“Mikayla was wonderful taking care of our dog at our home. She provided daily updates, and pictures while we we're away. Even through in a load of bedding and ran our dishwasher for us. Highly recommend! We'll definitely ask her back in the future.”
“Payton was awesome! She sent lots of pictures, helped with learning how to walk my dog on a leash, and provided great tips and tricks for training. I will definitely be calling her again.”
“Great sitter! I’ve worked with Nikayla a few times now and she’s been great! I do not worry about the safety or well being of my pups when she’s taking care of them! I will continue to book with Nikayla! She’s great!”
About: I've breed chihuahuas an I've also rescued newborn kittens an bottle fed them. Also any animal that I find or see I feed an try to care for them. Pet care is my life an I take care of my furbabies all day. I love to rescue or help any animal in need. ❤️ I treat them like my babies or furry children. I will feed an walk or entertain any animals purposes. Safe an loved at all times.
“Kenny took care of our three dogs and one cat for a week while we were on vacation and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. His attention to each pet's needs, the way he engaged with each of them, his patience with our 17 year old spicy chihuahua (with special needs) was more than I could have hoped for. Kenny was always communicative, sent lots of pictures, asked all the questions you hope your sitter will ask, and took amazing care of our pets and our home. Having him care for our crew made our vacation so much more enjoyable because I knew I didn't need to worry about how things were going at home. Honestly - if I could give Kenny more than 5 stars, I would - he's the best!”
“DeDe communicated very well. She sent pictures of my dogs to me and gave me ongoing updates. One of my dogs needed eye drops and she didn’t mind administering them. The house was in great condition when I returned, you wouldn’t know anyone had been there. Would definitely use DeDe again.”
“Alison was prompt and went the extras for my animals. I got pictures and check ins. This was the first time the animals had been left with someone they didn’t know. They were happy to see me, but not crazed so I know they were fine. The animals donuts have been good as she said I can book her again!!!!”
About: I grew up with a best friend who loved animals and had everything from prairie dogs to parrots. I love all animals and am very experienced with exotics as well. I have a 4 year old Chiweenie, Fitzgerald, who is my buddy. I want to be able to provide care for your pets like I get to for Fitzy. I will be sure to follow any directions left to keep your pets in the same habits. I also am open to creating a schedule for your pet.
“This was our first time using Rover and Belle was great to work with! Great communication and I felt much better getting to leave my senior dog in the comforts of his own home. We came home to very content dogs that had been well taken care of. Thanks Belle!”
About: Life-long animal lover and future vet, dedicated to providing expert care and comfort for your furry babies. This will also be my 3rd year taking veterinary classes! I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time on my hands and I’d still be doing this when school starts back up. I have a fenced in backyard and I have 2 Yorkies that love meeting other dogs and cats. I have one cat that is also very friendly.
About: I volunteered for 2 1/2 years at a local pet shelter and have been pet sitting for 10 years now! It doesn’t even feel like a job to me!! Sadly, my dog (boxer) has crossed the rainbow bridge but I have grown up around pitbulls, Rottweilers, mastiffs, Chinese cresteds and yorkies! I also love any opportunity I can to take care of a feline! I would love the opportunity to care for your animal and help keep him or her as happy as can be! I work a full time job, Monday-Friday so my availability is mainly evenings and weekends. I am available for overnight stays as long as you are okay with me going to work during the week! I am in office 3 days and can work from the house 2 days a week. I follow all house rules and make sure the pet gets the same love and attention they do on a daily basis! The priority is making sure they are happy and comfortable!
About: I’ve lived my whole life with dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. From spotting subtle signs of their needs to keeping them happy with playtime and walks, I know how to provide a safe, loving environment. Your pup will be in great hands with me! I work from home and can ensure there is plenty of time during the day to care for your pet! Since I can work anywhere, I can dedicate more time to this task and ensure your pet is being enriched and protected. Coming to your home, I would ensure only the task at hand is my priority. Whatever guidelines you set for allowing me into your home, I would follow with integrity. Your pet would be cared for as if they were my own!
“Jenifer was a fantastic sitter for our cats and dog. She was quick to communicate, left a great diary of each day, and went above and beyond for taking care of our home. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
About: I have owned cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs and bunnies. We love animals. My children love to play and take care of animals also. We are very comfortable with all kinds. We currently walk dogs and volunteer at the SPCA. I work in health care. My children would love to own a dog of their own so we are giving them experience with taking care of the animals and responsibility. We also love taking walks outside and playing. We treat animals like they are our own. We have a large yard outside and a great neighborhood to walk around. We also enjoy coming to houses to take care of the animals and walk them. We know they are special to you and they are your children!
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, I recently lost my 11 yr old lab Aro and missing the unconditional love of a dog. I can’t get enough of furry cuddles and playtime—I would love spoil yours too! From pet sitting the neighbors animals as a kid to in-home pet sitting for family and friends as an adult. There is no greater love than the unlimited love from our fur babies. I am retired, so very flexible to work with your schedule. I can make multiple visits to your home each day, have them come and play at my house. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I love playing ball or frisbee with them. If they prefer walks I have a great neighborhood to walk in. They will mostly be indoors snuggling with me. If your pets prefer their own home I am also available to stay in your home or drop in.
About: I've owned dogs for 25 plus years. I'm patient and loving. I'm also good at training puppies and I love all munchkins. Let me help. I'm currently available part time. I can come as early or late as you need. I can come on short notice as long as I am close to the area. I do not offer any overnight sleepovers at my home due to having a dog of my own. My dog is very sweet but is very playful.
About: Animals are one of my biggest passions, and I have owned a huge array of domesticated as well as exotic pets all my life and there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than hanging out and taking care of animals. I am a preschool teacher so I am always available on the weekend. Don’t hesitate to book or reach out to me for more questions. My own pets are loved and spoiled. I make sure to interact with them daily as well as check up on them throughout the day as necessary.

