“She was amazing! She husky is a pain in the booty, and she took care of her like she was her very own. She gave me and my boyfriend peace of mind in a time when we definitely needed it. We will 100% be booking w her again. If you want your fur babies to feel loved and taken care of she is definitely the one to book with.”


“Rebekah provided my cat with excellent care while I was away. She was responsive to all of my questions and requests and completed her job duties within the identified timeframe. Most importantly, my cat was not as stressed as prior occasions when I returned home. I highly recommend her and will request her services again.”


“This was our second time booking with Patrick. He was phenomenal and took the best care of our babies. Detailed notes, the cutest pictures, and even gave our dog extra attention during a storm. If you’re looking for an amazing sitter, Patrick is the one to choose.”


“Elicia was amazing with our 8 year old, shy Great Dane. This was my first time using the app and allowing someone to care for our baby. She updated us with photos every time she checked in, she updated us with how she was doing. Communication was amazing. I was very nervous & she for sure put my mind at ease & was so nice and understanding. I will be booking her again in the future everytime I can.”


About: I have a lifelong passion for dogs and much experience caring for them. I’ve had the pleasure of being around dogs throughout my life and truly enjoy providing attentive, loving care to all pets. I currently have a one-year-old Sheepadoodle of my own, and caring for her has only made me more appreciative for the companionship and joy that pets bring. I am currently a college student at VSU for my junior year and have availability M,T,W,F. I am available all day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday except for 10am to 1pm Tuesday and after 1 pm on Friday I can meet whatever needs you may have for your fur baby and care for them in whatever way you want! My Sheepadoodle is super playful and loves other dogs, she would be a great playmate for any dog!

“Our experience with Morgan was phenomenal! Morgan took care of our senior dog and cat while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and reliable. She went above and beyond, providing treats for our dog when she came to visit and even sweeping up the floors before we came home! We highly recommend Morgan for your pet sitting needs.”


“What can I say about Connie other than she took great care of My two fur Babies. She was super polite, knowledgeable and timely. Sent me pics of my two Dogs and kept lines of Communication open. Connie is awesome!”


“Sandy is amazing!! She does a fantastic job caring for my 2 pups. My dogs personalities are pretty different- one is an older rescue who is VERY territorial and weary of people he does not know. The other is a very friendly and energetic Brittany spaniel puppy. Together they are a handful- Sandy handles them both with patience! She always sends pictures when she is with them and keeps me 100% up to date with how they are doing. It gives me a huge peace of mind knowing my babies are receiving the best care possible while I’m at work! She truly goes above and beyond, and you can tell she is passionate about what she does. 10 stars!!”


About: I have owned, cared for and trained pets most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have entrusted me to walk, feed, bathe and love their pets. I have experience caring for senior pets as well. Since I don't have pets of my own, I am able to give your senior pet the individualized attention he/she needs. I recently lost my 12 year old Tuxedo cat, Bandit. She was the love of my life, and I miss her dearly. I'm looking forward to showing your fur baby all the love I can while you're away. I will do whatever it takes to ease their anxiety, knowing their owner is away. Hello, thank you for considering me. I recently retired from a 30 year design career with Interiors by Decorating Den, so I am home all day to provide a safe , loving, and structured environment for your pet. I am very dependable, responsible and trustworthy. I have provided boarding for family and friends as well as clients over the years. My grandson visits some weekends and will love having another pet to play and cuddle with at night. There is no area off limits in my home. Your fur babies are welcome to sit, stay, and play on the furniture, sleep on the beds, or lounge in the sun by the patio door. If your pet is crate trained, you are welcome to bring his/her crate or for your convenience, I have a small and medium crate available. Outdoors, I have a large grassy backyard for playtime and exercise. I have balls, ropes, and frisbees for your fur babies to play with as well.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do! From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, or giving extra love and attention, I’m confident and comfortable with it all. Friends and family often trust me with their pets, and I always make sure each one feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I’m super flexible and love spending my days with furry friends! I’m usually available on weekdays from early mornings to evenings, which makes me a great fit for walks, potty breaks, or daytime drop-ins. Weekends are more open and relaxed, so I’m happy to help with longer stays or extra playtime. I’ll always do my best to work around your schedule—your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort mean the world to me. I always make sure they’re in a calm, loving environment where they feel at home, whether we’re out on a walk or hanging out inside. I follow any care instructions closely and treat every pet like my own, with lots of patience, attention, and kindness. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well-cared-for every step of the way!

About: I love dogs so I am always happy to puppy-sit. I have my own dogs that i've had since they were puppies and have watched my friends and families dogs for years. I work from home which allows me the flexibility to be present and actively supervising your pup at all times during care. You can also contact me 24/7 if you want any additional updates/photos. I have a fenced yard that your pup is free to roam always under supervision. I have two small dogs (<25lbs) that can keep your puppy company. If your puppy does better alone I can always accommodate that as well and keep them separate. Whatever makes your puppy feel happy and safe at home will be followed here! There are no children and two additional adults in the home that are also dog lovers.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for my friends and family members for over 10 years. Whether a drop by visit or in house stay is needed you can count on me!

About: Hey there! My name is Yasmin, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I grew up with dogs and currently own a dog and cat so I understand the importance of a pet’s well-being and the trust required when someone else cares for them. I’ve only pet sat for friends before but over the past year I’ve had the amazing experience of fostering numerous different pets with the local Humane Society! This has given me experience with all different types of dogs and cats with varying ages and personalities 😊. Whether it’s a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or cuddles on the couch, I’m committed to providing your pets with the same love and attention they get at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and giving them the care they deserve! I’m currently in the military on a M-F schedule. I get a break after PT and during lunch so your pet should never be alone for more than 5 hours. I have a fenced in yard that isn’t the biggest but enough to get the zoomies out! Inside my pets get free rein but are crated at night and when I am gone. Would be open to leaving pets out depending on circumstances.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was five, so I really understand what they need. I own a friendly and loving cat who brings so much joy to my life. I'm naturally calm and patient, which helps pets feel safe and happy with me. This lifelong experience means I know how to handle all sorts of situations, making sure every pet feels loved and well cared for. Pet care fits pretty naturally into my routine since I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I usually plan my day around my pet’s needs, like feeding, playtime, and any appointments. It gives me a nice balance and a reason to slow down during the day. I enjoy the consistency and love that comes with it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routine closely, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering any meds. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel at ease, especially in a new environment. Cleanliness, consistency, and affection are key parts of how I care for them.

About: While growing up, there’s never been a time where an animal was not in my home. From dogs to horses to chickens to cats and much more. I currently have 2 rescues and know how much your four legged friends mean to you. I promise with any service you book with me, I will make sure to care for your pet just as much as I would care for my own. I’ve always loved animals and hope to pursue a career in taking care of animals as a zookeeper. I will make sure your pets will get plenty of walk and play time as well as making sure they are as happy as can be! I promise you won’t be disappointed when booking a service with me!
