“Paige was beyond caring, reliable and professional, and I would recommend her highly. Great communicator, organized, and let us enjoy a brief trip knowing our big dog was in good hands. Her photo updates made us smile, and I will absolutely book her in the future.”

“Cristen again is amazing. We have two Great Danes who demand attention and Cristen steps right up and gives it. We got new place and Cristen did great in it and kept it clean and great. Our kids love having her and are always pooped out when we get back. So glad we found Cristen!!!”

“Brooke was absolutely wonderful!!! Leaving our 7-year-old Japanese Akita with someone new was a big decision for us, but Brooke exceeded all of our expectations. She took the time to build trust with Eoshi, and it was clear from her updates that she genuinely cared about his well-being. When we returned home, Eoshi was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He ate well, enjoyed plenty of walks, and seemed completely comfortable with Brooke. We were especially happy to see that they developed such a great bond while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and she even started a load of laundry with the bed linens before leaving, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Brooke with Eoshi again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Sage was amazing! This is the first time we used her as a doggie sitter for our baby Gracie, she was so great taking care of her and we look forward to using Sage again. In our opinion, she is the BEST!!! 🩷😊🐶”

“Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!”

“Anna was amazing, not only did she show up on time, but she sent me several check ins throughout the night. She made sure that I knew that my Furkid was happy and safe. She followed the directions I left for her to the T. Anna was extremely punctual and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of pet sitting. She was the epitome of a perfect pet sitter. I will definitely book her again ❤️”

“Anna was a great help to all of us when she cared for our pups… CC & Gus. She was good with both dogs, kept them happy and safe plus well fed. She seemed to enjoy her time with them and sent pictures. She stayed with them while we were gone a couple of days which made it possible for us to enjoy our time since we knew the dogs were well taken care of. Thanks Anna!”

“Lara cared for our dogs for the first time this weekend, and we were so impressed by her. She managed our 3 high-maintenance dogs without a problem and we came home to a happy and relaxed group! (And a very clean house). She will be our go-to sitter moving forward. Don’t hesitate to book her!”

“Olivia was perfect in every way! Especially because it was my first time leaving my puppy for an overnight trip. Her communication, presence and genuine care allowed me to feel confident going away. She also made it feel so natural to synch up with the rhythm and schedule my pup and I had going which I have found rare, but so essential. And he is a growing 5-6 month old puppy. I will absolutely reach out to her first the next time I go away or need a sitter for my pup.”


About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years. I love the joy they bring to others. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I would love to help care for your dog, whether it’s sitting or walking. I am pursuing pet care full time so my schedule is flexible for walks and pet sitting. I will work with you to make sure your dog is taken care of and happy! I am very thorough in making sure every pet has a safe and comfortable space. I have a friendly dog of my own and can bring him along if your pet wants a play buddy!

“Kristyn is amazing! We’ve had her back many times to house sit our large dogs (one very elderly). She’s communicative and checks in with pics of the dogs, the house is always left spotless, and the dogs seem relaxed and calm when we return. We love Kristyn!”

“Audrey did an amazing job with our dog, Poe. He can be a bit standoffish at first when meeting new people. She was patient with him and he eventually warmed up to her and became his sweet self again! She also sent lots of photos throughout the weekend, which I really appreciated!”

About: Hi there! I’ve cared for animals of all ages in households with multiple cats and dogs, also including exotic pets. I grew up with a pet husky and miniature poodle, and have experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work in the morning/ early afternoon as a Barista ~20 hours a week. I am generally free early morning (before 8am), and afternoon-nighttime. I am off ~3 days a week (usually between Monday-Thursday) during which I can give extra time and attention to pet care. I have years of experience caring for and walking all kinds of dogs and am very attentive to the emotions and needs of each animal.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes working with Border Collies and Great Pyrenees in a ranch setting, where they herded and guarded sheep, as well as providing professional care at a busy dog daycare. I also have extensive experience caring for large-breed family dogs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I believe every pet deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. My goal is to make every walk or visit a positive experience so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. Thanks for stopping by my profile! I work part-time caring for dogs professionally, so spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. I may also be available on my workdays depending on my schedule. I appreciate at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my day and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether your companion is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal’s unique personality, communication style, and routines so they feel comfortable and understood. Every dog is different, so my first priority is building trust. When we first meet, I give each dog the time and space they need while I observe their personality, body language, and comfort level. From there, I adjust my approach to match what helps them feel safe and confident. I believe in treating every dog with kindness, respect, and clear boundaries. I use positive reinforcement—including praise, encouragement, and treats when appropriate—to reinforce good behavior. Rather than relying on punishment, I focus on redirecting unwanted behaviors and setting dogs up for success in a calm, consistent way. Whether we’re playing at home or out on a walk, safety always comes first. I enjoy interactive play while maintaining a safe environment, and I tailor each walk to the individual dog. Some dogs are happiest walking calmly at my side, while others enjoy taking the lead, and I’m happy to adapt to what is safest and most comfortable for them. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel secure, understood, and genuinely excited to spend time with me. When I enter a dog’s home, I remember that I’m stepping into their familiar space. My first priority is helping them feel safe and comfortable with my presence. I allow each dog to approach at their own pace, paying close attention to their body language and personality so I can build trust before asking anything of them. Once a dog is comfortable, I love engaging them through safe, interactive play that matches their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to provide both physical exercise and positive companionship while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries. I strive to leave every dog feeling secure, respected, and excited to see me again. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying our time together. I don’t expect dogs to adapt to me—I adapt to the dog while providing clear, consistent boundaries.
“**5 Stars – Excellent Caregiver!** We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received while we were away. Audrey took great care of our dog as if she were her own. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated with photos, and our dog looked so happy and well-taken care of when we returned. Our home was left spotless, and it was clear that Audrey treated our space with respect. We will definitely be booking with her again for future trips.”