Shelisha F.Star Sitter
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”

Maryanna R.
“Maryanna is an incredible pet sitter who treats every animal as if they were her own. She's patient, loving, and extremely dependable. You can truly see how much she cares-my pets are always excited to see her! I have complete peace of mind knowing they're in such capable and compassionate hands.”
Chloe U.
“Chloe was a volunteer under me at our local SPCA, she is a solid handler, kind and compassionate as well as dedicated and committed. Since then she has become our pet/house sitter for anytime we go out of town. She is reliable and trustworthy. We have 5 dogs, 2 cats and a tortoise and every time we come home from a trip they show to have been well cared for happy and the house stays clean! What more could you ask for? Aside from that, anytime she visits she has a “fan club” (all of our dogs & cats) hovering around her and sitting by her. I highly recommend Chloe for all of your dog walking & pet sitting needs.”
Sarah L.
“I’ve trusted Sarah to care for my cat, Ruthie, and my dog, Nico, on numerous occasions. Each time, they’ve both been happy and excited to see her—evident by the tail wagging and head bumps they immediately greet her with. She treats them like they’re her own and knows exactly how to approach them to make them feel safe and loved. And when my cat exceeds her petting limit, Sarah always respects her boundaries. Every time I leave them with her, I know they’ll be taken care of just the way I would. Sarah is punctual, organized, and on top of loving your fur babies, she’ll make sure all their needs are met. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone!”

Alisa R.
“I've known Alisa for years, and if there's one thing that has always stood out, it's how deeply she cares for animals. She's looked after my dogs many times, and they absolutely adore her, probably because she gives them as much love and attention as I do (maybe more, but don't tell them that!). She’s gentle, reliable, and genuinely joyful to be around pets. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just “watch” dogs, she connects with them. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, going for a walk, or just sitting outside in the sun, she’s happiest when she’s got a furry friend by her side. She always makes sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you can’t do better than Alisa! She’s one of those rare people who animals just seem to gravitate toward—and once they do, she makes sure they still get all the snuggles and love they deserve!”

“Shawna has been very caring and informed about her own pets, and I have no doubt she will be just as caring and accommodating with other pets. She is very friendly and genuinely loves what she does.”
