Alissa did a wonderful job of taking care of our cat. She kept us updated on him daily, with photos. She was diligent with keeping everything clean as well. We will be asking for her to come back again very soon. I highly recommend.

Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.

In a single phrase, Cheyenne was "PERFECTLY AWESOME"!!! She was not only prompt, but also caring and attentive to my dog's needs. And, Cheyenne was especially affectionate toward Lilly, which Lilly certainly enjoyed. Too bad there was only five stars to be given! I will DEFINITELY want to book Cheyenne in the future!

About: I’ve grown up with pets, both dogs and cats, my entire life. I house sit for family members with pets and take it upon myself to love and care for them like they are my own. I love to take them on adventures in the car, to walking trails or lakes to engage with them! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday in office with one day to work from home. I can provide evening and night care, as well as weekends! I can be flexible as well to stop in at nights or early mornings for your pet needs. I am willing and able to house sit and adjust myself for your pet’s schedule and comfort. I have one dog and one cat in my home who are cared for around the clock. I love taking my dog for visits to different state parks or hiking trails!

I recently had Jill watch my puppy, Fritz, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. Jill ensured Fritz always had food and let him out for bathroom breaks. She was very accommodating to our needs and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout. I highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

About: My dogs have been with me for 5 years now, I’ve gone through the puppy stage with them so I understand how to care for dogs under certain circumstances. I also volunteer at the animal shelter! I’m also trained in giving dogs insulin shots! I’m usually available for dog walking and check ins every weekday in the afternoon and all day on weekends! I’m currently a senior in high school, I am free usually anytime after 2:30 on weekdays and I’m usually free all day during the weekend. Thank you! My home has a fenced yard that my dogs have easy access to through a doggy door, if your dog isn’t comfortable with using a doggy door, I can always bring him/her out through the door. Both of my dogs are very friendly, but if they don’t get along I can always crate them or put a gate separating them.

About: Experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I've worked in animal rescue, done trap-neuter-release, cared for a colony of feral cats for a decade, and fostered more kittens and adult cats than I can count. I offer visits, walks, overnight stays, or I can live at your house while you are away. I am a nature and wildlife photographer so I have gotten to know, to one degree or the other, all of the animals around my home, which, I believe, helps to make me comfortable with all types of pets. I also offer pet portraits! I have experience with all of the usual pets, plus a few unusual ones too. I will take good care of your dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small animals and even tarantulas or insects. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and I will let you know how the visits are going. Your pets will be safe and well cared for with me. I have a regular part time job with a flexible schedule so can be available just about anytime. Let me know what you need and we can work it out. Home visits run about a 1/2 an hour and include, depending upon your pet, a walk, poop scoop, litter box cleaning, feeding, watering and treat dispensing, and pats and cuddles.

About: I've had multiple dogs in my home since I was born, and I am very passionate about taking care of them. I feed them, bathe them, walk them, and play with them. I'm a college student on summer break so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have a chihuahua and two golden retrievers at home.

About: I have cared for my own dogs in my family for the past ten years and have sat animals in my extended family. It is important to leave your furry family members in the trusted care of your sitter or walker which is why I treat your pets like my own. I currently work from home two days a week and am available on weekends. My weeks are flexible and can do early morning or evening drop ins. In my own home we make sure our furry friends are comfortable- we walk on leashes and when in a fenced in yard will always keep an eye on them!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I am currently a fully online student and I control my own schedule. My calender is open for whatever days you need! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 😊 I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.

Lindsey was fantastic - responsible, reliable and communicative. You couldn't ask for more in someone helping care for you pet or be in your home. I'd be lucky to have her back anytime.
