“Kylie is awesome!! I just got back from a 10 day trip and it was the best feeling knowing that my dogs were being taken care of so well and were so happy at home with Kylie. It is the second time she stayed at my home so that I could go away without worrying about my pups and I am so grateful for that! She sends daily pics and updates about the dogs and is always communicating and responds quickly to messages.”
7. Naomi S.
“Naomi is an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has owned pets for 20+ years, all of whom she treats as though they were her children. She has owned both large and small breed dogs and has always been dedicated to providing a comfortable and loving environment for her pups. Naomi is also very competent when it comes to recognizing canine body language and behaviors, helping to ensure the safety of all animals. She has also owned cats and, therefore, has experience caring for and managing the behaviors of both dogs and cats in the same home. Overall, I would entrust Naomi with my fur baby any day!”

10. Karl S.
“Karl house sat for our 2 cats and 1 dog for 4 days. My cats, normally very shy around strangers, were sleeping on his lap the first night! He must be a cat whisperer :). Karl was great with Gator, our senior lab. Gator sometimes has separation anxiety when we leave, but not this time. Hmmm, dog whisperer too? My one cat needs medication twice a day and Gator once a day. Karl ensured medications were taken and all instructions were followed to a T. Home was clean when we came home, almost like no one was here. BUT I know that's not true as we received daily updates with photos on all pets. THANKS Karl. We'll be seeing you again.”

“Tanya expertly cared for my sometimes challenging dog, including managing her medication and some last-minute dietary changes. Would absolutely recommend you hire her!”
13. Autum T.
About: From dogs to cats to rats to birds and everything in between, I've had experience and loved them all! With friends and family needing a extra hand or having a weekend expenditure I've always been the go to pet sitter. I'm always ready and excited to hop on any opportunity to make new furry -or feathery- or scaly - friends. I have experience in daily schedules along with medication times/administering for seniors or puppies and any age between. I have knowledge in training and behavior and have successfully trained my own pets along with friends and family with advice when needed. I'm always ready to take on requests and additional tasks as needed, just ask and I'll do what I can! I'm available most days sun up to sun down as my at home zoo has me up as soon as the sun shines! When I'm not caring for my fur and feather kids, I'm a wife/sister/aunt and I cook or craft to fill my time, why not it be also to play with and care for your furry kids! I'm always willing to move around my schedule as needed! I treat every pet I care for like my own, taking in consideration their specific needs and their pet parents. I always write down a list of routines, meds, and house rules and ask any additional questions to ensure the safety and happiness of everyone. And of course tell me all about your pet! What's their favorite treat, are they crazy for walks and playing outside or love to take a long nap? I'm all ears!
14. Robert S.
“Robert was an outstanding sitter. Our dog seemed to love him. He spent lots of time with her, walked her, and sent us many photos. He also took good care of our home — despite a complete power outage in our neighborhood for 24 of the 48 hours he was at our home. When the ice in the freezer melted and leaked from the freezer, he took the initiative to clean it up and make sure it didn’t become a bigger problem damaging the wood floors.”
15. Beth P.
“Beth is so easy to get along with she’s always available and I can trust her with the dog and my dog paulie always has someone to play with when he is at her house plus she takes him on long walks and gives him treats which makes him super happy”
16. Chaitanya B.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since a long time. I take my dog for runs and walks for 7-8 miles daily. I can also take your dog for hiking if you want me to. I work from home on Fridays and Monday which is suitable for me since I am at home for the whole weekend and provide 24x7 care to the pets. I have friendly Australian shepherd who loves to play and is filled with high energy. My apartment has ample of space for pets to play around.
17. Grace D.
“Grace took amazing care of our dog and house, we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
18. Diana S.
“The boys were happy and chill when we came home, which after a first puppy sitter stay was super appreciated and a great sign. So lucky to have found a good house/pupper sitter the first time! :D”
19. Annette M.
“Annette is a perfect dog caregiver! She has had multiple dogs of her own, and regularly cares for her grand-doggies, and loves them as if they were her own. She is a genuine & loving person, who is very responsible and nurturing, and will make your pup feel comfortable and happily cared for! She regularly watches my dog and we couldn't be happier with her! I highly recommend Annette for any of your doggie-care needs.”

“Thank you so much for babysitting my pups on such a short notice, taking great care of them and sending cute pictures!”
