“We have used Maya for several dog/house sitting occasions with our 1 1/2 year old shih tzu named Sadie. We are VERY particular! I feel sorry for her because we called her everyday when we were gone overseas for three weeks. She was fabulous. We are using her again when we will leave for 11 days. I highly recommend her.”

“Emma did great taking care of the house and our cats while we were gone! Our elder cat takes a lot of medications and Emma was able to keep track of them. She responded quickly to any request for an update. She also washed the sheets and towels she used during her stay here before we got home so our house was just as clean as when we left. Definitely recommend!”

“Karen is fantastic! We had her stay at our home for three days to take care of our two dogs while we were out of town, and she did a great job. She took time to understand our dogs' schedule and ask questions about their needs, and was very sensitive to the extra care that our senior dog requires. While we were away Karen provided informative updates and pictures, and when we got home the house was just as clean as it was when we had left. We would absolutely recommend Karen for house/pet sitting and will look to her in the future!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 and house sat since I was 15!! I was also a kennel tech for a year! This included giving medication, bathing, feeding, and just plain old watching the pets! I know CPR for our fury friends too! I have two dogs of my own as well as four cats so I am completely comfortable with a variety. I am a college student working on my masters online while working another job as well. My schedule is pretty straight forward for me so pet care will fit well as long as I keep my calendar balanced. I am comfortable house sitting for both dogs and cats. I am more than capable of crating or letting pets out to potty. I usually keep treats on me anytime I care for a furry friend. When I walk animals, I usually go for 30 minutes to an hour so that they get the excercise needed. I also have bags for when they do their business on a walk.
“Elyea was great! Our dog took to her immediately and she returned the affection. While we travelled — for 13 days — she sent us daily updates complete with photos and videos of our puppy. We would not hesitate to use her again as a house/dog sitter.”


“Ava went above and beyond when she was pet sitting our dogs over 4th of July this year. Our older dog ended up getting sick (not in any way related to Ava's care). Ava cleaned up after him and took care of him. She took him to the emergency vet multiple times in the middle of a storm and waited with him. I don't know what we would have done without her. Ava also came and walked the pups a few times before pet sitting, and she was always professional and on time. I would absolutely recommend Ava wholeheartedly. We felt bad that this was her first time pet sitting for us and she ended up with such a tough job. We didn't expect our dog to get so sick. But, when all of this happened, Ava handled the situation and did a great job. Thanks again, Ava!”
“Lauren was an amazing house sitter!! She was great about sending photos and updates on how our dogs were doing, and she left the house spotless! We would definitely book with her again!!”


About: I have extensive experience caring for animals, as I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. Growing up around pets taught me responsibility at a young age, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have become very attentive to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also companionship, patience, and love. My lifelong experience has made me confident in handling different personalities and ensuring pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student and work a part time job as a server. Most of my availability is in the mornings on weekdays and weekends as needed. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience providing private pet care for families. Over time, I’ve built trust with pet owners by consistently showing up on time, following specific care instructions, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ve cared for pets with different routines, temperaments, and needs, which has made me adaptable and attentive in any situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away.
“Leo was thoughtful, proactive and communicative. He regularly checked in, was patient and kind, and even got good feedback from the neighbors. When the dog was sick he took time to pick up meds for her and to share how she was doing throughout his stay. Thanks for caring for Mabel, Leo!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, starting with fostering puppies through senior dogs. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and basic care like feeding, walks, and medications. My neighbors trust me to watch their pets when they’re away, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cherished. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize their happiness and well-being. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings when possible! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, especially mornings and evenings. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand every pet has different needs and responsibilities, so I focus on patience and making them feel safe.
About: I've been lucky enough to take care of homes and pets in lots of different places, like California, Oregon, and even other countries. All that experience has helped me become really good at providing reliable and loving care for both pets and their people. I’m really good at going with the flow and can easily change my schedule to fit what a pet needs. Whether it’s walking the dog early in the morning, playing with them in the afternoon, or feeding them at night, I’m always flexible and ready to adjust. I always do exactly what my clients ask me to do, whether it’s about feeding their pet on time, giving them medicine, or teaching them good behavior. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I try to make their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible.
“Elena was wonderful! She was prompt, she made sure she asked a bunch of questions to really understand what our dog needed, & she did a great job with Ary! I will absolutely be booking Elena for her services again.”

“Annicka was a pleasure to work with! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and easy to talk to. During our initial meeting, she asked thoughtful, detailed questions about our puppy’s care, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout her time with him, she was reliable and kept us well-informed with great updates. We felt completely confident leaving our pup in her care and would absolutely utilize her again, as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”

“I would strongly recommend Adrienne to anyone who needs a dog sitter. She is just amazing. She did an overnight in-home sitting job with our dog Ryder and I couldn’t have been more impressed. Ryder is a high energy dog who loves attention and lots of interaction. Adrienne kept him perfectly on schedule and provided great companionship for him. She sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for. She also took the time to learn about his needs and schedule and personality before the job. I I will definitely be seeking out her talents again!”

Definitely recommend!

My dog loves Kelsie — she’s absolutely amazing. I have a special-needs dog, and Kelsie cares for her with professionalism and compassion. She communicates reliably with photo check-ins and makes daily drop-in visits. I’m so grateful for everything she does and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and caring service..
