“We had a great experience with our dog sitter! She stayed 8 overnights with our pup and took such wonderful care of him. We recently moved into a new house, so this was my first time leaving him there, and I was a bit nervous but Shanelle made the whole experience so much easier. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“We were very impressed with Gabby from the moment we met her. She’s shy but very kind and took wonderful care of our dogs. She sends lots of updates which we appreciated and reassured us that they were doing fine and having fun along the way ❤️We will definitely be booking Gabby again!”

“Nate was totally awesome, he took perfect care of our high energy border collie pups while we were away. He was diligent in the care we requested, always respectful and most importantly I could tell our dogs were happy and satisfied when we got back from our vacation. I would 100% recommend him for your pet care needs!”


“Our tried and true! We appreciate how well Susan cares for our pup like he is her own. You can tell she truly loves her time with him. And she is excellent at caring for our home while we are away too. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Reese did an amazing job: first walking me through how to introduce her to my anxious big dog at our meet-n-greet and on the first day of the sit. She regularly sent a ton of pictures of my three pets throughout the weeklong stay, which increased my enjoyment of my time away. And even though she caught a really bad cold while sitting, she remained extremely communicative and committed to staying with my pets until the day I was due home, which I greatly appreciated. And I also appreciated her efforts to make sure my home was sanitized and cleaned before I returned.”

“Jessica stayed with our pups over the weekend. She sent updates and reached out if she had any questions. We returned home and I couldn't even tell she had been here because the house was just as we left it. We are already booked for Christmas.”

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.

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.

“Amanda was great! Very responsive, setting up a meet and greet was quick and easy, and she checked in with pictures regularly so we never had to worry. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I began consistently dog sitting throughout high school starting in 2022. Since then, I’ve built strong relationships with many repeat clients who continue to trust me to care for their pets whenever they’re away. Neighbors, friends, and families rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide attentive, dependable care. As an Animal Science student, I have hands-on experience working with animals, giving me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like my own and make sure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets that need extra patience and care. I can follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications, and provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. I’m not working this summer, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m also flexible with last minute bookings and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always on a leash to ensure their safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow your specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where your pet can feel safe and relaxed. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels, and I take the time to make sure they are comfortable and well cared for. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize trust, consistency, and safety at all times.
“I cannot recommend Tyrese enough. From the moment we booked Tyrese was professional and completely reassuring. Tyrese took such good care of our fur babies and provided us with daily photos. The boys were relaxed and clearly well loved when we returned home. It was obvious that Tyrese treated them as if they were his. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring, you won’t find anyone better than Tyrese. We will absolutely book with him again.”

“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 have owned pets all my life from dogs and cats to ferrets and lizards. I am currently studying animal science in pursue of a degree in veterinary medicine. I have trained puppies and volunteered at shelters so I have been exposed to lots of different dog breeds. Last summer I worked side by side with a Vet and gained lots of experience with many animals. My schedule is very flexible considering I am a college student and only work when I am home on breaks. I am working at a vet clinic and getting experience in that field. I am also available on weekends and capable of working with you to put the needs of your pet first. My dogs have a fenced in yard so during this time of year they spend a lot of time outside and playing fetch. We have crate trained them as puppies so I can accommodate to any means necessary.

“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'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.
