We would definitely work with Ayreal again, a trustworthy sitter all around.”


About: Hello! I would describe myself as very patient, active, and involved! I have four years of experience pet and home-sitting for all pets! I am happy to help with household chores and enjoy working with families to provide the best care for furry (and not furry friends)! I am a doctoral student so my day to day time is somewhat flexible! I am a morning person who enjoys long walks, so energetic pets are welcome! I grew up with multiple giant breed dogs, rabbits, and lizards, so I have experience with most pet needs! I am happy to walk, feed, and keep your pets company!

“Shannon saved us when our dog sitter had to cancel last minute. Our home was left cleaner than we left it and our dog was happy as could be! We will definitely be using Shannon in the future!”


“Nine was amazing! Highly recommended her services! She stayed in our home for 9 nights while watching our 2 dogs. Everything went so smooth and she truly helped us be able to relax knowing our boys were well taken care of!!”


“Our dog is a couch potato who just wants company, but also finds some things like walks scary. We thought she might prefer a house sitter, instead of boarding. Being our first time having someone stay at our home, we didn't know what to expect. But Kathryn was very laid back, prompt and communicative. She sent a daily update with photo and left the house clean. She made the whole experience easy. We trust her with our home and dog, we would book with her again!”

“Jeremy was great with Fitzgerald! He gave updates, sent pictures and was so friendly during our meet and greet. He walked him, hung out with him, and played with him. I’d definitely book again and trust him with any pup!”


“Leea stayed at our house with our dog and parakeets. She took good care of them and of the house, and she sent us pictures to keep us posted. We hope to work with her again in the future. Thanks, Leea!”


About: My most impressive experience comes from 4 years of occasional dog sitting for a Great Dane. Some of those years included changing diapers and dealing with their many other health problems. I am happy to help in any way that I can. I’m currently searching for a job so my availability is very flexible at the moment. If this changes I will update this section as soon as possible. I respect how each pet owner chooses to care for their animal. I will follow all directions given to a tee. As I stated above, I used to care for a Great Dane that had many specific needs.
