“Anna was amazing!! We had a few situations arise that she was so gracious to adjust to meet the needs of our fur babies. I cannot recommend her enough and brag on the care and love she gave our dogs!”
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Allison was amazing! She stopped by to check in on my cat, Nuts, while I was out of town and did a great job. She was very communicative, sending me plenty of updates and photos so I knew Nuts was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m away.”
“Felicia was awesome !! she took care of our sweet pup when we visit TN to attend a UT game. i was so confident in our pups care and got great updates and photos during her visits. i will 10000% hire Felicia again when we return to TN.”
“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”
“Reagan was an excellent petsitter for my two cats. She sent thorough updates and cute pictures each day. My cats were both happy when I returned, and not stressed like they have been with other sitters. I can tell she really took good care of them.”
“Oh, my pups were just so happy to see Jessi, and my younger dog who always barks with new people, did not bark at all! Jessi was very kind and had a calm demeanor with my senior pup and my anxious pup:) I will definitely request their help again!”

About: I have 2 dogs at home and petsit frequently for friends and family! I sometimes do overnight stays and care and other times just check ins and walks! I have time available to petsit mornings, nights and during lunch hours. I am in town until January 10th before I go back to school! In my pet sitting experiences I have tended to pets (dogs, cats, other pets) and made sure they were fed, cared for, entertained, and safe.
“Ezra was fantastic! Very flexible with the time of seeing my pet marbles and dealing with a tricky situation to get in through the leasing office over the thanksgiving week! Sent updates, with pictures every day and was always so kind when we exchanged messages. If you are looking for someone to watch your animal while you are away I 100% recommend!”
“Helena was an amazing sitter for our 2 cats! She was timely, kind, and great with following our care instructions! Our boys just took right to her! We were worried to leave them as our one cat needs medication daily, but Helena handled it with ease! We will definitely be booking with her again next time!”
“Brooke did a great job with my three kitties. She was very consistent and reliable. It has really helped to further socialize these feral kittens that I brought into my house. Grateful for her help!”
About: Caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m good with puppies who need structure and patience and I’m gentle and consistent with senior pets. I pay attention to routines and the small things that help animals feel safe. What sets me apart is how reliable and calm I am and how quickly pets relax around me. Your pet will be treated like my own. My schedule varies, during the holiday season just request me and I’d love to work around it! I am a 19 year old, pet loving, college student! Here’s a short, genuine version that sounds natural: I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable whether I’m in my home or yours. I keep their routine the same, watch them closely and give them a calm environment so they can relax. I pay attention to their comfort, keep their space clean and always make sure they’re secure and cared for. You can trust that your pet is in good hands.
“If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly pet sitter who can cozy up to even the shyest kitty, Angela is your sitter. She goes above and beyond and even brings in the mail and waters your plants. Will be contacting her for future pet sitting needs.”

Michaela is truly great. I could tell she really cared about Odin and his well being. She is VERY flexible and interacted with me the entire time. Thank you for putting up with this high maintenance dog mom! I really appreciate you and all you did for Odin! Will book with her again!
Ev really saved us this holiday season! Our normal sitter had something come up last minute so we had to find someone same day on Christmas Eve! Ev responded very quickly and took such great care of our cat over the holiday. I told Ev that there was no way our outdoor cat would interact with her, but one day later she sent a picture of her petting our cat! Animals know kind souls.
We had an excellent experience Hannah and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Caring for multiple cats can be a challenge, but she handled it effortlessly with patience, organization, and genuine affection. She took the time to understand each cat’s individual personality, needs, and routines, ensuring everyone received the attention and care they required. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and we returned home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats. It was clear they felt comfortable and secure in her care. Professional, dependable, and truly kind, she went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again.
Lilly was absolutely amazing! From the moment my pup met her, he fell in love with her! And I could tell she treated him so well while we were gone! She kept in great contact and sent plenty of pictures of my boy to keep my mind at ease while I was away! I even had a slight panic one night with my pup, and she went above and beyond to help! I highly recommend her!!
