Sarah is an excellent dog sitter! We have used Sarah's services for over a year, and her care has been consistently outstanding, especially with managing our dog's specific needs. Her communication skills are top-notch; we always receive frequent updates. It's not easy finding someone you trust with your pet, but Sarah is the best. She is professional, and dependable. Our dog is always so excited to see her, which tells us everything we need to know. We come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog every time. We are grateful for her excellent service and the peace of mind she provides. Highly recommended

About: I have always been an animal lover, having multiple cats, dogs, chickens and taking care of the animals on my aunt’s farm since I was a child. I work at a doggy daycare which has enhanced my knowledge of different breeds energy levels, mannerisms and needs as they grow older. I would love to give your furry kids all the fun, love and care they would otherwise miss while you are away! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your furry kids lots of love and attention! I’m available on the weekends, mornings 7-11am and at night after 6:30pm and offer overnight care everyday. I will follow any instructions or suggestions you give me and always respect your home. If you have a fenced in yard I will let your kids run wild, if not, I will happily take them on a 30 min walk minimum and play with them lots afterward so they get a good exercise! I will give them lots if attention and kisses and send you pictures of them living their best life!

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am. I work part-time at a dog daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That experience helps me understand their needs, read their behavior, and keep them happy and safe. At home, I have my own furry family (1 dog, 1 cat), and I treat every pet like it is one of my own. When you trust me with your pets, they’ll get the same love, patience, and care I give to mine. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I work part-time at a dog daycare, so my days naturally revolve around feeding, walking, playing, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved. When I’m not there, I’m spending time with my own pets going for hikes, walks, giving belly rubs, and keeping a consistent, loving routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something I schedule in; it’s something that’s built into everything I do. Whether in my home or a client’s, safety and trust always come first. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure by keeping their routines consistent and their environment calm and clean. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite toys, and I always keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels. I treat every pet like family, with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.

Emma saved the day! I had a last minute trip out of town come up and Emma was able to do three drop in visits with my cats. She kept me updated with pictures the whole time and even got my normally shy cat to come out for some love. I would recommend Emma in a heartbeat.

I can’t be more delighted to have Serena care for my girls. When I met up with Serena, she had a kind, soft demeanor with excellent communication skills. During her time, she bonded with my anxious kitty to the point kitty would follow Serena around the house and would wait by the door as she came back with the mail/trash. I am so appreciative of Serena and will ask for her to come back again.

About: With 13 years of experience, I care for pets of all ages—puppies to seniors. What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is the level of care, attention, and heart I bring to every animal I look after. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet sitting—every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to match their individual routines, personalities, and preferences. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule, keeping up with daily walks, or simply spending quality time playing or cuddling, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and understood in your absence. I have extensive experience with a wide range of animals, including those with special needs such as senior pets, animals with anxiety, or those requiring regular medications. I’m confident in providing not only basic care but also the kind of gentle, attentive support that pets with extra needs require. My calm demeanor and understanding of pet behavior allow me to build trust quickly, even with shy or nervous animals. Communication is key when someone else is caring for your furry family members, so I prioritize regular updates. I send messages, photos, and videos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured that they’re happy and in great hands. I want you to be able to truly relax while you’re away, knowing your pet is not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. In addition to being loving and attentive, I’m also well-prepared for emergencies. I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly if something unexpected arises, from minor injuries to more serious situations. This preparedness ensures that your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I strive to create a nurturing, home-like environment filled with comfort, routine, and affection. I genuinely love animals, and that passion comes through in everything I do—from the wag of a tail to the purr of a happy cat, I thrive on making pets feel secure and content. Being a pet sitter is more than a job to me—it’s a privilege, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🩵 A little about me: I currently have 3 dogs of my own. One is a senior Chihuahua and the other two are 1 yr old Dobermans. I'm available during the week mornings between 9am and 1pm and evenings between 4:30 and 8pm. I work around my kids school schedules and sports. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet snuggles. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. You'll get daily updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.

About: I’ve grown up caring for both a dog and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with pets of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In addition to my own pets, I regularly dog sat a corgi named Allen for two years, giving me hands-on experience with consistent routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and care. What sets me apart is how attentive and patient I am with animals! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also great with maintaining structure, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules or making sure energetic dogs get the exercise they need. I currently work part-time, but I have flexible availability during the week and weekends. I am unavailable on Friday nights, but I’m happy to help with mornings, afternoons, and other evenings. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s care fits reliably into my schedule. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free, and I’m always attentive to their needs. I make sure doors and leashes are secure, provide plenty of care and supervision, and communicate with you so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.

About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at a school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I will take care of yours as they were my own. I love being outdoors so they won’t ever be bored. I will make sure your pup is taken care of while you are away, I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving them so I will send updates and pics to put you at ease if needed. I will adhere to rules and training that you are working on with the dog. I will ask questions to see what exactly you and they need. If needing overnight care you can be assured I will look after them and they will not be lonely. We will socialize and play until it’s time for them to go home. I can’t wait to meet all of the new paws! I work part time and very flexible. Off sat-Monday and during the week I’m off at two! I walk my dog everyday after work and we love going to places where he can run around and have some fun! My dog is a part of my family. He has a very comfortable life and his choice of space on the couch. We go for walks everyday and he loves playing in the yard
