“Abraham makes it possible for me to relax while we are vacationing. He sends me updates on my dogs and lets me know that their routine is on scheduled for our little babies.”



“Gabriel was a very good pet sitter for this extended time. He was very attentive and communicated regularly to let us know our little one was in great hands. His service gave us the peace of mind that our home and our pet was well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Gabriel again!”


“Did a great job taking care of my pups and was able to book last minute. Only thing I would have asked for her to differently is call me when my not so easy dog was to anxious to go outside and had multiple accidents in our apartment. But that is my fault for not specifying.”


“Russell was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. He took great care of our dogs and even stayed with them during a hurricane while we were away. I cannot recommend Russell enough. He truly is one of a kind!!”


“Camryn is a wonderful sitter and super sweet. I know I don’t have to worry about my dogs or my home when they are in her care, which means the world to me! I feel very blessed to have found a sitter I can trust with my fur children. Thank you, Camryn, for being amazing!”


About: Hi there, I'm Caden. I am a mental health therapist in the area and I am passionate about helping both humans and animals. As a child I grew up on a ranch in the hill country and took care of dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and horses since I could walk. In 2021 my parents tragically lost their 2 dogs in the Ponderosa pet resort fire that claimed 75 animals. We were devastated and struggled to trust anyone but family to watch our pets. I know just how important a responsible and principled pet sitter is, and I am honored by those who allow me to watch their animal. As a therapist, I work a very odd schedule, but I can make it to your home atleast twice a day if needed, as well as spend the night. I can be flexible to accommodate your pets needs Unfortunately, I can not have your pets in my home because I wouldn't want to stress out my own animal. I am young and have lots of energy to play with your animals. I am responsible, a good communicator, and I keep my word. I am willing to adapt my care to your animals needs.

About: Hi, I'm Ella. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds, and my family has fostered countless dogs and cats, many of whom became permanent members of our home. I also have nearly a year of experience working at a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands on knowledge about animal behavior, health, and handling emergencies. I’m passionate about providing animals with the care, attention, and love they deserve. I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, so I’m available for early morning and evening visits on weekdays and completely free on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs whenever I can! I always try to create a calm, safe space where your pet can feel totally comfortable. I take the time to build trust with patience and consistency, and I stick closely to their routine and needs. Whether we’re hanging out at home or out for a walk, I’m always looking out for their safety, happiness, and overall well being.

“Sarah was very accommodating and took great care of the dogs while we were away. She communicated throughout her visit and sent us some pics! Very grateful for a good experience with Sarah!”


“You guys saved my life! I had to go out of town 3 weekends in a row and you guys came through in a clutch! You both are the greatest, my pups definitely loved staying with you! Thank you again!”


“Nova is consistent, tidy, and most importantly, a responsible and caring sitter for our very social cat. We received regular updates and photos and felt so relieved she was taking care of him during our trip.”


About: I have taken care of a variety of pets for as long as I can remember, but mostly dogs. I've handled rescues, high energy high drive dogs, low drive dogs, disabled dogs, and dogs somewhere in between it all. I've helped train dogs and I foster for k-9 angels when need be. I do not have a job other than pet sitting and running deliveries, so I can give my undivided attention to your pet! I am very flexible, but I have frequent doctor's appointments which means I may have to leave for up to two hours occaisionally. I can take your pet out as far as you need and I can hang at home with them as much as they need. When it comes to staying over I will leave the house exactly as clean as I arrived.

About: I have grown up with highly trained dogs my whole life, learned fun ways to incorporate pets into exercise, and even have experience watching older pets too. As a biology graduate and wildlife volunteer that has non-paid experience with years of sitting, I am looking to start a business in pet care. I currently work from home and love to spend lots of my free time outdoors! I am available for 7am-3pm walks during the week and various times on the weekends. I have a home with multiple rooms and space to play, as well as a large trail near my house and nearby parks. I am comfortable handling larger dogs in my home and we have zero carpet so no problem for accidents! No other pets in the house to worry about, frequent cleanings, and pet proof furniture.


“Cheyanne was great. Our dog has separation anxiety and we needed a sitter last minute for Christmas. She stayed with Leaf all day and provided us with updates to ease our minds. When we returned Leaf was happy. Would definitely have Cheyanne care for Leaf again!”


About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors cat and birds, I have many reptiles and Dogs and a cat myself. I know how to care for chickens and would love to help out any way I can!

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have been trusted when watching and caring for them since for the past three years.