“Jessica was great! She was on time, respectful of our home and was a great comfort to our dog who needs just a little extra looking after when it rains. I was comfortable leaving my dog in her care and I would rebook with her in the future and would recommend her to other pet parents. Thanks Jessica!”

After years of searching for a trustworthy, personable, and knowledgeable in-home pet sitter, we are so grateful to have found Anna. Anna is dependable, caring, and has all the skills needed to confidently care for multiple dogs. From the moment she met our pups, she formed an immediate connection with each of them, despite their very different personalities, preferences, and obedience levels. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals, and they love her right back. We truly can't say enough wonderful things about Anna—although we'd rather not praise her too much because we'd love to keep her all to ourselves! Thank you, Anna, for giving us the peace of mind to travel without a single moment of worry, knowing that our pups and our home are receiving the very best care!
Lauren was great watching my senior baby girl. She followed instructions and was easy to reach the whole time we were gone. She maintained our home tidy, just the way we left it. She even washed the sheets prior to leaving. I’ll definitely recommend her as a sitter!

I’m always so grateful to have Sarah look after my sweet old pup when I’m away! And this time Sarah also cared for my friend’s dog who was visiting. Sarah always makes the time to ensure that she’s up to date on any changes and she even came by for an extra meet and greet to meet my friend’s dog before her stay. I love getting all of her updates, and knowing that the pups are loved so fully while I am away makes it easier for me to be present and enjoy my time out of town.

Paige took such good care of our house and our three puppies while we were gone. She was super communicative, shared pics, and I could tell made everybody really comfy. During the meet and greet, she was asking great questions and writing everything down. We love Paige and will definitely be calling her again soon!
Brooke was absolutely wonderful!!! Leaving our 7-year-old Japanese Akita with someone new was a big decision for us, but Brooke exceeded all of our expectations. She took the time to build trust with Eoshi, and it was clear from her updates that she genuinely cared about his well-being. When we returned home, Eoshi was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He ate well, enjoyed plenty of walks, and seemed completely comfortable with Brooke.

Everything was spotless when we returned, and she even started a load of laundry with the bed linens before leaving, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Brooke with Eoshi again in the future. Highly recommend!

Brandy was a fantastic dog sitter for our old man, Dash. She communicated regularly and gave him all the love while we were gone. She flowed instructions and made sure he was well cared for. I’m not even sure Dash was all that happy for us to come home. 🤣 We will absolutely reach out again.

Katherine provides outstanding care for our dog, Bailey, who gets so excited the moment she walks through the door. Beyond her excellent pet care, is a fantastic communicator. We receive updates, notes, and photos daily, which makes being away so much easier. Most importantly, I have complete peace of mind knowing she is in our home; she is incredibly reliable, professional, and treats our home with the utmost respect. She is easily the best dog sitter we have ever worked with, and we feel so lucky to have found her! 🐶

Gretchen was fantastic with my dog, Marshall. It was immediately clear that she has a genuine love for animals and truly enjoys spending time with them. Marshall took to her quickly, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She took him on nice long walks, gave him plenty of attention, and did a wonderful job keeping him happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive she was to his routine and needs. Gretchen was also incredibly respectful of my home and left everything spotless. It’s not always easy to find someone who is both an excellent pet sitter and such a considerate house guest, but she was both. I would absolutely trust Gretchen with Marshall again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter.

Chase was such a good sitter for my dog! I was initially worried because I was looking for someone last minute, but Chase put my worries at ease. He was communicative with me when I was away, kept the place clean, and also watered some plants! Would definitely hire Chase again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Marshall. From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure both Marshall and I felt comfortable. Marshall was adjusting to a new living situation, and Sarah was incredibly patient, attentive, and accommodating to his needs and routine. She provided excellent care, kept me updated, and gave me great peace of mind while I was working long night shifts. It was obvious that Marshall was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention and affection while I was away. Sarah was also extremely respectful of my home and left everything clean and tidy. I truly appreciated how considerate she was of both my space and Marshall’s needs. I would not hesitate to book with Sarah again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter.
