“Max was absolutely awesome! It was the first time leaving my pup for an extended length of time, and I didn’t want her to be alone too long. Max showed up on time, loved Jade as if she was his own - and she loved him right back. The pics he sent me showed me that. He stayed with her, played with her, even got rid of a poisonous bug for her. He did it all. It was so nice, and so reassuring, to know that Jade was safe at home with Max while I had to be away. I will not hesitate to use him again if I ever have to be away from home again for any length of time.”


About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

“Cindy was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby felt comfortable while we were away. She was professional, punctual and made us feel 100% at ease while we were away. Highly recommended ❤️”


“Kumar was professional, reliable, and provided excellent care for my home and pets while my family was on vacation. His frequent photos and updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip.”


“Emma's communication skills were absolutely wonderful, she was very patient and knowledgeable. I was a first time user and she helped me understand the app and the process. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and how well she cared for both my dogs. She met all their needs and was extremely respectful in regards to my home. Im in the military and needed someone to care for my girls while i was on duty. 100% reccomend her.”


“Neive was great with our dog Coors. We got picture and videos update which we really appreciated. Her communication was fantastic. When we got home from our trip the house was it great shape, it was like no one was here. We will definitely use her again.”

“We had a great experience with Amy! She watched our two dogs, Zed and Bow, for the day. It was clear from the moment she arrived that she’s experienced and truly enjoys being around animals. She was attentive to their needs and communicated with us to let us know everything was going well. She sent us photos of them relaxing throughout the day, which helped give us peace of mind. Both pups were happy and relaxed when we got home, always a great sign! We’d absolutely recommend Amy and hope to book with her again in the future.”


About: I’m the kind of person who gets excited every time I see a dog and I’ve been caring for them most of my life! I’ve had my own pups and have been dog sitting for family and friends since 8th grade. Every dog I meet gets the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve. I currently work 2 part time jobs. Caring for your furry friend, on their schedule, will fit perfectly into my schedule! I have a rotating nights schedule so I have every other weekend off with only 2 nights during the week! In my home, my animals are treated like family, I’d love to do the same for yours! I am great at following their schedule and listening to their needs because I believe they deserve care like you never left!

About: I love walking my cousins dogs and even my siblings’ dogs. Dog walking is such a calming experience and very nice to have the dogs out and about! I am currently working part-time so I will be available most weekdays up until 6pm. I am not usually free on weekends and I can do early morning walks if needed. I have two cats at my house and we use to take care of my brothers dog but he has since moved out. I do not have dogs of my own as of right now, but I do love taking care of other’s pets and getting to know each unique animal.

“Shayla is a true animal lover and we were more than happy to have chose her to watch our pets(: She sent us pictures daily and the animals were obviously well taken care of when we arrived back home from vacay. I would definitely recommend her and I would very likely hire her again if possible.”


“Shannon has been with my dogs twice now. First time was as a drop in visit and second time was house sitting for 4 days. She kept me updated throughout the time I was away as well as kept my dogs very happy. They loved being with her and I was pleased with her care for my dogs. Shannon will now be my regular pet sitter as she is available and willing!”


“Hannah was quick to respond and was a life saver for my husband and I. We thought we had someone ready to go and they had to cancel last minute. Hannah came over and learned the nitty gritty of taking care of our very needy German shepherd (poor dog is on a lot of medications). She was sending texts and pictures all day of the animals. She had to stay at our home and she treated our home with respect. Would definitely book her again. Thanks Hannah.”


“Isabelle was awesome! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent regular updates of them hanging out & going for walks which let me know he was having a great time with her. I will definitely reach out to her in the future for pet sitting needs!”


About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong connection with animals. I’ve raised cats and dogs in my home for over 15 years, giving me real-world experience that goes beyond basic pet care. I understand their needs, personalities, and how to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every pet like family, offering reliable, personalized care that gives pet parents true peace of mind.

About: I care for every pet like my own, because if it was me, I would want someone to do the same. With my own senior dog I have extra care and patience to fit all their needs I currently work 7:30-4 Monday through Thursday. So my best availability is at night or during the weekends! Availability can vary depending on request and location. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am able to take your fur baby out on a leash if necessary, although caring for your pet at their own home would be preferred!

About: I’ve spent most of my adult life taking care of family and friends pets. I love playing games with them, especially tug of war, and can often be found taking a nap with them as well. I like to find a balance of stimulation and relaxation for all pets. I’m currently working part time and have varying availability. I mainly prefer afternoons but am open to mornings with my availability. Depending on what’s needed I am willing to make changes in my schedule. I live with a large fenced in backyard. I currently live with 5 dogs and two cats that I help take care of during the day.

Alexandria R.
“Alex is one of the most responsible and caring people I know—especially when it comes to animals. I've seen firsthand how attentive and gentle Alex is with pets, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and kind to look after your pet, Alex is the perfect choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pets in their care!”


Courtney T.
“Courtney is so great with my pets! I have 6 dogs that range from 30-80 pounds, and 2 cats. She has taken care of them multiple times; drop-in, overnight, and walks. I'm a very serious pet parent and I can honestly say I trust her with all of them, even my dogs with special instructions. If she has ever had a concern with any of them she contacts me right away, so I can walk her through what I want her to do. My animals love her, as soon as they hear her voice they get excited, and I can tell she loves them back as if they were her own pets.”
