“Our pups seem to love Anthony. They are always so tired, relaxed and happy when we get home. Definitely would recommend Anthony and Mackenzie!”
“Allison stayed with Maisie for four days in my home and it was an excellent experience. She provided daily updates and photos. Maisie was a happy girl! And my condo was in perfect order when I returned. Probably better than the way I left it. I will definitely ask Allison to come and stay with Maisie again. I have complete confidence and trust in her.”
“Mikayla did an amazing job cat sitting for me :) she willingly and eagerly listens to every nitpicky detail and understands what it means to take care of someone else’s family. When I returned my cats were happy, healthy, and my home was left the way she found it. Will gladly try to have her back.”
“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”
“Deborah was great! And our Golden Retriever Frankie loved her. She took great care of him, and our house, while we were gone. We'll definitely reach out to her again when we need great care for Frankie!”
“Dominique was great, house sat and took care of my older dog. She was very responsible, conscientious, and he seemed happy and well taken care of!”
“Skye was incredible house sitting our 2 pups for 4 nights and 5 days. She maintained communication and sent frequent photos. She made time to come socialize with our dogs during a short visit prior, so that she could get to know them as much as possible. Unfortunately, one of our pups got an upset tummy while we were away and had some accidents in the house. She was so gracious and kind in cleaning it all up, and went the extra mile in giving our dog a probiotic (we had some in the house), and cooking her chicken and rice to help, upon our request. 10/10 will book with Skye again. Thanks Skye for taking great care of our fur children! <3”
“Hailey is amazing to work with and communicates well so that you feel confident that your pet is receiving wonderful care while you are away.”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our 13 yo female dog in our home while we were away. Kaitlyn took care of all of her needs, including medication and left the house without a trace she was there. Would definitely rebook with her.”
“Lisa did a great job for us. She is a clear communicator making sure we both had common understanding of schedules etc. Asked questions when needed. She kept us updated on the pets with frequent pictures. Everything was in order on our return home. Evident the pets enjoyed her company.”
“Kara was excellent!! She had excellent communication with us. And Lacey, our golden retriever, was her priority for the day! It’s great to hire someone who loves your dog as much as you do!! Thank you Kara”
About: Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn about me! I have had a number of jobs in the past however most of them contained some element of caring for others (human AND friends with fur or fins!) Due to the pandemic I have found a couple of fun ways to earn some $. I enjoy being a driver for Uber and Lyft. And I have fun caring for a few of my neighbors' pets. I am looking to increase my income by expanding my pet care services. Things that set me apart from other pet sitters: * My schedule is wide open / VERY flexible! * I have a reliable vehicle. * I am a mature, caring, and dependable adult who enjoys all types of pets! I hope to hear from you!
“Bernajah is amazing!!! I booked her to house sit for my 100lb pitbull mix and our experience was nothing short of amazing!!! My baby suffers w/ separation anxiety and Bernajah did an amazing job of ensuring Sky didn’t feel alone and was well taken care of. I received pics and updates throughout the stay to make me feel more at ease (which I appreciate). If you’re looking for a sitter that you can trust, book Bernajah! 10s across the board”
“Sam was awesome. She stayed in our home and took care of our very needy 14 year old puggle for 8 days. Sam also got thrown a few curve balls by our dog during the stay and she handled them all like the pro she is! Highly recommend. Felt lucky and extremely grateful to have her take care our dog and our home. Great communication!”

“We were very pleased with Jess looking after our one-year old dachshund while we took a day-trip out of town. We used her "house sitting" option. We had never boarded nor left our dog with anyone since we gut him as a puppy, so we weren't entirely sure how he'd be. We could tell he had a good time with Jess because he wasn't crazy excited to see us when we got home like he would have been if he'd been kenneled up all day. He just looked at us, like, "Oh, hi." To us, this meant he had a good day. We would use Jess again!”
