“Jason was super responsible and communicated frequently while we were away. He took excellent care of our pup and our home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”


“Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!”


“Kimberly was excellent with my dog. She arrived on time, kept me updated with photos and videos and made sure my dog was fed, stimulated and exercised. She truly went above and beyond with her dog sitting service. With Kimberly, I know my dog is in the best hands and I feel 100% safe putting my trust in her!”



“Kathy stayed with my senior dog and my cat for a few days and followed all instructions and took care of them very well ! She left me updates and the place was exactly how I left it when I got back from my lil vacation! Definitely recommend and would hire her again :)”


“We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our dog received from Kaileigh. She was incredibly responsible, loving and clearly passionate about animals. We were especially grateful for the frequent updates, which reassured us that our dog was in great hands. It's clear she treats every pet as if they were her own and our dog absolutely adored her! We highly recommend Kaileigh to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away!”


About: While I was growing up, my family always had cats and dogs. I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have 7 pets. I have 2 rabbits, 2 Guinea pigs, a crested gecko, a cat and a dog. I have been volunteering at a rabbit rescue for 3 years. I have experience giving medication to dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am comfortable around dogs of all energy levels. I work full time from home, 8-5 Monday to Friday. I will be available most weekday nights and weekends. Days and times can be flexible. If I am caring for a pet in someone’s home, I will be very respectful of their home and exactly follow their instructions as far as taking care of their fur baby.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 8+ years. My experience includes puppies, full grown dogs, elderly dogs, kittens, & full grown cats. I also have experience in making sure they receive any medications they may need to take. I work remotely, so I can/will be at the house all day, making sure your fur babies are not alone for hours on end and getting plenty of love and attention. I am a very clean house guest. I clean up after myself as well as the animals and respect any boundaries the homeowner may put in place. I make sure to clean the kitchen & bathroom before I leave and will even wash/change the sheets on the bed if requested.

“Jess was reliable and thoughtful. Hand feeding our puppy when he wouldn’t eat his food. We were able to enjoy our mini vacation, knowing that our puppy was in good hands.”


“Sharon did an amazing job caring for our dogs! We were gone for a week and it was the longest time we have ever been away from them. Very nervous that they would be depressed but Sharon played with them a lot and even got one of our finicky eaters to eat his food! She even had to administer an allergy pill to one of the dogs and it was not an issue. We came back and house was in good order and the dogs looked great! Would use Sharon again without hesitation.”


“Christian was wonderful with our 3 fur babies ! He did two house sitting stays and was home the entire time spending all his free time with them. When we came home from both trips our dogs seemed happy and relax. I will totally use him again for our next trip!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with a golden retriever named Emma. Now, I have 2 pups of my own! Maggie (11 y/o, terroir mix, adopted) & Molly (2 y/o, teddy bear mix, bought). I trained Molly in puppy school & did in home training between both pups in order for them to get along! I’m currently in school & working part time. I have random open periods during the day that can be used to take care of your pups! Please message me for more details about availability. No fenced yard; however, I have very long leashes & heavy duty poles that screw into the ground outside so that my pups can run freely without a fence. I also live next to a nice park with some fenced dog parks! The park also includes multiple trails, including paved and nature trails. Due to owning an adopted dog with past abuse and anxiety (which is now well controlled by training and overall healing in a loving and safe environment like my own) I do not offer in home care just in case my adopted pup is startled by the presence of another dog. Because of this, I am willing to travel for pup sitting and services!

“Tricia watched our girls for our wedding night & we couldn’t be more grateful that we found her! She came to do a meet and greet with the girls about a week before & we knew right away they would be in the best hands! We couldn’t be more thankful for her taking such good care of them!”


About: I have many years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I grew up with 3 dogs and 2 cats, and I have 5 years of experience dealing with cats with Feline Diabetes. I have 4 cats that I love and care for every day, they are my whole world! I am available on nights, weekends, and holidays. In my clients home, I would get to know the animals first and make them feel comfortable with me, and make sure I listen carefully to the clients instructions on how to care for the pet(s).

“This was my first time boarding my cat and Hayley made it super easy and gave me much peace of mind. She was kind and patient, sent lots of pictures and videos, was super flexible with any schedule changes I may have had and was super welcoming! I can’t explain how grateful I am for her service and having someone I can trust with my baby for any future trips I may have!”


“Kelly was a pleasure! We met in advance for her to meet the fur babies, which I really appreciated. She helped watch 3 of our animals, one being a senior English bulldog that needs extra care and it was comforting to know while my husband and I were away, they were in good hands. They loved her! Which is also comforting! Thanks Kelly!! :)”



About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and can’t imagine life without them. Today, I share my home with two Mini Australian Shepherds, Kobe and Bambi, who keep me active, laughing, and constantly learning. Having cared for dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, I understand the importance of exercise, mental stimulation, routine, and love. I’m experienced with leash manners, puppy training, and creating a calm, positive environment for every dog in my care. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or quiet cuddle time, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so your pup will never be short on attention, potty breaks, or playtime. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, with plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or cuddle sessions throughout the day. I have a secure fenced yard with cameras on the backyard and two friendly Mini Australian Shepherds, Kobe and Bambi, to keep your dog company. I’m experienced in supervising multiple dogs, can separate or crate as needed, and always ensure a safe, loving environment where every pet feels at home.
