8pm for play time and dinner. Weekends I am available all day. I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut.
“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”
“Emma did me a great service and booked an overnight stay with my pup very last minute when my original sitter backed out. Emma took my pup on a drive and took great care of her. She also sent updates and pictures throughout the night while I was at work, which was greatly appreciated! Would book again!”
“Kelsey took wonderful care of our house and garden. She followed all our instructions conscientiously and even left us some gifts commemorating our dog Mr. Tigs who recently passed away. She's awesome!”
“Theresa was fantastic. She is a great communicator. She sent at least two updates with photos each day. I had complete confidence my puppy was in good hands. Most importantly, my puppy was very happy with her. They went on walks and played frequently keeping her happily exercised. When I returned home my puppy greeted me the same way she greats me after a 4-6 absence and was completely herself.”
“Taryn was great with our animals and very responsive with us while we were away. Can’t compliment her enough and appreciate with the quality of her work.”
“Maryn did an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs. When we returned the dogs were happy and the house was clean and neat. She is very responsive when you contact her. Great job!”
“Lulu was amazing! She gave us daily updates and pics of our animals and took excellent care of them. I felt very good about leaving them in her care. She will 100% be our first choice next time we need pet care!”
“Pamela was great! She was responsive via text and left the house in perfect shape. We felt reassured knowing our pups were in good hands while we were away for a whole week!”
“Jennifer took care of our 2 dogs and home for a few days - she did a fantastic job! She communicates regularly with pictures and information which is super helpful and comforting while being away. We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“We had never used Rover before, so we were super nervous how it would work with our fur babies. Erin eased our worries completely, even doing a test run for an hour before our vacation! One of our girls can be kind of hesitant/growly at people she doesn't know, but she warmed up to Erin immediately. The entire time we were gone, Erin sent us updates and pictures...making it so much easier for us to enjoy our vacation!! We can't say enough how amazing she is and we will definitely be using her again!!!”
“Evan was attentive to the boys, giving them lots of pets and cuddles, and he followed my recommended schedule and instructions precisely! Great communication throughout and the pups would love to have Evan as a dogsitter again in the future! Thank you for being there for them while we were away.”
“Abby took time to get to know my pack before we left. It was apparent she has a big heart for animals. My pets were well taken care of as evidenced by the pictures she sent. We have a skiddish kitty who was not only seen, but comfortable in all the pictures! I will use Abby again.”
“Charlett was great and trustworthy! She showed up on time, was quick to communicate, spent time hanging out with our dog, even texted pictures of him throughout our vacation. Charlett even drew us a picture of our dog. We will use her again!”
“We really appreciate the job Jackson and Abbey did watching our pets. We had to improvise the plan but they were great in adapting and overcoming all issues. We would definitely recommend them”
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”
“Noelle was a FANTASTIC petsitter. She took wonderful care of my dog and cat. I especially appreciated her communication - she sent great pictures while we were gone. Also, both pets were super chill when we returned—they sometimes are a little extra needy when I get back from a trip and that wasn’t the case this time. I totally credit the care and attention Noelle provided for this. I would definitely welcome Noelle to pet sit Banjo and Kitten again in the future.”

Kara is awesome! She stayed with my cat while I was overseas for nearly three weeks and, for the first time ever, I returned to a content boy who acted almost like I hadn’t even been gone (usually it takes about a week for him to express his disapproval and get over my absence/return). My cat is very particular on who he likes, but from the first night he was wrapped around her neck and snuggled in as if she were me! I received plenty of photo updates and he received tons of love and snuggles and consistent meals schedules as if I were home. Kara is just the best!
Kayma was incredibly attentive and clearly took great care of my cats. She handled insulin administration on time and consistently, which gave me a huge sense of ease while I was away. Her photos and check-ins were thoughtful and reassuring, and I always felt confident they were in good hands. I’d absolutely trust her to watch them again. She also kept my house incredibly tidy!
Kat did a great job with our potty training and teething puppy! She sent lots of pictures and updates while we were at work all day. She did some of the training we're working on. She communicated any questions she had about our puppy and handling her mischief. She even put everything in our DogLog app for us! She's coming back later this week and we're so grateful!
Hannah is an absolutely phenomenal pet sitter and house sitter, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We’ve used her several times now, and every time she exceeds our expectations. Our dog and two cats adore her and are completely relaxed and happy when she’s here, which gives us tremendous peace of mind when we’re away. She’s wonderfully attentive with the animals—making sure they’re fed on schedule, walked, played with, and genuinely loved on. She seems to understand each of their personalities, and it really shows in how excited they are to see her. The photo updates she sends are thoughtful and frequent enough that we never have to wonder how everyone is doing; we can see for ourselves that they’re safe and content. On top of that, Hannah takes excellent care of the house. Everything is spotless when we come home, and she’s respectful of our space and routines. We trust her completely—not just with our pets, but with our home. It’s rare to find someone who is this responsible, kind, and reliable. We recommend Hannah without hesitation to anyone looking for a true professional who will treat both your pets and your home as if they were her own.
Illa was professional and very responsible in taking care of my Maltese. She’s spoiled to death but that’s the way I like her to be and Illa was very respectful of that and contacted me about one issue which I definitely appreciated. It all worked out great and I definitely would recommend her for doing a wonderful job!
100000% would rebook! Sally was amazing, incredible, perfect!! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She stays with my dogs for 4 nights and my dogs were soo happy! She sent lots of photos and both my dogs were smiling and relaxing in each photo! Sally also left my house spotless and went above and beyond with cleaning!
